Most popular BF2 mods

[zephyr89s]

What are the most popular bf2 mods right now? PR has to be one of them. Black Sand Studio has a ton of 'em. BF2 assault, eve of destruction, op peacekeeper, and US intervention just to name a few. AIX 2 maybe? you tell me.

Servers playing BattleField 2 | Server / Player Search | Game-Monitor.com :: Server Search, Monitoring, Stats and more

Go there, select a mod from the drop down list called Mod/Expansion then hit search.

It doesn't have all the BF2 mods but it has most of the main ones that people play/ed.

Bottom line is that Project Reality is the only populated BF2 mod, the others are barely played by comparison.

In order of highest popularity to lowest based on this week's average players.

Project Reality
FH2
POE2

Past that the averages are too low to really look at...

I'm not sure where Rhino gets his weekly averages from but right now (a relatively quiet time) I see:
- 290 on PR
- 5 on FH2
- 1 on POE2

FH2 seems to be developing an entire European theater of war at the moment so when that's released they might regain a player base: http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/m...p?lang=english

POE2 development has apparently ceased: http://www.pointofexistence.com/foru...howtopic=18961

They both had a decent amount of players in their heyday though, as well as DCon, USI and CQB.

BF2's an old game now, theres really only PR worth playing,

i tried FH2, but i just found myself wishing it was PR with WW2 weapons (Which would be awseome btw)

It's not that simple because:

1. If you base it on the age of BF2 you're ignoring half life which came out in November 1998, it's most popular mod Counter-Strike (yes I know it's official now) still has more players then any other online shooter.

2. How much you like a mod is subjective, but based on quality mods like FH2 and POE2 are definitely worth trying.

People tend to play what other people play, so based on that it's more likely someone will bother to download PR instead of another mod which has relatively little players.

Still doesn't explain why the other mods lost most of their popularity and PR survived.

Fair enough. FH2 is one of the more similar BF2 mods to PR in that it's trying to be fairly realistic and the devs pay a lot of attention to detail.

Pr survived because it offers some thing you can't get any where else.

Don´t forget AIX, every single time I go on there is a server almost full to 44 players and another couple occupied quite a bit.
