After only roughly 18 months of play is the BF2 gaming community finally getting smaller?

My opinion is definitely a YES. From my modest DSL connection at home I see only 300+ servers a night now. Whereas months before BF2142 came out there were routinely over 1000+ available to my DSL connection.

Also it seems that WOW is only getting bigger. Went from 5 million players to roughly 7 million in the last year.

Don't get me wrong... I am a loyal BF2 fan. I love the realistic modern day battle and the chaos that occurs during attacks on a closely fought over flag.

I must admit I have never played WOW. Furthermore, I have not bought BF2142 either.

Am I missing something? Has the mass of the BF2 players community simply just disconnected and started down another fun path of online gaming?

There should be one more Answer: "Yes. Because of other reasons."

Kinda weird but more people still play BF2. Go on xfire and most of the people play BF2, and all the good servers are always full so no.

Funnily enough I seem to be getting more severs since 2142, not less. And there's at least two pages of full servers. I suppose it just depends when you look at them doesn't it.

Today I had to go have a peek on UBI. 177 people still playing Ghost Recon 1, lol. Granted it is the greatest FPS classic IMO, but still it's a little obsolete by now. Not to mention RIDDLED with hackers. But for being 5 years old, I gotta give Red Storm credit. The hit detection in a 5 year old game > BF2.

Using Kali software you can still see people playing Duke Nukem 3D. I think all the custom maps makes for a tremendously re-playable game.

Before I got into BF2 I was big into MOHAA and CODUO. But the hackers took over and new BF2 career points system caught my eye. I will be here playing BF2 until the last server goes down.

yeah stable, bf2 has alot more servers up than 2142, if anything 2142 is dieing out .

Go here and do a search for BF2 servers. I just found almost 5000. A search for 2142 + 2142(Titan) yielded only 2567 servers.

Stable, I don't now what DSL connection u got, but there are still 4000 - 5000 BF2 servers.
If u mean the SF servers, yes they are dying with just 300 - 400 servers.

I play Bf2 for over a year now and maybe i quit when i'm a general.
Still love to play it and i don't think it's boring. Get into a clan and get new friends.

I should have mentioned that I filter servers for same version. Lately it appears to fluctuate from a low of 250+ servers with v1.41 to 700+ on weekends.

The other day I had 800+ ranked servers come up in my BF2 list!! I was surprized cause I have been seeing 380+ lately!!

I would have to say stable. . . Its been over a year and a half since the game came out, and people are definitley still playing. 2142 is enjoyable, but I still prefer BF2!

I also have filter on for ranking, same version, same mod and punkbuster.
Got maps on from big to small, still got 2500 servers.

I use v. 1.41, so i don't know what ur doing wrong.

Alot of people aren't playing as much because 1.41 made the game terribly choppy for them. I can only play a couple rounds and I have to go play FEAR or COD2. Horrible gameplay now.

Stable.

The grease is now trimmed off, moving to 2142; while us solid flesh and fat remain on Battlefield 2.

Why is there no 'Yes, because EA sucks donkey balls' option? I would have thought that would be the first, not 'the mod that everyone is NOT flocking too'.

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
