This is a compendium of all the removed and unreleased weapons, vehicles and awards in Battlefield 2 and all expansions/boosters.
(I sent it to Snake a while ago via PM so he can make a Wiki entry from it too.)
I'm gonna edit this post later with more info for some of the awards requirements.

Battlefield 2:
LCAC hovercraft

A table with all current awards in BF2 & some removed ones (no bigger image though):

There's a discussion in this thread with possible meanings of those: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=7172&p=1

My guesses are (from left to right):

That one has a binocular symbol in it. Probably something to do with the laser designator to guide missiles that the spec ops kit was supposed have (as seen in this old video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFT5mH3QzSs)
This one looks like it has anchor symbols in it. Could have had something to do with the hovercraft or the boats. Although, anchors are normally symbolized upside down, so this symbol could also show a grappling hook, like the one in the SF badges.
No idea about the yellow/red ribbon. Someone on the forum suggested it may have something to do with transport.
No idea about the blue ribbon with the yellow snake. I think it has something to do with water/boats. (Someone posted a fake screenshot where he suppesedly got that reward while cruising in a boat and called it "Sea Service Ribbon".)
No idea about the lightblue ribbon with the ring. Someone on the forum suggested revives, although it looks like a lifering to me.

Studios:
DICE NY (originally called Trauma Studios) were the developers of the Desert Combat mod for BF1942 and were bought by DICE only to be closed down again after several months.

Lots of screenshots of how BF2 looked like prior to release: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=51621

If someone knows of any other unreleased or removed stuff, please post (preferrably with images).

Cheers

I think somebody has already done something like this.

I'll have a quick look to see if I can find it, you might find something else to add to yours.

Originally they were going to have underwater parts, but I guess it didn't work out.

Yes, underwater. James Bond style.

BTW, the APS is a Soviet underwater weapon based on the AK. Fully automatic, shooting bolt-like rounds.

Some of those look fantastic, although if I was EA I'd put the Spear Gun on SF only.

I'd love a speargun if i could pin people to walls with it. (like the one in Crackdown, or what the hidden can do in Hidden: Source)

Hours of entertainment.

They should release another SF's expansion with new maps, underwater infiltration and throw the hovercraft and new chopper in there!

That's where the speargun and the APS (a Soviet full-auto underwater weapon based on the AK) were supposed to show up for underwater battles.

Yeah, something like that would be nice.
I was thinking about a free content pack that gets release with a patch and adds all the removed stuff where it was supposed to be in the first place.
If not on the current maps, adding new maps for each one could help.

Hmmm, this topic looks similar to a certain PM globe

FYI: This is all being put onto the wiki at Globes request. Should be up in a day or so.

For those who say that the Lynx is actually the PLA recon helicopter, you are wrong. Because the W-11Z is copied from the French AS 350B.

No its not. The Z-11W is based upon a French helicopter.

This IS the AH Lynx.

I remember reading somewhere that they were gonna have the hovercraft with hummers on or something, they made the hover craft then realised it was too difficult to have vehicles on top of each other so never used it.
If they took this stuff off the disc wouldn't it make the game smaller and therefore better to install/DL or would it be negligible?

sfarrar33: Halogenoalkane; +57|6836|InGerLand

you know, if EA does one thing before they completely leave BF2 forever i wish it would be to release all this stuff, ok maybe not the medals and badges and ok underwater stuff would be asking a bit much (keep the weapons though), but just to put this stuff in the maps would be a nice sort of official send off for the game.
