It's similar to Battlefield2 as far as I can see (no, I haven't played BF2), but better. :)

That sentence by itself shows you've never played Battlefield 2 :)

Söldner was brilliant idea that failed miserably. It's kind of like Battlefield 2 mixed with Operation Flashpoint. but in a way you get all the spam and in the end have no idea what killed you.

And at that time some not too thrilling graphics.
 
Of course you could try sneaking up to a base and get killed after a five minute walk. Often you could get revenge too, and usually you move in as a team and catch up to it after death with a quad to pick up your weapons.

Now there were "high-money" servers, where everyone could get a Comanche chopper or whatever - the game play wasn't made for this and it resulted in a spawn-kill-fest.

Actually I've felt no spam of any sorts when playing on properly setup servers, except on purposely small-scaled fun-matches with 32 players with shotguns, where grenade spamming would occur.

Almost all maps are so big, that there can't be spawn raping etc., except sometimes when a base was about to fall into enemy hands.

I think the devs threw the high-money option out now anyway. It's more fun when team-play is required if you want to win, since you can only buy heavy armour using a collectively earned team budget. Only with luck can you earn yourself a bigger tank.


edit: I think it failed mainly because it was a pile of bugs, when it came out. I played the demo for a while when it came out, but then forgot about it for about four years and bought it, and many bugs where patched out. The developer filed for bankruptcy because Jowood didn't pay them to do the patches I think.
Then they hired another group of fans and programmers to do a sequel, but unfortunately it got cancelled. I guess it wasn't platform compatible enough with the Gameboy Colour (lack of RAM).

GOG.com celebrates the fifth anniversary of their launch with the release of Stargunner for free:

In a distant galaxy of Andromeda an epic struggle between two planets is drawing to a close. The greedy, powerful Zilions are gathering an almighty fleet to destroy, once and for all, a neighboring civilization of Ytimians. When their army takes flight, there is nothing that can stop them from annihilating Ytima. Unless you--one of the elite squad of Stargunners--can cripple their immense forces while they are still stationed at strongholds scattered on the surface of Zile. The challenge, even for a special forces pilot like you, is daunting. So get your laser cannons charged and lead your swift spacecraft to victory!

Reviews

“It’s a tremendous achievement – a detailed tribute to the Thief series…. Projects like The Dark Mod are a way for those fans to say “if you won’t make it, we will” – to deftly lift what was good and meaningful about the games that inspired us years ago and run away with it.”
– PC Gamer “Mod of the year: The Dark Mod”

“this is splendid….it’s basically Thief…but in Doom 3. Even now, there’s a good couple of hours of classic immersive sim action here, and I recommend it strongly.”
– Rock, Paper, Shotgun
“The Dark Mod has long been one of the most famous PC mods around. … It was great. Now it’s even better, because it doesn’t need Doom 3 anymore.”
– Kotaku

There are more free games, I just listed a few. Heroes of Might and Magic V was there temporarily in the list. It is one of the best PC games ever made, imho.
