supercoolguy43 There was one guy on my favorite BF2 server that always used the PKM. With that amount of practice, he was to be feared. I have no idea what happened to him, I didn't realize the servers were being shut down until it was too late.
+MisterManekk i played bf2 up until a few months after bf3 came out. it was packed. so many servers with so many players. it still is the best bf game in my opinion. is there a way that i can revive my old bf2 account on the battlelog.co? i really do miss the strategy of teamwork, giant maps, countless vehicles, and the way that everything was balanced perfectly. theres a TH-cam channel, i forget which one, a guy is designing a Battlefield 1982, which he says to be the predecessor to bf2. hes taking things from bf2 and putting into this game. i personally cant wait to play it!! just search battlefield 1982. but anyway, if theres a way to get my old bf2 account back, how would i do that?
Quite a few BF2 players moved on to Arma. But the issue is that BF2 and Arma are as different as BF2 and BF3. The reason why Bf2 was so popular was because it was in the middle between a casual shooter and a military simulation. We would need a slightly dumbed down version of Arma for the Bf2 vets to feel home .LOL :D
*"no one played BF2 like this!"* While the vanilla gameplay was not as hardcore as what you have seen in this machinima, you could absolutely play Battlefield 2 like this thanks to the very popular Battlefield 2 military simulation mod called *"Project Reality"* (BF2:PR). In this machinima I not only use the BF2 section to advance the plot and point out the stark difference in gamedesign between BF2 and BF3, but also highlight that Battlefield 2 had mod support. Those mod tools in combination with public serverfiles enabled very popular mods like Project Reality which transformed the game into an actual military simulation, or the Pirates 2 mod which had you play as a pirate!, or Battleracer, or AIX2, or..... the list is very long. BF2's mod tools also allowed me to add a Blackhawk helicopter on Strike at Karkand, replace the face textures of the soldier models and add a female soldier model. Without mod tools I could not have done "Battlefield Crossover" nor "Merchant of Death" nor "The FEARless Movie". Mod tools and the public server files unlocked the creativity in the Battlefield community - which simply exploded as a result. So while the BF2 vanilla game was *not a MilSim* , you could absolutely get that experience just by installing a mod and join its community. That was just one of the many reasons why BF2 was the best Battlefield game to date and no other game that followed ever offered as much to the player and the community as BF2 did. In fact the removal of mod support and community server hosting are 2 of the reasons why the Battlefield communities and clans died.
bf2 is 100% crap and the st*pid ppl like u have bad taste for liking it. Project reality is one of the worst mods ever created and the modding community of bf2 was a joke compared to battlefront 2. Remain upset about your dogsh*t game mr battle(non)sense. bf3 > bf1942 >>> bf2 >>> bf2142 so glad to see bf2 completely die out so i can see babies like battle(non)sense cry about it
@@SteelFlesher haha these newer players doesnt even know what teamplay is and jumps into 2 expecting laser beam like weapons and lone wolfing on the maps without any strategy and than just plain say game is bad. Lol
In actuality, you'd just die to grenades every 2 seconds in Battlefield 2. But when people actually cooperate and not spam grenades, it's pretty awesome. :P
Anyone who played BF2 for thousands of hours knows very well that this shit isn't, wasn't real Karkand. Oh the fucking nade spams still makes my fucking head hurt after 4 years. That being said: -Enemy boat spotted!
+Trippy Wolf I know, I was laughing at how everyone seemed to be in Project Reality. But even if it was quite an exaggeration you cant deny how directionless the combat is now. In BF2 you always felt a part of something, whether you were on the front lines or flanking to get to a flag behind enemy lines. I think this is because you spawned miles from anywhere if you weren't in a squad, so teamwork was sort of forced (especially with squad spawning only on leader) if you wanted to get anything done. In BF3, your perfectly free to fuck around as a lone wolf doing whatever you want without much consequence. Not that I didn't have tons of fun with BF3, but it's gameplay is definitely different. I can't speak for BF4 because I never played it, but from what I've heard its largely the same even with Commander back.
1942 and Vietnam Where the best! Missed out on BF2 during its prime but I got it a week ago and its pretty fantastic too. I just love The Forgotten Hope 2 mod.
Feature that I love in battlefield 2. -2005 atmosphere -strike at karkand And also when I play that game when your HP is low,friendly squad ( Bot ) who carrying medical pack will heal you automatically,and you the players should say thanks to bots who heals you. If you injured and incapitated friendly bots will makes you alive again,and they will say *You alive buddy now get back to the fight* *Alright you good to go* And also when I drive LAV 25 and was hit by enemy tow in strike at karkand some friendly bots who carrying shotgun and anti tank mine will automatically repairing it. If you need a vehicle but it's occupied you can command your squad if you ever needs a vehicle *Hey I need a ride* But they not always care about you Somehow they will just leave you behind by saying *NO WAY MAN* I love that feature,it makes games very lively even with bots only. Fact about battlefield 2. 1.this game was made by battlefield 1942 modder ( called desert combat ) setting in Gulf war era. 2.EA was very happy with that mod so EA calls the modder creator who modding battlefield 1942 turn into Gulf war era 3.after that EA decided to making progress with battlefield 1942 modders and making some new projects modern battlefield games. 4.thats it battlefield 2 was born in their hands so without desert combat modders, this game will never born.
Its sad how things die out... You can tell me that "there are still quite a few players playing BF2" but that doesn't help.. Stuff dies not only in popularity and physically but also mentally... It truly is sad. I wish someone could cheer me up. I wan't a new shooter game like battlefield that actually was made with quality in mind. And no bullshit micro transactions like BF3 and BF4... I thought BF3 was going a bit far but BF4 even added "BattlePacks" which add even more to the "Micro transactions" If I pay for a triple A title game I want quality and a one time payment thing. Instead we get the actual opposite. Even Indie games have more love and trust than AAA games now days.. Which is truly sad. Even fucking Far Cry 4 Added a gun in game and some other features that you have to pay for with real money... ARE WE BUYING FREE TO PLAY GAMES FOR 60€ RETAIL PRICES? EA, Activi$ion, Ubi$oft... What the Actual fuck?
