BF2, still worth getting into?

[DragunovHUN]

I'm looking at the BF2 complete collection bundle that has all the expansion packs. I'm planning on playing Project Reality. Are there still people playing or are the servers deserted?

UPDATE: Game arrived, please read post 10

I played it around a month ago, and there were plenty of people to game with.

Sounds good, thanks. Anyone play Project Reality?

BF2 is still populated. heck even Battlefield 1942 is populated.

In the name of all that is holy, never buy EA bundles. They're made of suffering and pain. Their registration system is a mess. After 2 hours of creating accounts and getting stuff rejected, i still can't get the two booster packs to work.

Why can't they have just one god damn account like Steam?

Plently of servers.. But download pr and you'll most likely never go back to bf2.

There is of course the downside that, as with any old multiplayer game, those still playing it are the dedicated and good ones. The learning curve will be steep, especially on a game like BF2 with some decent tactics and map learning to pick up.

Good luck!
