It has no game modes, it's a persistent world. I guess the bases you have to take over have different objectives but aside from that it's just Assault a base or Defend a base.

i have not played BF4, but i did play some BF2 and a huge deal of BF1942.
PS2 is similar to the BF series in terms of gameplay; that is to say both games involve large open maps with vehicle and infantry combat, and the capping of points.
PS2 however is much larger is scale and scope. battles take place on a persistent and very large (5x5 km) maps dotted with a rather large number of bases and outposts. there are 3 factions in the game, all present on the same map and al 3 fight to capture each others territory. because of this, battles will flow between bases in a seamless fashion, rather than being round based where the game resets or loads a new map at the end of the round.

rather, combat will take very different turns depending on the situation. sometimes you end up in locations where combat primarily takes place indoors, at which point it will look a bit like team deathmatch. other times there will be heavy vehicle combat in open desert, air superiority etc and you will have to shift your loadout and tactics accordingly. there is always the objective to capture/defend the base though, so you have something to focus on.

you can unlock upgrades for most things in the game to tweak your play style, such as putting scopes or reflex sights on weapons, choosing between armor that will protect from bullets or explosion etc. there are few if any straight upgrades but rather tweaks with pros/cons. if find this aspect of the game very enjoyable as it lets you customize and play the role you prefer (and you can always expand into new roles as you see fit when you gain skill and certs).

if you liked the BF series you should definitely give PS2 a try. to me PS2 surpasses games of similar type, especially due to the scale and strategic freedom the game gives you. just don't be dismayed if you die a lot when starting out. it can take some time to get used to how the game works and combat can be quite deadly. i am battle rank 66 now and i have a K/D ratio of ~0.75 for reference so i am sure you will do fine once you get the hang of it. also, you can always ask on this forum if you have any questions about the game, equipment, tactics etc.

Mostly 3-way TDM with a pinch of conquest.It surpasses any other Modern Military Shooter (MMS) by sheer player count per server.However the game suffers from balance and P2W issues.

Most of those weapons are sidegrades that specialize in a specific role and can be outclassed by 100/250 cert weapons and even starter weapons, I don't think you understand what P2W really means.

I'm not talking about the Carbines and Sniper rifles and Assault rifles,i'm talking about Rocket launchers,SMGs,MAX weapons and the best vehicle weapons.Lets take the Lightning cannons for example. If you have the vanilla cannon you will be outclassed by a lightning that has Armor Piercing.They technically are sidegrades but the guy who has them will win if you dont have it. And the price for these weapons is insulting.
THE NC HAVE A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GUIDED MISSILE LAUNCHER!!!!

All factions have a starter rocket launcher that can damage both aircraft and vehicles, while empire-specific rocket launchers are geared towards anti-vehicle roles, not to mention that they are often outcalsses by the 250 cert dedicated launchers. SMGs are only good at close quarters and suck major balls at range, not to mention that starter carbines often do more damage than them at close quarters. The only think hat is kinda BS are MAX weapons.

Lets take the Lightning cannons for example. If you have the vanilla cannon you will be outclassed by a lightning that has Armor Piercing
And if you have AP you are sacrificing your ability to take large groups of infantry, since you can only kill 1 guy with each AP shot, as I said Depot weapons uually fill in a single role, sacrificing the rest, this is even more true with vehicle weapons

A guided missie that leaves you compeltely exposed, has an arbitrary range limit, can't 1-shot infantry even with a headshot and reqiuires more ammo than you can carry to kill a MBT from the front

Just so that we end this sub-conversation. The player who has more weapons will outclass other players in different situations.I didnt say that the game is completly P2W,i said it had P2W issues.Its easier to buy weapons with real money and buying the weapons i mentioned with certs is a pain in the ass.I'm rank 50 and i get like 30-50 certs in a one hour session,sometimes more if i'm lucky. And that's just for weapons,remember that there are Class specific abilities that need upgrading as well.

Last time i checked an p2w issue would be something like player x buys an item a free2play gamer can't get in any other way. Seriously go play a normal shooter if you are not willing to deal with an mmo mechanic but stop calling it pay2win.

Oh noes I have to 'play' a game for 20h to get a(most expensive) weapon that I can use for years....hell you probably need longer to unlock the ♥♥♥♥ in bf4
