Battlefield 2 Demo out NOW!!

[R2HKS]

Battlefield 2 demo has just been released. Its extremely difficult to get at the moment due to the insane demand. I have never, ever, seen anything like the demand that this game is causing. If you are a member of GameArena, go there 1st. If not they have temporarily disabled new membership signups because of the immense demand. Gamespot has it also but good luck trying to get it from there as the servers are packed.

Many, many places don't have it yet as they are not allowed to release it yet until 2pm tomorrow USA time.

Here is the torrent for it, http://torrentspy.com/search.asp?mode=torr...tails&id=326061 (click dowload torrent) this has been checked, its the real deal. BTW you don't need a password to open it. If you don't know anything about torrents, download a torrent client like Azureus, then download java, then download that torrent link posted then double click the torrent file and it will start downloading. The download will start at slow speed, don't worry it will speed up.

So far I have only played the Single Player part of the game. The game is a timed game and only lasts 10mins which sucks and I am about to start up a multiplayer server and try that aspect of it.

Good luck getting it, its well worth it.

See you on the battlefield soldier.

Cheers

BF2 is awesome, only thing I dislike or hate are the heli's compared to BFV they suck, put simply they don't rotate fast enough especially compared to BFV and you can't do the same manoveurs as a heli in BFV. Other than that, the rest of the game is awesome. Played some great games tonight on a pub server, it was the 1st time I had experienced the VOIP (voice over IP) This is by far one of the best features of this game.

I was the Squad commader of Squad 3 and spoke directly to the commander. The 1st commander we had was excellent issuing commands for attack/defence which lead us to taking all the flags over easily and having the upper hand. The second commander, (sorry Mrs I have to say it) was another chick gamer hehe. I'm use to it because my Mrs plays all sorts of games including drifting in Need for Speed Underground 2, Battlefield Vietnam and now Battlefield 2, but it was cool to see another chick playing BF2 and not only that being the commander. She started off slow, but then she was issuing commands which again lead us to having all the flags and winning the game. VOIP adds so much more to this game, sure we all use Teamspeak but to be able to communicate with your squad and your squad commander is very cool. Its this aspect of the game that makes it radically different to any of the previous BF's. BF2 is about teamplay whereas the other BF's were basically a do as you please game which you can still do in BF2 but you won't get far as a team.

Also unlike all the other BF's this is modern weapons. Weapons like surface to air heatseeking missles, heli's and planes have flares to counter these. Planes have heatseekers, the medic has a defribulator which you can kick start a wounded soldier and also use it to kill the enemy by shocking them etc etc

Put simply this is the best online game that you will play at the moment and probably for a while to come. The netcode is excellent which means that you can easily play a game with over a 200 ping and its so smooth you'd swear you were playing it on a LAN.

Just to make sure anyone thinking of playing/buying it here are the minimum specs including vid cards that are supported:

Minimum Specification Machine:

1.7 Ghz CPU

512 Megabytes of RAM

128 MB video card (must support 1.4 shaders

Video Cards

Battlefield 2 only supports the following video cards:

Radeon X700 (PCIe)

Radeon X600 (PCIe)

GeForce 6600 (PCIe)

GeForce PCX 5900 (PCIe)

GeForce 5800 Series (AGP)

ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition

ATI Radeon X800 PRO

ATI Radeon 9800 Series

ATI Radeon 9600 Series

ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350LX)

ATI Radeon 9500 / 9700 Series

ATI Radeon 8500 Series

ATI Radeon X300 Series

NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra

NVidia GeForce 6800 GT

NVidia GeForce 6800

NVidia GeForce FX 5950 Series

NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Series

NVidia GeForce FX 5700 Series

I suggest a minimum of 1 gig of ram, 2 gig to get the best out of this game. A 256mb vid card like a 6600GT/6800GT a 3.0ghz cpu+ This game needs some grunt.

Cool, good to know, I also play on those servers, I'll keep an eye out for you 'blakrok', R2HKS is my nick, when we catch up we should form a squad and go and get some.

Maybe the rest of you guys who play should also put your nicks you use for this game in this thread so we know who is who and game on!

See you on the battlefield soldier

EA has banned all the modded BF2 demo servers (any server with no time limit/unlocked weapons) By banned I mean they have removed all these servers from their master server list so they don't show up in the in-game server list but they still apparently appear in the ASE master server list.

The 12min time limit for the demo sucks. I know its a demo and only supposed to give you a taste/tease until the retail version comes out and encourage you to buy it but 12mins is not long enough. EA originally said the multiplayer demo would have a 30min time limit. But of course some idiot in a suit changed this to only 12mins for the multiplayer game and only 10mins for the singleplayer.

If they didn't want people to unlock the time limit and unlock the weapons then why make it so easy to do. To unlock the timelimit it only requires 1 keystroke to rem out the line using # infront of it. My 3yr old could do this. As for the unlocked weapons why then include the unlocked weapons in the demo at all so they can be unlocked. Thats just dumb. Also EA encourage modding of the BF games, even supply a mod creating editor with everygame and have even pre-released it before the retail version is shipped. They also hired the DC guys to help make BF2, its a contradiction.
