and armored fury, all you should have to do is join an armored fury map.

Euro Forces is just like Armored Fury... both are just expansion packs to the original game.
Special Forces is a seperate executable.
I can see all the servers running Armored Fury and I can see the graphic of the map on the server. But when I try to join it says I need to install it.
I'd have to see your computer to figure it out. I'm sure its something silly...

Yes they will it but seems these drivers are designed for BF2 only, with other games been OK at best..... I've uninstalled them and installed the lastest ATI drivers released last week, and there just as good if not better.. I have a 800XT

I have not tried omega drivers in while, so I really can't comment how well they work with BF2. From what i've read in the ATI fourms there current drives seem to work well...which I can confirm with BF2 and other games.

I just got bf2 and it runs sooooooo poorly on my computer. takes forever for the maps to load and crashes half the time. the tweaks driver helped with performance a little but nothing huge. Its wierd cause Ican run hl2 at all high settings and at super high res but bf2 is struggling to run at all. I got the newest patch. Is it suppose to take 3 mins for a map to load? then like another 2 mins for authorizing client data or something? Im running a 2.5 with 512 ram I think and a 9800xt

512MB is definitely not enough to run BF2, even with a 2.5Ghz processor and your 9800xt card.
Right now i'm only running a cheap ATI x300 128MB card while I'm waiting for e-VGA to send me back my 7800GT but with a 2.8Ghz processor and 2 gigs of DDR2 I can run BF2 smoothly with a custom video setting balance between low/medium but at a low 800x600 resolution.
My brother is also running a cheap ATI x600 256MB card but he has a 3.4Ghz dual core processor and 3 gigs of DDR2 and he can run BF2 on a balance of medium/high
I think you'll need around 2 gigs of RAM to run this game.

You can buy a PC that will run battlefield for $500.

My PC is probably worth about $200 new.

Expecting a 5 year old computer to play today's high end games at the highest settings is nuts.

Considering I've been playing for 2 months I'd say it's about time. The only thing I really dislike about this game is it is so hard to locate people you want to play with. I hate having to use Xfire because I dont' know how to access it in the middle of a game.

I run at low detail simply because I want performance, not eyecandy whether my card can handle it or not.

i've played on both, there are HUGE differences,
BF2 for the PC is realistic, BF for 360 is not (its a lot easier to hit right on target on 360, n the PC you have to basically measure for wind
)
Attack helis on pc have 8 missles and 1 cam missle, on 360 attack helis have 160+ missles and NO RELOAD TIME
after playing on the PC and then playin MC you kill everything in sight
