BF2 is still the best no doubt I can't stand the direction the series went it's basically COD with vehicles now. I miss the old BF with no regen health, no unlimited sprint, no grenade indicators ect.... BF2 had the perfect feel it wasn't arcadey and it wasn't a simulation it was somewhere in the middle the sweet spot. BF series has lost it's way I wish more then anything this series would go back to it's roots but I know it wouldn't happen the series is dumbed down forever unfortunately.
We can look to independent development studios for that. World War 3 and Insurgency: Sandstorm. Sandstorm will be releasing a software development kit (SDK) for modders!
This game had 3 layers. Infantry, vehicles and air combat. It's totally different. You could play like spy missions and use c4 to blow up the enemy stuff, using stealth and vehicles to drop behind enemy lines. You could jump out of a plane and jump back in it haha. It even had bullet drop. Does anyone remember sniping from one coast of wake island to the other coast? Or lying on a crane sniping on sharqi peninsula. Literally an incredible game. The bullet spread on the guns also meant that dodging and bunny hoping was really effective, so if you're aim wasn;t good you could still survive and thrive. WHAT A GAME!!
I just love how clean the graphic used to look like in BF2. Unlike nowadays's advanced and fancy graphical effect and designs, back then it was easy to identify target and just the right amount of terrain details ---- it didn't put stress on my eyes compared to modern battlefield games with all the small objects and particle effects, or modern FPS with fancy graphics in general. Maybe I'm just getting old.
I know this comment is a bit old but i agree, the more the games polish their graphics and make everything blend in more with the players the harder and more stressful it is for a player to notice the enemies. It's something i've come across many times over the years and that seems to be the right answer. Fortnite actually stood up to me as a game that actually managed to bring back that clear differentiation between player and background
@@PrimeGamator depends on what kind of person you are. For me Fortnite looks childish and everything I don't want for my shiny and photorealistic looking games. Go to the war in reality and see how hard it is to spot people there. What's the problem with that. And don't start with games aren't supposed to be realistic, then I want to play a sport games with superpowers.
Epic greatness! My first match was getting baseraped on the carrier on gulf of Oman. I went from that noob to flying ace in about a year. I never joined a clan but all the big clans knew the XXX moniker that my group of friends used. My favorite comment of all time in chat was "who are all these stripper guys killing everyone???" We either would get kicked out for imbalance/ hackusations or kicked to the clans team to fly for them as we could singlehandedly make the battlefield a no go zone in vehicles and turn the tide of the entire battle by owning the skies...good times.
i remeber one server for his funny map choices, 64 player inf only, FF is off and mapsize is 8 !!! EIGHT !!!! yea mapsuzed could be choosen based on player count but it wasnt automatic so you could set it freely. 64 slots on a 8 player map... :)) no you cant imagine the nade spam. ther ewhere more nades than bullets. if you knew certain spots a kd of 60:1 was certain lol
The biggest factor that encouraged teamplay was the fact that you could only spawn on your squad leader, so there wasn't just a constant supply of spawning enemies, it was much easier to take out a squad. That coupled with slower spawn times, bigger distances between spawns and slower movement speed meant that people played more cautiously. If I remember correctly grenade spam was only introduced in the last couple patches the game received. Some other studio was in charge of supporting the game while DICE moved on, and they made terrible gameplay changes that resulted in grenade spam, and it made it easier to resupply ammo and health so there was less teamplay.
BF2 was a big part of my childhood, one of the first games that I asked my mom to buy, if not the first. Subsequent decade and more was spent in various mods, 99% in PR. That being said, I still consider BF3 to be "the best" in terms of setting a new bar.
i remember playing this when i was young, i would either watch my dad play it, and be so surprised when he played with the goofy joystick. (that i still have) when his pc was finally mine, i played it so much in singleplayer. (cause i wasnt allowed to play with the adults in multiplayer) i always loved watching the start of it, and finding that airplane that crashed, it was so surprising to me that it had that level of detail in it, i would play it, but i upgraded his pc to a better one that doesnt allow disks.
If you still have all the files of BF2, you can download a No-Cd-Crack for free.Then you have to put some .DLL files into the system or system32 folder (or something). You will find all or most of the files in the Battlefield 2 folder. Also, you have to put the application that comes with the No-CD-Crack in to the Battlefield 2 folder. Then start the application and have fun.
it actually does. It applies to everything as nostalgia is just such an overwhelming feeling we all humans experience about anything. You see your old tamagotchi toy and get nostalgia out of it. Applies to this game as well. (Been playing bf2 for thousands of hours when I was younger but going back to the game shows not everything has aged well).
