Anyone still play Battlefield 2 or BF2142?

[DubberGti]

As much as I like the silkiness of the new generation FPS games I still find myself playing BF2 and BF2142. Anyone else still play?

[ShadownINja]

Yep, BF2 on Jolt 4 server, Bouncyhippo.

I'm usually near the bottom of the score table.

Big on squad/team work and use of teamspeak so if you are into that, pester me in-game.

[DubberGti]

I started off playing 2142 then discovered BF2, so I've all unlocks etc for 2142 but still a newbie on BF2 so I'm trying to get more hours in on it.

My name for both is wils0n9870and I always squad up & use teamspeak.

Will add you later

Oh I am very tempted to get back into this with a decent Teamspeak crew


I will have to load it and remember what my name is

Still have BF2 on my PC here, but not played it for a while.

BF2 with Special Forces, Allied Intent, Mercenaries and the excellent Nations at War mods.

Play 2142 regularly ("Loconinja").

Tried BF2, but got flamed on the first server I joined because it was "no vehicles" and I jumped in a tank. Sort of put me off a bit. :P

Why did they still have a tank?? I've played infantry only servers and there are no vehicles which can be a real pain when they don't think about it and have a huge map.

Get it done!! I feel a PH Battlefield night is due.

Bloody hell, I still fire up BF 1942 on my laptop if nothing else is going on.

How do I play BF2 without Gamespy?

When I try to join a multiplayer game I get asked to sign in, but I would rather have a list of servers that I can just join.

Presumably not using Gamespy to join this game is legal as well?

Thanks

[DubberGti]

I didn't install the Gamespy part of it, never use it. Just created an EA Master account then play on multiplayer servers.

Ok, thanks. For some reason I thought the sign up was for Gamespy too.

Anyone who plays BF2, email me with your MSN and I'll add you then we can arrange times. I normally play 11pm to 1am.

Used to play a lot but have found of late that it's getting very hit and miss on the servers. Some are great but others are a joke. Two real gripes that I have with it that have never been addressed are bunny hoppers - it's not an Unreal Tournament Frag match ffs! - and the scoring system which isn't weighted towards your team actually winning. I'd like to see double points awarded if your team wins - would encourage much better team play rather than people just racking up points to the detriment of the game (like everyone spawning on the carrier/airfield just so they can get a plane).

Still enjoy playing sniper and going hunting though

I still play BF2 - have been playing COD5 but got a bit bored of it and went back to BF2.

Another session helping spotty youths and single men to feel good about themselves by being a sitting duck as my computer lags to death. GP30/M203 FTW!

[S3_Graham]

Should be no problem as long as you have the original CD. You may have to wait while it downloads hundreds of updates before you can play though!
