i have hardly played bf2 ...i played it so much on the demo that it wasn't funny..then stopped playing when i got the full version lol

i'll get back into it, but i just have to be in the mood...

what i found was that after updating with all the required patches etc, that the game was slightly jumpy in places...and considering my pc is more than up to par with the required specs, i think it might be something in the update...

[REdgtst]

Yeah it is bloody system resource hungry!!!!!!!!. Unfortunately dont have broadand so not much point plying over the net!!!!. Finished all the single player levels on expert though and have to say is the best first person shooter that i have ever played (so many options/vehicles/aircraftetc). Runs fine (smooth as) on the highest res i could get (1024) but do have gig o ram, and radeon 9800 card).

I can only imagine what it would be like multiplayer... Drool ..... Sppoooooofffff!!!!!.

If anyone is looking to upgrade, I can't recommend going SLi twin video cards. I had a Radeon 9800pro that ran most of the pre BF2 games really well, though the jump is extraordinary.. you can run ANY game in 1600 res and it's smooth not to mention the insane light rendering etc that takes use of direct X 9C it really makes a visual difference - definately warmer more realist graphics at speed. 2 x Geforce 6600GT's are the way to go for bang for buck

HOLY JESUS!

1600 is one bitch ass high rez....

I've just got a new comp which the bottle neck of the system is the vid card.....

3.4 Duel Core, 1G Ram, BUT a shitty ass PCIe X300

How much do the 6600GT's retail for? I might look into getting some!

[DriftR_33]

bf2 is sick fun when you hung over and f**ked....

jets own.. average like 20 30 kills

[PurpleR32]

I love it. One of the best games you can play on-line in my opinion. My brother was saying something about EA not irioning out all the bugs for video cards or something. His screen goes black if he plays it on-line for too long. Still an awsome game though.

[dezz]

only certain cards can play the game, but there are patches around to make others work....

but from the screenshots ive seen of people doing that, the detail is so low that it ruins the game

Agreed. But what are the video cards that will play the game constantly, ones that you dont need crappy EA patches

are you refering to the 9800 running at 1600 res?

[dezz]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

there was a list of the cards supported when the game came out...look on the official site etc. cant remember where it was

I had the same problem. It turned out to be my antivirus/firewall.

[sindows]

I had the same problem with like <50ms pings..

It just seemed to go away...

But everytime i the round finishes, as in my side wins or the other side wins it flashes on the screen for like 4 seconds there is a problem with your connection and then the loading music comes and its fine....

[BiZzReVhEad]

I play BF2 all the time , have a rank of Master Sergent. Also dont seem to find much problems running the game on my Computer, 2gig ram AMDx64bit . 256mb 6800, usual crap.

You can also edit the intro movies out so you can go direct to the account screen and save about 450mbs of movie.

Gotta love the Jets huh Dont Shoot me to much if any one sees me in any servers.

Silver , Also your problem could be from the server itself, It happens to me allot (optus dsl) , i dont think its your problem but if it is id check your settings over and make sure u have most apps. closed when running BF2 (using cntrl ,alt del. and shutting down some (username) apps (not the system ones )

[dezz]

yep

bf2 loves the RAM

uses close to a gig just sitting at the menu

[Topaz]

Thats why I am getting another set of ram, for this game

it runs ok for me at the mo, but I wanted more anyway

Also, this game rocks, but not so much while your a noob!

[Freddy Kruger]

i bought it for myself yesterday. it does love the memory doesnt it.

ive got a 3.2ghz pentium 4, 1 gig ram, an ATI Radeon 9600xt. and it seems to run ok at 800x600 anything higher and i can read the writing stupid crappy monitor...

[Nozila]

your missing out if you only run it at 800x600. should be at least 1280*1024 resolution with most if not all detail set to high.

[Freddy Kruger]

ill have a dip and see how my comp goes at those res... it didnt like anything higer than 800x600 in doom3... but that was doom3...
