So apparently a bunch of us play it, my question to you all is what servers do you use? I don't really have any favorites yet, just go with lower pings and high number of players. My other question, as I haven't really looked into it as I was so pissed off that my stats didn't update for so long, are there any community made maps like there were for Call of Duty?

Spc/KORT BF2 server 64.69.45.207:16567
I don't think there are any custom maps yet, at least not on ranked servers. If you get the expansion there are, i think 6, new maps.

I haven't heard of any custom maps. I wish they'd release more official ones; for some reason, the only ones I really like playing are the Arab city maps, so that's like... 4?
If you buy the Special Forces expansion (~$35 I think) you get a few more maps, some different weapons, maybe some different classes, and I think you get a couple weapon unlocks. I haven't gotten to that point yet.
I've gone looking for info on this kind of thing and have been faced with the inescapable conclusion that just about everyone who plays BF2 and posts to BF2 forums are mouth-breathing infants.
BF2 needs a Friends system like the one Steam has -- only working.
As for servers, I just pick one with low ping, good map, and players who aren't all obviously going to make me curse more than usual by virtue of kicking my ass within seconds of spawn. I briefly considered running a BF2 server on the LS machine, but after finding out what EA Games charges to rent a server, I've come to suspect it's not something I want eating up resources that could be better used serving web pages to miscreants.
I do have a couple "favorite" servers that have good map rotations. Next time I reboot into Windows, I'll post them here. In the meantime, enjoy my LAL.

I have found the short-term answer and I hate to even mention it really...
GameSpy Arcade
It has a very nice and fast server browser (which beats the fuck outta the in-game one). It also has a buddy list that allows you to see where and what your buddies are playing. I used it years ago before steam came out to play counter-strike 1.6 online.
If you want to add me to your buddy list in GameSpy, search for me by email: seth AT sunflower DOT com

I may have suicided twice, so something else is being counted as a suicide. I've no idea what, unless they count me blowing myself up with claymores like an idiot. The stats they collect for you are retardedly impressive though.

On this holmes. The in-game browser is slow and much buggy.

I don`t know if you have ever seen this,but here goes anyway.
Description:
***NOTE: THESE MAPS WILL NOT WORK IN SINGLE PLAYER GAMES***
After a lot of work and some stressful testing we the TotalBF2 Map Team put together this mappack for the public to have. We will be hosting a TotalBF2 Custom Map server which you can play these maps at. The IP is 63.246.166.162:16567. Hope you will come join us to play these maps. Now for the maps that are in the pack.
Wake Island
Wake Island was an original Battlefield 1942 Map. In Wake Island for BF2 you will feel like your immersed in a battle of strength and wits as you try to either attack or defend the island. Also you will find that the US is defending the Island and that the mighty Chinese Empire has come to claim it for their own. Try your hardest soldier and make us proud.
Created By: -R|F-Glitch
King of the Hill
In the map King of the Hill, no matter what version you play; 16, 32, or 64-person version, you will find yourself reaching for the top. That is the top of the mountain. The fight will be extreme at the least when both teams the US and the MEC fight their hearts out to own and be claimed… The King of the Hill.
Created By: CrimsonBlaze
Mekong River
Mekong River is located in the heart of the jungle. Here you will find Jungle warfare like no other. Mekong Rivers lush forest and over abundant undergrowth makes for the most deadly silent assault known to man. Your team best be good at being silent and see brush move because this map is a killer.
Created By: AlphaMRE
Attack at Taiming
The city of Taiming is located on an island in the middle of the ocean. On this island you will find your self immerse in the Chinese type landscape fighting your hardest to maintain the balance in the well built city. The alley ways will make your blood boil waiting for someone to jump around the corner and open a volley of bullets in your direction.
Created By: -R|F-Glitch
Uluwatu City
In Uluwatu City you will find yourself fighting in the backyard of a Chinese Sanctuary. While the Ancient Chinese Sanctuary is located on an island your attack will be focused on the defensive bases on the main land. You will find yourself dodge behind trees and driving your Jeeps through the grass as you advance your position to the center or defend your frontal outpost.
Created By: Spitfire
Smyrna
Now Smyrna is a map that you will find yourself locked within the city surrounded by mountains on every side. Locked in for a battle beyond any other. With the dense amount of fog and high detailed city, you will be shocked when the enemy runs out of the fog blazing their guns, but to your advantage there are so many objects to hide behind. Find yourself a spot and get ready to fight in one of the most intense city warfare battles ever.