BF2 will go down as one of my fav games and Multiplayer experiences of all time. great teamplay, strong vehicular warfare that encouraged offensive and defensive strategy and struck fear on the ground in the right hands. commander mode . and teams that would play as a damn team!
Battlefield 2 is the best bf imo its a bit hardcore but not too casual like recent bf's I would love a remake with slightly better graphics not to much (to preserve nostalgia) bug fixes and maybe new content
I would love to buy the guys from the original Trauma studios a beer. I spent lots of time playing Desert Combat and BF2. The engineer was for tanking. The saiga was perfect for jumping out of a tank when getting ambushed by infantry. It was what pro tankers ran.
Very good explanation video and well structured! Glad you mentioned the weak-ass shotguns and grenade spam, because these were some of the main points in a video I recently put ''The 5 most annoying things in Battlefield 2'', which is, let's say, quite less enthousiastic towards BF2 than your video here. Yet again, very nice and simple video, and you are right saying it is perhaps the best of the franchise.
I still remember it was released one day in June 2006. I was 16 and had my fill of battlefield 1942 and i would constantly check the site and look at the loadouts and be blown away by the graphics (lol) because at the time things like bags moving on a character as they walked was INSANE. memories lol.
I recently downloaded BF2 again and there is a modded patch you can get to play online again. I've been loving it! The game is still great and still holds up today. EA fucked up closing the servers, they should have made it F2P and kept it going.
Fun facts: In an old PC gamer magazine they had some never-before-seen pics of this amazing game to be released in the future called Team Fortress 2. But! All photos of the game were of what was to be released as Battlefield 2. This was back in 2000 or something. Think I still have the magazine somewhere....
Will there be additional videos on this series? Battlefield 2142 has some great innovative gameplay. Also, too bad Hot Swap on BF2 wasn’t mentioned -although I get this was MP focused. Great series! Hope it continues.
04:10 EA didn't actually ask Revive to stop providing their services for keeping the game alive, in the e-mail it was asked that they don't make the game available for download nor use official BF2 logos as they weren't associated with EA. You would still be able to torrent the game, install from an old disk, or even install it from Origin or Steam if you owned it before it was removed from the store, and then install the Revive client. But the Revive team overreacted to EA's e-mail and just decided to cease their work, which they didn't need to. They gave no opportunity for discussion, just woke up one morning and it wasn't there anymore, no forum for us to discuss what happened, no previous warning, they just gave up for no reason. People need to stop saying that EA shut down Revive, Project Reality and Forgotten Hope 2 are still alive despite the fact that what they do is much worse in regards of EULA breach (especially PR, which still uses core BF2 stuff but doesn't require you to download it anymore), and still EA doesn't give two shits about them. Why would EA shut down Revive but keep PR and FH2 running?
Yeah I remember reading about this too and I was kinda disappointed with the revive team having no backbone at all. EA isn't like Rockstar who puts their lawyers coming to normal people's doors demanding to delete a remake of GTA San Andreas or they will sue them for 500 000 dollars. I understand that marketing your site with official logos from another company's game isn't fine so why they didn't just change it, I have no idea but it only comes cross as they were cowards. And very true with PR, if it was Rockstar's game PR makers would've been sued already, the project would've been cancelled and probably Rockstar would be demanding 50% of the profits of SQUAD. EA isn't so bad in the end when you comapre it to Take2Interactive and Rockstar games.
they should know what we want by now. simply put, they arent listening to the people who generate their money. the consumers so they can suck a salty turd and go under for all i care
I believe that's the only way Dice would be able to "get back to the fight" with the franchise, because right now they're critically wounded and need to be revived.
There was a mod made for BF2, while not having the long term impact of Project Reality mod still deserves a mention. There was the mod "Desert Conflict" aka DCON. It was a RECREATION of Desert Combat mod but for BF2. At the time of BF2, Desert Combat was still a game that was still unique and fresh in players minds but needed to be brought up to the present because when new games are released in a franchise you will often suffer from the large migration of the old community to the new game. The migration from the BF1942 community to the new BF2 community was huge. Ultimately, it was a great mod but suffered from over promises by the team and poor pr management.
