It requires XP in order to work right.

Anyone have a demo server yet? eek:

Doubtful anyone will get one with the game coming out in a few days.

we do 69.93.227.174

Ive tried to get the fucking thing to start, but it just shows the vids and then gos all black with the cursor as the only thing showing.

Vidcard = Sapphire Radeon 9200 128 Mb.
Drivers = Latest ATI ones, 5.6 or w/e.

CPU = AMD Barthon XP 3000+ running at 2.16
MOBO = ASUS A7N8X-X
RAM = 2*256 + 1*512


WTF IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS THING!? cuss:

Ive heard others with older cards having the same problem, they just waited and it loaded. From what I understand it takes a while to load. Hope that helps

Read the system requirements, you need a Radeon 9500 or higher for bf2 to work.

I can come to the conclusion that the Support class and Sniper class fucking blow.

Supports MG is nerfed into oblivion. I forgot they use thoose guns to make noise and scare the bad guys in real life not acual meant to hit anything.

Sniper rifle is a joke. There was a guy sitting on the crane not moving at all and I was on the hotel roof and I went through 3 clips none of which hit him at all before some shmuck came over and knifed him. Sniper rifles are supposed to work at long distance correct?

Yeah the game definately has some shit that needs patched. Unless you have a gunner in your attack chopper firing missiles at infantry is pretty pointless as it has to be a dead on hit to kill them, seeing as they have next to no splashdamage. I suppose it can be good in a way since helo's can't rape entire maps as easily now.

The one thing i dont get about the game is its all about arcade styled gameplay yet infantry weapons all seem to have "realistic elements" stuck onto them. Bullet drop for snipers, leading moving targets for most weapons etc, doesn't make a lot of sense having arcadey vehicles then suddenly having to do real life style aiming for the infantry weapons.

The support mg needs seriously beefed up, i was using it earlier and amassed about 3 kills out of 100 rounds. Theyre bound to do some dicking with the weapons in patches though. Still an addicting game eitherway. dance:

MI-28 can rape entire maps with a good gunner. That HE ammo is deadly.

But yeah the others suck. Using the PKM I tried hitting a guy at 100 yards, used up about 2 mags and hit him several times. Naturally he didn't die.

The SAW and RPK can be very useful at close range but that's it. Their ammo and rate of fire are nice enough to mow down several guys before they notice you and plug you full of holes, however aside from that they are indeed useless.

Yeah, but the thing is; It still works with some of the older cards.

Nvm though, ordered a X700 Pro 256Mb last night, should be here by tuesday or so. happy:

The heli rockets splash damage is a joke. I shouldn't have to launch 14 rockets just to kill one guy.

As someone said earlier - find a good gunner! I was playing as gunner this afternoon - with an extremely good pilot - and it was mucho funo!!!

I play gunner often but I usally get stuck with some retard Spec Ops who parachutes out so he can blow up the artillery guns.

biggrin: cry:

I have 2 older Radeon cards that work fine, a 9000 Pro 64MB and a 9000non-pro 64MB.

Both run BF2 at low 1024x768. But i do get random times where the screen goes black, but the game is still playing, this is right after a map loaded, and i can head my cursor clicking as it scrolls over the kits on the spawn map, very annoying.

Lot easier than it looks. biggrin:

chop

yea its not that hard, i flew in there today and back out

How do i find out my specs?

In winxp go to control panel and open the system option, that'll give you your ram and cpu at least. Go to display settings to find out your video card.

The funnest part of this game is in a 64 person server and all hell breaks loose when it's a 32v32 and your within 10 meters of each other.

That happens? Usually it's 10 people on the carrier getting sniped by one guy until he runs out of ammo because people are too stupid to figure it out. The rest being randomly scattered across the map.

Something pretty dumb just occured to me while playing the game. You have some vehicles that can pop smoke ot make a smoke screen, tanks, lav,apc etc. Its possibly one of the most useless things they could put in the game. Why? Even when you do pop smoke and are behind the screen all an enemy has to do it point his xhair at the smoke and he'll see your red name tag show up through it. Its not like the vehicles that have the smoke screen option are fast moving anyway so you're still as vulnerable with the smoke as you are without it. annoy: You'd think with the smoke screen up that your tag would become invisible to make the screen have some point but nope. hake:

^

I try to use the smoke as cover for teammates that are on foot. I know you can see the tags through the smoke, but it's harder to find a guy running 100 yards away, than it is to find a big ol' APC or tank.

Hopefully it gets patched to work properly, as it is now in a tank or something its like being out in the open with some useless graphics effect going on around you.

Getting tapped by the bumper of the jeep or anything shouldn't insta-kill.

That one is pretty fucking annoying, i landed on a roof with the seahawk and hopped out and instantly dies, i was thinking the rotor hit me because of the angle of the roof, turns out the hawk rolled forwards about a half inch and killed me. oOo: I suppose its either that or have tanks pushing players around maps again instead of running them over. Makes hopping out of jeeps on the move more tricky though.

Also got some weird bug, i spawned and couldn;t move, i was stuck to the spot, couldn't fire or swirtch weapons or move in anyway, tried suiciding and switching teams and remained stuck to the spot whereever i spawned. eek:

Another thing...the AI in SP are still fucking retards. I give them orders and they sit around doing jack shit.

damn, 58 pages

Finally. Got the vidcard yesterday, so I slapped it in right away. Got to play for a few hours (My god, I love this game biggrin: ), and then hell broke out. Meanest fucking thunderstorm in this towns history (atleast it felt like that). The whole fucking house was trembling. But now its a new day, the sky's still grey as shit, but no thuunder. Wish me luck, Im going in. happy:

Can't believe I've just read over 50 pages of this thread, haha was bored. Such a hilarious thread, especially around page 27+, oh memories

What are you fucking retarded or has your single brain cell finally died from loneliness? The demo of the game was good, want to know why? It was only out and noone had figured out any exploits for it. Few months down the line and a few patches from ea everyones spamming the prone button to get cheap advantages. In the demo everyone was whoring helos seeing as they wanted to know how ea made the control system for them and jets in most servers i was in just sat there. So yeah back then jets did seem useless.

oOo:

you're still a tool

Comeback of the year +1.

oOo: oOo:
