Battlefield 2 vs Ultima Online
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2 is one of the Battlefield classics and rightly so. The game lets you play as a soldier in one of the three major military superpowers: the United States, the Chinese or the newly-formed Middle East Coalition. Players will have access to a wide range of weaponry to do battle with as well as a variety of vehicles. Similar to the original game, the game has a large-scale multiplayer mode - the hallmark of any game from the main Battlefield series - that can accomodate up to 64 players on a single map.With more weapons and vehicles for you to play with, Battlefield 2 is a pretty nice sequel to the Battlefield franchise. However, considering that it has not yet been reworked, unlike the first Battlefield, and that currently, there is no way you can purchase the game unless you get the hard copy off eBay or a similar site, you might be better off buying any of the other Battlefield games.
Ultima Online
Ultima Online is one of the most legendary MMORPGs of all time. In fact, if you were to trace the entire MMORPG genre back to a single game, then you’d probably end up at Ultima Online. Being one of the longest running MMOs has its fair share of perks - a ton of updates to keep the gameplay fresh as well as a solid and loyal player base, and of course, downsides... there is only so much of the game they can update and graphics is, unfortunately, not one of them. That's actually great in some way since the game still retains its classic looks and charm.Ultima Online is a massive game and as you might expect, you can spend years in the game and still be pleasantly surprised to discover new parts of the game that you may not have known before. Aside from exploring the land, you can even set sail on your very own ship and make your mark at the seas as well. Character building is equally as impressive here mainly because you are free to mix and match over 50 different skills to come up with a build you feel comfortable with. However, if you're looking for a casual PvP experience, you won't find it here since your stuff can be looted by your opponent if you were defeated in combat.
As amazing as it is, Ultima Online is not a free-to-play game. That said, the game does offer a 14-day trial for players who would like to try the game out and who knows? You might just end up paying for the game for the sake of being able to fully experience the "founder" of modern-day MMOs.
