Whats a Good Game like BF2?

There are games that try to be like it but none have been as good. Even bug ridden BF2 has been better than everything else that has come after it.

ARMA 1/2
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Frontlines: Fuel of War

Just to name a few. Nothing else has come close to being as fun.
 
Are there still good servers on which to play ETQW? I loved that but haven't installed it since installing Win7 (and long before that even..)

I'm not sure if you're making a comparison here, but if you are, FC2 and L4D / L4D2 are nothing alike.

L4D2 is a great co-op game with a somewhat satisfying single player aspect as well. It's nothing like BF2 or any of the "open area" FPS games, which can be a nice change. The fact that you need your entire time with you to survive, and have to go back to help someone up if they're incapacitated keeps you from simply charging ahead and gunning through everything in a frenzy. I also find that like Counter-Strike: Source, the weapons in the game feel "realistically powerful" compared to games like BF2 and COD4.

Speaking of CS: S, that game has kept me coming back for years. Even though it's also long in the tooth, the number of mods and servers with various rules can change the game play immensely without any effort on your part. For example, I've played the vanilla game (mostly cs_office) for years, and recently got bored with it. So, I started playing on a gun game server. When I got bored with that, I started playing on a mini game server (air hockey, moving train-top knife combat, jumping puzzles, custom weapon arenas, jet packs, etc.). Now I'm taking a break from that and playing a vanilla server again.

Team Fortress 2 might also be worth a look if you want a change of pace.

Finally, and oddly enough, I'd suggest looking into Fallout 3. It's an RPG, not a shooter, but it still has plenty of shooter elements. It's far from the best game ever created, but it has a decent-sized world with lots of guns, melee weapons, and things to kill. Best of all, once you're out of the starting area, you're free to go anywhere and do anything.

You do know about Battlefield Bad Company 2 don't you?

There will be a beta starting in two weeks. The beta will feature a game mode called Rush, but the final game will include "regular" conquest, also.

Is it anything like BF2?

How come none of the newer battlefield games have supplanted BF2, theres that 1943 one, there was bad company 1, why are people still talking about BF2? I havent played it in quite a long time so im a bit out of the loop for battlefield stuff.

Why are you so obsessed with this game? It just a console port. No public dedicated servers, no console, no prone, no mods, 32 players, and more reasons make this another slap in the face. Sure, they try to market this as a PC game but it's not.

re: Is it anything like BF2? Watch the videos at the link. As far as gameplay goes, here are the major things missing from BFBC2 vs. BF2: Prone, Jets, 32 max vs 64, commander. The rest is pretty much there.

Those games you list were never released on the PC. BFBC2 is the first BF game released on the PC since BF2142 (2005?). BF1943 is now scheduled for July of this year.

I love BF2, and I have had the same question as the OP for a long time. I happen to think my answer was the best answer to the OP's question. (I disregarded BF2142, because it's about as "long in the tooth" as BF2)

BTW, there WILL BE public dedicated servers, and I know several "clans" that will be renting one (the same as they did for BF2). No public SERVER FILES means people will not be able to host a server on their own server box, or on a local PC, for LAN games. I never played LAN games anyway.

Which means the dedicated servers themselves are private. They aren't public dedicated servers.

I tried this game and it's one of the worst online experiences I've ever had. This game is absolutely terribad.

haha... not man enough to handle the extreme nature that is Insurgency!!! It is pretty fucked as a noob, though. Mostly you run about 20 feet and get picked by someone you didn't see and respawn until you figure the game out.


Anyway, to OP: Forgotten Hope 2 mod for BF2!

As long as people understand that just like BF2, when they buy their copy of the BFBC2 and take it home, and go on-line to play there will be a list of "public" servers that they can look through, and select one to play on, without having to pay extra fees, join a clan, or rent their own server.
