hey quick question about servers and pings.

The lowest ping i see is 125 and it goes up to 500 and the rest are zeros.

is anyone else having this problem?

i am using shaw internet. I do have a router but i tried playing it without the router and still the same problem.

the ping numbers were never accurate

i was worry it about it at first, but then i had no problem in any of those 100's ping servers, I've seen the number dropped to 40s but I didn't feel any difference.

i'm thinking about getting this game... how's the community and how's the general population right now? I hate buying an online game only to find that not many ppl play it.

Well not as many people playing as you would expect honestly, only around 1 million accounts around the world playing it. Nothing like CS.

I just fought myself into 200k th and going up

The 1.2 patch is out!

sweet. guess it's time to play bf2.

has anyone brought the booster pack?

damn its painfully slow :(

16k a sec... ouch!!

i hear extra unlocks for ppl! bring on the GUNS!!!!

finally a good reason to unlock the sniper rifle. upgraded accuracy.

Which booster pack? The Special Forces? I have that one. Not bad I suppose. It's worth the $10 for an "EA" friend. :D

For some reason I'm having trouble joining some SF servers... it kicks me sometimes.

that booster pack....though it was already out but it not i think.

i couldn't wait from my friend at EA to get special forces so i went and brought it at EB :(

Getright works on the EA server. :D

Last night the game suddenly unlocked like 6 weapons for me. :D I'm liking the sniper rifle. :)

6 guns?! Kick ass!!!

I installed it this before before heading to work, but no time to check it out yet :(

What rank are you? I'm still only a sergant so I dunno if i'll get any weapons... *fingers crossed*

anyone still playing this game? I just bought the deluxe edition

BF2 deluxe or 1942 deluxe? I don't think BF2 deluxe is out yet.

How is the gameplay now with all the patches that have come out?

I'm considering getting it again since I'm running a better system now

Its still good. if u have never played it before i suggest you do, it still fun.

there was some issues with 1.3 and servers crashing and such, but i'm pretty sure thats been resolved. I never have a problem anymore

i'm still loving the game. Its awsome :)

BF2 deluxe came out recentley... comes with special forces expansion

I bought the game when it first came out and played it for a bit then I sold it.

I got tired of the game always freezing on me and the damn server menu would always lock up/slow down to a crawl.

Is that fixed yet or is it still just as bad?

i've been playing since nov. and i've never really seen those issues.

There have been some headache following a patch release for a short time, but then thats fixed and all is well again (until they release another patch, then its another short period of odd things going on).

but all in all since nov. i've had very very few problems.

i dont know about server crashing but I have problem with game automatically shutting down after map load, and radom disconnect, been having problem since 1.2 and 1.3 didn't fix anything

what's a good way to practice flying vehicles? start my own server or something? is the best way to control a plane/copter w/ a mouse?

start with bomber, eg Eagle
bombers can't make tight turns but they are easier to fly
if you are just starting out and fly J10 or hornet, you'll be crashing all over the place

in general, no keyboard/mouse pilot can touch joystick pilot

but for helo, keyboard mouse is better

use whatever works better for you
I tried to fly with joystick but didn't work for me, i went back to keyboard
