The answer is, it depends.

BF2:

All of these run with varying degrees of success :-D

If WINE or Cedega do not work, or do not work very well you can always dual boot.

You can use Linux for everything but games and windoze just for games that do not run very well under Linux.

There are other options as well particularly for much older games. If you like older games you can use VMWare, QEMU, DOSBox and other VMs or emulators to run virtually any operating system.