I don't have the direct link but one of the guys in our clan posted this today...looks like new maps are on the way.
Battlefield 2 Booster Packs and Patch Update
Community Bulletin – January 11, 2005
Hello everyone and a Happy New Year to all of you.
Today we have some big announcements that we’re excited to share with you! First of all, news about 2 new booster packs that will expand the battlefields of Battlefield 2: Battlefield 2: Euro Force and Battlefield 2: Armored Fury.
Euro Force will be released on February 8th and sees the introduction of the all-new European Army in 3 new maps. Each Euro soldier will come equipped with a new primary weapon, from the FNP90 to the Benelli Tactical Shotgun. There will also be 4 new vehicles, including the (in)famous Eurofighter.
The 3 maps are "Operation Smoke Screen", "The Great Wall of China and "Taraba Quarry".
Armored Fury will be released on March 28th and the focus is on large mechanized battles, harking back to the El Alamein style maps on BF1942. There will be 3 new maps – "Midnight Sun", "Operation Harvest" and "Operation Road Rage" – but also 2 new vehicle classes. Attack Jets and Recon Helicopters, which can spot nearby enemy units, will make their debut.
Both packs will be available exclusively online at www.downloader.ea.com.
As well as these booster packs, we are of course still utterly devoted to providing updates to Battlefield 2. We can’t say it enough; thank you all for your support and dedication! Update 1.2 is currently undergoing public beta testing and will be released very soon. As with the first list, this second list includes confirmed fixes only:
- Server search filters now work properly
- All mines (Claymore, Anti-vehicle, C4) can now be picked up by the same class that dropped it by using the "G" key.
- Mines can no longer be destroyed with other explosives
- Flash bang effect radius decreased
- Added unlocks for Sniper and AT kits
- Fixed a bug in terrain rendering with night vision, whereby terrain was still dark in dark areas.
- Fixed a bug whereby mods that are not bf2 or not xpack permutate shaders every time a level is loaded.
- Fixed a bug whereby non-xpack mods cannot use xpack shaders.
- Fixed bug in TV guided missiles of Havoc helicopter
- Bug in MP7 fire rate fixed. Ammo count increased and mag count and damage decreased
- APC Update – "Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials". This fix was a miscommunication to the patch team. Chinese and MEC APC’s have been reverted and the LAV25 now no longer shoots through penetrable materials.
- Vehicles no longer disappear when viewed from some vehicles with a HUD (e.g. Tanks).
- Performance gain found in static mesh rendering.
- Detonation radius from grenade launcher explosions has been reduced.
- Grenade launcher projectiles now have a minimum time before arming.
This is a list of confirmed fixes only – we are still looking at others that we hope to be able to announce soon. As always, thanks for your support and keep talking – we’re listening.

Like everyone else I like low pings and being in Australia Punk Buster has booted me for my slow US connection (and also teamkilling). For any Australians you can find me on one of the internode servers playing bf1942 maps like wake island using the name: "DaHoodedNinja3"

If I'm in a game I go with Stump654 for my player name, give a shout for me, although I think I either have my headset plugged in wrong or it's busted. I'll make note of the IPs here and possibly throw gamespy on, although however buggy the ingame browser may be will gamespy at least load the maps a little faster? |

Again, I can't believe I care.

check out this karkland exploit:
http://www.dubbls.com/Videos/karkand_exploit_howto.wmv
i saw a video of some dudes beta testing the 1.2 update. looks like they eliminated some of the gayer things people were doing, such as JUMPPRONECROUCH when being fired upon - apparently doing that in a rapid order makes you almost "unhittable" (is that a word?).

Here's what is supposed to be changed for the 1.2 patch.
Here's a link to the vid that shows the main changes, have to log into file planet though.
Here's the vid and screens of the new sniper and AT unlocks.
Here's video of the UAV flying, supposed to be able to shoot it down now too.

http://www.filecloud.com/files/file.php?user_file_id=98609
Is there another repository for these, one without the artificial wait delay?

What specs are you running it on? I need to know what I gotta buy. |

AMD 3200+, 1Gb PC3200 RAM, Geforce 6800 GS. I tried the game with all settings maxed out, and it was a little prettier, but not much, and definitely not worth the performance hit. I crank everything down to low on high resolution to sacrifice a bit of prettiness in favor of gameplay.
Haven't checked FPS yet on either setting but I keep meaning to.
Also, those BF2 sigs we're using above? They're not updating.

I'm running a 2.8Ghz P4 with 1G PC3200 (bought the extra 512 just for this) and an old Radeon 9700(originally bought it when it came out in 2000 I think). I have most of my stuff set to medium, 2x anti-aliasing, and upped the distance thingy to highest (makes for better sniping) @ 1024 resolution. Don't know about FPS either, but the only thing I have a problem with is the whole "Map loaded, verifying client data." (I may have to make something like that my signature) |
