Here's what you need to join in the fun:
Battlefield 2
Obviously. Pizza Hut have a deal where you can get BF2 with a couple of pizzas, or you can find it for around $40 at K-Mart. There are two versions, a DVD version (pictured) and a CD version. There isn't any difference between the content of the two, unlike, say, the Quake 4 DVD edition.
Battlefield 2 Retail v1.3 Full Patch
Coming in at a quite impressive 438.21 MB, the 1.3 patch is required to play online. It also adds a Co-op Mode against bots, and includes all the previous patches, which added stuff like new weapons and the popular Wake Island 2007 map.

A new 1.4 patch is currently being tested. It is up to it's second beta version, and will add things like Infantry Mode (No vehicles. I can't see this mode taking off) and a new map, Road to Jalalabad.
There is also an Expansion Pack (Special Forces) and two downloadable Booster Packs (Euro Force and Armoured Fury) but nobody plays them so you sure as hell don't have to worry about buying them.
With Quake Wars delayed until next year (
), you can be sure that BF2 will continue to prosper for a long time to come.