Vetrox It is, just imagine what the modding community could have done with BF3 and BF4 if they released mod tools, but thanks to consoles and DLCs it's never going to happen.
noone plays the game? lol go and check battlefield 2 battlelog on google, its a team of devs that resurected bf2 and its now all the same just its a free game. there are 7-10 servers full of players non-stop *go check it out*
Diktator70 I have BF2Revive, I just think that less people play it because of all of the annoyances. If I were to make a server, I would remove the ability to throw grenades as infantry. :P
Everything you see in this video happened to me and my friends when playing on publics and wars (clan matched) in BF2 and BF3. But generally speaking, BF2 vanilla was not played as slowly and tactical as seen in this video. However, when you install the free "Project Reality" mod for BF2 then you get quite close to what you have seen here - this was part of the reason why we build the story and the video that way. With mods, there were no limits in BF2. There is even a "Pirates" mod. :)
Awesome video! It maked wanna cry at 9:30 and in the end... But the solution until now its only one. And its named Project Reality. The best mod of BF2 I have ever played. Keep up the servers guys!
I love coming back to this video. BF5 is likely the next one for 2016, and seeing how the Devs have been looking at the community more than ever before especially for BF4, hopefully, I mean HOPEFULLY, AND I. MEAN. *HOPEFULLY*, they return to the roots of the Battlefield franchise since they are going Militaristic again. Alot of people have been talking about that in the battlelog forms, and they pay attention to that stuff too. I have a doubt that they will, but I pray that they do because they know the mistakes they made with BF4 and 3.
Not gonna happen. The golden era of our loved team oriented skill based epic 64 players combat is over. But sure it was a great time when it first came out. All the hope for future. And we ended up like this. Sad.
Install? I do have it installed. Lets see when I played it last time... Oh it was yesterday! Why would you play 2002 game with bots only? It has tons of players, just remember to patch your host file since gamespy is down.
Epicci Because I sold my original copy of the game many years ago and I have just the cracked version. And because I like to play on my own server, choose the maps, gamemode, time limit, point limit, etc.
Bad Company 3 is expected soon. But Bad Company 2 was better than the first one and knowing EA the first one is probably going to be better than the third one
what kind of mod to bf2 is this? i see different character models etc etc :P And bf2 really looks good even today! and yeah, this is so true.... bf3 lost alot of the glory from bf2!
mabye im not a veteran but in a bf4 server im the only who: -heals and revives -repairs properly -give ammo directly to the teammates -follow orders -help the squad -use the recon for spot enemies not like a portable spawn and sometimrs i die only for give ammo or a medikit or revive a teammate. and i use the jets to destroy the choppers and attack land vehicles and even i killed an infantry soldier with the jet canon but i didnt enjoyed the "golden days" of bf but well i am only 16 years old
bf3 was my first bf game and it was on console watching this made me think bf3 was kinda shit and restrictive and a rip off and now i'm on bf4 on pc with the worst bugs bf has ever met, i think i've missed bfs' glory days
but its not too late to check out BF2, there are still many players on the servers. You should really buy BF2 complete collection for 5 or 10€/$ somewhere ;)
Who wants to back this project: somehow modifying the BF2 engine to display custom textures from bf4/bf3 (or just revamped textures) And allowing these modifications to be client side. So having a graphically superior game, with literally the exact game play as bf2 because it is bf2. My programming skills suck, so i can't really make this happen. But can someone make it happen for me?
Howard Fortyfive we need to find some People then. Or visa versa: modify the new engine (bf2 used refractor 2[really outdated] and New Games use frostbite 3) to have all the same content from bf2, but have the same features of frostbite. It may taste time, but relatively easy.
ryan coleman Wait, if you've no clue about anything programming related how can you say it's easy-peasy? Because it isn't. In fact, assuming we could even use the Frostbite engine it would be a tedious and hard task to do so.
TocsDK I must have stated that wrong. I meant my programming in frostbite is very bad. I understand its a different engine then others, but some general things are the same. Having that general knowledge, I don't see how it would be that difficult. Tedious, maybe. If you were to use something like venice unleashed is working on, you might not even have to make a new game, just add the textures (which you might have edited to be more in depth) to the game, then edit game play. As i said before, i understand i don't know everything about frostbite. But a cross over wouldn't be that difficult, just long and tiring work.
The amount of time and money spent on getting this message across - no one could have done it better. I feel the exact same way. All they had to do was make BF2 again, exactly as it was before, but with the new improved graphics, destruction, weapons, and attachments. There was no need to change how the game played whatsoever. BF3 only had looks, and unfortunately I can't trust the franchise enough to spend money on BF4. I would sooner repair my old PC and play BF2. I hope the game developers see your video, and see that money isn't everything in life, especially if you can't enjoy it (with crap games out there).
"Stiffi1306" is the playername of one of my friends. The names I used in this video (Nessa, Lom, Kett, etc.) are based on them. Was my way to say *thanks* for all their help with my machinimas over the years. See credits for more details. :)
My favorite is battlefield 2 too.In this game you could play with other people and most of them had a good teamwork, in battlefield 3 and even in battlefield 4 you can only have teamwork if you make 1 or 2 squads with your friends. Btw can you make a wallpaper for this part at 22:56?
FEAR Productions Fortunately, many features are back in bf4, proving that Dice is still istening to his community. But so many bugs, which made bf4 unjoyable right now. I really hope it will be mainly fixed soon. Up-to-date graphics / sounds / collisions is always good :)
Kirill Shist It could be really nice, but they really need to focus fixing it, instead of making new DLC's and new games of the franchise... I mean, we are speaking of Dice, not Infinity Ward...
TheOnlyFMP Bf veteran community!!! Lets begin a revolution and get a bf2 crossover!!!! With no kill grinds, yes dice, no kill grinds for attachments buddy.
