- extra single-player maps!!
To the original poster - On single player, you cannot (to my knowledge) change the map size bigger than 16 player. The map can be changed. Once you select single player, the list of maps should be visible on the left side of your screen. Look, click, and start game.

What does that mod do gblanco? An explination would be nice....
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
yeh well apart from wat i said..i was also wondering if you can play modded maps that u downloaded on singleplayer!!cus no servers seem to have the same as me!!
This is the description of the mod.Flecco wrote:

"BF2SP64 is a modification for the full version of Battlefield 2 that will replace the original 16 player map sizes with the much larger 64 player map sizes. Including the additional Control Points, vehicles, & stationary weapon emplacement that the multiplayer 64 size maps have.
BF2SP64 also works great for Coop games in small Lan environments, so you and your friends can combat those bots. This is v1.03 of this Public Beta release for Battlefield 2 SP64 and includes a self-extracting automatic installer that also includes a restore option. ALL THIS & UNDER A MEG!"
I installed this mod and now the 16 maps for single player are now 64 maps.
Note: The title for the size of the maps remains 16, but, when you use it, the maps are 64.
I detected bugs in some maps, but, you can really enjoy most of them.
If you want the 64 size maps for practice, this mod is ok.
can the maps be changed back to singleplayer, or the mod uninstalled?
installed the patch.... how do i get it to run over lan? started lan game and no bots were there? .... this patch comes witn an uninstaller
By default you can play only 16 player maps in singleplayer modus.
But there are some real geniuses over there:

You should 'bookmark' their forum, if you are interested in playing 64 maps with BF2 in singleplayer.
What i've done so far:
- Downloaded all vanilla 64 maps from the singleplayer forum.
- I made another folder (Levels_SP) in /mods/bf and /mods/xpack. In my BF2-installation the files for Special Forces are in that xpack-folder.
- Copied all stuff from the original folders of /mods/bf2/Levels to /mods/Levels_SP and of /mods/xpack/Levels to /mods/xpack/Levels_SP.
- Removed all *.md5 files in both Levels_SP folders. Doing that you will not face error messages like "different versions"-stuff, if you're going to play in coop-mode (LAN).
- Then i made 2 batch-files. One i placed in /mods/bf2 and one in /mods/xpack. Intention: For starting the 64 singleplayer maps the batches rename the original Levels-folders to Levels_org and the Levels_SP to Levels and vice versa. Also i "call" bf2.exe with the batches, so that after leaving the game the folders will be renamed to default names.
- Examples of the batches. DO NOT copy & paste them, since you might have a different folder structure. Use them as an example, you should get the clue :
For vanilla BF:
For Special Forces: (the batch is placed in /mods/xpack)
Then make two desktop links. The green icon for the Special Forces icon you'll get out of bf2xpack.ico (xpack folder).
Have fun!
For having more Bots:
- in /mods/bf and /mods/xpack are two AI folders. Make a copy of AIDefault.ai and rename it apropriate, e.g. AIDefault.ai.org.
- Then edit the AIDefault.ai and rewrite it to something like that:
- You'll have a ticket ratio of 1000 and 64 bots (inclusive you and/or friends).
To play in a small home lan with your WIFE, LOL:
- First start on your PC a LAN-Server with a map. Which one is not important, just start a server. Just use the default settings.
- Wait until you can join on your machine.
- Go to your wife's PC.
- Start single-player. Click in the ingame browser on Multiplayer and actualize the server list.
- You will see your machine (PC) appear in that list
- Just mark it but DON'T join.
- Go to your PC again and with ESC leave the LAN-Server modus.
- Start then a regular singleplayer game of your choice.
- Join game and choose a team, kit etc.
- Go to your wife's PC and join the server STILL in the list
- Have fun
All my thanks go to the great guys of BFSP Forum. Without their skillz, time and passion the singleplayer modus od BF2 would more than suck.
Multiplayer ok - but during my hospital stay for some weeks i did not have internet and i was really glad to have their singleplayer maps on my notebook - great!
