Battlefield 2: Modern Combat is the fourth entry in the Battlefield series, developed by DICE and published by EA. It serves as a console adaptation of the highly praised PC title, Battlefield 2.
The solo campaign centers on a fictional conflict between NATO and China set in Kazakhstan. Throughout the war, media outlets from both sides broadcast propaganda, each accusing the other of committing war crimes, while the player alternates between fighting for each faction. As the player ultimately selects a side to guide toward triumph, it is uncovered that a terrorist group named Burning Flag orchestrated the war by deceiving both NATO and China into conflict. The war crimes each side believed the other committed were actually staged by Burning Flag, which also interfered with the sole known peace negotiation effort. The victorious nation must then stop Burning Flag’s leader, Commander 31, from launching three nuclear ICBMs targeting the United States, Europe, and China; if this fails, both sides would be left with nothing to fight for or survive. After a fierce confrontation, the ICBM launches are stopped and Commander 31 is eliminated, with the player celebrated as the hero who secured victory for either China or NATO.
