All weapons

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file and only works in v1.0.0 of the game; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "unlocks.py" file in the "\ea games\battlefield 2\python\bf2\stats" folder. Change line 44 from "defaultUnlocks = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]" to "defaultUnlocks = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]". Note: Do not attempt this in multi-player mode at the risk of your account getting banned.

Easy scoring

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "scoringCommon.py" in the "\ea games\battlefield 2\mods\bf2\python\game\" folder. In this file you will see score list for different events, which can be changed as desired. Be careful, as it also works for enemy soldiers.

For example:

SCORE_KILL = 50
SCORE_TEAMKILL = 40

The same thing can be done for the "gpm_cq.py" file in the "ea games\battlefield 2\mods\bf2\python\game\gamemodes" folder.

For example:

TAKEOVERTYPE_CAPTURE = 100
TAKEOVERTYPE_NEUTRALIZE = 200

Hints

Windowed game

Start the game with the + fullscreen 0 command line parameter.

Faster game loading

Note: This procedure involves changing game files; create backup copies before proceeding. Enter the "\ea games\battlefield 2 demo\mods\bf2\movies" folder and delete or move all of its files. There will now be no ads or movies at the start of the game. This can also speed up the menu because there will be no movie in background. Note: This also can be done in the demo version of the game.

Rename your soldier

To rename your soldier, which the game by default does not allow you to do, you must edit the file "\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Profile.con" and change the first value, in the quotes, to whatever you wish your soldier's name to be. For example, change:

LocalProfile.setName "defaultPlayer"

to

LocalProfile.setName "''<your new name>''"

Wetlands: Crop circle

On the Wetlands map, there is a farm house and field in the center of the field. If you are in a plane or chopper you can see a crop circle there.

First weapon unlock

To unlock your first weapon you must gain 1,000 global points on ranked servers. You will not gain any of the points you have earned in a server unless you play until the round is over (until the map changes or a team wins). When you have reached over 1,000 global points in your BFHQ window, quit the game and return for a special pop up window congratulating you on your new rank and a message stating that you can now unlock your first weapon. Be very cautious on which one you unlock, as you will not be able to change it afterwards. The next rank requires 10,000 global points.

Engineers: Getting mines

Use your wrench to remove enemy and friendly mines to add them to your inventory.

Saving the Medic

When in a squad, it is very important to have a Medic with you. However when that Medic dies, all is not lost. Go over to your downed Medic and pick up his kit. Then, revive him. He will now have your old kit, but at least your squad will still have a Medic.

Squad formations

Two person squad: Squad leader is anti-tank and member is medic.

Three person squad: Squad leader can be anything. Must have anti-tank and medic in squad.

Four person squad: Squad leader should not be sniper at 4+. Squad numbers must have at least one (preferably two) medics and antitank.

Five person squad: The more medics the better. Anti-tank preferably, two must have at least one SL should not be anti-tank or medic. They are in the most danger and SL is most important.

Six person squad: Two medics, two AT, squad leader gets a freebie, and last member should be support.

Unlock weapons easily

To unlock all the special weapons, you can start different profiles for each of the kit types. This is much more efficient if you are not worried about rank, because the first weapon unlock comes at 1,000 points, but the second comes at 10,000 points. You can get all the kit unlocks before you even hit 10,000 total kills. Note: You must have multiple email accounts to be able to create more than one profile.

Easy points

When you have a certain amount of points on the game, keep getting more. When the end of a round is near, switch to the winning team and your score will be doubled.

Semi-invincible helicopter

On any map that has the Blackhawk (personnel with two guns) helicopter, form a squad that can have a medic as the pilot, two support as the gunners (to reload), and two engineers in the back dropping mines and repairing when the helicopter takes damage. The helicopter will become an almost invincible flying fortress of death. This is an easy way to get basic badges (Healing, Resupply, Piloting, Repair, etc.). Also, if the helicopter is about to explode, you can also bail and parachute for your Airborne badge.
BF2 core tester Redwood Shores.

Glitches

No reload for the USS Carrier AA Gun

When playing on a map with the USS Carrier, drop at least one Supply Box near the USS Carrier AA Gun (Anti-Aircraft). This will give you no reload time for the Stinger. Note: More than one Supply Box will make the ammunition regenerate faster.

Allied Intent Extended: The Push Day: Enter building

In the Allied Intent Extended mod, there is a map called The Push Day. In this map, follow the left side of the course if you are on the Mec squad side or the right side if you are the Chinese. You will reach what appears to be an apartment complex. There will be several balconies. Use your rope to rappel to the third story. When you get to the end of the rope you will always fall. If you approached this building from the Mec side it will be the first column of balconies that you need to rappel into. When you fall, press [Forward]. You will hit the first floor and can parachute inside the building. You are now impervious to bullets and artillery, while you can still shoot out and kill people. Do not walk out of the building's frame or you will have to redo everything.

Karkand: Roof access

On a server playing Karkand with Friendly Fire off, play as the Spec Ops kit. Walk over to the large building overlooking the train accident flag. Place all five of your C4 charges on the ground about ten feet from the building and run over onto them. When you are about one foot past the charges, detonate them while still running. This should give you enough momentum to launch yourself onto the roof. From the roof, find the slightly raised roof access door and get into a prone position. You should pass under the slightly elevated ground and be able to fire on the train accident flag without the enemy being able to see you.
