How To Run Special Forces On Your Battlefield 2 Server

Your server can run the base game or the Special Forces expansion, with its night maps, zip lines and grappling hooks. Every map for both is already installed.

Switching to Special Forces

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Gameplay, find Game and select Special Forces (or Battlefield 2 for the base game).
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Players need Special Forces installed to join a Special Forces server. The two games have different maps, so check your map rotation after switching; maps that aren't part of the chosen game are skipped.
