BF2 and non-EA/DICE maps

A really quick one, if you don't mind - 'been Googling but all I can find with "BF2, maps, installing, tutorial" are tutorials about how to make and/or edit maps, not simply load new SP/MP maps.

I've just downloaded the El Alamein map & and the Fortress map by Hayabusa, both with bot support, to play in SP on the lappy.

How do I go about installing these, then?

It should be easy really as both maps normally come with an installer, i.e. a setup.exe or something.

What exactly did you download?

This is the best site for singleplayer info/news.

Fortress (Bot Support)

Can't try to install these until tonight. They probably do come with a self-install, I just don't know if I'll need to invoke them as a mod or start BF2 'as normal' (and then they would show in the map selection GUI after selecting SP mode?).

El Alamein had an auto-install, and works fine. Don't bother with it in SP, it's feckin' HUGE (unless you want to train flying stuff & dogfighting, in which case it's quite good and the bots are savage). Would make a good 64 MP map though.

No auto-install for fortress, so I'll dab with that at the week-end or whenever.

Anyhow, I now know how it works (installing new maps) and what have you, so thanks all the same.

If the downloaded files are zip'ed then they will need to be extracted to something like this:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Levels
