just finished playing it with 2 friends... all i can say is wow wow wow... i thought it was fun solo, man once u get into squads and use voice chat.... so much fun.

My squad was ripping shit up, taking over flags here and there, mowing down some US troops. And then of course my buddy running us over with viechles like 5x... then getting booted from the server HAHA quasi u suck!

I have a 6600 gt pci express

working perfect on the highest settings

Which server are you guys at? :p


Btw, can you lock on to targets with the attack heli? I occasionally get that reticle on the HUD.

where do i dl this mod you speak of?

i didnt save the url, but this is the file name
BF2ShaderMod.zip
search it up

it works pretty good, i get fairly high frame rates, just no texture on the buildings and grass.

I tried the driver which came with the demo, now I am able to run at high quality graphics smoothly. The demo did not allow me to change graphic settings with the original Nvidia driver.

I just checked on Futureshop and have both the CD and DVD versions for sale.

wats the diff in CD and DVD version?

damn preordered at EB already maybe I should cancel the preorder and preorder at FS

One is on CD, one is on DVD

Probably one DVD vs 4 or more CDs.

Just played the demo and wow this game is pretty good!

P-M 1.5ghz
512mb ram
128mb ati x300

Takes awhile to load the maps on single player though...if I up my ram to a gig do you guys think that'll help?

1GB of ram would help. 2GB would be even better. Even the first Battlefield game benefits from a ton of system memory.

anyone use a joystick to pilot the planes/helicopters?

Thinking about buying one, but not sure yet.

I've been MS Sidewinder Force Feedback (II or Pro or something? Can't remember.) ever since Vietnam. It makes flying a lot smoother and easier. (Notice how you can't press more than 2 or 3 keys at a time?) Now you can maneuver, incrementally adjust the throttle, and shoot at the same time. Having flare, map, and such buttons map to the stick helps. :)

I just got the pre-order at the Metro FS. The game comes out next Thursday right?

Do I bring in the box or do I just show them my reciept? I've never pre-ordered anything from FS before...

Where on Futureshop's website does it say they'll include a headset? I kinda want to see what it looks like. :p

its in store only, it was in the flyer last week. think the sale ended on the 16th according to the flyer.

i got it, it looks like one of those wrap around headphones that goes behind the head, and the mic comes out from the left. not bad i guess, theres 2 jacks, headphones are stereo im assuming cause the jack has 2 bands. i gave it to my cuz cause i dont have any free ports to plug it in to my o/b sound.
i have a usb headset anyways.

buddy at the broadway store told me i could choose when i come in to claim it. definitely getting the dvd cause installing hl2 cd-rom sucked ass.

Oh, doh! Oh well, I'll just stick to my current one. :p

So anyone figure out how to lock on with Heli's?

Just spent the past hour playing online. There's something satisfying about killing people with landmines...:lol

I would be surprised to know anyone who can fly and kill ppl without a stick...especially the choppers.

so whats everyones fav class?

i like being the medic, but it sucks not beable to have any anti tank crap. when i base D im ususally anti tank class or engineer for land mines.

i think they need to make the assualt class a bit better, know ever picks them, i tried the nady launcher with ok success, hard to get use to the range

Since everyone's riffle are about as effective as BB guns ( ok, ok, the anti-tank & Special Ops shoot water pistols) It makes sense to pick a engineer or anti-tank so you can also perform some other tasks.;)

So far I'm leaning on the assault and sniper class.

Assault if I want to join in on the action and sniper if I want to keep my distance/defend. I drop 2 mines around the flag and defend from up top so if I die chances are people will rush the flag blowing themselves up :lol
