There's still tons of people playing it. I would too, but my profile score isn't updating anymore, so I kind of quit. I was about to unlock the new sniper rifle as well :cry:.

The stats servers are fixed up now. And anyone who was active during the stat problems was given 2000 points and a Gold Star.

:Edit: And yes to the question. Thousands upon thousands of people still play Battlefield 2 daily. I just got off of a server an hour ago to take a break. And I would never leave BF2 for WoW. Thats just a disgusting thought.

I still play it when I have the time. I just got a joystick, since my brother took his when he moved, so I'm going to get back into it as a pilot and everything. BF2 is a great game but I'm probably going to start playing BF2142 also with some friends and my physics teacher hahaha.

I moved over to 2142. Both games have decent communities. Get the Deluxe edtion of BF2 so you get the expansion, which is... well, lively enough.

My biggest issue right now is parachuting. It says to push 9 to use it, but I do that and Istill manage tofall to my death. What gives? I mean I love falling 2 thousand feet to my death and all, but one of these times, living would be cool. :P

Push 9 once you will hear it deploy "swoosh" if you push 9 more than once it will un-deploy and you will leave a nice hole in the ground, A nice "trick" is to free-fall til u get right near ground level, then press 9 and bada bing, u are landed safe and sound. a lot of players WILL shoot you while you are in the chute!

People won't stop playing BF2 until the next Battlefield is released. Even then I doubt it. Plenty of people are still playing BF1942.

I never managed to "un-deploy" my parachute. I have the parachute key binded to the "C", and when I want to open it, I go like C C C C C C C C C C until I hear the swosh. But the chute never closed by pressing C after it is open.

And opening the chute near ground level is a great tactic (this is called HALO jump in real life, High Altitude-Low Opening). You're a sitting duck if you open it at high altitudes.

Yeah but the game is totally unbalanced if you don't buy all of the expansions. By buying the expansions you unlock weapons you can take with you back into the regular game.

I quit playing BF2 because everyone had better weapons than me and it's not a good enough game to expand...at least if you have to pay for it...

The only weapon worth it in the expansion is the L9AIsomething sniper rifle. The best gun for me is the G3...which you can unlock by playing for 30mins...since when you rank up you can pick any weapon, there's no "lvl 1, lvl 2, lvl 3" guns. So you couldn't even play for 30mins to get a weapon....? It's not like you need 10 ranks to get 20 unlocks becaue you'll only be using one gun....

8) yup of course there are, and the few running are private servers and privately owned servers that public can use. A bit of admin abuse in some servers but people still play it. Anyways last time i played the rank systems were down and had to go to all weapons server. Game is very fun do.

It's the L96A1 and I only play a sniper so...yeah...

The KVD is total crap, the Light 50 is HORRIBLY inaccurate (can't "snipe" with it) so the only usuable sniper rifle for MEC or PLA is the L96A1...I'm not going to buy $50 worth of expansions for one gun no matter how good the gun is.

A lot of people, myself not included, actually prefer the Type 88 semi auto style sniper because with how fast paced sniping can be in many of the games situations (diving and shooting at moving targets), 2 or 3 shots with that gun will get a kill faster than an L9 with 2 shots and a reload in between. Or you could be patient and aim for the head. And the m95 sucks by the way.

I beg to differ, I can press 9 the chute will open, I can press 9 again and the chute will close I have done it MANY times.
