Alot can be fixed with the released source code, even though it's not a full release. Not many have tried in the past because the game did not receive much fanfare when it was released.
There are some great MODS that have not been mentioned that you can play right now, rather than wait for something that may never come.
Like:
The Darkact Project (by Guzz)
A Fantastic B2 multiplayer and singleplayer mod. Adds new sounds, more stable internet play, droppable weapons in single and multiplayer. Also adds a great Multiplayer MOD called Bloodfued, which adds co-op or singleplayer bot play to B2. Just look at the feature list.
