One of the neat elements of this genre - owing to the team size and class/vehicle system - is the ability to blend into the unit and contribute in some fashion. Not everybody needs to be running the same guns or playing the "best" meta. In fact 6-10 no-lifers with thousands of hours are a drop in the ocean within a 32 man team. Same as those unsure of themselves and learning the game, manning a Humvee MG at the rear. Everybody can chip in, in some fashion.
@King Shoot Indeed. That was a sad day. I just don't understand why they can't just release it to the public domain. I mean, it's not like they're making a lot of money from people buying Battlefield 2 these days.
Guys i really hope that you are joking.Battlefield 2 has official dedicated server tools and support.I actually salute EA for shutting down those darn Gamespy servers since these were so lousy and unreliable especially near the end when EA stopped paying them the operating costs.BF2 will stay online for as long as there are good people that remember this great game and are willing to host servers for it.BF2Hub.com is now the go to place for place for playing online.See ya on the battlefield lads ;).Cheers
This was the first ever PC game I played as a child, playing this with my Dad hours upon hours and having the time of my life. First Person Shooters are never gonna hit the same vibe this game hit and the amount of genuine FUN I had playing it...
The teamwork and squad elements in BF2 were by far better than almost any other modern game. With the commander's ability to command squads, and squad leaders to request artillery, or tell their squads exactly where to attack/defend, it was by far the best.
@@spinningsquare1325bf2 heli was one of the most fun vehicles in a video game, actually took skill to fly good. Nowadays they hover in place when you take your hands off the controller/keyboard and you can't manuver nearly as fluidly with high skill. Very lame new controls
last one i cared about was 4... still up, but they started recently with that SJW BS and i bounced. same with Star Wars (movies, that is. games were meh from the looks of them. like the movies they were pretty, though). over it all. i now live on YT.
Still gives me chills. What an intro. So much attention to detail. Awesome showcase of weapons, vehicles and equipment. Cleverly designed combat engagements giving a realistic feel to it. Amazing music.............man............bf2042 is appalling.
Road to Jalalabad, Mashtuur City, Strike at Karkand, Dragon Valley were peak multiplayer for me. i remember being addicted to RTCW and its phenomenal multi and thinking no game could ever dethrone it but I was wrong, BF2 looked incredible, sounded incredible and PLAYED incredible. Those were the days, fellas
Because this was EA not DICE. DICE took over the Battlefield franchise. I do have to say the Battlefield games DICE are making are awesome but they are missing one thing. An epic intro like what Battlefield 2 has. Oh and that "Welcome to duty" dialogue at the end. Now that was always the best thing cause then you become so immersed and feel like a real soldier. Its amazing to see how far the Battlefield franchise has come ever since the very first Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2. Simply amazing. Its like...why don't we just fight our wars over this game instead of in real life. Lol
Still the best fps of all time. In my opinion call of duty 4 my favorite but objectivley speaking this game is....... I don't even know how to put it. Its a millennium ahead of its time.... Just outstanding.
Just to save the game - helis have flares. The heli dropped flares and did a bob to avoid the missile (it wouldnt hit it anyway with the flares out but its in there for the effect).
Fikri Aiman Yeah, but AI isn't that good and I can't play on Giant maps (can't fly upside down as well, or the co-pilot ejects out, at least it happened in the time I played), still, it may be fun.
OMG!!! 14 years later ... wow! Here´s Buckwheeds. I have good memories of sleepless nights and playfull days ;-) Greets and peace to all gamers! Stay strong these days! Cheers.
EA we want the battlefield 2.0, no more 5 or 6, only the bf2 with new grafic engine, same maps, same patrol system, same comandant system and nothing more!!! is your best shooter, don't destroy the saga with all of these shit of battlefields or call of battlefields!!
The "welcome tu duty" gave me goosebumps! Damn do I ever miss this game, part of my childhood and very nostalgic watching this intro cuz I used to watch it everytime
Man how this takes me back to literally thousands of hours of enjoyment. This was the first PC game I ever really played and man did it ruin me. I have not even come close to playing anything else as much as this. Wish they would go back to this. Nothing has come close to touching it in terms of depth. Commander, Pilot, Tanker, Attack or Transport chopper. OHHH AND THE JIHAD BUGGIES!!! I just wish EA would give the old school fans what they wanted. So many good times!
i spent many a nights playing as a good squad member. I also remember the Sandbox days. fucq man what i wouldn't give to have a taste of this amazing game one last time
I stood in line at Walmart to buy an Nvidia 5200 Ultra to play this only to realize that card was too slow and I came back the next day and bought a 5600 Ultra to play this. My god the feelings this brings back!
I still play this in single-player such an awesome game like always first fps game I ever played and still do though I will never forgive ea for shutting down multi-player servers.
This intro is the real deal is everything you will experience. The music the atmosphere everything is serious and immersive even with that graphics. Fantastic intro... something like this will never be seen again
+/pol/ was right BF3 and BF4 use new graphics engines compared to BF2 and were both way ahead of their time compared to any COD game that was out at the time. As for BF Hardline, that's not even a DICE game.