You can still play it online in 2018! Go to BF2Hub (dot) com, to download a launcher that will patch the game with a server redirect to the website's server. There are several servers constantly running and most of them are populated. At least 1 sever is always filled. Have fun!
I remember sitting in my dads lap for hours when he played with his friends. I got my own account when i turned 8 and i played for hours trying to learn flying. I wish it was simpler to play it today. Best game of all time. But i do wish the soldiers had better stamina.
Bf4 is better than Bf3. Bf3 is the die behind the corridors simulator. Bf4 is the true successor for Bf2. Having actually Russians speaking Russian (not that shitty English accent like bf3....), commander mode, Chinese faction, combination of vehicle and infantry play from land to sea to the air (not just land and air and sea as a transportation area like bf3), overall larger maps (Bandar Desert and Alborz Mountain were big maps) the day Bf4 came I uninstalled Bf3 after being so frustrated with that game. And I am glad Bf4 got fixed in the end as it's still the best Battlefield out there. TTK is perfect, its not too fast paced while being pretty run and gunning type game like all games are these days.
It's a shame how the hitreg problems and nade spam made it more frustrating than it should be. But it really is a well designed game, it's amazing how one can lay down and try a cheeky line of sight but DICE put some object in your way to prevent overpowered camping spots.
BF2 is what you get from a passionate developers that love their community and would even go as far as to listen to them and make improvements upon older mechanics.
My last rank was staff sergeant or so, before the server shutted down. It was fun, with plenty of opportunities with jihad jeeps, or hiding in the bushes in ghillie suits, or whack unaware enemies nearby. But in helicopter battle, i always get missiled by opponent's helicopters since they have better graphic card which render landscape further than my average graphic card. Still love that mi-28 with its grenade launcher cannon
As much as I love BF2, the game wouldn't be popular if it were to be remastered today. Don't get me wrong, I love BF2 more than any bf games since (until 1, I don't play V). I love the slow-pace teamwork-heavy combat of BF2, but I don't think the current fans of the series would view it with rosy glasses like me. They are used to auto heal, fast pace rambo styles gun fights, ammo pool reload, and infinite sprint. They would despair this game.
Ahh yes the battlefield game where weapons deals less damage than a peashooter, accuracy of weapons that is worse than my 90 year old grandpa’s aim ,pistol is more accurate than a sniper rifle, and so much grenade spam plus Reloads AK rifle with the same magazine just rotated and 10/10 would play it again
I don't understand why Publisher and Developer seem to think customization and easy gameplay are a good thing for games. A good thing perhaps for Arena Shooter like Overwatch, but not for games like Battlefield 2. Or Battlefront.
Offline CTF is the best mode for any game and that's what I love about BF2. I hope EA listened to every comment of offline CTF lover here and granted our wishes with a remastered BF2
Wäre cool wenn du ein video zu Forgotten Hope 2 (Mod für BF2) machen würdest! Vor allem jetzt wo BFV eher zu einer Enttäuschung wird was das Setting im WWII angeht. Vielleicht würdest du damit sogar die Server etwas auffüllen ;)
History without mentioning the problems with Patch 1.3(?) who added the vehicle drop to make maps like karkand unplayable because of clipping trough walls with dropped cars seems a bit like bad research, but nice video after all
Uncle Jo its not multiplayer, because if it is, there is not enough explosion and the Commander doesnt spam *ENEMY INFANTRY SPOTTED* Every 2 fucking seconds

Indigo 99 run n gunning is impossible too except if you the SMGs and the sound of radio chatter for the map warlord(SAS,S.forces expansion)
The World War 3 game looks like a mix between BF2 and BF3.
That's something to look forward to
We can look to independent development studios for that. World War 3 and Insurgency: Sandstorm. Sandstorm will be releasing a software development kit (SDK) for modders!
IKR? they shoulda worked on balance and mechanics, not emulating CoD.
It was pretty damn arcady with all the dropshotters, c4 hoppers, as well as the grenade spam.
I put over 2,500 hours into this game. Not only is this the best BF game in the franchise but my favorite and best online game ever.

Battlefield 2 is perfection. Fast, exciting and where bold moves could turn the battle around. BF3 was almost as good. BF1 and BF4 both suck big time.

I love the slow-pace teamwork-heavy combat of BF2, but I don't think the current fans of the series would view it with rosy glasses like me.
