BF2 is and still is the best Battlefield ever made. Everything else has just been high end graphic slop. BFBC2 came close, but sadly fell short with the multi-player. The campaign was the best shooter campaign ever made, imo.
If anyone tries BF2 today, it will be shit because all the private servers are dogshit and filled with either cheater or nade spamming.
If you ever had the chance to play this game back in the day, you wouldn't be saying this. The games guns felt clunky, but that's what gave it balance. You could just be some expert sharp shooter with any gun, you had to adapt to each gun differently. Ranking system was actually good and gave the most meaning from any military shooter I've ever played. All the badges, emblems, and ribbons all required high level skill and time investment to achieve. Players stood out from more than just kills. Squads felt like squads. Maps were amazing. Vehicles all felt good, but no too over powered. Players could host their own lobbies. The expansion were all amazing and added so much to the game. Anyone who says BF2 is trash is fucking retarded and has no clue what their talking about. This game came our a little before Modern Warfare 1, which didn't even come close to how to BF2. BF2 was for men and MW1 was for boys. This coming from a kid who could played either BF2 or MW1 and I chose BF2 because I actually had a brain. Really the best way to put it, is CoD was for low IQ console peasants.
