Some one needs to put the shock paddles on BF2 because this game is dieing. Its not only dieing, but it's changed quit a bit. I finally came to this conclusion after I set up a server. I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to fill. For example, last night I did a server search with "not empty" off. There were 23 servers on Midnight Sun with 0 players... A BF2 server these days is NOT worth it. U want a server? There's LOADS of empty ones, just pick you're map...

I can distinctly remember early last summer, to mid winter when I did a server search during the week between 6 - 12 central time over 1000 "active"  servers would come up. Now its between 400 - 700.

Some other things I've noticed was ass monkey admins. In its prime, admins with a chip on there shoulder was few, and far between. Now I'm kicked on an average on 2x a night. Hrmmm. There is also allot more 24/7 single map servers, other than Strike. Which may be a good thing. Also, any one remember to the "Layed Back Crew" server? Where'd thay go?

EA/DICE may have been the cause of this, constantly changing the game play of BF2. 2142 didn't help much eather... Who's to say where this game will be a year from now today. Will U be on?

and who the hell plays midnight sun?  It was never a popular map.  type in wake or sharqi or dalian or kubra or karkand or Jalalabad, you get the drift.

I play BF2 : SF on infantry only servers.  It doesn't get any more limited on server choices than that!  You guys should give infantry only a try, its really fun.  (Infantry only = no vehicles)

I havn't played much BF2 since 2142... but I'll probably go back to it once the novelty wears off.

This is just one of the sad happenings that are appearing. It use to be that every map was getting played because people were trying them out, then Karkand and the rest of the MEC maps took everyone by storm.

About them empty servers. It's like some CS turd got BF2 and AF, played a round of midnight sun, and a few of his friends thought they should make a server with it and never bother playing. Well guess what, no one is going to wait and sit for it to start, so no wonder why it's empty. That's a message to everyone slapping together some server and never playing it. No one is going to play it, and it's a waste of your money. I see this with all the booster maps.

Agreed!
There are plenty of servers around! And lots of players! I am happy to see low ranked players, this means the started with BF2 only recently, so the game has new fans!

I could never understand why Midnight Sun wasnt popular. I love it, in fact I got my highest BRS of the 3 AF maps on it. And the "muscle car" is a good laugh

All booster pack maps are barely played at all, despite a lot of people claiming to like some/all of the maps. But, at the end of the day, if it aint karkand, or wake or sharqi...then the general attitude is to stay clear of it. Oh, and Jalalalalalalalalalalabad now too.

Yeah, but lots of people make new accounts also..so just because they have a low rank doesn't mean they are new to the game.

I wouldn't worry too much.  This game has prove it's worthiness.  I say in today's age, if a game makes it over a year, then it's going to roll for a while.   FFS, there's still 250 people who play Ghost Recon ONE (ffs!) EVERYDAY.  Go figure on that shiz!

Edit.....For those who don't know, Ghost Recon 1 came out in what 2001?  OMG, that game has liver spots and a bad back.

EA downloader is the reason why AF maps are empty.  When you charge for add-ons, less people are able and willing to spend more money to play it.  Vanilla bf2 servers are alive and well

I remember Laid Back Crew and their server. They were whiny crybabys. Especially when I heard them talk over voip. I pretty much quit that server when I was banned by like norm or something for getting in the chopper before they did.
