Battlefield 2 - Do people play the exapnsion pack?

z0mbi3 · 23 May 2008 at 09:50

I was looking at the gamespy stats earlier and noticed loads of people are still playing BF2. It's been a year since I played and I'm craving that sort of gameplay.

So my question is are people just playing the vanilla version or are they playing the expansion pack as well?

Also are there any textures mods or tweaks to get the game looking a bit better, it's over 2 years old now.

Thanks in advance.

I played BF2 for quite a while from release of vanilla and way past that of the expansion.

In my eyes the expansion never really took off which is a shame because the maps were decent and offered some variation in gameplay (unlike Karkand 24/7!).

I chalked it up to people set in their ways not wanting to learn new things.

There are still plenty of Special forces servers going and i can get a game on these 24/7.

Euro forces is a pile of Poo and just plain boring

Armoured fury is the best of the lot , very underated maps , you will find servers but they are mainly States side .

Bets i can get it looking is to force the res in the target folder of your desktop icon and force 16xaa thorught the nvidia control panel ,,

Hmm. I've just seem that Bf 3 is due out this year. Doesn't seem worth picking BF2 up again now...

Stll loads playing BF2 even though with all the stats hacking going on ... speaking of which I see someone has hacked the worlds top players accounts ... UK number 1 and German number 1 (he is second in world) both got same worst enemy ... EA_Accounts_Suck and both 50 deaths .... hope EA sort something out for BF3 at least !

Still over 500 servers up with large map,ranked, punkbuster enabled settings. BF2 won't die till BF3 comes out.

If you mean the Special Forces, I play it quite a lot now. It's a shame that there aren't many servers running it though

Bf2 = initially very good then turned into turd

SF = Just plain turd, performance was lacking as well for some reason despite it looking the same as standard bf2.

i still use it as well as the expansion maps when they show up on the server's

BF2 = DICE Sweden

SF = DICE Canada, those same fine people who brought us the turd more commonly known as BF:Vietnam.

I played BF2 for many, many hours but just got bored with it.

Have both SF and AF but haven't played AF again yet, had to get an old version of the EA download programme to even download the AF add-on in the first place - the new one was wanting me to pay for it again!
