This mod is the successor to Battlefield 1942: pirates mod; both mods are played in multiplayer only during special yearly events.
To avoid missing out on these events, it is highly suggested to join the Hello Clan Discord (BF1942) & Lost-Soldiers Discord (BF2).
• Capture The Flag: players need to capture the opposing team’s flag 4 times to win a round. Flags are stolen by reaching the enemy base flag pole and are captured by returning the flag to your own base flag pole - so long as your own flag has not been stolen too. Whilst you’re carrying the flag your position is shown on the minimap, so you’ll need to be quick and work as a team to defend the flag carrier.
If you’re killed and drop the flag, a teammate can pick it up and carry on, or the flag can be automatically returned to its flag pole by being rescued by the enemy. If after 30 seconds no one on either team has reached the dropped flag it will be returned to base. Unfortunately this game mode can be buggy, and the server can crash; if like me you're a fan of CTF mode, I suggest to play BFP1 mod because the same game mode works without hiccups in BF1942.
• Zombie: once enough players have spawned, a 1 minute countdown will begin; whilst this timer is counting down you are free to explore the map and kill other players. After this 60 seconds, all players will be killed and one player will be randomly chosen to be the undead zombie. All other players will join the pegleg team and then everyone will spawn back into the game again.
It’s now just a case of survival, each time the zombie kills a pegleg they’ll be added to the undead zombie team and gradually the balance will turn as the outnumbered undead will begin to outnumber the peglegs. There’ll be no place to hide for the last remaining peglegs either as the minimap will randomly choose a pegleg and show their location on a regular interval.
Enemy Vessel Boarding is also possible…
p.s. this is a modification of the base game, Battlefield 2 (2005), which you still need in order to play. The game is abandonware at this point, so you can follow this tutorial of mine here to download it, install it and configure it for multiplayer through BF2Hub (a community-made effort to keep the game online and stable past the 20142 GameSpy shutdown). Do not hesitate to send me a PM at any time or to add a reply to this thread if you need help, I'll be happy to assist! Additional contacts available in my forum signature.

Enemy Vessel Boarding is also possible…
you can only board three largest enemy ships: The Frigate, The Brig and The Cutter. To do so, just swim up to the correct part of the hull and you’ll be thrown up to the deck, just a quick jump over the rail and onto a bloodbath. Each of the three ships has their boarding point in a different location (a read through the Game Manual is suggested for the most adventurous of pirates).
Also know that you can quickly evacuate all of these ships by running up the bowsprit (that would be the beam coming straight out the front of the boat for all you landlubbers). This allows an agile pirate a much faster way of getting ashore than simply jumping overboard and swimming unarmed. Everybody knows pirates hate to swim.
These beams are handy for boarding enemy vessels of all sizes, and the Frigate has additional means for boarding by getting out of the crows nest and running along a yard arm. You can parachute to an enemy vessel some 20m away or more from up there.
