One of my favorite things about BF2 was the sense of progression. When you received a promotion, a medal, a badge, or a ribbon, you damn well knew exactly what it was for and you could actually be proud of it. Today's "achievements" and "ranks" are all but completely disposable.

This is one of those games that NEEDS a remaster. Since the servers are down; it seems like the opportune time to bring back those old memories again.

[@akamaru7753]

OctoberHourglass one of the best games ever made

[@fifthcolumn388]

It was probably one of the least buggy and most polished Battlefield games to date. Granted, it probably shouldn't have even been a Battlefield game to begin with and Hardline should have become like a larger scale competitor to Siege from EA, but that doesn't make it not a great game. I think that it would have been far more popular if they'd done a cops/National Guard vs Cartels/terrorists setting than the pure cops and robbers that they went with. Fighting terrorists on the streets of LA is way more engaging than fighting a gang on the streets of LA because one of these things is a fresh experience and the other is the evening news.

[@ronin6327]

My college days. God, I love and miss this game. I miss the sound of drums when I’d achieve a new rank or medal.

It's incredibly sad that 2142 has died. I thought the community would stick around longer. Now there's hardly any servers up at all. Battlefield 2142 will always be my favorite battlefield game. I liked it even more than Battlefield 1942 during its time. 2142 gave us automated flying sentry bots, UAV bots, placeable shield cover, tactical cloak, placeable machine gun sentries, titan mode, drop pods, etc. 2142 was the most innovative game at its time and now the Battlefield franchise has deteriorated to the point where now they're calling a Cops vs Robbers a Battlefield game. That game doesn't even make any sense. "Hey, let's send in a military jet and deal millions dollars in property damage to catch some crooks robbing a bank!" They should have made 2143. 2142 with frostbite 3 would have been magnificent,

[@seth2428]

John Kim there are barley any up, but this few servers are still constantly full

[@GrimGearheart]

John Kim Well, they're definitely working on 2143, I just hope they do it justice... How I know they're working on 2143: Crates in some Battlefield 3 maps say "2143" on them. Battlefield 3 easter egg of a small futuristic UAV flying around. The last DLC pack for BF4 is called Final Stand. It includes maps called "Walker Factory" and "Titan" and features a "Multi Kill Vehicle" which is basically a drone with a damn minigun on it. Oh, and let's not forget the BJ-2 knife, which is the knife from BF2142.

[@johnkim5718]

Grim Games They're not. DICE is busy working on Battlefront 3, which is why Visceral made the spin-off Hardline. They probably will make 2143 after Battlefront 3, but that means we have to wait, what? 3 more years?

not really countered cause on levels like jalabad it didnt matter if u tried to do that, the wave of grenades and resupplies was just the tip of the sword as the squads moved forward through the city at a sprint. so if u tried that tactic they would just shoot u right away as they moved forward and u had your head in the wall.

[@kjaesp]

not really an issue, have plenty of medic bags dropped around you and position yourself well and you'll be fine. the enemy has to deal with nades too so it's not like they have free rain of the streets.

[@GonzoDonzo]

Sir Delta well if both teams are employing mortars its easy 2. whenever you fire a mortar u appear on the minimap so your a ripe target for counter mortars. plus unless u get a direct hit its going ot take 2 mortars to kill someone. the time between mortars is long enough for a person to get up and move. i just dont really see the problem with it and ive played it quite abit. shotgun is far easier to rack up the kills with. snipers love a mortarman aswell. interesting tidbit, if your on a mortar u cant be bayonet charged or have a melee kill animation get u.

Personally, I think the jets in BF2 were better than the crap we've been giving since. They were powerful, just like air power should be. You also had bombs to drop using your judgement and skill to work out angles etc, not just laser guided crap. Two player jets. Better dog fights. Larger maps to fly around on. The only imbalance was the J20 vs F35 which made Wake awful at times. You had to RELOAD by flying back over your airfield, and this is how you repaired too. Not re-spawning ammo and health crap. Siiiiigh. I miss this game so much.

[@Pekkio]

I agree. the 2 seated jets and the reload system was great

[@KoeSeer]

+TheH3dgie the 2 seated jet is it F-18 or F-16? I remembered I took the bomber role. It was one of greatest moments in video game I ever had.

All your hardwork, your death and kill count was paid. You rank up to.... Sergeant! From 1st Class Corporal. And you look your teammate are Major, Captain, even 3 Star general lol.

