yea i definatly agree R2HKS,

oh n dont know if uve tried this yet r2HKS but in bf-vn wen ur an american, fly a chinook and pik up one of them repair boat thingis full of people at and fly at low height. its quite funnie coz the boat can cop a big ass kicking b4 it goes down and if you happen to get hit the boat will reapir u too, n if it becomes a handfull drop it on enemy tanks or watever.. nice lil area effect lol

Yeah we can do that no probs and its very funny hey when you drop a boat on someone, death by falling boat hehe. Have you downloaded and watched this stunt vid yet? http://r2clan.com/modules.php?name=...viewtopic&t=965 Then try and do some of those stunts. BTW the video was done using the patched retail version of the game, not any stunt mod at all. Check out the heli's that are floating in mid air and one of my favourites, the jeep sitting on top of the heli's, also the 2 heli's at the end that are merged together and the Mi8 that is sunken into the ground. Top vid and like I said "Aussie of course and the best BFV Stunt vid there is bar none, thats why is called The Ultimate BFV Stunt Vid"

So when are you going to swing by www.r2clan.com and sign up, say hi in the Say Hi to Raging Rebels thread and come and have a game with us?

Seen you soon mate! :D

Cheers

probably, this game is very advanced and requires very high end components...although it should run, just very jerkily (is that a word!) on your machine..

mine is similar (Athlon 2.2Ghz, FX5700, 1ghz ram) and it doesnt play MoH: Pacific Assault without jerking.....it does run the game tho.

I had the same boot and crash problems with a few games but I can't remember what they were now

UPGRADE ALERT! :( (for both of us...)

Ok lots have had this problem with booting into the game then it drops you back to windows its mostly caused by 2 things A: your PC doesn't meet minimum specs, such as nghiagero Ti4200 is not supported.Topaz your FX5700 only just makes the grade but it is supported and B: its a vid card driver problem. Make sure you install Directx 9.0c that comes with the game (even if you already have it installed) and install the Nvidia 77.30 driver that comes with the game obviously for Nvidia cards only or download the 5.6 catalyst driver for ATI(there are some problems with this driver that ATI are aware of like the game freezing, texture corruption so keep a lookut for a new ATI driver)

Topaz your PC makes the grade and it should run ok if you set the detail to 800x600 medium detail. Make sure you use the 77.30 driver that comes with the game, Nvidia haven't released this yet on their site.

As for nghiagero your Ti4200 is not supported. However if you upgrade your vid card you will be fine to play the game but I'd make sure you have min 1 gig of ram, this game is very ram hungry otherwise your hard drive will make up the difference and it will lag the game. Until you upgrade your vid card you won't be able to play it.

Ok I've played the BF2 demo a fair bit now to get a good feel for it and have a few problems with it.

Firstly being a heli whore from BFV and absolutely loving flying the helis, the BF2 heli's really suck. The problem is the rotate speed or lack of it. This presumably was done to satisfy all the whinging noobs in BFV from getting owned by us heli whores. Not my fault they didn't have any skill to fly a heli at all but it looks like they have won. The heli's are all about the co-pilot now, which I can live with as I'm a team player but what sucks is when you get a co-pilot thats not in your squad and just can't use the tv guided missiles. I steady up for them so they can aim at say a tank and I even say like TV now then they shoot off a few rounds with the cannon which does nothing to a tank. Arggh that annoys me.

2ndly is the relative ease to TeamKill (TK) someone. I'm not a TK'er unless someone does it to me on purpose, then I spawn and knife the idiot, but the accidental TK's are so easy to do. Spin a tank around and you TK someone, same doing it with a heli. These have all been accidents yet the guys that got tk'ed all chosen to tkpunish even after I say sorry like I always do. Get too many people tkpunishing you and you get banned from the server. This is going to be a major problem especially on ranked servers where friendly fire (FF) is on, same with TKpunish. I don't think I'll play commander on ranked servers unless my whole team are R2 guys otherwise on so many occasions I have warned of incoming artillery strike, yet some noob in an APC filled with noobs goes into that base as the arty hits then they all tkpunish you. grrrrr Like I said this will be a major problem.

