This is the best Battlefield. They should just redo this and make more maps. Don't change anything else. No BF has come close to the action and fun this game gave us all.
bf1 was pretty fun with my boys on launch - but yeah bf2 gave us sdk & tons of mods / total conversions - i played in a mil sim group that made their own tc (total conversion or mod) then their own maps for tourney rounds on saturdays with weeklong tactical training within your command structure - fun times! 👨🏻✈✈
@@user-dj9iu2et3r fs good times! hell let loose kinda comes close to talk that with the command structure & tourney play that server clans organize lots of fun too!
It built on the great OG, Bf1942. Bf2 was not a bad game and added good stuff like the comrose, but it did also start to add a lot of unnecessary bits, like ribbon pop-ups, which would be better left at after combat screen. I also hate seeing points and skulls in the newer games that try to drug you with rewards instead of immersive gameplay. Too much information, like seeing enemies on minimap - constantly watching it takes you out of the IG world. Spotting would've been better as a range on the compass. And it started the focus on static squads, when I think they should've focused on team & classes which makes people bungle in natural squads/waves. To be fair, it's also the game with the most classes so it did mostly good there. The most irritating with this squad focus is that they made squads a spawn place that every Bf has continued. It disrupts the game when people can sneak through and pop up from nowhere, and also it removes a lot of value from the medic. Why did they not go for transport-spawn-vehicles at least?
I remember watching my dad play this when I was a kid. He was so good and used to just destroy in every game. Every now and then he would let me play and I would just die over and over. Good memories
Your videos are a breath of fresh air mate, especially when every other creator spams Bf2042 and warzone infinitely. Have you thought of doing single player walk through of some classic games? That's certainly something I'd watch. It might help grow your channel.

I learned to fly a helicopter in BF2. When I decided to take lessons for real I could pretty much fly the real bird. My instructor was amazed. I think it took me only 4-5 hours of practice in the real thing to get comfortable in it. BF2 saved me about $4k in training for my rotorcraft rating.
@@Viljarms The modern playerbase they've cultivated doesn't care about that stuff. It's why most gameplay videos of modern BF games are always one guy running around kill-streaking like it's a CoD game. They dumbed down the franchise to appeal to a wider audience and it worked, but at the expensive of losing a truly unique franchise that perfectly struck a balance between arcade and milsim.
@@joki5536 Baffles me to this day, that they had a golden goose on their hands and then they just decided to chop his head of. Could've easily created another game for wider audience and kept developing bf2... but no. EA is truly the epitome of degenerate management.
Played this so much. And DotA. Something happened over the past 20 years with the people playing online. Friendly teamwork is mostly extinct. It's probably too complex for a simple explanation, but for us in Europe, Russia getting internet was not good for teamwork. I feel blessed I got to experience this era with my friends.
It's the way the games are designed and naturally condition you to play. They don't make them like this anymore, even Battlefield has turned to CoD style run and gun instant action even on the large maps. It's all about engagement because they don't believe a large enough audience will play a game with the pace of Battlefield 2. Money money money.
My favourite multiplayer military FPS after Delta Force 2 based on gameplay not graphics This game was released in 2005 so its really old but the MP gameplay is far more enjoyable that all the other BF games combined
@@JT-466 I also enjoyed 2142 BF MP I always played BF2 demo at the cobragaming servers. It was sooo much fun. Then after gamespy shut down I returned after a year and played the full game but then they killed it of again. The problem with BF developers is that they thing their new games are good but their new games are very bad. It all started from BF4 when they started copying call of duty style games. Today their games are a total disaster. Battlefield 2 multiplayer were the good times. I also tried to buy 2042 and it was a complete nightmare so I refunded the game. The next game I'm planning to try out is Squad because it looks like a polished version of BF2
I've played every Battlefield to varying degrees and BF2 is by far my all time favourite. As someone already said, it's the perfect mix between mil sim and arcade game. You could still be sneaky and tactical with the way you moved around the map on this game. No 3d spotting system, actual wide flanks and space between flags you could use to your advantage, no scope glare on the snipers so you could actually be more tactical in your repositioning etc. 2142 right after I also loved, and BF3 though had a few things I didn't like compared to 2, was still an amazing game. BFV and especially BF2042 have been immense downward trends and since the old DICE team have left, and the franchise is now in the hands of an ex CoD lead dev, it's looking doomed for the franchise sadly. Each game will bring out more aggressive microtransactions and skins for characters and weapons that do not fit the tone of a military game. CoD 2.0 in the next couple of titles mark my words.
Honestly so glad i got to experience bf2, i was born in 2007 but god am i lucky to have played bf2 even tho it was against AI i loved every single moment of it
Air gameplay on max graphics at 100+ fps was the peak of gaming for me as a kid. Seeing the water shimmer in the distance. Hope people are still playing this masterpiece. Even though the graphics are dated, theyre the best dated graphics of any game. They still hold up.
Thanks for this video man. I still play it from time to time but the last game was more than 2 years ago. You might give me the need to install it once again :)
There was a bootleg version of this on all the computers in my highschool. Some of my favorite memories were playing TDM while the Comp Science teacher just sat at her desk ignoring us xD
I played this over 10 years stopped playing for 3 years and I started playing again. It's the best multiplayer game there is. I'm so good with jet it's ridiculous. The new battlefield games disappointed me every time. Not this game.
I quit a year ago! The cheating was terrible! When i quit, over 50% were cheating! And i mostly played on 2F4Y. Sight, i miss this game, but the cheating riuned it!!! : (
@@hotel3667 Dude it's not cheating. People played this over 15 years and they got that good if not better. I am pro level. You try noob shit I will own you. :D
I didn’t have Internet that was strong enough to game online until like five years ago and somehow I ended up buying Battlefield two and I could only play the single player skirmish on the Tiny map not even the 64 player map. Good times did it for 10 years straight😂

Battlefield 2 provided some good times back in the days.
to this day its still a superior battlefiel game
back when battlefield actually felt like a field of battle and not like call of duty massacre with a big map
For me it's the perfect balance between a milsim and an arcadey shootout

This and UT2004 were my life.
At their core, BF2 and 2142 are still the best Battlefield games.
The relationship between the commander the squads is the aspect I miss the most.
Try enlisted

a battlefield that encourages teamwork and strategy and each role is needed to succeed that sounds fun
