Download Wrapper Battlefield 2 1.1

The sequel to the blockbuster online multiplayer war franchise, EA and developer Digital Illusions are taking the battle to another realm with a modern-war era edition. Players from the United States, China and the Middle East Coalition (all armed with realistic armarments and vehicles) will all be represented in harrowing battles for a massive number of online players (more than any of the previous Battlefield titles). The new game engine offers vastly improved visuals, physics and sound, plus a dynamic stage limiting system that scales the size of the online battlefield according to how many players are logged on.




Personal Notes:
Excellent performance on my system. No graphical glitches.
60+ fps on highest settings with x4 Anti-Aliasing.

THIS PORT RUNS FASTER THAN THE CIDER VERSION!

Works great with both the full version (complete collection) and the demo version! Single player works as it should on both versions.

If you use the steam version of the game, replace the original "BF2.exe" with the one in the link below to be able to launch the game without the Steam client. This will improve stability and performance overall. This is by no means a fix for those that want to obtain the game illegally! You need a LEGAL copy of the game!

Installing mods:
(You need the full version of the game in order to install mods)

NOTICE: Before installing mods, a fresh installation of Battlefield 2 needs to be done in your wrapper. Do not use a separate wrapper to install Battlefield 2 if you plan on installing mods as the installer for mods/patches will not recognize the registry files for the game otherwise. (Since they aren't created if you simply move the game files from a separate wrapper or from windows)

If you can't install the game in your wrapper, I have provided a set of registry files that you can use so that patches and mod installers will think you installed a certain version of the game. I didn't include registries in the wrapper itself as some patches and mod installers require a certain version of Battlefield 2. Therefore, it makes sense to let you guys decide what you need. Version 1.4, 1.41, and 1.5 registries with instructions are included in the download:

Known Issues:
-Controls can't be changed in-game. The controls configuration file for Battlefield 2 is kept in your main documents folder. Locate the "Controls.con" file. You can change the values in that file.

An alternate configuration file is available via this link: http://www.mediafire...ua78jfz953ru3b4

The alternate configuration changes the primary fire (trigger) and Alt fire (ADS, aka aim down the sights) with "Z" and "X" respectively. This makes it more comfortable for macbook users.

Simply replace the original "Controls.con" file with the one provided in the link. Make sure you launch the game once before doing so as the game needs to create the profiles.

-Online seems to work but is quite finicky and crashes often. When you create an account, if it seems to hang or gives you an error, chances are that it worked anyway. Proceed to logging in and it should work. Turn off punkbuster right away, as not doing so will crash the game upon connecting to a sever. However, even with attempting to connect to a non-punkbuster server, the game crashes for me. I still haven't been able to connect to a server yet.* (not many punkbusterless servers around anyway) For the best experience, play singleplayer. I can tell you from my experience that the game is much more stable offline.

*People have reported being able to play online, so you may have better luck than me
also the mods I'm using are probably contributing to the problems I'm having


Installation:
Step 1: acquire the game (rather through the disc version or download via steam)
Step 2: install the game (using a separate wrapper is recommended)
Step 3: move the main game folder titled "EA GAMES" or just "Battlefield 2" (depending on the version you have) to your desktop
Step 4: open the EA GAMES folder and replace the BF2.exe with a cracked version if needed
Step 5: navigate to c_drive/program files/ (inside the wrapper) and insert the EA GAMES folder
Step 6: make sure the path to the BF2.exe is correct
Step 7: launch the game and enjoy

Version 1.5 of the game is recommended as it supports widescreen play. (Although for single player, version 1.41 has a better AI commander) The steam version uses 1.5 and cannot be downgraded to 1.41. Use the disc version of the game for the most options as it can be upgraded to either 1.41 or 1.5 if you so choose.
