Does SF CD have to be in to play SF Maps?

[sethmsk88]

When I put in the regular BF2 cd I can play on any of the regular maps, as well as the Armored Fury maps because I have installed the booster pack. SF won't let me use those maps unless I have that cd in, but then I can't use the rest of the maps. And yes I am talking about online play. Anyone have any ideas?

nope, you should be able to play SF with just the regular BF2 cd in.

It doesn't make any since, I've tried reinstalling it too and that isn't fixing it. It's really irritating to have to switch dics all the time.

So if you have the SF disk in

can you

a) play SF servers
b) boot up normal BF2 and play them servers

If I have the regular BF2 disc in I can play on the servers using all of the regular maps. Even though SF is installed, it requires me to have the SF disc in to play on servers that are running SF maps.

You can use the bf2 or sf disc to play either and both games. Only problem is if you load up bf2 with bf2 disc, and see an sf game you'd like to join, I think it'll reload the game as Special Forces which could take another couple to few minutes depending on how fast your comp is. Vice versa too.