Battlefield 2 is the best battlefield so far and also it was mind blowing in so many ways. It feels like i played the game a millenia ago but i still remember the fun and the thrill i had from it. Just seeing the logo makes me emotional. It reallly was the begining of a new era. Graphics might be old now but any other aspects would be still considered great if some unknown company had put it on the market now with new graphics.If you check the market there is still no competition for battlefield in the market. I don't mean as an FPS game but as a rival which does the same gameplay features. You can say arma but it is not a game that you can join a server and start the fight right away. It doesnt work that way. And its more of a simulation. There is the Squad but it is nothing like battlefield, it is still a simulation-ish. For example; PUBG has its rivals, h1z1, fortnite, ring of elysium etc... They all use almost the same formula. But no competition for the battlefield. I wish there were so this game genre would improve much more till now. Battlefield is still competing with itself. dont tell lme COD, its just a arcade shooter. I am not saying its bad, but it has nothing to do with battlefield. They just compete on who is gonna sell more first.

Best in the franchise imo. It had the claymore/grenede flaws of course, but the 'nades felt nerfed for some reason compared to BF2. The claymores were also relatively easy to disarm if you knew where to look. There was two things that really crushed me on this game. The first was being the main damage contributor to the enemies titan core. You could deal 99% of the damage to the core, and then die at the last second whilst your team-mate would get the achievement for simply shooting it with a pistol. I never did get that gold badge. The other issue for me was the admin abuse. I went on my old Battlefield 2142 stats after seeing your comment on a soldier that I'd decided to start a fresh on, half way through creating the soldier I figured it would be a good idea to rank via knife servers, as it gave additional points. My old machine was horrendous, I could just about go positive because of the instability on my rig, but my best mate being an IT technician hooked me up with a machine that could run the game smooth as a peach. I went 114-3 on my favorite (and the most popular) knife server, and got perm banned from it, because they couldn't take the ass whoopin'. Those two things were what made me quit that game. If it was still popular and those issues were fixed, I'd still be on it today. My only issue with modern BF games (BF1 in particular) - The knife animations take too long ;)

"what was it about BF that got lost along the way?" Console gamers and casuals. That is your answer.

[@TheBushwooky]

I think BC2 killed the series, not because it was a bad game, I loved it, but because EA saw the potential of this franchise to make serious cash. And they have done just that, at the expense of what made this game great.

[@renegadeagents]

TheBushwooky I think they went backwards with BF3 and that's the title that killed BF. BC2 had unparalleled destruction that made the game like nothing else anyone had played before. That's why it was so good. They took a lot of that out for BF3 and all we were left with was a bigger COD with some vehicles, which excited those twitch-shooter FPS players who didn't have to worry anymore about getting their favorite camping spot blown up by mortars or a tank. Which left us right back where we started.

[@TheBushwooky]

Renegade Agents That's what I meant, BC 2 was great. But after it's release they realized how much money the next game could rake in. So they wanted to shape it to attract as many people as possible, and they succeeded . Then they did the same with BF 4. And then their rushed it to compete with COD.

+DeadlySlob I was reading up all the reviews on steam.. unfortunately many were quite negative.. fortunately, I'm a knuckle head so will still buy it just to see for myself..lol.. thanks for the heads up.

[@NLPhantom97]

JoshuaX The Steam reviews for Battlefield 2 are negative because some they all bought it just before the Gamespy Arcade servers shutdown, and are now pissed off because they can't play the game online anymore. Battlefield 2 was, and still is, a great game, but since there are no multiplayer servers anymore, I would not recommend buying it. Instead, as DeadlySlob said, buy Squad instead.

[@joshuax6968]

+Selwyn van der Sluys you the man, thanks for the reply dude 👍👍

[@joshuax6968]

+Selwyn van der Sluys oh btw, they are releasing bf2 as a free dlc in bf4.. Don't know exactly when it's going to happen but I've read in the forums that it's been confirmed. Really looking forward to it since I hardly touched my bf4, bf3 was da bomb for me.

[@CauseHarm]

damn battlefield 1 just came out, and they already have a 2.

[@krashd]

I applaud this, I applaud it so others can dawnlaud it.

[@CauseHarm]

Rob Fraser thanks bro 🌊

[@unk69]

Legendary Battlefield game. Have had more fun on that game than all of the other Battlefields combined.