The other thing that has annoyed me is the rambo/lone soldiers out there. BF2 is a team game which means "all" should join or form a squad. Playing commander I had squad 1 with 6 people in it. Squad 2 had 1 person and the rest were all one man armies. No matter how many times I politely asked all these rambos to join or form a squad it didn't happen. Whilst squad 1 were excellent and followed all commands, you can't win a war with only 1 squad.

Having said that Voice Over IP (VOIP) is excellent and really makes this game but its only good when everyone is in a squad. Its useless when a non squad member hops in as co-pilot in your heli. The heli pilot needs an ejetca-noob seat or should be able to block non squad members from getting into the co-pilot seat.

Give it a month and just about everyone will be banned from Aussie servers because of the accidental tk'ing and resulting tkpunish. Only good thing will be if you haven't be banned it will be easier to get onto the limited number of ranked servers.

Other than that BF2 is kickass!!!

I've been playing the Demo non stop these last few days....tis awesome :)

Never really got into BF1942 of BF Vietnam...maybe due to not having decent Internet connection...but now with 1.5mghz different story.

I'm still learning so sounds like I should stay out of your way R2HKS :rofl: as i'm still unsure of a lot of the game features and politics....although definately do not stupid stuff such as deliberatly shooting own men....this shits me whilst standing on the carrier waiting for a ride people will take pot shots at you!

Helis I can fly OK......Planes I struggle....either map to small or i'm flying to fast....?

Love gettin a ride in the blackhawk with a good heli pilot and hanging out the side with the railgun thingy :(

Sniper or Special ops favourate whilst on the ground.

Probably grab the full game tommorow...I highly recommended the game to anyone that has'nt tried it, or maybe is unfamilier with the genre ;)

I'm getting my 2 copies tomorrow, damn I'm getting stung too at $89.95 for each copy getting 2, one for me and one for the Mrs. Yes thats right my wife is playing also watch out for her she is a sneaky bitch. hmm makes me wonder what else she gets up too.

I had to still pre-order mine so I get the Logitech official BF2 headsets with each copy also.

I would also like to announce that our clan « R²» Raging Rebels have just setup our own BF2 Retail conquest server. The server name is www.r2clan.com come and join us for a bit of fun. A further annoucement regarding this server will come soon!

I hope I'll catch up with some of my fellow SAU buds, doesn't matter whether you are a noob or a gun BF2'er its all about us Aussie's having some fun and getting some!! Maybe we can pick up some potential BF2 recruits from SAU. We are after especially some more Aussie recruits as we want to enter a gun team in the GameArena BF2 ladder. We'll get our 2 copies tomorrow and will be spending some time testing our new server then I hope we can all get together for a game!!

From what I hear from our US guys so far is the ranked servers are very laggy. It doesn't matter how your PC is or how its setup its got to do with the ranked servers. Watch out for a patch to fix this soon from EA.

Glad to see we have some guys here from SAU going to play I hope to catch up with you guys soon, just make sure you are on my team or you will be in my sights muhahahaa.

Cheers

Also I hear the Gamearena ranked servers are having ranking problems where it doesnt update your rank and medals.

When I get my comp back I will defenatly check out your R2 server.

OK this is a world wide problem at the moment about ranked servers. Firstly all ranked servers are very laggy, secondly the ranking updates are very slow,not just for GA servers but all ranked servers, like next day if you are lucky. There is a major problem with the ranked servers at the moment.

Stay tuned I will have more info about this as our own server is undergoing ranked status which if you are aware is extremely difficult to achieve but hopefully in 24hrs I can come back and confirm our R2 server will be one of the few in the world to achieve Official Trusted Ranked Server Status. I can't confirm this at this stage but we are suposed to be a ranked server. This has taken more effort than you can believe as clan servers are only supposed to be unranked and hopefully we will be one of the very few in the world to achieve official trusted ranked server status. I have a long 24hrs ahead of me which I'd rather be playing BF2

but it will be all worth it if we achieve ranked status.

BTW all ranked servers are packed. It will be very hard getting onto "any' ranked server in the world atm. Good luck if you do get onto a ranked server, if you do stay on there because it will be hard getting back on.

See you on the Battlefield soldier, I just hope you are on my team.... muhahahaaa

Cheers
