I moved your post over to this one. Do any of the recommendations others posted in here fix it for you? Do you have both the game and Origin installed on the same drive? I see that you have more that one.

Okay, I've burned about 400GB and most of my sanity trying to fix this, and I think I have a solution.
I started with a completely fresh C drive, but if you're unwilling to go that far I suggest you uninstall BF2 and Origin then manually hunt down and eradicate all traces of both of them from your hard drive and registry.
Install a completely fresh instance of Origin from the EA website.
Install a completely fresh instance of BF2 from Origin. This part is important. In the first instance I no longer trust the Origin verify feature since the files present and folder structure in my (now working) installation are significantly different from the version I had when all of this happened (and which passed Origin verification about 12,000 times).
At around 25% of the installation, the game becomes 'playable' and allowed you to launch a single-player arcade scenario. You NEED to launch this.
I reinstalled fully four times with absolutely no success until I tried launching this arcade mode from a combination of despair and boredom, but it worked perfectly for me and allowed me to access the in-game menu, where I could actually set graphics options (set primary monitor, set borderless window, set DX12, AO to HBAO, Shadows to something workable etc etc).
After doing this, the game worked perfectly once the download had finished.
Best of luck.