[@ezra.ts2627]

True the moments

[@greatsea]

If I was a billionaire I would put together a team of elite developers and recreate BF2 and BF1942 with a new engine but with a feel and gameplay dynamic that was almost exactly like that of BF2. Every single map would be exactly revisited but scaled to accommodate for advancements in detail and elaborate environments. The only thing I might change regarding the gameplay is to move it slightly more in the direction of a game like Arma III. But not much. I pretty much loved everything about BF2 just as it was. Can you imagine an El Alamein non-arcady current engine revamp with BF2 semi-Arma like gameplay and native squad VOIP? Or even some of the less popular ones like Songhua Stalemate. Also I would dial back a little (but not too much) on destructible environments of 3 and 4. That diminished gameplay a bit for me.

[@ethanvangent1394]

It seems to me that you would really like Project Reality, it is a modder's attempt to make BF2 more like arma and it has recently gone standalone (meaning you no longer need the BF2 exe to play it).

[@TampaGigWorker]

I agree. the feel of the game play and weapons was and is much better than the predecessors bf3/4. it just felt good to play bf2. cod4mw and bf2 and even BlackHawk Down were the best

[@fuckso2342]

BF2 in Battlefield 1 engine would be a dream lol.

[@greatsea]

absolutely!

[@ledavalon7118]

To be fair, I really love Battefields 3 and 4, but I think it's sad how run and gun the series has become, especially with the last two.

[@coolhunter3]

I have BF3 and enjoy it from time to time but it bothers me how many stupid systems the game has. For instance if you like sniping, if you use your scope it reflects the sun (no matter what direction the sun is) and people can see where you are. I get why it's there, because BF3+ has way more vegetation and stuff to hide in but it feels cheap.

[@miksuko]

Good old days, better new days.

[@enigmaPL]

Karkand, my trusty M95 Barret, and high ticket server..... I need nothing else. Sure, the crosshair was as thick as all the other scope sights combined, but when I hit you, your character model got impaled into the wall so hard, you felt it. :)

[@DeimosPC]

Those feels ;_; I miss those days man.

[@Linkontro]

Why not give BF2 a try again? There is a BF2 Revive project currently running, servers are full and gameplay still is the same. You neither need the old CD nor a Key, you get both via the launcher.

[@DeimosPC]

LinkoN I might do that. Espeically since my gaming rig is at work so when I'm on my home PC, I can't play much

[@TheCinnamonstix]

BF2 Special Forces was pretty amazing too.. breaching homes with night vision or grapple hooking onto buildings to lay down fire.. oh man the days..

[@wetlettuce4768]

The L96 was my sniper rifle of choice.

[@wildkev1010]

Man this game was groundbreaking. So much fun. This is the game that got me into PC

[@TobeasJ]

There is something about how the bodies slightly flipped up when shot dead that is so nostalgic for me in BF2.

[@mongee3614]

This game gave birth to project reality. Which is the older and more serious brother of BF2

[@despeckt]

which gave birth to Squad, same developers of pr

[@pd5156]

Long live PR!

[@doghous3]

Shame squad feels like it lost the soul of PR, though. Still a blast, mind.

[@haijin7484]

PR was the shit dude even sometimes I still play the game and the severs are still up, hoping Squad will step their game up. Squad is great I’m not gonna lie it’s not like other games like BF4 COD any of those fast phase fps games. What made me fall in love PR and Squad is teamwork.

[@NordicGameplays]

It's so sad what the gaming industry have become, money hoers all over.

[@StixSouls]

I started playing battlefield 2 when I use to watch my dad play it and I got interested this was the game that basically started my love for FPS and video games time has flown so by.

[@WickedWonderCrew]

Exactly the same, I remember how much faster I got better than him and it definitely made me be the fps player I am today.

[@tkellaway]

Enemy boat spotted

[@patrikb2068]

My grandmother could do better!

[@RobbyIrza33]

ENEMY JET SPOTTED *map is on karkand*

[@guardiadecivil6777]

Ah the good old days where your new and you dont know how to switch seats then the pilot bailed out the helicopter..

[@brictit]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I cant tell you how many helicopters i've watched down as people jump from it too late because of that exact reason. The JOY. Can't say I wasn't a victim of it myself. Wondering why is the pilot aiming me towards the sky as we topple over into a tree, etc.

[@Magved]

We are losing this battle, start fighting or i'll find someone who can

[@armymanscott]

battlefield 1942 will always be my favourite

[@M_Carter_]

man, anyone who seriously thought bad company 2 was the pinnacle of the series clearly hasn't played many of the BF games at their peak

[@lordicarus8807]

BF2, Vietnam, 1942 and Star Wars Battlefront all had this huge battle feel to them. And, honestly, I'll take that fun on huge maps with tons of players and vehicles ranging from scooters up to battleships over any modern graphics any day...
