Bots are absolutely boring

I downloaded the game to see if it was worth of buying it since the servers shut down and I limited to play bots.

They are absolutely dreadfull.....
You can be playing 16vs16 and its a crazy fire fight, the moment you spawn they all stop to shoot you.
The bots are dumb as f@ck and for some reason they refuse to sprint making terribly boring matches where you have bots just casually moving to a capture point about 400m away just to be killed during the process to do this again.

But tey are awsome on teamwork, thats it, they suck in every other aspect

This is what I did, and it made bots more fun for me.

Go to Multiplayer <> Create Local <> Select Co-Op <> Pick Map <> Put Bot Hardness to 100 <> Put number of bots to 48 <> Bot ratio to 48 <> then load map. Enjoy the chaos ;)

Do they move faster?
Thats my major complain, because you can only spawn on your squad leader and they just casually move the game is boring as hell

Not a lot faster, but they are smarter, which makes it harder. If you really want a challange, there is a way (I forget how) but to have lke 48 bots vs you....lol......its hard but fun.

Its not on Steam anymore, but you can purchase it on Amazon or Ebay.

Or maybe you can try download GameRanger and see if there are any Battlefield 2 servers online, don't worry its free. Trust me it should work, because Star Wars Battlefront 2- multiplayer servers got shut down last year; but you can still play online by downloading Gameranger, and browse for any online servers. ITS 50/50 chance but at least give it a try :)

The grenade spam problem is only bad in some servers - and for me, as a noob and a bad player, even I learned ways to get around it.

Basically, if you just want another FPS which is visually different but plays the same just like the COD series or later BF series, and you want to score as easy as other games, don't try BF2.

But if you are tired of the sameness of everything else, and want the challenge of having to relearn a lot of things again (with only a little of the skills from other games usable in BF2), then yeah, try BF2.

BF2 can slightly remind you of your early days again, when you were learning something fresh and gradually feeling the improvement.
