BF2 vanilla, SF, AF, and EF all work fine on Windows 7 Ultimate. I have found no compatibility problems or problems patching. The only issue I'm having it that my joystick doesn't work now. I have up to date drivers, etc. Other games recognize it still, but once i load BF2, the joystick disconnects from windows.
Windows 7 doesn't give all the freedoms that XP had. It will only recognize a generic force feedback driver instead of the driver i'm intentionally trying to install for the joystick. It keeps telling me that my current driver is good enough. Windows 7 doesnt let you force a driver install, you have to use the one they suggest. Disabling it and manually adding the device with the correct driver only works for a split second. It keeps rolling the driver over to the generic windows one.
Also, after installing BF2, somehow all the single player modes include a 64 man map. It never used to. That was something you had to manually crack.
