3D Studio Max 9 (aka 3DsMax9, and not 2009) is what I would recommend if you want to model for BF2. 3DsMax is a pretty standard modelling tool.

Blender has no export tools written for it for bf2. You can model said mesh in blender, then export it to either 3ds max or maya and set it up for export. You cannot however go straight from blender to bf2.

It'll be difficult, you'll have to export to an intermediate format, then export to the bf2 format, fixing errors along the way. There's setup you can't do in blender, and things like smoothing groups will be lost in translation, but it is possible. I reckon you need to have a good idea what you're doing in Blender, or it'll be more of a struggle when the time for export comes.
