Battlefield 2 (2005)

Beretta M9

The Beretta M9 is the main sidearm for the Marines in the game, a silenced version is used by the USMC's Sniper class and the Spec Ops class. It is listed in-game as the "92FS", instead of the military "M9" designation. A goof in the rendering of the pistol is present in that the hammer never moves and should be cocked back after being fired.

The Heckler & Koch MP5A3, fitted with a Navy trigger group, is the main weapon of the USMC Anti-Tank class. Accurate on short ranges and to a lesser extent, on medium ranges. It is a relatively weak weapon in the game and often takes a whole magazine to take down an enemy.

PP-19 Bizon

The PP-19 Bizon is the main weapon for the MEC Anti-Tank class. Also used by the Russian Spetznaz, Russian Rebels, and Insurgent Sniper class from the Special Forces pack. Almost has the same stats with the USMC Anti-tank's MP5, but with a 45-round magazine. One minor goof is the idle animation, which shows the character ejecting the magazine, throwing it up in the air, catching it, and then loading it back and during any point the player can move or fire the gun causing the magazine to return in an instant.

Heckler & Koch MP7A1

The Heckler & Koch MP7A1 is the main weapon for the British SAS Engineer class. is the second upgrade weapon for the Engineer class from the Special Forces expansion. Has a high rate of fire and a slightly higher damage and accuracy of a MP5. Since it has a large magazine of 40 rounds, the player can only carry a few extra magazines with them compared to 4 extra magazines of the medic and 6 with the assault classes, and to complicate things more, it usually takes half or nearly the whole magazine to take down an enemy, prompting the player to reload often. It is rarely seen, as most players rather not want to spend their hard-earned unlock points on the MK3A1.

FN P90

The FN P90 is the EU Anti-tank class's main weapon is the second upgraded weapon for the Anti-Tank class. Its stats are somewhat the same has the MP7, but appears to have a slightly lesser rate of fire. Just like the same ammunition and damage complications of the MP7, the player can only carry 2 extra magazines and usually takes half and sometimes, the whole magazine, to take down another opponent. The P90 is actually from the Euro Forces booster pack, but it is not needed to get the P90, the only thing required is a DAO-12 shotgun.

M16A2 Rifle

The M16A2 rifle is the main weapon for the USMC Assault class and the USMC Medic class, the Assault class's M16A2 comes equipped with an M203 grenade launcher, as described below. Excellent accuracy on single shot mode, while its 3-round burst is useful in short-medium range.

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 carbine is the main weapon of the Spec Ops class. Weaker than the M16A2 but has full auto capabilities, possibly has more accuracy, and lesser recoil. The M4A1 in the game is fitted with an M68 Aimpoint red dot scope and a flip-up rear sight which is only present for aesthetic purposes. A shorter-barreled version of the M4A1, the Colt Model 933 appears on promotional material for the game (such as the box art shown above), but is never seen in-game.

FN SCAR-H

The heavier calibered version of the SCAR-L, the FN SCAR-H is used by the US Navy SEAL Assault class as its main weapon. It has similiar stats to its lighter calibered version, like its accuracy and recoil. Since it uses heavier 7.62x51mm ammunition than the SCAR-L's 5.55x45mm, it has more stopping power. Comes configured in the game with an M68 Aimpoint scope, Grippod forgrip, and a shorter barrel. There are currently no ways to unlock the weapon and spawn with it while playing different factions.

Armsel Protecta

Called the "DAO-12" shotgun in game, the Armsel Protecta is the first upgrade weapon for the Anti-Tank class. While "DAO-12" is commonly mistaken for the weapon's actual name, "DAO" is only really used relative to the weapon's "Double Action Only" trigger, not the whole device. It has a 12-round drum magazine, but because of it's big magazine capacity, it has a relativly weaker damage compared to other shotguns, and has a time consuming reload process. Using the whole drum, the player can take down a helicopter if it is close enough.

Benelli M4 Super 90

The Benelli M4 Super 90 semi-automatic shotgun appears in the game mainly used by the EU Engineer class. It has high damage, low range, average accuracy, and 7 round capacity.

M24 Sniper Weapon System

The M24 Sniper Weapon System is the main weapon for the USMC Sniper class, equipped with a Harris bipod and heavy custom camo (despite the real-life Marine Corps using the M40 sniper rifle and the M24 being used by the U.S. Army). Mostly overshadowed by other sniper rifles like the M95. It is also inaccurately shown as having a removable box magazine, perhaps due to confusing it and the M25 sniper rifle.

