EA and DICE have announced that Battlefield 2 has hit the grand old age of three years and is still going strong as one of the most popular online games. Even better, a new update is on the way:

With over 15 million player accounts being created since release, Battlefield 2 is still going strong. On the forums we often see discussions about whether there will ever be another update for the game. Well, today we are happy to announce that we are working on an update for Battlefield 2. We are planning to provide an open beta in the near future and we hope you’ll give us your feedback before final release; so watch out for that.

Great to see long term commitment from EA on a title. There's quite a few outstanding problems and bugs, so this patch is no doubt hugely anticipated by players (and I can guarantee the server administrators and clamouring for it as well).

Oh yeh, we're going to be doing a BF2 competition soon, revolving around highest ranked AusGamers members. So if you have skillz get ahead of the game and sign up your BF2 username now.

Edit:
I just checked my stats. I haven’t logged in since 17/9/07 (not as long as I thought) but I'd still be 7th on that list.

Put more weight on K/D ratio!
I'd do all right then.

K/D Ratio 1.8114

If you want to see where you rank:

1) Put your BF2 nick into your account options

2) go to http://www.ausgamers.com/games/stats/bf2stats/ and search for your nick in the LHS search box

3) go back out to the leaderboard and your name should be there

got runner up in the initial $35k tourny for this, and that was enough of this game.

Awesome :) i win on suicides 903 WOOT!! lol

when I started playing inf-only this became a neccesary.

with no vehicles, suiciding and respawning further up the road can give an advantage over the unsuspecting enemy. it was annoying seeing team mates waste a minute or two slogging it from one end of the map to another when they could have been there in mere seconds.

damn statswhores :P

i would be teh winnah if i didnt stop playing 2.5 years ago

Put us in the leaderboard trog top 300 in Australia last I checked

put yourself in

seems that your nickID disappears upon saving you details

I can't play this game anymore.. though the commander aspect seriously rocked (sucked in public servers though). it'd be good to see the commander role pop up in more games in the future
