Metal Island from Battlefield 2: Modern Combat – Level-up

We are going to introduce a new type of feature today called Level-up where we talk in-depth about memorable missions, levels and chapters in video games. We kick off our first one with a stage from Battlefield 2: Modern Combat called Metal Island.

There was a time – and believe me when I say this – when the first-person war shooter market wasn't dominated by Call of Duty. When this critically-acclaimed Activision series first hit the shelves in 2003, its two main competitors, Medal of Honor and Battlefield, had made their debuts not few years prior. Together, the three series transformed the new subgenre – the first-person WWII shooter – into the single most divisive subgenre of the early 2000's, and they remained champions of the cause until Call of Duty decided to step up their game one step further.
