YouTube’s ‘HAMER SPACE’ has shared a video, showcasing a fan remake of the Battlefield 2 Karkand map in Unreal Engine 4. As with most remakes, this map uses new textures as well as a new lighting system, and will give you an idea of what a remake of this classic BF game could have looked like in a modern-day engine.
Now while this recreation is close to the vanilla version, I do have to say that I was disappointed with the sky as it could have looked a lot better. Not only that, but the original version of Karkand features a really dense fog that is absent from the fan remake (we can still notice a fog effect however it’s been reduced).
Unfortunately, this map is not available to the public so we can’t really run it ourselves on our PCs. We also don’t know whether DICE plans to remake any of its older games (like Activision did with Modern Warfare) so yeah; we may never get to play official or fan remakes of Battlefield 2’s maps.
Still, we believe it’s cool so go ahead and watch the video. For comparison purposes I’ve also included a video from the original Battlefield 2 game!
UPDATE:
This fan remake of the Battlefield 2 Karkand map is a mod for Squad, a large scale combined arms multiplayer first-person shooter powered by Unreal Engine 4, and you can download it from here. Thanks xblastx

Huge fan of those kinds of things. Especially when its about an old game that everyone loved. Fun to see the difference, but i still prefer BF3’s version more ;p
BF3 version looks much better than this
yeah, I couldnt agree more
Not that much.. This remake seems to be a good one.
You do realise that’s a Squad mod?
Thanks, updated the story with a link to the mod
Terrible to be honest. Looks nothing like the original because the modder has chosen to clutter every inch of it up with random objects that weren’t there and would totally change the gameplay (for the worse). He also didn’t get the colors right, whether that’s intentional or not.
Why do you feel like posting every dogshaite UE4 fan remake out there?
He just wants to fill his daily quota I presume. That’s why. These remakes have become an obsession/fetish for john, lol.
This remake seem’s to be of high quality
Btw Putin can burn in hell for eternity…
cuss its interesting mayB
Its like how you remember it looking .
