Hey guys, I see that Battlefield 2 is on sale today, I've always been meaning to buy it, and it seems now is a good time.

Is the community dead? Will I still be able to find some full games? If it's dead, I don't think I really want to buy a game where theres 4 players in each game..

Thanks for the help.

I am also interested in this BF2 deal since I own the original BF2, but I would really like to try the expansions and for $5, it seems hard to pass up.

I already spent a lot of money, so would I like this game if I liked Bad Company 1 & 2? I know they're probably completely different but whatever.

Probably so, it's more like Saving Private Ryan than Apocalypse Now, but the basic mechanics are the same.

Community is still very active.

Also, I'd say this game is wildly different than the BCs. Check out gameplay videos and make a judgement for yourself.

Not a fan of the community but it's active. I really have a problem with the horrid hit detection, nade spam, and overpowered jets.

I think you can say that the Bad Company games focus on infantry combat while Battlefield 2 and it's predecessors are more about fighting with vehicles.

Hmm, BF2 still has alot of servers, and it is very very different from BF:BC2.

The maps are way bigger, and allows for more tactical approaches, there is not just one or two chokepoints, there are ALOT.

Vehicles are very different, learnign to fly a chopper of a jet is quite a bit different from BC2, but if you get good with them they are FAR better and more logical then the heavy, slow and halfway useless BC2 choppers (and if you find them useful in BC2, you will get blown away by the BF2 ones).

There are more emphathis on tamwork, since classes only have 1 area they excell in, so you can not pick any class that can go up against anything, they will die on thier own, (unless they are stealthy and patient).

BF2 has a commander, who can give orders to squad leaders, making BF2 overall less chaotic, and far more about getting the bigger picture of the battlefield. He calls down mortarstrikes, resupply crates, light vehicles and UACs where he sees fit, or where they are requested.

it takes a load off the average grunt, but also strips you of things you might be accustomed to in BC2.

But it REally is far bigger battles in BF2, a huge tank battle can easily have 10+ tanks batteling it out in some hills, with jets and attack choppers making flybys, you will feel really small as one little soldier in such a scenario, but it is awesome to get on your feel after marking a target as a sniper, and see 2 jets fly nomore then 2 meters over your head as they head out to bomb the marked location.

On the other side of the coin, it is a old game, and sometimes you can both see and feel the age beginnign to creep up, it is not gamebreaking, but it is differnt.
