If FPS games are mountains, then Battlefield 2 is my Everest. With 2,000 hours clocked on the disk version I can say I love this game. Why? It has the bases covered. Singleplayer practice, multiplayer with stats, land/air vehicles mixed with infantry, with a fine balance between realism and arcade.

It has dozens of little bugs left in even after the patches, but respect to EA for rescuing it from the 4:3 era by patching it to 16:9. BF1942 and BF3 are different products, making BF2 unique. I'd say it left a big footprint in gaming, but the boot is still firmly on the ground as people still play it.

I'm still flying jets under bridges, rocketing from choppers, aiming anti-armour weapons at the tanks treads, trying to snipe headshots, and running face first into the meatgrinder as medic. The gameplay stands up while the graphics are ageing. Yes it's old, but then you know it'll run smoothly on modern hardware.
