Is Battlefield 2 best alone?

For the money, you will probably get most out of it staying with the vanilla flavor. There is so much to do and learn, that it can keep you busy for a while.

Special Forces, at least, tends to be different. It offers new challenges and different environments. I don't like it because of the night maps, bad performance, helicopters, and not being able to run a mix of SF/BF maps on the same server (stupid EA/Dice).

I just bought Euro Forces and from the limited games I have play, I am not impressed with the maps. There are too many vehicles and too open of space. It brings vehicle whoring to a whole new level.

Vanilla and mods.

I like vanilla and SF. Still have not and doubt I will get Euro. I might get armored fury when/if it ever comes out. Oh and mods. NAW is just badass.

In SF, I think there's a lot more to play and quite harder to master (enemies are harder to spot. Most preferred the vanilla (just compare the number of servers and players) simply because its easier to play and rak-up points. The SF in real world is what it is, special forces - less action, more on covert and sneak attack. BF2 vanilla is an open war! And that's everone favorite, shoot anything that moves! (Joke)

Including all factors (Such as Money and Time), is it worth getting the expansions for Battlefield 2? Or is it best to just buy BF2 and stick with it?

while i was disapointed with SF it does have a couple maps I like, as for the other expansions I haven't bought them yet because I don't buy anything that doesn't come on hard copy.

So i would say yes get SF but you will probable play vanilla BF2 most.
