i was on earlier. never see u on...

imma be on tonight.

 

Maybe someone can help me out.

I tried to connect to the internet to play BF2 and it just locked up my computer.

I created a user name (or whatever) on the first attempt per the screen, used a valid email address, and then connected and it locked up.

I then restarted and tried to connect directly by going to online mode and it looked for servers but I didn't get anything in the server list. Using different filters, all/no filters, refreshing,.. nothing worked and I couldn't get any servers.

I have cable modem and it is on all the time.

Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

 

Are you running the latest patch? v1.3 is now available.

http://www.ea.com/official/battlefie.../downloads.jsp

Download that and it should fix some, if not all of your problems.

 

Hmmm, you know what, I am not sure. I just recently purchased the game so it didin't occur to me to look for updates.

I'll try that tonight and see if it helps.

Thanks for the reminder to pull my head out and do the obvious.

 

Then you definitely need the update. The reason why you can't find any servers to play on is because you have to have the same version (patch) as the server is running to play and no one is playing on the original, out of the box, version anymore.

 

mrsteve,

Thanks for the help, that was it. I downloaded the patch last night and got right on without any problems.

Man, the EA recomended site was slow. I couldn't download from EA directly for whatever reason so I chose the link under EA's. Download time was 3.5 hours with cable modem. Holy crap.

I did a search and found a different site and the download was about 10-15 minutes.

Anyway, thanks again.

 

anyone know about where to get real hacks for bf2, theres some website that boasts that it is 100% punkbuster proof...

disclaimer: i do not plan to buy it or use one, just want to check it out

 

anyone want to buy my copy?

 

^^ fixed


http://www.msxsecurity.com/

 

ok msx is the one i found, god it looks horrible, totally ruins the game from the looks of it.....

im just sick of gettin shot by fools that i know have this...

 

so um, msx security charges for a membership fee to their forum, which supposedly allows you access to their downloads.... $20 for one week, $35 for one month.. etc

i want to test it out

 

test complete!

overall interesting but really is atrocious looking, too much stress gettin it to run properly then worrying about PBSTAFF and all kinds of other bs... the no fog feature is nice, aimbot is meh... $20 bucks for one week, and they'll charge your ass every week until you cancel the subscription thru paypal. the way they play it is you "pay for forum access" then the "hack" is free to download, the cheats are run thru a program that is similar to like a kazaa, where the "hack" is streemed to you. However, they do work, you can only use the cheats as long as you have the program/membership, the lifetime membership is $245.

They also have a fully functional forum which is pretty good, admins and moderators very helpful, FAQ's professionally laid out as well as How to's in pdf format.

In conclusion, according to the site admin there are 12,000 users playing various games.. i would say there is a 1/200 chance you'll run into someone actually using a hack in game, which is pretty high considering the amount of people playing. The aimbot IS NOT A SURE FIRE KILL, there are all kinds of calibrations, and as long as you are running or jumping, the aimbot will not guarantee a kill unless the victim is stationary. It's nice to see what the dark side has to offer, but if you are a skilled bf2 player you can STILL kick someones ass who is using a hack.

 

How does the CMDR hack work, with droping cars etc.... did you try that ?

 

Ok guys I finally got high speed internet, so give me a server you guys regularly play on so I can battle you guys sometimes!

 

CMDR hack is .... turned it on only for a second, all you have to do is hit the insert key and some kind of mystery item falls from the sky, you cant see the command screen/you cant decide whether to drop the cars or supplies

 

How do you cmd it to drop it at a excact location ?

 

as far as i can tell you cant.... although like i said i only messed with it for a quick second...

according to the how to, all you have to do is turn the cmdr hack on, then press insert, but all that happened when i did that was all kinds of shit started falling from the sky....right around me

 

Guys 1.4 patch is out, tell how it is!

http://www.ea.com/official/battlefie...c=patch14_info


BTW, can you believe that its almost been a year since this post started and we're still talking about this game...

 

post, i'm wondering if they fixed the GAY ASS new tk bs when a friendly rams you and you get the tk

 

man i need to play this game again, too bad my computer blows chunks playing it

 

anyone play 2142 beta yet?

 

heard its kinda weak soop, how bout hoppin on today??

 

Im thinking of picking this game up again and trying to install .... i got a new harddrive so maybe it will work.

 

This is why I do not play PC games online anymore. Too many haXors out there. I just play on XBOX 360 Live. Not saying it can't be hacked/cheated too, but it is much more difficult then downloading some app.

 

alas it works! Great game....do you guys use gamespy? Theres only like 5 active servers via the game engine, and also..everyone always hogs the jets!

 

Hey quick question, can you unlock all the guns in BF2? Becuase I was looking at the ranking system and you could only unlock a certain amount of guns...

 

I just discovered this game last month. Is anyone here still playing it?

 

And, yes I do know how old this thread is.

 

Thanks for bringing this from the dead, not really tho... I kind of move on to other games cause I just consider myself retired from this game. So im like a BF2 vet now lol...

 

yeah but i dont have a legitimate copy so i cant play online, who wants to give me their cd key?

 

You can buy new game for $10 now.

 

I still play the 360 version

 

i just picked this game up for 10bucks yesterday....who wants to play online tonight?

 

I still pay BF2 when I have the time. I am supposed to be playing tonight with my buddy, but he is off playing with bloody orange box right now (picked it up today).

 

Just got the game installed on my new PC, my old PC couldn't play it...

Pretty sweet game, let me know if anybody wants to match up...

 

I am up for some BF2 if you guys are playing.

 

anyone wanna give me there key? eh? eh?

 

what are the min req for this game? i play day of defeat and counter strike source is that good enough? i have a weak ass emachines 2.4 ghz 1024 ram and 200 gb harddrive.

 

how well does CS:S run? if it runs with good enough FPS you should be fine. the 1gb of ram might limit you thou.
