    About mods... What are they exactly (sorry if I should know) lol.

    I know they change the gameplay and vechiles but how do you go about running these ? Like im guessing you would need a whole server to have a mod running and every player would use that too ? Or are they even played online ?

    Im sorry if I should know but I don't so I thought I would ask you guys cause some of the mods look pretty cool and I would like to try them.. Like the reality one !

    All mods download and install into the Mods/Bf2 folder from there in game go to Community and theres a list of the mods you have installed. Launch one to play it.


    Some mods are server side ie you dont need anything to play it.
    Most mods are not and change the game to a different settings. To test one download it and install it, the website of the team who made it will have a list of servers running it, you have to join one of those to play it.

    basically a mod is a modification (duh). what that means is that some rogue programmers out there take the engine made by DICE and make a whole new game out of it. so the game has all the physics and graphics etc. of BF2, but has new gameplay elements and player models etc.

    depends on the mod. i doubt most of them do SP purely because dealing with AI etc. is a mess, especially since DICE/EA never released a proper SDK for bf2

    You don't need a mod for that, you can just edit a file to enable that.

    You do need a mod though to enable 64 bots with a map bigger than 16-players.


    http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_9.html
    Increasing Singleplayer Bots

    To increase the number of bots used in singleplayer mode, go to your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\AI directory and open the file aidefault.ai with Notepad or Wordpad (make sure to create a backup copy of it first). Read the instructions in the file which basically involves placing the word REM in front of each of the first 5 lines starting with 'aiSettings.set', then removing the REM's in front of the next 4 lines starting with 'aiSettings.set'. Change the number at the end of the aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32 line to determine the number of bots to use (e.g. aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64 for 64 bots). Note that more bots can really stress your system and hence destabilize it, causing a crash back to desktop - particularly for those with older CPUs. For example, 64 bots on most systems will cause a crash.