+NoName Project Reality is a great BF2 mod (which is now available in a stand alone version). However I do not want to play a MilSim like PR or ARMA or SQUAD. The reason why I loved Battlefield is because it was in that sweetspot between an Arcade Shooter (CoD) and a MilSim(ARMA). The franchise lost that with BF3 and did not gain it back with BF4. These games can only be described as "Dutyfield".
i love all battlefield games but the ones i love the most are battlefield 1942 , battlefield 2 , battle field 3 , battlefield 4 battlefield hardliner and battlefield Vietnam. i love to play battlefield 2 but theirs never any 1 to play it with me. i love battlefield playforfree and battlefield heros but there shut down.i just hop u keep make good videos on the origins of battlefield. so good luck and remember to have fun with your friends and ur videos
The best movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really dont know why this did not get more views and subscribes . you earned a subscribe and like.
16:29. Damn true. It's really strange that EA and DICE haven't found any native Russian voice actors to record proper voices in BF3 and also BF4. For me it's would be better to hear clear English language, than this ugly version of my native Russian language, which is in BF3 and BF4. Really.
Great video! I've played a lot of BF3 and that "I NEED AMMO" situation.... I'm really enjoying BF2 though! I just got problems joining servers because my game is a newer version... Got no idea what to do
I think it is. The only thing that ruins the game for me is when people spam "spotted" because every time someone on your team presses the spot button the you'll get a radio message about it... and some people think it's worth spamming... -.- Check out NickitoRage's video "Battlefield 2 - Do People Still Play?" and if you get the game, install it like he says in the description :)
Alexander Dinesen You know you can mute the "enemy spotted" voice command? :P Also so answer getwilly1's comment, then no, ofc not, the game is nothing like this video portrays it, and it can't be when playing with 63 random people. Nonetheless the game's great, and if you preferred games that aren't dumbed down to fit the casual crowed, then you'll have a blast with BF2. However, if you're a casual gamer who just thought this video was cool, then no, you're most likely not going to enjoy it.
***** I actually did, but that matters not. This was still as I said. Generic Machinima? [✓) Dubstep music? [✓] Shitty voiceovers? [✓] Badly recorded? [✓]
***** Don't forget seeing a thumbnail and title is not enough to pull a conclusion. People click on videos to see what it actually is you know, and sometimes it turns out to be different, better or crappy. This machinima just feels overall bad, that's my point. It's generic I love Battlefield 2 btw I played it 800 hours, this is just badly done that's all
***** OFC BF3 and BF4 has features from BF2.Every game has some.COD has the same small maps , graphics and multiplayer.FarCry has open world , vehicles in singleplayer and huting.BF3 and BF4 are better than BF2.Better graphics , animations, gun sounds are reall sounds that were recorded,Better vehicles , destruction AND bf3,bf4 have campaign with a story.Maybe BF3's campaign was a bit boring but BF4's was really awesome.Come on...move on...sont stay at old games.I dont hate BF2 but we cant say that it was better.
I hate cod.Actually in my opinion even crossfire is better than cod.I played bf 1942 , bf bc1 , bfbc2 , bf2 ,bf3 and some bf4. and BF3 , BFBC2 and BF4 are the best
***** Well you have a right here but i dont think BF3/4 is boring. I mean..come on...the maps are still huge.Some of them even bigger than BF2 has.Also its more realistic.Destruction and a better engine makes bf3/4 awesome.BF2 has better teamwork yeah but that doesnt make the game ''fun'' BF2 has lots of assholes team killing for no reason...bf3 you must play hardcore to find people team killing.I love all battlefield games.My fav are BF BC2 , BF1943 , 3 ,4.BF2 is OK but i dont really like it.Just my opinion...
This video is not just about "BF2 Vanilla" - it is more about what you can do with Battlefield 2 without spending any extra money (DLC's). You already correctly mentioned Project Reality. The lack of ModSupport in the Frostbite engine is the biggest loss for the Battlefield franchise, which was all about modding since day one. Also I think that the players/community of BF1942/2/2142 was different because the gamedesign was fundamentally different and thus attracted a different kind of players.
Oh my god, this short-movie is such a piece of art. i never played BF2 but i wish i had. you are absolutely right about the evolution of the battlefield franchise and its sad to see in which direction it is heading, especially BF4, and all its huge problems. i fear that this game is going the cod way, all the way down the drain and we'll all finally lost one of the best team based fps ever! i feel it coming, but i strongly try to deny it :-( thank you, for 25 min of subtle and well made, clever entertainment! i really apprecciate it!
Josias Machado Yes, they've closed the official servers, but I'm mostly playing single player with mods such as *Special Ops Warfare*, *Alpha Project*, and *Project Reality*. You wouldn't believe what these guys are doing with good old BF2! It's still possible to play online though because unofficial servers have been set up. And from what I understand there are quite a few people playing. Check here: www.battlelog.co/ Do you have a copy of BF2?
Faction specific weapons - yes, I really miss those. I don't like that multi-role mixed class system either. No clue why the still insist on it instead of creating very specific classes again that can be properly balanced - especially for teamwork.
It is in that video because I found it while shooting the video. Also it is in as a example to show how many glitches there are in BF3 as well as that the netcode is the worst in the history of battlefield.
Eity Galili if you even bothered to google what i said you would find that the devs have said that BF 3-4 are prequels to BF2 so no im pretty sure you're dumb you snot nosed little shit
I'm 17 years old, and envied my father whenever he played Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield 2. I finally got to play them about three years before the release of the first Bad Company game. I remember seeing Bad Company 1's trailers everywhere, but due to "budget constraints", I didn't have a console to play it with. I did manage to get Bad Company 2 for PS3 a year after it's release, and it was really good. I expected BF3 to bring the best of both worlds, but this video pretty much sums it up.
Thanks! :) I know that it is controversial, but that was the goal - to get new and old players talk about where the BF franchise came from, what it is today, and where it is going.
Hab's mir jetzt insgesamt 3 Mal angeschaut und muss sagen, es ist wirklich ein Meisterwerk. Ist ein BF4 Crossover in Planung? Viele der hier angesprochenen Dinge sind in BF4 wieder vorhanden.
There are quite a few different versions of this song. The one I used is called "We found house by knife party & ricky romero". Just search this here on YT.
I feel sad although i have never played BF2.Very impressive and very well done.It almost brought a tear to my eye.Thank you FEAR Productions once again.
