battlefield 2

It's a great game but I imagine by now it must be showing its age.

Great fun if you can get a few mates together, otherwise you're likely to just get frustrated as getting totally smashed by the hardcore veterans :p

bfp4f is quite similar to it and the multiplayer is almost as good.

^ This.

I played through the BETA. It looks like BF2 and uses the same engine. Plays quite similar but I didn't like the face you had to buy weapons with in-game or real world currency.
 
I find it a good game - and it feels more gritty and realistic compared to COD. You die much much MUCH more easily in BF2.

I also find that it gives a bit more freedom than COD. Although youre funneled thru an invisible corridor just like in COD the corridors in BF2 I feel are a lot wider.
 
for the small price of the proper BF2, it might be worth just getting that instead of buying ingame weapons? im not 100% sure how the weapons thign works however so i may be wrong
 
I've been playing it a bit recently, and considering how old a game it is, the graphics are surprisingly good on full.....

I said that up to the point I loaded BC2 and makes you realise how much games have come on!
 
Play battle field play for free its a updated version of it

edit sorry been said four times lol im on my phone.

Only problem with the play for free version is its a beta and not finished by any means. Once you get to level 20 you get board because its the highest rank at the moment.

Play for free is absolute travesty of a game and nothing like BF2, it has worse GFX and animation, only 32 players, you can't change your class in a round, everything is dumbed down, it's awful, play it and you will see.

As for BF2 loads still play and it's still a great experience 6 years on from release, it has depth and teamplay that BC2 can only dream of.

I loved BF2, still do. Havent played it for a while but its so much fun, I must have played the Gulf of Oman multiplayer map more times than Ive eaten hot dinners. A must buy.

I actually prefer BF2 over Bad Company 2.
 
BF2 is definitely still worth it!

Check BF2 Steam mod support as there were a couple of issues with Project Reality.
 
Don't go for that play for free rubbish, by the real game for a couple of quid and enjoy the thousands of hours of entertainment it can provide.
 
I ran a multiplay bf2 server with some mates for a few months back in 06 and it was great, totally loved it. There were a lot of idiots though which spoiled it at times. Spent too much time dishing out bans... I don't play online anymore but still like to go against bots for some fun. Yes dated graphics but excellent control system that seems so natural. not really got into bc2 yet.
 
Provided you find a server that isn't full of griefers\teamkilling morons, it's a decent game.

There are a few issues that rear their ugly heads occasionally (enemy players showing up as blue, and the lack of man-portable AA missiles leading to aircraft raping the map).

Load times are very long with Project Reality installed, so be aware of that if you have less than 4GB RAM. Toning down the settings helps somewhat.
