How to play Battlefield2 after the shutdown of Gamespy

From this thread it seems you have a few options you could try:

1. Redirect My Documents so it points to your homeserver using its IP-address like this: \\192.168.0.252\Data\Documents. In the BF2 folder there should now be a profile using the IP-address above. Note that BF2 can only read this info, it will not write it to dics. So you will need to edit the files by hand.

2. Redirect My Documents to something with 1 or more subfolders, which means a simple redirect to H:\ would not be enough. In the example My Documents is pointing to "H:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents".

I can only provide you with some suggestions;

1. Try to find servers that are focused specifically on team work, search for these on Google or websites dedicated to Battlefield multiplayer.
2. Contact players whom you've played with that have an interest in team work like yourself and play together frequently on the same server. This is often easier if you know the players i.e. work colleagues, friends etc.
3. Do try and lead, You can often surprise yourself with how well you can organise things with complete strangers. If you do a job that involves managing different people e.g. emergency services worker, then you will already have the skills to do this. If you are not then doing this can still be very beneficial because it will give you an outlet to practise and improve your communication and logistical skills.

Hope this helps.
