BF2 Round Replay is a free, non-commercial fan site for players of Battlefield 2. Battlefield and Battlefield 2 are trademarks of Electronic Arts Inc. The game's content shown here belongs to Electronic Arts and its licensors; the site shows it the way EA's content policy lets fans use game content in their fan sites.

From the game's own files

To look like the game and to show what each player could see, the site uses these, taken from Battlefield 2's files:

• the map pictures (the game's minimaps) and the minimap symbols;
• the icons of weapons, vehicles, kits and ranks, the sides' flags, the textures of the Tab scoreboard and the top bar, and the game's bitmap fonts;
• the vehicles drawn from above, made from the game's models;
• the ground's heights, the shapes of buildings and objects, and the trees, for "who could see whom";
• names and figures: maps, flags, weapons, vehicles and kits, speeds, ranges and the fog of each map.

The rounds themselves are the game servers' own Battle Recorder demos (.bf2demo), taken from the pages where the servers publish them and read by the site's own decoder.

High Definition Minimap — Deine-Augen

The sharp map pictures are scaled down from High Definition Minimap by Deine-Augen (ModDB, 2023: the game's minimaps at 8192 px), to 2048 px. Thank you.

bf2-replay-viewer — Kakarotto22

Part of the site's decoder and of its game-style HUD follows Kakarotto22/bf2-replay-viewer: the layouts of the demo's records and events, the game's template tables, and the layout of the Tab scoreboard and the top bar. Thank you. Its licence:

Read to understand the game — no code taken

These helped to understand how the game works. The site took no code from them: only how things work and the figures, each checked against recorded rounds.

• OpenBF2 (GPL-3.0): the camera and field of view, soldiers' speeds, scoring, spawning, the combat area, latency compensation.
• OpenBattlefield2 (MIT): the fog, the soldier's physics, the rules of Conquest, the layout of some records.
• Refractor-2-BitStream-Emulator (GPL-3.0): the network messages.
• The game's own scripts and settings (such as gpm_cq.py and the levels' .con files): the rules of the game mode.
