I'm surprised there's not a thread for this game yet. Is no one playing it??

I've played maybe a total of 3 hours and it's pretty damn good!

The resources this game uses is incredible tho. I quit the game and got a virtual memory warning. I have a gig of ram in this system and 3x that in swapfile space so I don't know why it's bitching.

Aside from that the game plays really well once everything is loaded. Even at medium for the graphics, things look great. Very realistic but I like the choppers better in POE; much more maneuverable. They dumb them down in BF2 so they're easier to fly.

I will be buying it on the 22nd.

 

I've been having lots of fun with the demo too. Can't wait for the full version next week .

 

yeah dudes, GO BF2!!!

It takes a while to transition from DC to BF2. I love it. What server do you guys play in?

 

I'm playing on it... decided to take a few screenshots, its an excellent game , looking forward to the Full version

 

Man, I can't till Tuesday.

 

CompUSA has a pretty good deal for anyone who planning on buy BF2.

I've been playing on MOO something or other 64 person server. Lots of fun so far.

 

man i just played for like 6 hours today OMG its soo fun.. dude the best kills are killing people with the shock paddles

 

F900 what kinda comp/video card you got mines doesnt look nearly anything like that, mines looks more like BF1942/DC

 

wow the water looks awesome in the last pic....... not to mention the rest of the graphics...... can you fly that jet????? the heli????

 

Mixouse, the pictures shown are Med settings with a ATI 9800 Pro,

In your icon on your desktop, right click and enter what is below into Target

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 Demo\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024

Try that and see if it makes a difference.


srika,

you can fly anyone the jets and heils.........

Your right the water does look real..

 

damn I think I will have to get this..... I had BV but never really got into it.....

 

any lag issues?

 

I have an extra copy of Battlefield 2 DVD version on sale on the Private Sale forum if you guys are interested.

Here is the link:

A little. I typically have ping of ~20 and experienced some choppiness, but overall it wasn't bad, only annoying. I did experience some CTDs and clicking on the "play now" button threw the game into nonresponse mode.

 

There's some issues I'm having with lag too, even with low pings so there might be some coding issues there. Nothing a patch can't fix.

I've played a lot of POE, the mod to BFV, and I'm used to flying the coppers there. The choppers in BF2 are seriously dumbed down most likely to make it easier for beginners. They move like pigs tho. Too bad they don't offer a toggle for beginner and advanced pilots.

Aside from that, the game is great but playing some of the new maps with 64 players can be frustrating. Death comes quick and from unknown directions.

Oh, is anyone using Gamespy instead of the built-in multiplayer (crapola) interface? I can't get GS to see the game as being installed!!

P.S. I'm upgrading my processor b/c of this game. AMD 64 3700+ Claw Hammer. It needed it anyway.

 

^^^ how much RAM you got installed


As for the lag there are a few quick fixs, when i start on a map, i'll get Lag for about 30secs but once i move around, its smooth sailing...and its gone.

I'll post some tips about how to get rid of the lag later

 

all of the internode servers are pretty good. Not laggy at all.

 

I have a Gig or ram, Corsair XMS 3200, 2x512.

Last night I was on a 32 player server with a ping of 40ish and had no lag so it's def. the server and the ping of the other plays, as usual.

Do the server admins have a player ping restrictions??

And yeah, post the tips!!

 

Been playing for weeks... Ranked servers are the way to go since they are more fun... The graphics are awesome... I mostly plan on the Ranked EA-games servers...

 

^^ agreed...

Btw here are the FAQ on ranks and medals

Hey F900 wat demo verison do you have because that doesn't look like the demo I have. But anyways, the demo I have has taken countless hours of my life, becuase its so addictively fun. Since my PC could run the demo do you believe I can run the full verison too, it would make sense wouldnt it?

PC Specs:
1.47 Ghz AMD XP
512 SDRAM
120 gig HD
Geforce FX 5200 128DDR
56 k

I know I will never never ever play this game online, but single player is just too fun.

 

get the full version. It is well worth it. Where in Glendale are you?

 

The 1.03 patch is delayed!

But, ATI peeps, upgrade to Catalyst 5.8 to fix some bugs with BF2.

 

Downloading it at home, Looks mighty fun, I loved all the other BF's, this one looks even beter then all the others...I just hope my PC can play it...

 

Is Battlefield Vietnam in the same 'series' as BF 2? Or are they completely un-related?

 

Unrelated, BF2 is a modern day sequel to the rest of the BF games....

 

cool thanks
