BF2, i miss you so much
7
You can still play it if you want :)

I've tried logging in so many times and it says can't retrieve info.
Flying helis in BF2 was amazing, the feel was great, in bf4 its terrible
2
It's because Gamespy's servers are shut down. You gotta head to BF2 Battlelog and download the community-made launcher to login in BF2 so you can spam your grenades on Karkand inf only all over again :P
2
holy fuck, yes! thanks man!
3
It will never be the same :(
1
How so ? It's still the same game mate.
1
Is it just me or are the heli's flight characteristics shitty in BF3 & 4 compared to BF2?
2
No 2142!?
5
I know. I'm not sure what happened to it :(. I found this box of my old games when I was looking for something earlier. But I know it isn't all of them. Possibly in another box.
3
Or a digital purchase :( I hate origin...
2
Honestly, battlefield special forces was the best expansion ever for battlefield, the uniqueness of every map really showed and ever map had a different feel to it.
Nothing will beat the epic night fights on Devil's perch.
5
Thats the TRUE Battlefield Experience. Nothing like Bf2, Vietnam or 2142!
The new ones are just "meh" but the ugly duckling Hardline is NOT a Battlefield game. Its just a marketing strategy.
4
Hardline is...an expansion pack at best. Glad I played the beta and realized it wasn't worth buying....at any price.

When EA was good, and does are the originals not even the platinum edition.

I bought my first computer for BF1942. While in high school I worked so much overtime as a produce boy at a Safeway. I ended up quitting a week after I got my computer because I was so burnt out. Saving about $2000 on $8 an hour part time was rough.
2
I cant believe BF2 was 10 years ago...
2
I still have all of my copies too! Damn those were great games.

I loved Battlefield 2. It was my favourite battlefield and one of my favourite games of all time. So many hours sank into maps such as Karkand, Jalalabad and Dragon Valley.
It had it's flaws, but it was such a fun game to play and gave a 'true' battlefield experience.
1
Karkand inf only... Dat grenade spam O.o
1
Yeah, that was insane! It was a case of chuck all your grenades before you die! If you had a good Squad leader, he could sometimes get behind the first cap and take some bases.

my teenage years in a nutshell.
I remember when the BF 1942 demo dropped in august of 02 and I played it all summer with my friend(wake island baby!) the next decade + has been filled with Battlefield for me.
Nothing will ever compare to 1942 and BF2 imo.. the nostoglia.
1
Thanks for not using the word "gem" or the nostalgia-jerk would have gone all out. Remember, these games had flaws too. Take off your teenage-years-goggles.
1
Of course they had flaws. But they were more fun than the current games. I'm sure this was in some of these guys teenage years, but not quite mine.
2
Yep, true. The hype for BF2 right on release day was way bigger than the almost none-existent hype for hard-line.
1
Id take BF4 over any of them except BC2 and vietnam
1
IMO, Battlefield 2 is still the best one so far, because I still play it to this day lol yes they had flaws, but Battlefield 3 and the newer ones don't live up to Battlefield 2 awesomeness.
1
Battlefield 2 was probably the best one in its time, yes. But universally, I think BF3 is the best one yet.
1
I have BF:H on PC DVD it's like 5 DVD's.
It was on sale at walmart. I still feel ripped off.

I never played these games. Would be so happy if EA re-released them with a few dedicated servers for a few quid each.
0
pretty sure EA made Battlefield 1942 free to play a few years ago, I downloaded and there was a huge amount of people playing.
Haven't followed up on it since then though.
2
The gamespy master server was shut down but you can get a patch that makes the server list populate again normally. Don't let anyone tell you that game is dead. Desert Combat and Forgotten Hope mods still each have a server with a dedicated community that fills it up every day.
2
Ah Desert Combat and Vietnam mods, where being a good pilot meant something.

I miss Vietnam. Nothing quite like riding in a huey blasting jimi hendrix while hauling ass down jungle rivers.
Here's a story for you then.
Back in the day when Vietnam was at it's peak, me and a friend of mine was playing on a server doing all kinds of guffy stuff. We were both driving around in a jeep blasting out 'Surfin' Bird' off road in the terrain when all of a sudden I could hear a faint sound of 'Ride of the Valkyries' coming in our general direction. Then all of a sudden, this big massive armored vehicle jumped into the air from an high hill directly in front of us. We shit ourselves (not literally of course), I bailed out the jeep while my friend didn't react fast enough to make any sort judgement on what to do i.e. turn, bail etc. The Armored vehicle landed on top of the jeep and made it blow up then carried on driving on as normal.
Was one of the funniest moments of playing BF: Vietnam, was such a good laugh. Also, the helicopter physics were quite fun.
Did you ever use the Huey's tow function to lift a river boat into the sky and jump around on the boat? Such a fun game.
Bloody hell, I can't remember being able to do that! Been such a long time since I played that game. :(
Was an awesome game for sure. Had a squad I used to play BF games with all the time. One of the guys would run bot servers. We would all team up against ridiculous numbers of bots and raise hell. Was great fun. I really miss the old BF games =/
