It depends, I bought it for 2$ during the xmas sale, so for me it's a super yes ( I also still had my old account with the unlocks ).

It shows some problems, especially now that it's integrated in Steam when it was originally designed to work only with gamespy. Obv the graphics suck compared to fresh AAA titles, and it lacks some basic elements that today are considered standard ( like a kill-cam ), or has some annoying exploits.

But if you find a few people to play with, it's still worth the monies. If you play solo I wouldn't recommend it tbh - it's a team based game, and most people aren't very communicative these days.

I don't know if these guys still run bf2 servers, but texasteamplayers (apparently team player gaming now) used to pretty strictly enforce squad-based play and communication (ban for lone-wolfing!). If there's anywhere in bf2 world where you can find 63 other people with mics who are willing to work together I'd imagine it's here. That is if they still have servers:

Yeah I don't really know what was going on. I know they were sitting there waiting for like 3 minutes in the lobby. Then it went to start the game and it zoomed out to just a big open land, and then the 3min countdown started again and he was wondering what was going on. Someone said the host canceled the game or something.

I just assumed since it was on PC that someone could manipulate that?

I've actually never witnessed a 3 minute timer ( or don't remember, but I played today ), so maybe it was something special.

It usually is select server - wait 40 secs for the map to load - map appears, choose class, party and spawm - play

Any clue how many maps this game will have? Id like to get this game but Im not messing around with some silly game that has just a handful of maps.

fwiw I traded in BC2 a while ago but recently repurchased the VIP edition with all the downloads for cheap and it now has about twice as many rush maps (some old BC1 maps that were great and some conquest maps that were converted to rush like atacama desert which has both teams spawn with attack choppers) not sure how much of that is free with the vanilla version

it's not a COD copy...Battlefield 2 was doing the modern combat thing before COD4 existed

He's talking about BF:BC, which in terms of how they absolutely made the game play suitable for 12 year old speds, is pretty much a COD copy.

I have put tons of time into BF2 - going so far as to buy the Zboard and having the BF2 keyboard - looking forward to BF3 - (2nd Lieutenant)

I will say - I got so damn tired of the guys who use the jets to blow the piss out of us I stopped playing maps with Jets - (wake island, for example) but stuck with the Karkand map till the end - though for the last year I pretty much only liked the Infantry Only fights -

This is the stream. I think they are doing some kind of "I wannabe a real soldier" and playing like they are in some kind of real war.

Project Reality is an extensive BF2 mod, focused on... (drumroll)... making the game more realistic! I played it for a while - fun mod but you absolutely have to have a good team all with microphones and constantly communicating. The games can be a bit slow as the maps tend to be massive, vehicles are sparse and you have to move much more carefully as spawn times are long, and walking back from the main takes a long time. I really look forward to seeing what their dev team comes up with for BF3.

That map looks new, and pretty sick. Reinstalling BF2

Edit:

Their main site for those interested: http://www.realitymod.com/

Looks like their next installment will be an ArmA 2 mod. Bleh. Clunky game.

Ok, so BF2 isn't as good as I remembered. Move speed is loltastically fast and hit detection is pretty bad. I fired probably 40 rounds at a guy (in bursts of course) with a MG with my crosshairs directly on his chest and got 0 hitmarkers.

huge fan of BF BC2, tried MW2, BO, etc but for teamwork and tactical multiplayer BC is the best, and is the only shooter I haven't ended up selling since COD4. That said I am obv very psyched about BC3! I wish it wasn't so far off. I wasn't real thrilled by Vietnam so waiting for this is gonna be painful.

New trailer with gameplay footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNYtIMW-EG0

The new lighting looks really good. Graphics are nice too.

The sight used in the video looks very similar to the holographic sight from COD.

looks amazing

Doom I dont want it to be like COD, Im pretty sick of that series. Id just like a new fps that can take its place and this series is pretty awesome from the little that Ive played of it.
