Its bugged me for awhile. Why does the server browser have a filter for game mode but only one mode (conquest) to choose from? Its been the same in 1942 & Vietnam. Its like they are teasing us. What game modes if any would suit BF2?
Would capture the flag work with tanks and planes?
How about a titan mode with air craft carriers?

I think CTF could work. Only jeeps can carry the flags and would have to be protected. Could work on a long map like Dragon.

Escort. An APC is carrying important personnel. When damaged it doesn't blow up, it stops, ejecting the occupant onto foot who must then be capped like a flag in conquest. This VIP is a randomly selected player and is lightly armed.

I like the way BF2 works, but I think there is scope for so much more than just flag capping.
I did a search and nothing came up. Would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Escort sounds good. CTF sounds silly in a game like bf2 - you will have to rely on mods for that.

Did u ever play CTF in Berlin on DC...? Because it works fine there...I dont like about the randomly selected VIP to get the flag or something.

I believe the option is exclusively for mods. EA will do nothing with it.

like a last man standing? where it cycles through the kits each round; everyone is the same kit for that round, and you fight it out until there's one guy left.

that's definitely one way to prove you're the best. I think that would be friggin sweet.

then you could just hide somewhere and wait untill almost everybody is killed, kill the last person and you've won

CTF was in BF1942 (don't know about Vietnam) along with a few other modes. Try http://www.desert-conflict.org for a BF2 CTF mod although I've only ever found one European server with a decent amount of players on it.

Ive have never played counter strike. I have read enough about it to put me off it. I got the idea of VIP from Swat 4.

Just looked in the mirror and I am not hideously deformed, so obviously not your son.

Cheers for the comments. I suppose if you wanta play different modes, then play a different game, lol.
I think the titan mode in BF2142 could work in BF2 with 2 air craft carriers.

CTF is too much fun, those that played desert combat back in the day will agree with me.
Imagine a jeep running with a flag and everyone is after you that's fun

If I remember right there was a plan for a "Supply Lines" mode. I assumed this to mean something like the Onslaught mode in UT2004. In that mode there are two main bases with several different sub-bases between them. The object is to destroy their base. But you couldn't do it directly. You had to create a supply line by capturing a sub-base connected to your main base, then capturing another sub-base connected to that one and so on until you completed a "Supply Line" to their base - then you could attack it. The fun part of this is that there could be 1, 2, 3, or more different paths from one base to another. So while you are battling for one supply line you have to prevent the enemy from accessing your base through another supply line.
