EA and DICE have just released the second beta patch (1.50) for Battlefield 2 that changes some items and reverts a few more (jump to prone delay, choppers on Highway Tampa).
From Xfire: "With the next game being a return to the classic XX42 formula, now is as good a time as any to make an utterly definitive and in no possible way controversial ranking of the Battlefield games we've enjoyed over the years, with which undoubtedly nobody will take issue in the comment section. Right? Okay then - here we go, from least good to best."
Bad company 2 was still my favorite, sure it was a bit gimped compared to the rest if the series but more fun and far more satisfying weapon unlocks.
Battlefield 1942 + both expansions are my all time favorite, it can still be played online to this day. Vietnam would be my 2nd, 3rd Battlefield 2, last BF2142 the rest I didn't care for. They really need to remake from the ground up in the new engine BF1942. Next year it will be 20 yrs since it was released. If they don't at least to me would be a disservice. ☹
"erasing that simply reinforces toxic male privilege." I see the writer is one of those types of people...
"In case you have missed it, "ModDB has just released their “2020 Mod of the Year” awards final top 10 list, and what an awesome list it is! And with that said, a big congratulation to everyone who made it into the final top 10 list" - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Let's talk about Battlefield 2, released in 2005 and still getting love from the modding community. There’s a lot of great mods, so let’s get right into it.

Trying to win back some pc fans with the 1.5 patch. My guess is they're buttering us up for bad company 2 and 1943. Hopefully a bf3 announcement for pc.
For those that don't remmeber. EA was very heavily critisized for the amount of support on bf2. From the booster packs that failed horribly, The nerfing of many vehicles and guns that really didn't need to be nerfed. Though some things needed fixing like the inflight blackhawk repair spam. To the patches to fix patches.
The ranked servers which ultimately began to phase out private owned servers which led to many many very good user maps go un-noticed pissed off a lot of server owners. user maps are a good thing if you've played cs you'll know what I'm talking about.
I don't care so much now about bf2 so I guess I'll give them another chance with their new games. This was however the reason why I waited a very long time to purchase 2142. I didn't want to support a company that didn't support it's community. If you check a lot of people felt the same as 2142 didn't have as much of an impact as bf2 did. This is the difference between pc gamers and console gamers. Console gamers will happily buy crap and dev's took notice.
i got bf2 on launch day and i still think it is one of the funnest FPS ever but their launch was horrible. it took them like 2 patches to get the server browser and menues to respond in less than 5 minutes between each click of the mouse. i got fed up and didnt plkay for 3months till it was patched. after that was fixed i loved it. havent played in a looongtime. might give it another try.
