I would love to play BF2 again like in the ol' days and get owned like I always did.
Sadly, the only way we'd be getting BF2 back would either be a remake simply called Battlefield 2 as the next game to try and recapture what made Battlefield = "Battlefield".
I doubt they would consider making modern servers for us to play and create on, because it would mean the player base of 2042 which is the last thing they need since it's starting to make some recovery. People may leave to play BF2 which is a game that doesn't have BPs, in-game store or other live service elements.
Again, either they remake BF2 as a new game with live service elements or simply move onto Battlefield Next or Bad Company 3.
@ShonenXIV you can still play BF2 despite GameSpy no longer existing. I still play BF2 a couple of times per year, you just have to download Game Ranger to replace the GameSpy functionality to find a server. This also works for BF1942 and BF2142. Be advised that it's rare to find a full servers like we could before GameSpy went down because most people have no idea that BF2 is still playable. Weekends are the best time to find populated games.