While BF2 is one of the better titles of the series, there were still some things there that really rustled my jimmies: - Most mid range engagements turned into mindless nade wars for one-shot galores. You will learn to fear the word "Kumbula" on Karkand. - Claymores on top of ladders, with the wookies on top hogging a supply crate to make sure no one would ever get up there. - Claymore-fu, or the art of dropping a claymore when someone was in your face, ensuring they would die even if you were killed. - Getting knifed from 5 metres away. - Skilled PKM users : deadlier than your team's shitty lone-wolf Snipers. - Fighting commanders who weren't commanding. - Air superiority decided the outcome of the game, because AA was near-useless. Fixed AA were a death-trap and too few maps had AA vehicles (which had shit range anyway). Only exception was Daqing, if you had the Chinese mobile AA.
I still like bf2 . It has what many people would want in a battlefield game. Mods, teamwork, Squad, zombies, battlefield 3 mod even, this is one of my favourite games.
BF 2:
- Server-side hit detection
- Limited sprint
- Non-regenerating health
- Non-regenerating armor
- Ammo clips/magazines
- Balanced weapons
- Big maps
- Spread out flags
- Geared towards vehicle warfare
- 6 man squads
- 7 different kits
- Vehicles have limited ammo
- Supply drops
- Vehicle drops
- Commander
- Squad Voip
- Team work
- Vote map
- vote kick
- grappling hooks
- zip lines
- Destroying enemy artillery
- Destroying enemy UAV and radars
BF 3:
- BF 2 gamers Nightmare :D
The hit boxes were awful on BF2. Was a big turn off but not big enough to not play it.
Plus,mod support. :)
Only thing I really can't stand in Bf2 was the LMGs. Goddamn, the inaccuracy without being prone.
supercoolguy43 There was one guy on my favorite BF2 server that always used the PKM. With that amount of practice, he was to be feared. I have no idea what happened to him, I didn't realize the servers were being shut down until it was too late.
WhiteFlame0 Servers are still up. Go to battlelog(dot)co
not com but co
+MisterManekk i played bf2 up until a few months after bf3 came out. it was packed. so many servers with so many players. it still is the best bf game in my opinion. is there a way that i can revive my old bf2 account on the battlelog.co? i really do miss the strategy of teamwork, giant maps, countless vehicles, and the way that everything was balanced perfectly. theres a TH-cam channel, i forget which one, a guy is designing a Battlefield 1982, which he says to be the predecessor to bf2. hes taking things from bf2 and putting into this game. i personally cant wait to play it!! just search battlefield 1982. but anyway, if theres a way to get my old bf2 account back, how would i do that?
Chris Aderson
You're thinking of Battle(non)Sense. Battlefield 1982 isn't a real game, it's just his vision of what a perfect battlefield would be.
supercoolguy43
Not a perfect battlefield, but rather a worthy successor for BF2.
bf2 is best bf except crazy arabic radio spam.
what are u taking about that was the best thing
its like brainwashing... after a while you just stop hearing it but its there... oh god, its always there
And crazy grenade spam.
Kumbula!

All BF veterans who are tired of the new "Battlefield" games. The Arma community welcomes you with open arms.
Quite a few BF2 players moved on to Arma. But the issue is that BF2 and Arma are as different as BF2 and BF3.
The reason why Bf2 was so popular was because it was in the middle between a casual shooter and a military simulation.
We would need a slightly dumbed down version of Arma for the Bf2 vets to feel home .LOL :D
FEAR Productions and a few of us enjoy PR, maybe in the future the next step with Sqaud ;D
FEAR Productions SQUAD looks promising.
CMDR Trevor The Originell BF2:PR Dev's are the Lead of Sqaud, that is promising too.
I would love too but I can't quite get a good PC yet
*"no one played BF2 like this!"*
While the vanilla gameplay was not as hardcore as what you have seen in this machinima, you could absolutely play Battlefield 2 like this thanks to the very popular Battlefield 2 military simulation mod called *"Project Reality"* (BF2:PR).
In this machinima I not only use the BF2 section to advance the plot and point out the stark difference in gamedesign between BF2 and BF3, but also highlight that Battlefield 2 had mod support.
Those mod tools in combination with public serverfiles enabled very popular mods like Project Reality which transformed the game into an actual military simulation, or the Pirates 2 mod which had you play as a pirate!, or Battleracer, or AIX2, or..... the list is very long.
BF2's mod tools also allowed me to add a Blackhawk helicopter on Strike at Karkand, replace the face textures of the soldier models and add a female soldier model. Without mod tools I could not have done "Battlefield Crossover" nor "Merchant of Death" nor "The FEARless Movie". Mod tools and the public server files unlocked the creativity in the Battlefield community - which simply exploded as a result.
So while the BF2 vanilla game was *not a MilSim* , you could absolutely get that experience just by installing a mod and join its community.
That was just one of the many reasons why BF2 was the best Battlefield game to date and no other game that followed ever offered as much to the player and the community as BF2 did.
In fact the removal of mod support and community server hosting are 2 of the reasons why the Battlefield communities and clans died.

Bf2 and bf3 are both good
And even i dint played the game
@@gggg-gj3xy lol got mad by getting killed easily in the game arent ya?
@@SteelFlesher haha these newer players doesnt even know what teamplay is and jumps into 2 expecting laser beam like weapons and lone wolfing on the maps without any strategy and than just plain say game is bad. Lol
brings tears back to me, i remember how awesome Battlefield 2 was, i want to play it again
Man BF2 has better teamwork than BF3 and BF4 (kinda for BF4)...
In actuality, you'd just die to grenades every 2 seconds in Battlefield 2. But when people actually cooperate and not spam grenades, it's pretty awesome. :P
You can still play it, go to battlelog.co
If a grenade didn't kill you in the first 5 seconds after spawning, did you really play Karkand at all?
This is why we play Arma! Miss BF2 so much :/
You should join Project Reality BF2! It's basicly where Battlefield 2 still shines bright!
I don't like how people comparing All-Out Warfare genre to a milsim.
Anyone who played BF2 for thousands of hours knows very well that this shit isn't, wasn't real Karkand. Oh the fucking nade spams still makes my fucking head hurt after 4 years. That being said:
-Enemy boat spotted!

