I have contacted ea twice asking them to bring back the online features of this game. They have now forwarded this to the developers to see if it is possible to bring these features back.
They told me that any announcement would be available on their social media e.g twitter, Facebook, or their website.
Help show your support for this here:http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-2/ ... -p/3779747
Hopefully will see you on the battlefield soon!
