    I got battlefield 2 about 5 months ago because it was on sale....
    I have no other expansions for it, but is there still people online who i could play against?

    Ive seen this project reality mod thing, maybe i could try that mod because it doesnt seem to require anything but the original game. Anyone know anything about it?

    If you don't mind getting destroyed by the super dedicated fan base who have mastered the game a la crazy Quake III Arena fans, then sure, go for it.  The game's still beyond awesome.

    Game also has weapon unlocks that last I played took a VERY long time to unlock, so there will be lots of people owning you with weapons way better than what you have.

    Not that long anymore.  A couple of patches from a while back lowered the hell out of the points required to unlock everything.

    Personally, I prefer 2142, but BF2 is still pretty fucking sweet.  Yes, the fanbase is super dedicated, and you usually won't find a match outside of Strike at Karkand...but that's because Strike at Karkand is one of the 5 best multiplayer maps ever created!!!

    Just know this:  there is a LOT of 'nades spamming and noob tubing nowadays, so hopefully you know how to avoid explosives.  Oh, and also watch out for the gaymores.

    Well i bought the game and never actually played it so is orta gotta try at least.
     Also project reality has helicoptor insertions. That should be a game in and of itself, seriously a game where you just get in and out of helicopters sounds sweet to me... check it out on youtube if you dont already know about

    I wonder how ridiculously owned I would be trying to fly a helicopter in BF2 now. I managed to be a very good pilot for a while, but last I played people seemed to have gotten really good with TV guided and wire-guided missiles. I'm afraid they're cyborg-like at this point.

    I did manage to unlock every gun but the multi-peashooter 7 and spam-90 when I was playing.

    BF 1943 is going to be entirely the opposite, and maybe not a good thing.

    I was addicted to that game.  It's so much fun still.  I stand by my belief that the M16 is the best weapon in that game.

    I remembered how different Battlefield is from Call of Duty so maybe the transition wont be so easy. Should be fun though

    Yeah it's definitely still fun to play but sometimes you run across those players that can own everyone with a jet

    Totally worth playing. I still play it and I think it is still one of the best online first person shooters that exists. There is still a lot of people who play in it and I don't have the expansions. The mods seem to be cool, I haven't tried any of those.