My dad (ex soldier) was extremely surprised by the quality of gun sounds. In many ways, no other game at that time had high audio quality guns. Only Brothers in Arms and Battlefield 2 were the realisitic ones. (Call of duty, Vietcong, Medal of Honor) did not have a chance
the one thing I'll always remember about BF2 and 2142 was how they had ironsights, but the recoil/bloom was just completely awful. otherwise, they were my favorites.

"Welcome to Duty"
old but gold
nice
This game was the best memory of my childhood! I will forever remember it when I play any other FPS
That "challenge everything" gives nostalgia goosebumps everytime. Old bf games were such a masterpiece.
Back when battlefield was truly still battlefield.
This games rag doll physics never failed to provide me with laughter

they are outdated. many games don't have these nowadays.
They did... Watch BF2042 intro... It's awesome
@@ajoo129 mhm, and look how that turned out XD
Best intro ever
I used to inject this game into my veins back in the day
downloaded All64 for BF2 - created a map with 30 control points - played with 256 bots - guys - it was so fuckin epic
post a video of it! Would love to see that going down
actually now I have to install it again but ok :) I will post video soon :)
Hauktjern do you want it in first person or movie made in battlerecorder?
whatever suits you the best! ;)
ok :)
They removed this game, no longer purchasable and all servers are down...that hits me right in the feels.
Not the servers are down, but the serverbrowser. You will have to connect via an external website which will give your game the IP to connect to.

man i want this game back so badly ...
Still the best fps of all time.
In my opinion call of duty 4 my favorite but objectivley speaking this game is....... I don't even know how to put it. Its a millennium ahead of its time.... Just outstanding.
Skipped this a thousand times back in 2005 and '06.
Now I'm actively searching for it and enjoying every second.
Is that what growing up is?
Guys, look! I found a piece of my childhood here. I remember rewatching this intro dozens of times.
Helicopter survives after being hit by first rocket. Second rocket is locked on to helicopter but misses anyway. Yup, this is the BF2 I remember XD
Just to save the game - helis have flares. The heli dropped flares and did a bob to avoid the missile (it wouldnt hit it anyway with the flares out but its in there for the effect).
flares countermeasures
Battlefield 1942 and battlefield 2 are the best ones of the whole franchise, B3, B4 and so on are just Cod with another name
God you sound so stupid.
Commander23c Sorry if I offended you
+E=Muffin² Bf3 and 4 are both good games. Sure, they were broken as fuck on release, but both became amazing after all the patches.
3 and 4 and Both bad companies are great games. don't spit on the series calling it cod...
+Some random idiot you don't know and 2142
Man i miss being a MG gunner on humvee or truck and mowing down anything and also riding a helicopter and feeling like a king of battle
my gawd!
this was the prime of life!
Ahh yes the ''EA GAMES challenge everything.'' so nostolgic
the good old days man i miss these moments!
Ok this intro just made me really want to play Battlefield 2 now.

Old COD had some really mean sounds though. Not the modern ones softened up for better experience on headsets....
the one thing I'll always remember about BF2 and 2142 was how they had ironsights, but the recoil/bloom was just completely awful.
otherwise, they were my favorites.
After BF 6's announcement, I have been going down a rabbit hole of nostalgia to where it all began
