I'm not sure if this is normal, but I've recently noticed this sometime after the new Map-pack came out...
This has led to me being able to see people who normally should be hidden...and alot of floating plants and people.
wat du?

Try clearing your shaders cache and optimizing again. Its in My Documents > Battlefield 2> Mods> bf2 > Cache < - delete anything below that, its safe.
If you have ATI card it might be bug related to drivers. Post your specs please with drivers version and card model.

I use a Nvida card, I'm going to clear my cache though like you suggested and see if that fixes things.

Alright, the problem still seems to be going on...
BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 215 Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 3072MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
Just cut and pasted stuff out of the dxdiag. Could the problem be with my graphic drivers?

Don't worry about it, its a minor visual problem you get with larger gradient changes on 4km maps
Burning sands (the map in the picture) has smoothed terrain to help hide it though you've found one of the few locations you can see it in action
the best example is on Kashan Desert, see how the mountains change shape where its a bit too 'pointy' when you approach them, or when you see floating enemies you cannot kill because they are on this 'morphing' terrain.
Its a BF2 engine limitation, not a problem client side

zooming in corrects it by how zooming changes what geometries you see
