Console Commands (1.0.1 or prior only):
Press the "~" key to bring up the console and type these codes in to do the desired effect. If you see a "1" or a "0" Change it to the oppostie and it will turn it on/off. If you see any thing with "[]" around it you replace it with what it says.

Unlock Special Weapons (Version 1.0.0 only):
Locate the file "unlocks.py" located in <Drive Letter>Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\python\bf2\stats (or whereever you installed Battlefield 2, in the folders \python\bf2\stats), and open "unlocks.py" with Notepad.

(Before you open unlocks.py, you should make a backup of the file "unlocks.py" (just copy and paste the file) and rename the file to unlocks1.py)

Now you should see a whole bunch of codes. Press CTRL+F and find the word "defaultunlocks" (without the quotations).
this should highlight the line of code

defaultUnlocks = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

change all the "0"s to "1"s, so it looks like

defaultUnlocks = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

and now press CTRL+S to save.

Note: this only works for single player, this trick works for multiplayer, however, EA Games will ban your CD-Key for a week if they discover you are using this for multiplayer. So just replace the unaltered backup file of "unlocks.py" for multiplayer and vice versa.

Skip Intro Movies:
To skip the intro movies when you load up Battlefield 2, delete the Dice, EA, Intro, and Legal Bink Video files from your EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies folder.

Play BF2 In a Window:
To play Battlefield 2 in a window, right click your Battlefield 2 shortcut. In the Target section, change "+ fullscreen 1" to "+ fullscreen 0" You will get a windowed version of the game.

Cruise Control in Land Vehicles:
Once you are driving in a ground vehicle, hold the key that moves you foward, usually W, and press J once while you are moving. Your vehicle will now be in Cruise Control. You will still be able to rotate your cannon, talk, move your vehicle left and right, and everything else while your vehicle is in cruise control. This is useful for APCs when crossing across large bodies of water or on long drives across a map in a Jeep.

Stay outside the map border forever:
This glitch allows you to stay outside of the map forever, where you should normally hear the "Where do you think you are going soldier..." message.

You can do this with a friend for example by making a squad together. What you do is this: The squadleader goes out into the red zone where you hear the previously mentioned message and you spawn in on him. You can stay outside the map forever. Have your friend die and leave the squad so you become squad leader and let him spawn in on you.

Now the two of you can stay outside and never die from the out of bound penalty. Known to work upto 1.02