I know, I was laughing at how everyone seemed to be in Project Reality. But even if it was quite an exaggeration you cant deny how directionless the combat is now. In BF2 you always felt a part of something, whether you were on the front lines or flanking to get to a flag behind enemy lines. I think this is because you spawned miles from anywhere if you weren't in a squad, so teamwork was sort of forced (especially with squad spawning only on leader) if you wanted to get anything done.
In BF3, your perfectly free to fuck around as a lone wolf doing whatever you want without much consequence. Not that I didn't have tons of fun with BF3, but it's gameplay is definitely different. I can't speak for BF4 because I never played it, but from what I've heard its largely the same even with Commander back.
dead
revive
dead
respawn
repeat
This is pretty accurate. I have both BF3 and BF2. There is a bigger sense of teamwork in BF2 than 3.
1942 and Vietnam Where the best! Missed out on BF2 during its prime but I got it a week ago and its pretty fantastic too. I just love The Forgotten Hope 2 mod.
Yes! Someone remembers Vietnam! I still load it up in bot matches time-to-time.
so true

110%
more so with PR
this video is the reason why dice put commander,UAV,5 men squad back to bf4!!!! lol
Except no one fucking uses them anymore (correctly)
lol
i do miss bf2 and all the action that was in it back then
I hate it when there is no teamplay. No medkit drops, no ammo drops, Hate it!

my k/d is 1. but my teamwork is OVER 9000! Screw k/d bro haha
Amreeka tee💩💩💩💩💩😂
Oh Battlefield, you have fallen far. Perhaps one day we shall all see the real battlefield again, as it was in BF2.
No chance, BF2 was the golden age, from there, BF will only go down now...
Maybe in 2021 with BF6 being modern setting and possible 128+ players if leaks are true we might get something similar to good old Battlefield 2
damn how opinions change over the years
Feature that I love in battlefield 2.
-2005 atmosphere
-strike at karkand
And also when I play that game when your HP is low,friendly squad ( Bot ) who carrying medical pack will heal you automatically,and you the players should say thanks to bots who heals you.
If you injured and incapitated friendly bots will makes you alive again,and they will say
*You alive buddy now get back to the fight*
*Alright you good to go*
And also when I drive LAV 25 and was hit by enemy tow in strike at karkand some friendly bots who carrying shotgun and anti tank mine will automatically repairing it.
If you need a vehicle but it's occupied you can command your squad if you ever needs a vehicle
*Hey I need a ride*
But they not always care about you
Somehow they will just leave you behind by saying
*NO WAY MAN*
I love that feature,it makes games very lively even with bots only.
Fact about battlefield 2.
1.this game was made by battlefield 1942 modder ( called desert combat ) setting in Gulf war era.
2.EA was very happy with that mod so EA calls the modder creator who modding battlefield 1942 turn into Gulf war era
3.after that EA decided to making progress with battlefield 1942 modders and making some new projects modern battlefield games.
4.thats it battlefield 2 was born in their hands so without desert combat modders, this game will never born.
True thanks for the infos 👍
Bf2 remasterd with few more customization options and vaulting= BEST BF GAME EVER!
Its sad how things die out... You can tell me that "there are still quite a few players playing BF2" but that doesn't help.. Stuff dies not only in popularity and physically but also mentally... It truly is sad. I wish someone could cheer me up.
I wan't a new shooter game like battlefield that actually was made with quality in mind. And no bullshit micro transactions like BF3 and BF4... I thought BF3 was going a bit far but BF4 even added "BattlePacks" which add even more to the "Micro transactions" If I pay for a triple A title game I want quality and a one time payment thing. Instead we get the actual opposite. Even Indie games have more love and trust than AAA games now days.. Which is truly sad.
Even fucking Far Cry 4 Added a gun in game and some other features that you have to pay for with real money... ARE WE BUYING FREE TO PLAY GAMES FOR 60€ RETAIL PRICES? EA, Activi$ion, Ubi$oft... What the Actual fuck?
You could install Project Reality mod for BF2, even though it's much more hardcore.
CRBASF2 agreed, its fucking awesome
Vetrox It is, just imagine what the modding community could have done with BF3 and BF4 if they released mod tools, but thanks to consoles and DLCs it's never going to happen.
CRBASF2 so true, the engine used in bf3 and 4 would be way better with project reality, imersive as fuck
Arma was my go-to game after BF2
You forgot the dolphin diving and grenade spam.
And radio spam. I feel like these are the reasons why no one plays this game anymore. :/
noone plays the game? lol
go and check battlefield 2 battlelog on google, its a team of devs that resurected bf2 and its now all the same just its a free game. there are 7-10 servers full of players non-stop
*go check it out*
Diktator70 I have BF2Revive, I just think that less people play it because of all of the annoyances. If I were to make a server, I would remove the ability to throw grenades as infantry. :P
TheMCJarhead
well as for the radio spam, you can enable the "english voice only" so you wont have to listen to alllahoo ekber all the time lol
Diktator70 The MEC never yell Allahu Akbar ever in any of their callouts. Plus I like hearing Arabic language. :P
Everything you see in this video happened to me and my friends when playing on publics and wars (clan matched) in BF2 and BF3.
But generally speaking, BF2 vanilla was not played as slowly and tactical as seen in this video. However, when you install the free "Project Reality" mod for BF2 then you get quite close to what you have seen here - this was part of the reason why we build the story and the video that way. With mods, there were no limits in BF2. There is even a "Pirates" mod. :)
Public BF2 servers were still leagues ahead of BF3/BF4 in terms of teamplay and cohesion... Oh I miss those days...
2022 and it's still soo amazing ✨😩
bf2 is better in much things but sometime i find some old bf2 players to do teamwork
You can never do this in Call of Duty...
yup..
Maps are too small lol
looks are just different gameplay is better in BW2
Awesome video! It maked wanna cry at 9:30 and in the end... But the solution until now its only one. And its named Project Reality. The best mod of BF2 I have ever played. Keep up the servers guys!
