Yeah same, that's why I'm having such problems with them in BF2. I try to pull off DC stunts and fuck up.

I loved cranking on the rudder and going into an almighty continuous controlled spin. 9/10 the dude in the gunner seat of the Apache, or the gunner/passengers in the Blackhawk, would bail out thinking we were going down. rock: Everything was well under control though. cool:



I'm only half-way through downloading the torrent. oOo: wallbash:

Ohhhh. I misread. Thought you meant it would be done downloading in 5 hours.. oOo:

TK punishment sure does a lot. Oh nos, negative points rolleyes:

So can I or can I not change my in-game name?

I don't know, can't be too hard to figure out yourself.

[quote="dr nein":47379]I don't know, can't be too hard to figure out yourself.[/quote:47379]

Well your wrong it is pretty hard to figure out. Not alot of help comming from anyone on the naming subject from anywhere.

Somehow I doubt anyone else used their full name for their ID.

Manage accounts, delete. Problem solved in 5 seconds.

[quote="dr nein":cc7d0]Somehow I doubt anyone else used their full name for their ID.

No...you shouldn't have to make a new account to change your name, all I want is my in-game to say $p!k3, but that contains illegal charcters, and every other form of that name is taken apperntly.

Besides when the full version comes out I'm not going to delete my account which has my saved rank, and stats just to put a clan tag on or change my name.

Edit: From what I'm reading on Planet Battefield your not allowed to change your name, you can't have spaces, certain charcters, you can't change your account name, this guy was saying how he has been using his handle since Battlefield 1942 and he can't anymore becuase it's already in use.

Not even going to bother downloading it. If a GF4 won't work, i doubt a GF2 will.

Where are helicopters and shit. All i see is tanks and jeeps. And I cant join multiplayer for some reason. i try making an account and it says creating account but stays on it forever so i just exit out of it?

Anyone feel like planning a game tonight - if we have a stable server to play on? Playing with strangers is boring in my opinion.

Keep trying, it'll work after awhile...or should. Only 32+ person servers have the carrier which the cobra and jet planes sit on.

I learned how to use the computer even though im a lefty. Actually, i can do many things with my left and right hands equally. It was hard at first, but now i think it paid off for these types of games.

Yep it was pretty gayed that I couldnt remap keys...default key setting = ghey

Well great - theyve bypassed they ONE THING that really got me up in arms about not being able to get my card until Tuesday -

[quote:7cbf4][17:06:59] <MEPHiST0> got it
[17:07:29] <MEPHiST0> so if anyone has a server here
[17:07:33] <MEPHiST0> and wants to remove the timelimit
[17:07:35] <MEPHiST0> simply:
[17:07:51] <MEPHiST0> open up the file gpm_cq.py with notepad, it's under Battlefield 2 Standalone Demo Server\mods\bf2\python\game\gamemodes
[17:07:55] <MEPHiST0> then locate:
[17:08:00] <MEPHiST0> host.registerHandler('TimeLimitReached', onTimeLimitReached, 1)
[17:08:02] <MEPHiST0> and replace by:
[17:08:07] <MEPHiST0> #host.registerHandler('TimeLimitReached', onTimeLimitReached, 1)
[17:08:11] <MEPHiST0> that's all[/quote:7cbf4]

So - I guess folks will be able to have their unlimited 64-person epic battles. . . cry: -

I've been playing on a 64 server for a couple hours now, pretty fun. Too bad there are a few wankers who just want to go on TK sprees.

Fuckin cant run on this shit computer. cry:

imwithstupid: Ea >>> spank: <<< Me

Doom 3 is an opengl game, it never required anything more than having hardware transform and lighting on your graphics card. It was originally designed with the capabilities of the geforce 256 in mind. Halflife 2 just used a bunch of shaders on the engine, they wanted to cater to the low-end more because the majority of halflife 1 users are still on low-end pc's.

BF2..i dunno what dice are doing to make it a dx9 requirement, it has a few nifty effects like if you stand close to a tank when it fires you get a screen blurring shell shock kind of effect, its similar to what was in call of duty but seeing as call of duty was an opengl game its possible that dx9 might have been a requirement to produce this effect in a direct 3d engine. Ea do seem to be cutting off quite a lot of users by doing this dx9 spec, the game does look good though and thers probably more dx9 use going on under the hood of the engine that may not be very obvious just by looking at the game.

