Is https://battlelog.co/ safe? Is coop against bots still possible?

[Neonetik]

I have a friend who I want to play BF2 with, but he doesn't own the steam version, though I do.

If we both downloaded this "revived" version or whatever, would that be dangerous? Would that be considered piracy? I figure I wouldn't be able to use my steam version with this website one.

Would we still be able to play together in a map with and against bots?

Thanks.

While mods are not officially approved, they haven't strictly condemned it either. It is not piracy because the game still requires you to have a legitimate key to play. A cracked version, one with the key removed, is considered piracy. The steam version of this game automatically confirms the key.

EA & Dice have been informed by the previous Revive (battlelog.co) admins during the early Revive days.

I have also been repeatedly promoting Revive on the official Battlefield.com forums since 2015 (even my signature on the official Battlefield.com forums are links to Revive), much to the awareness of EA & Dice, without having any of my posts getting disapproval from their forum/game admins.

So far EA/DICE have maintained the 'don't officially endorse while do not condemn/prohibit' stance, because they see Revive as not interfering with their business (they have abandoned BF2 business/support wise). With big future projects they have coming up, it is a waste of their time to deal anything with an abandoned game which only appeal more to niche old school players, instead of the majority mainstream younger players preferring the new BF/COD weapon/movement physics.

Legal-schmegal, shutting down Revive will not gain them anything financially (may even cost them money if they want proper legal intervention). It will also definitely hurt their reputation among BF fans, especially that a lot of current Revive BF2 players do play newer BFs and EA games, and are their current/future customers. as well.

We can only hope they keep this stance.

In my experience being in the battlelog.co community, I have never been aware of any complaints from literally thousands of players about any of battlelog.co files/downloads/online service being 'dangerous' in anyway.

to be honest it is a waste of their time cause they are stupid. they have no idea what a legacy is BF1942, BF2 and BF2142. If they only realise how much money they still be making if they support those games. They just don't have a clue how. Look at id software. See if they drop support of their legacy that is DOOM. One day they will realise it and will support it ones again
