🎮 Introducing Monthly Retro Gaming Nights - Join the Fun! 🎮


edit
September 27th 2025 at 2PM EDT is the set date.
Server: https://www.bf2hub.com/server/205.209.111.210:16567/
Name of the server in server browser: Click the unranked/ranked boxes so it looks for UNranked servers first.
TeAm FPS Karkand INF ONLY is the name of the server. It is ranked, so don't worry about it being listed as unranked.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our new Monthly Retro Gaming Night series! This regular community event is designed to bring people together for some classic multiplayer mayhem and plenty of laughs.


What's This All About?
Each month, we'll host a dedicated game night featuring a carefully selected old-school multiplayer title (primarily from the FPS/shooter genre). We'll provide the servers, you bring the good vibes! If the response is overwhelming, we may even bump it up to twice monthly.


Everyone's Invited!
This isn't just for the DC team – we're opening our virtual doors wide! Whether you're looking to meet new people, considering contributing some hardware to our projects, or just want to relive gaming's glory days, you're welcome here. Bring your friends, family, and fellow gamers along for the ride.


First Up: Battlefield 2 (2005)
We're kicking things off with a true classic! With support for up to 64 players per server, there's room for everyone to join the action. Our dedicated server is configured with local ranking enabled, so your progress will be tracked and you'll unlock weapons and upgrades as you play.


Getting Started:

Since BF2 is no longer commercially available (a common challenge with retro titles), here's how to join:
  • Need the game? Simply send me a PM and I'll help you get set up
  • Already own it? Dust off that CD/DVD drive and follow these steps:
    1. Visit https://www.bf2hub.com/home/index.php and create an account
    2. Download the BF2Hub client to patch your game (this replaces the defunct GameSpy service)
    3. You're ready to roll!

When Do We Start?
We're currently gauging interest and availability. Saturday is looking like our top candidate, allowing us to run sessions throughout the day to accommodate different schedules. Please share your preferred day of the week in the thread below!


Ready to relive some gaming history? Let's make some new memories with old games! 🚀

I wouldn't bother. I couldn't find mine either. Though I think I had the DVD set.

Just DM me on Discord and I'll show you what ya need to do.
 
I'll try to get setup on of these days and give ya'll some fodder.
It's been ages since I've gamed so we'll see if I can even get it setup.
 
Another bump that this event will take place this coming Saturday. Get your game downloaded/installed and setup on BF2Hub now so you're not scrambling to join the fun on the day of the event.

If you need to test to make sure you can connect and play on the server then drop me a DM and I'll join with ya for a round or two to make sure you're fully ready.
 
The Retro Gaming night was pretty successful. We had ~12 players (one of the players, elALEMAN1771 was on the server during our testing before the event)

*Please note. The scores here do not reflect actual skill. The more you play the more points you earn. For example, my points are really high because I played the entire time + the testing I did to get this working beforehand.

Some players played with names they don't use within' BOINC. So I will try to convert them. Hopefully I don't make any mistakes.

BF2 Server Player List

BOINC Team Members:
  • [TAAT] Skillz2399 - Me (Skillz from TAAT)
  • BouRegreg - werinbert from Free-DC Team
  • Icecold - Icecold from TAAT
  • burninator89 - burninator34 from TAAT
  • ] beep - beep from Antarctic Crunchers
  • Ken_g6 - Ken_g6 from TAAT
  • Laurel_Alison - gemini8 from RKN
  • cellarnoise - cellarnoise from TAAT

Other Players:
  • xG4ME_OV3Rx
  • Mut1l8er
  • elALEMAN1771
  • CarlosMRF
  • Jxse01

While I'm not sure we got any new BOINC members from this event it was still a decent success with a decent amount of players who hoped on the game and in discord voice chat to have a good time.
I think moving forward, when I host the next one I will advertise the event the game's community channels (discord, forums, reddit, whatever they have) to see if we can't get a little bit more communication with the game's community and possibly getting some to join BOINC. (Hopefully join TAAT in the process)
