BF2SP64 is a modification for the full version of Battlefield 2 that will add 16, 32, and 64 player sized single player maps to the original game. Maps also include Mashtuur City, Kubra Dam, & Wake Island 2007. Including the additional Control Points, vehicles, & stationary weapon emplacements that the multiplayer maps have.
BF2SP64 also works great for Coop games in small Lan environments, so you and your friends can combat those bots. PunkBuster and regular MultiPlayer maps will not be effected by this mod but Coop will require everyone in the same Lan to have the same version of Battlefield 2 and this mod. This Mod includes automated Install support & full uninstall capability.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a 64 Bots Mod?
A: No, but you can use this with a 64 Bot Mod. 64 reffers to the map size.
Q: Why won't it install? I get a message that Battlefield 2 was not found.
A: You must have the full version of Battlefield 2 and you may need to download Windows Script Hosting 5.6 from http://www.microsft.com/downloads
Q: It installed fine but my game crashes to desktop on launch of the maps.
A: You may have some corrupt game files or another mod that might be interfering with this mod. Worst case scenario, you may need to reinstall Battlefield 2.
Q: How do I start/host a Coop game?
A: Launch a single player game on one machine and note the IP address and port, then launch a multiplayer game on the other systems and manually connect to the single player system. Personally I have not had time to try this myself but I was told it works great.
Q: Can I use other Realism Mods with this mod?
A: Most other mods will work flawlessly with this mod but some may cause unforseen issues such as a crash to desktop during load.
Q: Why does the menu not show the 64 Player sized maps?
A: This is an issue that will be resolved in a future release. It says 16 player but will show you that it is a 64 player sized map on loading.
Q: Are there plans to have multiple maps listed in the menu?
A: Yes, I currently plan to add a selection between the 16, 32, & 64 player sized maps in a future release. I also plan to include Kubra Dam & Mashtuur City for single player in a future release.