I love coming back to this video. BF5 is likely the next one for 2016, and seeing how the Devs have been looking at the community more than ever before especially for BF4, hopefully, I mean HOPEFULLY, AND I. MEAN. *HOPEFULLY*, they return to the roots of the Battlefield franchise since they are going Militaristic again.
Alot of people have been talking about that in the battlelog forms, and they pay attention to that stuff too. I have a doubt that they will, but I pray that they do because they know the mistakes they made with BF4 and 3.
Not gonna happen. The golden era of our loved team oriented skill based epic 64 players combat is over. But sure it was a great time when it first came out. All the hope for future. And we ended up like this. Sad.
Oh man.
Oh i found this gem after all this years again and it still gives me the chills while we were making it!
RIP Battlefield 2 official servers
2005-2014
BF 1942 and BF2 will be always one of my favorite games
I hope they will make new WW2 game
They've done it few years ago. Battlefield 1943. It's a pity It didn't come out to PC :(
+Black Ursus József Thats not even close to remake. Not a bad game but cant compare to 1942
Install? I do have it installed. Lets see when I played it last time... Oh it was yesterday! Why would you play 2002 game with bots only? It has tons of players, just remember to patch your host file since gamespy is down.
Epicci Because I sold my original copy of the game many years ago and I have just the cracked version. And because I like to play on my own server, choose the maps, gamemode, time limit, point limit, etc.
Cracked version does get the server with the host patch, 1942 is basically free to play after the servers got down. Community has their own servers
Project reality is what I use to make BF2 even more fun, BF3 and BF4 are fun sometimes, but I like working with a team that really works.
What servers do you usually play on?
The one that I have the best connection is the HOG server
Bad Company was a spinoff!
Battlefield 3 was the chosen one to bring balance to the series and convert the cod kids, not join them!
Bad Company 3 is expected soon.
But Bad Company 2 was better than the first one and knowing EA the first one is probably going to be better than the third one
Watching this in 2020... I cant belive how DICE miss a World War II BF... WE HAVE PASSED The DARKEST AGE IN BF.. I hope
When he said "Why do I always end up in Bad Company". The game should've switched to BFBC2.
90% of my deaths are becuase people dont drop me ammo -_-
Owww so true... Bf2 is way better...
what kind of mod to bf2 is this? i see different character models etc etc :P And bf2 really looks good even today! and yeah, this is so true.... bf3 lost alot of the glory from bf2!
AeroFix94 Self made modification, including the new facetextures for the soldiers and the female soldier model.
yeah i noticed that ;) looks nice!
FEAR Productions is there a way to play this mod?
and bf 4 is even worse thx dice we love you (not rly)
BF4 is alot better than BF3 after the fixed alot of the netcode issues and glitches :P
man that looks so good love bf2, bf3 was epic on its own way but not a comparison to teamplayed bf2
mabye im not a veteran but in a bf4 server im the only who:
-heals and revives
-repairs properly
-give ammo directly to the teammates
-follow orders
-help the squad
-use the recon for spot enemies not like a portable spawn
and sometimrs i die only for give ammo or a medikit or revive a teammate.
and i use the jets to destroy the choppers and attack land vehicles and even i killed an infantry soldier with the jet canon but i didnt enjoyed the "golden days" of bf but well i am only 16 years old
bf3 was my first bf game and it was on console watching this made me think bf3 was kinda shit and restrictive and a rip off and now i'm on bf4 on pc with the worst bugs bf has ever met, i think i've missed bfs' glory days
yes my good sir, you did missed bfs' glory days...
but its not too late to check out BF2, there are still many players on the servers. You should really buy BF2 complete collection for 5 or 10€/$ somewhere ;)
Leon Kollberg
On Karkand, infantry only...
Der Ewige Wanderer actually you can get it for 20$ on steam
Daniel N. Paxton
dude where do you live, USA? HA! :D here in germany you can buy it for 10€
Who wants to back this project: somehow modifying the BF2 engine to display custom textures from bf4/bf3 (or just revamped textures) And allowing these modifications to be client side. So having a graphically superior game, with literally the exact game play as bf2 because it is bf2. My programming skills suck, so i can't really make this happen. But can someone make it happen for me?
lame
That idea sounds good to me however a programmer I AIN'T!!!
Howard Fortyfive we need to find some People then. Or visa versa: modify the new engine (bf2 used refractor 2[really outdated] and New Games use frostbite 3) to have all the same content from bf2, but have the same features of frostbite. It may taste time, but relatively easy.
ryan coleman Wait, if you've no clue about anything programming related how can you say it's easy-peasy? Because it isn't. In fact, assuming we could even use the Frostbite engine it would be a tedious and hard task to do so.
TocsDK
I must have stated that wrong. I meant my programming in frostbite is very bad. I understand its a different engine then others, but some general things are the same. Having that general knowledge, I don't see how it would be that difficult. Tedious, maybe. If you were to use something like venice unleashed is working on, you might not even have to make a new game, just add the textures (which you might have edited to be more in depth) to the game, then edit game play. As i said before, i understand i don't know everything about frostbite. But a cross over wouldn't be that difficult, just long and tiring work.
The amount of time and money spent on getting this message across - no one could have done it better.
I feel the exact same way.
All they had to do was make BF2 again, exactly as it was before, but with the new improved graphics, destruction, weapons, and attachments. There was no need to change how the game played whatsoever. BF3 only had looks, and unfortunately I can't trust the franchise enough to spend money on BF4.
I would sooner repair my old PC and play BF2.
I hope the game developers see your video, and see that money isn't everything in life, especially if you can't enjoy it (with crap games out there).
"Stiffi1306" is the playername of one of my friends. The names I used in this video (Nessa, Lom, Kett, etc.) are based on them. Was my way to say *thanks* for all their help with my machinimas over the years.
See credits for more details. :)
ahh, the good old battlefield 2 days :((
My favorite is battlefield 2 too.In this game you could play with other people and most of them had a good teamwork, in battlefield 3 and even in battlefield 4 you can only have teamwork if you make 1 or 2 squads with your friends.
