Introduction
This is a list of BF2142 command line options generated from the .exe using help. This information is from the tuning beta. The text descriptions are directly from the help. Where I've added more information (and supposition) this is in brackets. NB - These commands are case-sensitive. I have bolded the new options.
Client Options
multi - Allow starting multiple BF2 instances
joinServer - Join a server by ip address or hostname
port - Specifies the network port to be used (when used with joinServer, this is the gameport value, default 16567)
playerName - Set the player name (Not sure if this actually does anything as player name is set further down)
password - Set the server password when joining a server
lowPriority - Run the game with slightly lower priority
loadlevel - Set the level to load

modPath - Set the mod path (default mods/bf2142 - you do not have to use this parameter, however using it when playing a custom mod stops the game restarting to load that specific mod)
help - Displays this help
? - Same as help
eaAccountName - Auto-login with the specified EA Account Name

NB - Automatically joining servers didn't appear to work in the tuning beta.
