I just found out about BF2Combat.net. I knew about the concept but I didn't know there was a website up and running yet. For the uninitiated an explanation of BF2 Combat by the official site:
This quote doesn't tell you that -altho the first two weeks are free- you have to pay a regular fee. $9.95 for a three month pass, $18.50 for half a year, or $34.95 for a year. You do get custom maps and mods for this but it seems that there are no real guarantees about how many maps/mods per month you get and that you might need to buy the expansion packs to keep playing.
I haven't heard anyone that tried it out yet. Since the first two weeks are free I might go for it, but it would be nice to hear from peeps that experienced BF2 Combat themselves.
BF2 Combat is a Tour of Duty. Unlike a clan ladder or other online tournaments, our members participate in a simulated war, with commanding officers, divisions, and a grand strategy map showing the progress of the war from week to week. The Tour revolves around regular practices, large-scale company practices and huge, ten hour battles fought twice a week across a variety of servers. Members may attend as much or as little of battles as they like.
Players will join an army (China, MEC or NATO) and will be assigned to one of that army's divisions. Each division will have a general who will make strategic decisions on where his division will fight. Twice a week the divisions will fight battles with the opposing army on maps representing the territory being fought for. The progress of the war is displayed on a strategy map where territories change color based on which army controls them. Each Tour lasts approximately 12 weeks. At the end of each Tour, the outcome of the prior conflict is taken into consideration and the battle will enter new areas, featuring new content and action.
