your points... like.. this round u have 100 points
so youre 100 points closer to get promoted.

to get medals ribbons or badges u have to do particular things. some of them require a crazy amount of hours, kills, or kill to death ratio..

but promotion is just like

u need 500 points to get to private first class.. so if u get 100 points in a game on average. u just have to play 5 games.

You just have to play a lot but if you're really good you obviously get more points faster.

i h8 how the sniper rifle, unlocked one, still takes so many hits to kill, guess its the lag... cuz it looks like i hit the guys everytime but it says my aim is 38% -_-

Much different then playing CS and using the AWP ;)

You can tell if you hit the guy because of the X over the crosshair.

the unlocked sniper rifle is the same strength as the normal one. except it can shoot through armored glass.. ie. vehicle glass.

so you can kill the drivers. and it makes a big boom so everyone knows where you are. that's about it

ok can one of u guys explain a thing or two about ASE.

so.. its like a "friends list" prog.. that can see which games my friends are in? so then.. its basically like game spy but.. what makes it better?

Actually, it's supposed to be a multi-game server browser.

For example, if you have Doom3 and BF2.

You can choose to filter BF2 only, and let's say, you want only the ranked servers that have FF on, with PB, and not empty. All that can be done in ASE. The same can be done to other games, such as BF1942, AOE, CS, HL2, Jedi Knight, Unreal, etc... The list goes on. Other filters include, game version, VOIP, ping, geographic location, server specs, global unlocks, map size, maps, time limit, autoblance... and more. Btw, this can be done MUCH quicker than the built-in one in BF2.

You can choose servers that you can store in your favorites folder(s). The servers list will show information such as IP, pack lost %, ping, name, flux, map, game type, and location.

The friends' list is another feature of ASE. You can track where each other is. All you do, is click on the server that your friend is on (which will show up on your friends' list), and it'll launch automatically and join that particular server.

The best thing is, it's free to try (for 7 days, and 7 days more, and 7 days...).

oh.. u have to pay for it? do you guys? ;)

sounds really useful.

Well... I'm quite indecisive, I think I'll have to try for 7 more days. ;)

Seriously, it's so good. I'm actually considering it.

FYI, there are some kits on EA's website for modders out there.

we should get a game going
never see anyone on SkinnyPupp's server

uhmm GET XFIRE its the same thing and its free.......

I just got this game today, and it's really pissing me off
why does it take forever to connect to my account?
I couldn't wait any longer, had to press crtl|artdel million times to get it stop

Do you have a router? If you do, make sure you forward the ports.

And I think they're having issues with their servers, but I haven't been affected.

where do you guys play?
any good server?

god damn voting system sucks

we had 2 guys tk'in the shit out of our team and when we tried to kick them it required an insane amount of yes votes to kick them

I usually play on this one:

Emerald Forest Seattle BF2 - 66.150.164.197:16567

hi all

finally upgrade my video card to run this and my goodness this game is great! love the squad based system, and it's even better with built in mic support.
anyways, who still plays actively? somebody should setup like a msn/icq contact list or something. i see some have the ase program so i'm going to give that a try.

I had this same problem it would take like 1-2min just to login WAY TOOO LONG, should take max 5seconds. The problem got fixed after I updated to the newest patch, so you should give that a try

I do.
My ASE # is 11590883
handle: Kenjai
Full name: Ken

ASE #: 12082833
Name: Kev
Handle: Ch28

I see Kenjai on right now :D

I saw you too. :D

Sorry I flew away in the chopper, someone took your spot. :D

I was going to knife you in the face but you died :(

BF2 developers EA and DICE got hammered by Tom's Hardware....

http://www.tomshardware.com/column/20050813/index.html

Finally someone has the ball to do what many have been wanting to at them....

He's got a good point, actually many.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that don't get too many of these bugs.

what's ASE?:confused:
