Battlefield 2: Lite?

With my aging game PC not able to keep up with the (crushing) specs of Battlefield 2, I've been eyeing the new release of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat on the Xbox.

My gut reaction is that it really must be a 'lite' version of the game.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat is a game anyone can play, but very few can master; it offers impeccable FPS gameplay, assorted classes to choose from, well balanced maps, more vehicles than even Halo® 2 can shake an energy sword at, and a Conquest game mode that defines elegant game design.

The Gamespot Hands-On Preview doesn't have anough meat for me to make a decision, though it does offer some interesting commentary.

It feels great to stand on top of a high bridge and fire grenades at tanks passing below, and likewise it's quite satisfying to blast a bunch of people off a bridge with a shot from a tank. There are plenty of environmental effects employed in the game as well. In some levels, weather effects like sand storms and snowfall can make it difficult for snipers to find their targets.

I think I'll probably pick this game up as a rental to kick the tires when it's released.
