It already has died...EA refused to release Patch 1.4, and people have gotten sick of it

Mods, espcially POE2, will keep BF2 alive, I think theres more people still playing POE1 then there are BF:V so the outlook isn't too bad. EA/Dice will most likely cut support to BF2 after 1.4 (unless something is majorly screwed up) the stats servers will eventually be brought offline, but that won't be for a long while. Personnally I'll be playing 2142 like crazy, and POE2 when I feel the need to muck around with some current day warfare.

As people have said, CS 1.6 has not died, Quake has not died, UT (the orginal) hasn't died, BF2 won't die for a while either. Great games do not die, the following just gets a little smaller and you find that the player base is stronger and much more mature.

I don't think so, especially because of all of the anti 2142 talk thats been going around.

No. BF1942 still have over 2,000 people playing it everyday and Vietnam over 10,000. Since Bf2 was way bigger than both Vietnam & 1942, i'm expecting BF2's average players per day to stay over 20,000 for the next year or so.

I know alot of people arent buying 2142, due to anger towards EA. But I know I am, the whole futuristic setting is pretty sweet.

It's too good of a game to die, I said the only way I'd get 2142 is if someone bought it for me, someone did but I'll be playing bf2 as my main shooter regardless.
Like someone said, there are still people playing 1942 ffs.

Cause I love BF2 too much to let a WanabeeInTheFutureWar game kill a great game as BF2...

Edit: ZoMg_h4x why did you say yes....
its not necessarily going to die but it will definetely fade out especially when EA stops tracking stats.
no video game ever dies
When are they going to stop tracking stats?
a good 3-5 years i'd say. i mean as storage space gets cheaper i dont see how it'd be that expensive to keep it going for awhile.

Bf2 will die eventually, but not as soon as some people seem to think.

Are you seriously suggesting that ALL the people that bought bf2 are going to be dumb enough to buy 2142 when its really just bf2 with some new skins?? LOL Anyone with ANY sense will realise this is just another way for EA/Dice to rip off customers for more money with a faulty product. It will be a cold day in hell before I give these people 1 more penny for their malfunctioning bullshit. BF2 will live on because hopefully people will have the sense to vote with their wallets and hit EA where it hurt's.

Fuck 2142.

Why does everyone keep saying 2142 is a mod? Performance in the engine looks improved and actually looks more interesting than BF2 in my opinion, yet it's still being called a mod. The textures look better, gameplay seems to look better as well and I'm still holding hope that EA/DICE can prove they can actually get something right, otherwise I might be wrong... I'm not in the tuning beta or anything so I can't tell personally about the game itself but upon speculation on gameplay footage, interviews and some reviews upon which people have played already, it seems promising.

I don't think it will die because everyone loves to go in and be the pwnrer of a game full of noobs.... just can't beat that feeling.  And it will be that much more sweet once the taunts are put into place.

No.  Unless EA forces people to play 2142 by shutting bf2 servers down. 
They can't shut down the servers, they are privately own. The only thing they can do is shut down stats trucking system.

Most of the games you can get custom maps and mods. With BF2 to truck your stats you going to have to play the same map all over and over. Unfortunately after a while it gets very, very boring. I would seriously  would like to see some custom maps on rank servers. That would definitely keep BF2 alive.

No Bf2 will never die, too many people aren't getting 2142.

BF2's fan base will grow smaller over the years, but it will have a considerable following for a long time.  It won't die out when 2142 is released, although I wouldn't be surprised if you do see a small drop in the number of players from BF2.  Its inevitable, but at this point I seriously doubt that there is anything to really worry about.
