I remember when my mom bought me the game because she had to travel to a different country to not be sad that she has to leave and I was at home alone with my dad and played that game for so many hours a day. Damn that is already so many years ago, I/we were so much younger back then with no thoughts about tomorrow. I wish I could relive that moment again.

I remember staying in the menu just to listen to this, I dunno, it has this tactic and cool feeling to it (one could say, 'tacticool' lol ok don't kill me pls).
This game would still be dominating the gaming culture if GameSpy didnt sell us all out. I can remember 10,000 plus servers on the list, literally scolling down trying to find one that wasnt full.
gamespy literally fucked everything. its insane. be cool if ea didnt try to crack down on revive though, theyll do anything to stop people from playing one of their good games.
@@poorman9259 BF2hub is still standing strong though. I was skeptical at first after Revive's shutdown, but there's still a full server where people play. Feels good to relive the old days.
Only people who experience this masterpiece could live to tell the tale. Nothing EA made after this came close to this finesse war game. I was there when they shut it down and i remember fairly well hitting blue pearl infantry only everyday until that faithful day. I bought Bad Company 2 afterward. It was decent. But then i just couldn't buy any others. Run and gun was far from what i wanted for BF. Cheaters wasn't a nightmare like it is today too. You could actually have fun even if you weren't a mad skills master. Now it just so ridiculous how fast pace it is. Might say a lot about us people. Our brain is harder and harder to captivate... Really sad to see.
I still play with bots. They told mw to download project reality and i did but it nothing like bf2. It's main goal was realism and i did not want that.
Same, I remember when the 1.5 patch made BF a much better game than it was in the past. The two expansions I didn't own were now available and spread on almost every server. It was almost an enlightenment period, but too little too late. BF2 will always hold a special place in my heart. It truly was the EA response to modern warfare and it's unfortunate a lot of other people didn't experience it and the mods for it.
@@iceman-117 meanwhile i found out yesterday that the recon guy, Tony Schnur from battlefield friend's died a week ago from cancer... anyways I'll check it out since punkbuster has banned me for life from bf3 and bf4 a few ago for no reason (the only time i ever cheated in a game was in black ops zombies via cheat engine when i was 11).
I was too young to remember 9/11 but growing up while Iraq was all over the news I distinctly remember thinking the MEC in this game actually was Iraq, and of course living in a NATO country I tried very hard to be on the US side in every game I played. Good times
Over time i grew to hate this thrme and muted the music because i grew up on slow internet and this was the repeated sound of a disconnect, failure to connect, or any random error kicking me to screen over and over
Best theme for Bf. Hate me all you want guys but I honestly like this theme more than 1942's and all those other ones. Don't get me wrong, they were good. But I like this one better.
You can hear the massive attack trip-hop influence on this, the bassline from Dissolved Girl especially. Damn, couple of tracks in this game are far better than you'd expect from a modern military multiplayer fps, that goes for the MEC and China themes as well. Very nostalgic, excellent. Shame for the rest of the series.
Battlefield 2 has highest metacritic score in Battlefield series so it is still best Battlefield game ever. Also, people still play online with BF2Hub. (~300 online players in serverbrowser)
BF2 is a perfect example of how gorgeous a game's graphics doesn't make it more perfect. BF2 has already become a relic, but it was more fun than any other recent Battlefield series. I miss this game so much.
Honestly, back when this game came out it looked pretty solid. I remember mowing lawns during the summer saving up money for a new graphics card just to boot the game haha
battlefield 2 had real military culture in it... battlefield 3 and 4 lacked that. they are coming back around with battlefield 1 but nothing tops BF2 and BFBC2
No, it came back with SQUAD, the true successor to Battlefield 2 because it was born out of its DNA, SQUAD was created by the same team that did Project Reality mod for BF2
It's the old games that get us to cry. Battlefield 2 Minecraft (the old days) To much nostalgia, i wish i was 8 years old again, playing on my dads computer, playing minecraft, roblox, battlefield 2. I cry everytime.

I loved playing special forces and playing surge so much nostalgia and who can forget when u accidentally hit the escape button and go to menu man Beautiful times 😢
I was like 11 years old when I got this game along with gta San Andreas (my first two pc games). Unfortunately, my pc couldn’t run this game, so I missed on this childhood memories :(
they would probably ruin it, and even if they made it faithful to the original new players wouldnt be able to play it. I think its to slow paced for newer gamers, they would just run around hunting kills and not teamplaying.
I remember, it was 2013, I first downloaded Bf2 demo on my old 90s pc, my heart exploded with joy when it loaded, it was filled with haze outside my house since Indonesia was busy burning some forrest down (I was in Malaysia). I just finished my homework and my mom allowed me to play for an hour, it was the best memories ever tbh since my crappy pc cant play Battlefield Play4Free, Bf2 demo is my only go to
BF2, BF2142 and bad company 2 were the last true battlefield games. Everything since has been arcadey COD-clones that completely fail to capture that super engrossing tug-of-war between frontlines that shifted back and forth. Now you can just load up battlefield, spawn just about anywhere with the braindead squad system and pretend you're playing call of duty. There's no strategy, no opportunity to cordinate a game-changing sneak attack with your squad, no real sense of teamwork. I'll never forget battlefield at its absolute prime.
Eventhough i was waaay too young when this came out, i'm really happy having experienced the bf2 multiplayer n it's golden days...when everybody was hyped about BF3 i was having a blast on Gulf of Oman capturing and calling arty strikes😂