Ive had my card for like 5 yrs or so and its still kickin ass... mad:

Im not having much of a tmie running the bf2 demo either really, getting loads of sound lockups which crash my pc into a blue screen. Not really sure whats going on, tried a few different sound drivers and a few different graphics drivers. If i put the sound to hardware instead of software then in game the voices sound really broken up. annoy:

Some dicking around to do later tonigt i suppose.

They've dumbed down the helicopters too much. If you take your finger off the gas, the damn things just hover automatically. oOo:

now that i cant run the game, i got over it quickly. Even though i might play it once in a while.

The game is fun, but all these bugs and development problems (Nameing, etc) are starting to ruin it for me.

The naming thing is fine. It might cut the dicking around down a little since they can't just change their name afterwards.

Yeah I think its a good idea.

[quote=Paintballr]Yeah I think its a good idea.[/quote:7c358]

yeah it's a shame they can just make another account.

i cant fucking make an online account

True, however they'll lose all their unlocks. It's yet to be seen how easy to earn those will be.

It's much easier for someone that fucked their username up to make a new account.

HAHAHAHA No shit, I cant run this fucking game on my PC. It makes me SICK....good thing my new computer has allready been started. I wonder...what specs are needed to run this game a FULL Settings, with AA/AF on Max? I am just wondering...a REASONABLE answer please. But anyhow...my computer runs this game so bad that when I first loaded it and checked the video settings...everything was on the lowest of low settings...SOO, I hoped in a server and asked the people if the game auto selects ur video settings...or is it default? LMFAO...I am pretty sure its auto-selecting. And I agree, you KNOW there is handshaking in the back "so to speak" because all the games now a days come with ads and promos for either ATI or Nvidia....also, all the games tend to lean more towards either of the two. Meh. lol MY PC = teh suX0rZ

Its more of a matter or being able to run the game in a 64 player server with settings maxed, full fsaa, full ansio and keep over 60fps even with mass battles going on. At the minute i don;t really think theres a pc config that could guarantee that kind of performance. Take into account ragdoll effects, some of the physics, particle effects for the explosions etc, along with 64 players fighting it out and its gonna rape most pc's.

Runs great on mine maxed out.

No widescreen? WTF were you thinking Dice?

I had this problem so I turned off my firewall beforehand and it worked, the background of the account info screen should pause if its doing something, also make sure you check this:

Battlefield 2 Accounts Notes
Something to note as you prepare to create your Battlefield 2 Account, is that that a pre-existing GameSpyID account may impact your attempts to register your account. In order to avoid receiving an error message, make sure that you follow the guidelines below.

* If you create a BF2 account using an email address that is already linked to a GameSpyID, you have to use the same password that you used for that GameSpyID account, or else you will get an error and cannot create the account.
* If you do the above, and also input a nickname that is associated with the email address, the nickname has to match case-wise with the GameSpyID nickname, or you get an error and cannot create the account.
* You can create a new nickname to go with an established GameSpyID account, and it will simply add a new profile to your GameSpyID account.

ATI Cards and Battlefield 2 Demo
In testing the demo, EA has encountered some visual issues on certain ATI cards with the previous Catalyst drivers (5.5) and are working with yesterday's 5.6 release to discover if the issue is resolved. If in playing the Battlefield 2 demo you encounter texture corruption of any kind, we recommend rolling back to the Catalyst 5.1 drivers. ATI is aware of this issue and is working to resolve it.

I've not seen any bugs really, been havin too much fun with it dance:

can someone pleae make one of those link things for the irc channel so i can just click it because i have no idea how to get into the gf1 irc channel

thanks

HAHAHAHA Yeah man I hear yah. Hrm, Lets say we put the graphics part aside (I will hit that in a min) but aside from the graphics, do you think that there is a good CPU and Memory combo that can handle the processing power of BF2? Because, if you think about it (and like you said) right now there probably isn't a graphics card that can handle all the aforementioned details. SOO, why I said to hold off on the graphics card is because Nvidia is going to be debuting its new gard. If I am not mistaken (which I prolly am) wont the new Next-Gen cards come with a separate Processing unit for the Physics engine alone? Meaning, it will take the physics stress off of the CPU and place it on the new processing unit found on the Graphics card. Well, its just my thoughts....I am going to wait for the next gen graphx cards before I finnish my PC. Was going to get the 6800Ultra 256 PCI-X...but gonna wait now.
