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!

but it doesnt list the 6600gt, i want to get a 6600gt agp, so it would work with my current mobo, just want to make sure it will play bf2.

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.

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

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...

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.

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

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

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 |