Barrett M95

The Barrett M95, with a camouflage paint scheme, is the first upgrade weapon for the Sniper class. Required if the player wants to unlock the L96A1. It has high damage, and a scope with a fuzzy crosshair making it a little harder to make headshots at long ranges where the view of the target is restricted from the weather (fog, etc). It may not the most accurate rifle, but it is definitely the weapon with the longest range.

M249 SAW

The M249 SAW is the main weapon of the USMC Support class. It can also be found as a stationary turret on some maps. Has an extreme rate of fire, good for close quarters combat, but unaccurate for long ranges in full auto. Should only fire on short 1-4 shot bursts for better results. It is also mounted as a secondary weapon on the DPV (Desert Patrol Vehicle) and the Troop Boat. It is also shown with the straight carry handle of the original FN Minimi instead of the M249's angled carry handle

M240C Machine Gun

In some maps, the player can control M1A2 Abrams tanks which use an M240C machine gun as a secondary weapon in a coaxial mounting parallel to the main gun, the M240C being highly accurate and powerful, though slightly less powerful than the Browning M2HB mentioned below. The M240C also appears coaxially mounted on M6 Linebacker anti-aircraft vehicles, but is not useable.

Heckler & Koch MG36

The Heckler & Koch MG36 is the main weapon for the British SAS Support class. It is the second upgraded weapon for the Support from the Special Forces expansion.

The MG36 is fitted with a G36C-esque rail sight and G36K handguard. Requires the PKM to unlock.

FGM-172A SRAW

The FGM-172 SRAW is the main rocket launcher for the Anti-Tank class of the USMC, US Navy SEALs, British SAS, and EU. The missile can be steered towards the target by the player much better than the ERYX.

ERYX

The ERYX is the man-portable missile launcher for the Anti-Tank class for the MEC, Russian Spetznaz, and Chinese Army. The missile can be steered torwards the target by the player, but unlike the SRAW, the player must keep the fire button depressed to do so. It is best in urban combat and takes out an M1A2 Abrams with 2 missiles, depending on where the missiles hit.

RPG-7

The RPG-7 appears being used by Russian Rebels and Insurgents from the Special Forces pack. Unlike other anti-tank weapons like the ERYX or SRAW, its rocket cannot be steered. Over long ranges, the weapon must be aimed at an angle to effectively reach a moving target.

BGM-71 TOW

Another missile weapon available in the game is the BGM-71 TOW missile launcher. It is available in either tripod or vehicle-mounted configurations, the latter being on USMC LAV-25 armored personnel carriers. It too can be steered towards the target after launch, and a skilled player can also engage helicopters with it at close range.

M67 Hand Grenade

The M67 hand grenade appears as the standard HE-Frag (High-Explosive Fragmentation) grenade across almost all factions and can be used by several different classes, and has the same destructive abilities as the rifle-mounted grenade launchers.

M18 Smoke Grenade

Another grenade available in the game is the M18 smoke grenade, though the player only gets one of these so must use it wisely. When thrown, it generates a thick cloud of black smoke.

M18A1 Claymore

An alternate weapon of the Sniper class is the M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine. Unlike the real Claymore which operates via a detonator or tripwires, the in-game Claymore detonates whenever it senses movement in front of the mine, be it friend or foe.

M15 Anti-Tank Mine

A secondary weapon of the Engineer class across almost all factions is the M15 anti-tank mine. Though designed to explode when ran over by any vehicle, it's possible for them to be knocked aside without detonating. A single mine is capable of destroying even an M1A2 Abrams tank. The mines in the game also seem to have an ability to distinguish friend from foe, as they will only detonate when an enemy vehicle runs over them, friendly vehicles being able to drive over them unharmed; in some earlier patches of the game they were indiscriminate, but this lead to so much accidental teamkilling that the current version removes the ability for friendlies to set off mines.

Trivia: When a knife is a gun

As it turns out, this is "when it's a Battlefield 2 engine knife." The BF2 engine games include no hitscan weapons; in other words, every weapon works by firing some kind of modelled projectile that moves with a given velocity. This includes the knife; the animation of a knife sweeping has nothing to do with what the weapon actually does; instead, the knife is treated as a gun which fires an invisible, slow-moving projectile at the middle of the screen for the duration of the animation. The projectile is fixed to the middle of the screen and moves as the player turns, which is why sweeping the knife appears to work. Players who use the knife a lot will often place a mark such as a sticky label in the centre of their monitor to act as a crosshair for the projectile.
