Just found out about this today, apparently you can play both games and all DLC online for free - and there are lots of people playing it, about 800 at peak times. 

But is it legal, you might ask... Well, apparently so according to a redditor who says "They aren't [selling the games anymore] and they shut down the server's a long time ago and have said they're OK with project reality so it's fine."

I can neither confirm nor deny his/her claims and can't be arsed to google it right now so it's your call. I have fond memories of BF2 and might give it a go again someday, never played 2142 though (BF 1942, Vietnam and BF2 burned me out).
