Hi all! Just built a new rig in prep for BF:BC2 and STO. I'm a former BF2 player that got out of gaming for several years. Used to play competitively mainly as a copter pilot on TWL. Before that, my favorite game I played competitively was RB6: Raven Shield and Ghost Recon. I also currently play MW2 but only on the xbox. I'll tag my rig's specs at the end, but it can play pretty much anything. Are there any BF2 style games that include copters that have plenty of people playing multiplayer right now? If not, what would you suggest I play to keep me busy for a month? I've been having fun back in BF2 but would like to know where everyone who used to compete there has moved on to. Long story short, where's all the action right now for BF2 style games? Thanks!

BF 2 Forgotten Hope is the best option :P, but if you got tired of BF 2, then Team Fortress 2 or Killing Floor (pretty realistic and harder).

Left 2 Die? :P But I doubt, L4D/L4D2 and CoD4, are what he's looking for.

Arma 2 is very different from BF2, as it's more of a simulator than a fun fps shoot em up that the battlefield series are. If you go in expecting you can run off and rack up kills you'll find out the hard way. The gameplay will feel clunky, but in real life nobody can sprint around wielding SAWs and get kills. Also this game you'll probably be facing AI in scenarios, more often than enemy players. (not trying to make it seem like I dislike arma 2, I like it, and personally hate BF2/COD etc, as it's nowhere near the realism I prefer).

Then try CSS. One shot to the head (with no helmet) is death. With a helmet, it needs to be a direct shot from a AWP or another strong rifle.

The thing about online games, you need other people to be online to play them. Not many people play Crysis Wars anymore.

Although I haven't played in a few months I'm pretty sure its not completely dead. It may not be extremely populated but finding a game shouldn't be a problem. On weekends it gets busier.

Are there many people playing Quake Wars: Enemy Territory anymore? That's like BF2 in the Quake universe, but I have no idea what the game population is like anymore.

You may or may not like Battlefront 2. It's alright. Though personally I prefer Jedi Academy multiplayer. Lightsaber only matches for the win!

There wasn't too many playing it to begin with. Though I loved that game and spent alot of time with it back in the day.