They are used to auto heal, fast pace rambo styles gun fights, ammo pool reload, and infinite sprint. They would despair this game.
Ahh yes the battlefield game where weapons deals less damage than a peashooter, accuracy of weapons that is worse than my 90 year old grandpa’s aim ,pistol is more accurate than a sniper rifle, and so much grenade spam plus Reloads AK rifle with the same magazine just rotated and 10/10 would play it again
Love this game and there a video on here how to use it again on line
I have the cd and key and going to play it again .it was plain and simple to use some are to hard to use now
i just got this with the AIX mod pretty damn excited
More commonly known as "The last good thing dice produced"
I don't understand why Publisher and Developer seem to think customization and easy gameplay are a good thing for games. A good thing perhaps for Arena Shooter like Overwatch, but not for games like Battlefield 2. Or Battlefront.
they don't make the game for pc. they make it for children playing on consoles as that's where they sell the most and there's alot less piracy :p
So hard gameplay is crap inaccurate weapons, grenade spam, c4 jumping, and dropshoting? I'll take Battlefield 3's style of gameplay.
My *favourite* battlefield
I only ever had the Computer Bild Demo. Still good times
ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ Gulf of Oman?
i think so yea
Definitely the best of the series!!!!
good old times
can you do an episode for the mod Project Reality?
Offline CTF is the best mode for any game and that's what I love about BF2. I hope EA listened to every comment of offline CTF lover here and granted our wishes with a remastered BF2
are you gonna make a video on Project Reality?
The amount of shots needed to kill was ridiculous
Please continue forward and do an episode on BF:2142 :)
What a game. So many hours spent playing it. I still revisit it regularly via BF2Hub and it holds up!
2142 was my fav battlefield game love all of them.
Wäre cool wenn du ein video zu Forgotten Hope 2 (Mod für BF2) machen würdest! Vor allem jetzt wo BFV eher zu einer Enttäuschung wird was das Setting im WWII angeht. Vielleicht würdest du damit sogar die Server etwas auffüllen ;)
How does someone obtain a working copy of this game? Does anyone think EA will ever rerelase it?
I wish the video is longer
Can't wait for 2142
You can still play online. It's free. Just search for "bf2hub" on google. See you on the battlefield!
all in me , miss this Game
Ah, taking part in the hail of hand granades... Good times 😁
the question is when will esc do bf heroes
History without mentioning the problems with Patch 1.3(?) who added the vehicle drop to make maps like karkand unplayable because of clipping trough walls with dropped cars seems a bit like bad research, but nice video after all
Wake Island 24/7
I always thought of this game as the spiritual successor to tf2 brotherhood of arms
This game was great mods like project reality were made for it.
Best times
The best just the best Battlefield !
Always love BF2
where did you get the multiplayer footage?
Uncle Jo its not multiplayer, because if it is, there is not enough explosion and the Commander doesnt spam *ENEMY INFANTRY SPOTTED* Every 2 fucking seconds
U can still play it online. Just not on official Servers. But u can an there are many filled servers
9:24 i was always doing that lol
bf2 is best bf game ever made
BF2 is still the best game there is on the field. I remember at the time COD4 came out, it was nothing compared with BF2.
a deja vu on battlefield 5 and cod modern warfare
BF2 is still better than V 1 and 4
JanKaszanka five isn't even out wym
JanKaszanka No it isn’t take off your nostalgia goggles and look at this objectively.
@@finessed4453 we've all seen the gameplay, it's BF1 with skins...
@@sheevinit1490 objectively? The BF2 gameplay is just better.
Titanium Rain
No it definitely doesn’t. The Gameplay does not hold up.
where can i download it?
Ellis Pretty much nowhere anymore. I don't know why they don't sell bf2 anymore. The best you can do is look on Amazon and such.
thanks
Ellis someone on moddb created a remastered version of BF2 thats standalone so you can play it without downloading the original
where can I buy it?
Ram Gilamar Pretty much nowhere anymore. I don't know why they don't sell bf2 anymore. The best you can do is look on Amazon and such.
real unfortunate but thanks
Ram Gilamar You could try to download it at igg. Search 'bf2 igg' on Google, and you'll find it.
I'll take a look at it, thanks
Still playing
One of my best multiplayer experiences ever.
Enlisted July 2015
used to watch the opening all the time and it excited me so much!
The biggest issue for BF2 were crappy hitpoints.
