Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for Xbox 360
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for Xbox 360 brings the large-scale military shooter to consoles with its own solo campaign. Both sides present a US-China conflict as necessary while news reports shape perceptions. You alternate between American, Chinese and European units. Infantry, tanks, jeeps, helicopters and mounted weapons often share the battlefield.
The signature Hot Swap system instantly transfers control to a visible ally. You can mark a target as a sniper, jump to a soldier beside a vehicle and then break through in a tank. Five classes have different weapons and tools. Missions set main and bonus objectives, while performance earns stars that improve campaign equipment and abilities.
The Xbox 360 version originally offered online battles for up to 24 players, but the official GameSpy service closed in 2014. The local campaign remains playable without those servers; original network operation is not promised. This is the 2005 Xbox 360 edition. The later Xbox 360 version has altered graphics, maps and balance and is not treated as identical to this disc.
Region and language
Our Xbox 360 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for Xbox 360 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
Digital Illusions CE and EA UK developed Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, and Electronic Arts released the Xbox 360 version in October 2005. It was the first Battlefield on consoles. Despite the name, it is not a direct conversion of Battlefield 2 on PC: its campaign, maps and controls were designed around a controller and Hot Swap.
The series was known for online battles where infantry and vehicles contest control points together. Modern Combat retained that foundation but added a full campaign for solo console play. Switching soldiers avoided long walks and turned every ally into a possible new position. War reports from both sides gave the missions their own narrative frame.
An Xbox 360 edition followed in 2006 with technical changes and altered multiplayer. Official servers for the original console releases later closed; the Xbox 360 service relied on GameSpy. The campaign on the disc remains independent. Later Battlefield games used different stories and systems and did not adopt Hot Swap as standard, leaving Modern Combat with a distinct place in the series.