Btw can you make a wallpaper for this part at 22:56?
the download link for the poster (which is used at 22:56) is in the description. :)
Okay stop lying BF2 was not this tactical. It wasn't garbage like BF3 but it wasn't Rainbow Six
Really depends about the squad you had.
Must've always had a shitty squad then.
the same goes for bf4.
BF2 had capabilities to be tactical. It didn't punish you for teamwork. It was the most overpowered weapon back then. And you hadn't to unlock it :p
rainbow six is arguably better than all BW games lel
Voice acting could've been more dramatic. GREAT OVERALL THOUGH
Came back here to rewatch this legendary vid before I hop onto BF Portal.
thats me goin' to bf3 and back to the bf2, and i never leave the 1942
Awesome Video :) and as a HUGE BF2 fan i really have to say... Do more of this stuff. BF2 is one if the last TeamPlay Games *-*
Thanks!
You might enjoy my old BF2 Machinimas then. :)
vimeo.com/channels/fearproductions
FEAR Productions Fortunately, many features are back in bf4, proving that Dice is still istening to his community. But so many bugs, which made bf4 unjoyable right now. I really hope it will be mainly fixed soon. Up-to-date graphics / sounds / collisions is always good :)
OMG this is so epic i just remember when i played Bf2 the teamplay was awesome...
totally love the artillery
*Those ragdoll physics*
holy shit that got me way too good
Man i really hope someone makes a crossover with all the battlefields that would be sweet!
And then you play Battlefield 4 and stuff got even more fucked up...
Ah god, you are right.
After Battlefield 3, The Battlefield 4 looks so terrible :c
Kirill Shist It could be really nice, but they really need to focus fixing it, instead of making new DLC's and new games of the franchise... I mean, we are speaking of Dice, not Infinity Ward...
TheOnlyFMP
Bf veteran community!!! Lets begin a revolution and get a bf2 crossover!!!! With no kill grinds, yes dice, no kill grinds for attachments buddy.
Die hard BF3 fan but BF3 will never beat BF2
You should play project reality :D
+NoName Project Reality is a great BF2 mod (which is now available in a stand alone version). However I do not want to play a MilSim like PR or ARMA or SQUAD. The reason why I loved Battlefield is because it was in that sweetspot between an Arcade Shooter (CoD) and a MilSim(ARMA).
The franchise lost that with BF3 and did not gain it back with BF4. These games can only be described as "Dutyfield".
+FEAR Productions I hope they bring it back with bf5 but they prob wont
+NoName Tbh I dont think, that we will ever come back, to the something close like BF 2 ...
i love all battlefield games but the ones i love the most are battlefield 1942 , battlefield 2 , battle field 3 , battlefield 4 battlefield hardliner and battlefield Vietnam. i love to play battlefield 2 but theirs never any 1 to play it with me. i love battlefield playforfree and battlefield heros but there shut down.i just hop u keep make good videos on the origins of battlefield. so good luck and remember to have fun with your friends and ur videos
2142 and 2 were the only good ones, nirvanien.
Music from Black Mesa (the Half-Life 1 remake) at 5:53
The best movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really dont know why this did not get more views and subscribes . you earned a subscribe and like.
16:29. Damn true. It's really strange that EA and DICE haven't found any native Russian voice actors to record proper voices in BF3 and also BF4.
For me it's would be better to hear clear English language, than this ugly version of my native Russian language, which is in BF3 and BF4. Really.
That IS how a Russian accent sounds like. It also depends on how well the Russian knows English.
Bad Company 2 have native Russian voice actors which is better than BF3!
NICE WORK
Great video! I've played a lot of BF3 and that "I NEED AMMO" situation.... I'm really enjoying BF2 though! I just got problems joining servers because my game is a newer version... Got no idea what to do
Is it worth buying? Im thinking of buying it but im not sure if that many people still play it or if it will be like this video portrays it.
I think it is. The only thing that ruins the game for me is when people spam "spotted" because every time someone on your team presses the spot button the you'll get a radio message about it... and some people think it's worth spamming... -.-
Check out NickitoRage's video "Battlefield 2 - Do People Still Play?" and if you get the game, install it like he says in the description :)
Alexander Dinesen You know you can mute the "enemy spotted" voice command? :P Also so answer getwilly1's comment, then no, ofc not, the game is nothing like this video portrays it, and it can't be when playing with 63 random people. Nonetheless the game's great, and if you preferred games that aren't dumbed down to fit the casual crowed, then you'll have a blast with BF2. However, if you're a casual gamer who just thought this video was cool, then no, you're most likely not going to enjoy it.
Rwaat
Not a casual gamer at all lol. Just started playing today and i really wish i would have bought it sooner. One of my favorite games now.
Awesome man!! :D Just say if you want to squad up!
Why In The Bf2 Part They act like it's Real Life But In The Bf3 Part They Act Like Its A Game
Because thanks to mod support you could play BF2 like a MilSim (BF2:Project Reality mod).
BF2 Reality: Twice the cluster fuck and weird shit as BF3, which made it so awesome.
22:24 - 22:36
I'd sign that :P
Fucking amazing loved the vid soo true
Oh boy if it isn't another generic machinima with bad voice acting and generic dubstep songs.
***** I actually did, but that matters not. This was still as I said.
Generic Machinima? [✓)
Dubstep music? [✓]
Shitty voiceovers? [✓]
Badly recorded? [✓]
***** Why am I not allowed to criticize a video I am watching online?
***** Don't forget seeing a thumbnail and title is not enough to pull a conclusion. People click on videos to see what it actually is you know, and sometimes it turns out to be different, better or crappy.
This machinima just feels overall bad, that's my point. It's generic
I love Battlefield 2 btw I played it 800 hours, this is just badly done that's all
***** That's the whole reason why I don't play sonic games no more
'Looks are the only thing the other side's got.' - So true!
Oh BF2 how I miss you :( x
BF3 is still better than 2.
*****
OFC BF3 and BF4 has features from BF2.Every game has some.COD has the same small maps , graphics and multiplayer.FarCry has open world , vehicles in singleplayer and huting.BF3 and BF4 are better than BF2.Better graphics , animations, gun sounds are reall sounds that were recorded,Better vehicles , destruction AND bf3,bf4 have campaign with a story.Maybe BF3's campaign was a bit boring but BF4's was really awesome.Come on...move on...sont stay at old games.I dont hate BF2 but we cant say that it was better.
