BF 2 if you want modern combat, bf2142 if you want futuristic combat.

With that said, 2142 has some stuff that are better then bf 2, the titan mode is a great new game-mode, and the ranking system is much better and humane then bf2's ranking system.

Yes the ranking in BF2 is terrible. It takes forever to get unlocks and the jets are too powerful. Those are the two things I didn't like about BF2 but they were fixed in 2142.

It's my favorite of all the Battlefields (my favorite of all multiplayer game, actually), so yes, I would say it is worth it.

BF2 has tons of players and around 800 servers with all filters on (except for like some stupid ones like battle recorder), but the expansions are pretty much dead.

Here's a chart by Gamespy (realtime?) that shows the number of servers and players in today's online FPS titles.

Titan mode made it for me. I sold Cod4, dumped ut3 and css and went back to bf2142. Yes TC, more people play BF2 so if you want to have more servers to choose from go with that one, even though with your ping you can only really play on about 10+ anyway...............

The combat in 2142 is a bit more fast paced, with actual players shooting at you, AI controlled turrets set up by players shooting at you and people drop-podding all over the place when you are defending a flag/silo/chicken/whatever.

That said B2 is more balanced between the "classes", each has a roughly equal amount of use, 2142 however has an engineer that has a machine gun of decent power, a rocket launcher, the mandatory repairing tool that all engineers in the Battlefield series have and with one upgrade point they get landmines that will rise up from the ground if an enemy vehicle approaches and fly at the vehicle(it takes 2-3 to kill a tank, engineers spawn with 5 in stock)
