the question is will BF2 work on it, and I doubt it will.

It might actually work if you use Cedega. Get it here: TransGaming Inc.
Cedega delivers out-of-the-box playability for games such as Battlefield 2, Dungeon Siege II, City of Villains and Madden NFL 2006.
Cedega allows games originally created for the Windows platform to run on Linux, straight out-of-the-box. Popular titles supported on Cedega 5.0 include Battlefield 2™, Dungeon Siege® II, City of Villains™, Madden NFL™ 2006, World of WarCraft®, Half-Life® 2, Guild Wars®, and many others.
Though.. you'd have to buy Cedega. Don't know if there's any free version of it, or similar software. I know there's "Wine", but I don't believe the 3d support is that great.

So.. Cedega really is the way to go on Linux (for now).

Cedega is only a pimped wine, actually every game that runs in Cedega will run in wine if you put some work in it, but wine is nothing for linux noobs, its really hard work to get games running, but it is possible and some already got bf2 running in wine
