In Battlefield 2, there's a way to customize the number of players in a Singleplayer Game. I also discovered a method to set the map size itself to 16, 32, or 64 players. By the way, there may occur some problems when you change the mapsize, because EA/DICE didn't supply pathfinding for them. In other words, in mapsize 32/64, the AI may be buggy.
Custom Map Size

1) Go to your /mods/bf2/levels/MAPNAME folder inside your BF2 folder.
2) Unzip the server.zip file in that directory into that location, retaining directory structure.
3) Rename the server.zip to something like server.zip.bak.
4) Go to the new /gamemodes/sp1/ directory that you've just created and rename the '16' directory to '32' or '64'.
5) Go back out and then through to /gamemodes/gpm_cq/32 and copy the GamePlayObjects.con file from that dir into that new /gamemodes/sp1/32 directory. If done correctly it should ask to overwrite, click yes.

As for the custom bots, it's really easy.

1) Go to mods\bf2\AI in your BF2 folder.
2) Open AIDefault.ai and insert these lines before the line were it says 'run BotNames.ai'. aiSettings.overrideMenuSettings 1
aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32
3) Done.
Sorry it took so long. And about that ball-licking issue, that was merely because I wanted to know if people were interested. And now, I regret that and I apologize to all who feel that they've been insulted. It was never my intention to act in such a disdainful and scornful manner. I can see now that I was wrong, and for that, I openly apologize to all. No hard feelings, I hope?
