Hey guys just found this by accident the other day and OMG it is so kick ass. it is a mod made for BF2 and it called point of existence or PoE2 http://www.pointofexistence.com/
i finally was able to get the 1.4 patch working last night to be able to play regular vanila bf2 but then i found this it comes zipped or they had one server to DL the client but i think it was 1 gig down load. funny dl'ed it fast than that darn 1.4 patch i been trying weeks to dl.
But this game has re-invigerated me. i thinkit can best be explained as like desert combat was for bf 1942. and it got a lot of stuff i was missing in bf2. No assessts so there is no predator drones so it truely hard to tell when enemys are close unless and friendy spots them. now there is artillery mobile and ground based. they mobile PZH-2000 is way cool.
http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/news73/pzh2k.jpg and the brought back the binoculars to spot enemys with.
The units look really nice and have some sweet weapons( armies are germany vs ukraine )
check out this auto grenade launcher: http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/News59/AGS17.jpg
and of corse you have to have the barret light 50 :http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/news66/g82.jpg
the battle field are much more open terrain and farms you would expect in europe. so there not alot of close quarters until you get into the small town/villages. but running a squad threw the corn/wheat fields almost as high as your head was a blast. and the fireing dosent use BF2 random cone fireing so the gun are alot more accurate so squad team work is esential. ( best sqaud map is called fallen ) it a map where a US chopper crashes in middle of carpathian mountains/forest and the germans are rushing to get there before the ukrainians do. its all infantry map and a forest so planty of cover and concelment. and squad flanking is a must. truely awsome map.
now if your a armor freak you love this game aswell. there are alot more tanks in this game on some maps one time we had i think 8-10 tanks rolling in colums formation up a road until we got ingagde by the enemy. they sounds of the vehicles are so much better and the screen used to shoot looks sweet. the tank battle where very big and brutal most tanks where blown up in 2 shots depending on the angles.
Can comment to much on air power but the game dose have fighters theres like 2-3 on each side and 2 helos i think each side but these are my favorites.

and the british tornado: http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/News37/Tornado.jpg
and of corse the russian Hind :http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/News59/Hind.jpg
The maps like i explained above are alot of open areas. But the also add weather and visual efects i wish they had in bf2. they have artic/snow maps ( with are fun watching the tank slide around) and they have evening maps not to dark like in special forces but just enough to make you squint alittle looking a little clearer haha.
Now the few draw back i saw where: with no assets to blow up the covert ops guy is semi useless but have binoculars to spot enemys( bad thing is bye the time you spot some thing and the mobil arty shoots most targets have moved on. but its still good way to mark and call for fire on a village or a bridge) the anti tank weapons have no fire and guide ability they are mostly like Rpg's but shoot fast so you can take cover quickly.
So if you guys are interested in giving this a try let me know when you get it loaded up and we can try and get on the same map toghther as the team work / squad stuff is needed.
