Well, I suppose you can always use WINE, but I don't know how well it will perform. If you consider it's worth the try, you can do it when the console runs Linux (and let us know the results Razz )

i didnt try bf2 because i want to try moh2. that would be so sweet. moh2 is better than bf2 anyway and if i could play moh2 on the wii there would be great. if you try the trunker signer you can play bf2 if bf2 is in a dol but first you need to make the dol from the cd from walmart. i dont know how you would do this but it would be the same if you want to play moh2 so if you get it please tell me. didnt i read cd to dol convert hack somewhere we really need this but the wiiloader com link is down or something so i cant look there but they have hack to run from sd so it might have dol maker to

Short answer: No

Long answer: No, not on wii hardware. Wii processor is Power PC based whereas PC computers are x86 based. The PC game binaries cannot be run on Wii with Wine (Windows API reimplementation). In theory x86 hardware could be emulated, but wii hardware is nowhere near powerful enough.