***** what features ?
I hate cod.Actually in my opinion even crossfire is better than cod.I played bf 1942 , bf bc1 , bfbc2 , bf2 ,bf3 and some bf4. and BF3 , BFBC2 and BF4 are the best
*****
Well you have a right here but i dont think BF3/4 is boring.
I mean..come on...the maps are still huge.Some of them even bigger than BF2 has.Also its more realistic.Destruction and a better engine makes bf3/4 awesome.BF2 has better teamwork yeah but that doesnt make the game ''fun'' BF2 has lots of assholes team killing for no reason...bf3 you must play hardcore to find people team killing.I love all battlefield games.My fav are BF BC2 , BF1943 , 3 ,4.BF2 is OK but i dont really like it.Just my opinion...
***** should I buy it on steam or the web ?
10:24 Stryker probably intended to do a drive by for that shot but then got stuck in the crater.
+Michael Moen that was done on purpose (like many other things in the video). I have included a lot of things that I encountered while playing BF3.
well done FEAR.
This video is not just about "BF2 Vanilla" - it is more about what you can do with Battlefield 2 without spending any extra money (DLC's). You already correctly mentioned Project Reality.
The lack of ModSupport in the Frostbite engine is the biggest loss for the Battlefield franchise, which was all about modding since day one.
Also I think that the players/community of BF1942/2/2142 was different because the gamedesign was fundamentally different and thus attracted a different kind of players.
ah good old days :
Oh my god, this short-movie is such a piece of art. i never played BF2 but i wish i had. you are absolutely right about the evolution of the battlefield franchise and its sad to see in which direction it is heading, especially BF4, and all its huge problems. i fear that this game is going the cod way, all the way down the drain and we'll all finally lost one of the best team based fps ever! i feel it coming, but i strongly try to deny it :-(
thank you, for 25 min of subtle and well made, clever entertainment!
i really apprecciate it!
LOL! I remember this time - when battlefield was real, and now it's Michel Bay movie.
So depressingly true, thanks for reminding why I stopped playing BF3. Having great fun with BF2 again, so many great mods :-)
Josias Machado
Yes, they've closed the official servers, but I'm mostly playing single player with mods such as *Special Ops Warfare*, *Alpha Project*, and *Project Reality*. You wouldn't believe what these guys are doing with good old BF2!
It's still possible to play online though because unofficial servers have been set up. And from what I understand there are quite a few people playing. Check here: www.battlelog.co/
Do you have a copy of BF2?
This describes my feelings so hard.
The Battlefield Modern Combat 2 is my favorite. Thinking is it included here?
Faction specific weapons - yes, I really miss those.
I don't like that multi-role mixed class system either. No clue why the still insist on it instead of creating very specific classes again that can be properly balanced - especially for teamwork.
One of the best machinamas I ever saw. Great work !
missing battlefield 2 🙁
It is in that video because I found it while shooting the video. Also it is in as a example to show how many glitches there are in BF3 as well as that the netcode is the worst in the history of battlefield.
its funny cause continuity wise BF3-BF4 is set before BF2 so the MEC wasn't even formed yet the devs said that its the events leading up to BF2
Eity Galili if you even bothered to google what i said you would find that the devs have said that BF 3-4 are prequels to BF2 so no im pretty sure you're dumb you snot nosed little shit
I just watch this for first time in 2016, this is really good Machinima, you did a great job
I'm 17 years old, and envied my father whenever he played Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield 2.
I finally got to play them about three years before the release of the first Bad Company game. I remember seeing Bad Company 1's trailers everywhere, but due to "budget constraints", I didn't have a console to play it with. I did manage to get Bad Company 2 for PS3 a year after it's release, and it was really good. I expected BF3 to bring the best of both worlds, but this video pretty much sums it up.
This is a pretty awesome way to convey how many of us BF2 and 2142 veterans felt about DICE's additions and subtractions to the franchise to make BF3.
I miss my Battlefield 2 Days with my Squad...
Thanks! :)
I know that it is controversial, but that was the goal - to get new and old players talk about where the BF franchise came from, what it is today, and where it is going.
back to karkand.
Hab's mir jetzt insgesamt 3 Mal angeschaut und muss sagen, es ist wirklich ein Meisterwerk. Ist ein BF4 Crossover in Planung? Viele der hier angesprochenen Dinge sind in BF4 wieder vorhanden.
There are quite a few different versions of this song. The one I used is called "We found house by knife party & ricky romero". Just search this here on YT.
"Not an army, lone wolves" - "that's what you get without a commander" - I love the sort of comedy towards BF3 in this machinima :)
The veterans are not the ones who go lone wolf, killing others with a simple knife. True veterans work with their squads to accomplish a mission.
I feel sad although i have never played BF2.Very impressive and very well done.It almost brought a tear to my eye.Thank you FEAR Productions once again.
While BF2 is one of the better titles of the series, there were still some things there that really rustled my jimmies:
- Most mid range engagements turned into mindless nade wars for one-shot galores. You will learn to fear the word "Kumbula" on Karkand.
- Claymores on top of ladders, with the wookies on top hogging a supply crate to make sure no one would ever get up there.
- Claymore-fu, or the art of dropping a claymore when someone was in your face, ensuring they would die even if you were killed.
- Getting knifed from 5 metres away.
- Skilled PKM users : deadlier than your team's shitty lone-wolf Snipers.
- Fighting commanders who weren't commanding.
- Air superiority decided the outcome of the game, because AA was near-useless. Fixed AA were a death-trap and too few maps had AA vehicles (which had shit range anyway). Only exception was Daqing, if you had the Chinese mobile AA.
I still like bf2 . It has what many people would want in a battlefield game. Mods, teamwork, Squad, zombies, battlefield 3 mod even, this is one of my favourite games.
Hope DICE sees this video.
Dude you have no idea how awesome this is and how awesome of a message this is, gonna watch this daily now. :)
Thank you for making this! This brings back memories!
