ok.... so i download and install. but i cant run it
i go play demo, it jumps to a black screen, then my monitor autoadjusts. and jumps back to desktop... wtf...anyone else had this problem>

edit: i noticed u need a geforce FX or greater. i have geforce4 ti 4200 with agp8x.. is that lower than Fx?

the entire geforce4 ti series is not supported by BF2. there is a shader mod available to dl that will allow you to play it, but i heard that the games looks like crap.

im in the same boat as you, looks like i will be upgrading to a 6600gt or something.

My friend's using 6600GT with I think P4 3.2 and 1 Gig RAM. He can run in full detail at 1024 resolution with pretty decent framerates. :D

my frind has the geoforce 4 and uses that bf2shader mod and te game looks so bad

he needs to upgrade

ya usually i like to take over flags so if im going solo i go assualt or anti tank.

Base defense = eng. or anti tank

and when im in a group with friends im the medic. I always get top score when im medic, my friends die allot :)

most fun ive had is when i played with my 2 buds. driving around in the jeep takeing over flags and raiding there flags, we had a good mix. 2 anti tanks and then me being a medic.

I fly a mean bird w/ the keyboard in Desert Combat!

I can't stand punks who take TK ppl just to take the planes and choppers and end up crashing off take off..

I love greifing the guys who sit and wait for planes by either sniping them or blowing them up with the special forces guy. Probably because I suck at flying and hate being blow up by the planes.

Man, that Flanker killed me so many times...

Which server do you guys play at and what's the ip?

Maybe we can get a RS game going :D

I've played on East Coast Raiders... I suppose I should try logging on to West Coast Raiders. :D Very good ping and lots of players (50+ most of the time).

Love the new artilitary support, Deadly accurate and doesn't need an operator.

There are a whole bunch of torrents for BF2 out already. :o

3 more days! :D

:werd: I don't think I have EVER seen someone use artillery properly in BF1942

ya i cant wait till it comes out, im practiceing with different weapons seeing what suits me best. so far if im going solo i go anti tank ( need the missles to take out the tanks! )

if im group i like to go assualt or medic depending on what we need.

Yea, I love the commander system with artillery support, supplies drop, and UAV.

In the past, it's pissing annoying that either 1) no one spots for your artillery, 2) no one's on the artillery when you spot. Though I admit there were a few times when it actually worked, then again the artillery would be a little too accurate.

Love the working HUD too. The locking and missle behavior is a lot better now (not that it would satisfy most sim players, but it's a really good compromise).

I pre-ordered mine already. :D Will there be an RS server? :D

Hooray for SkinnyPupp! :D

How do you guys use the commander system with artillery support, supplies drop, and UAV?

I tried flying a plane the other night and I just ended up crashing in the ocean :lol

Woops, miss that part.

Just press "enter" for the kit screen, then click on the "squad" tab. You'll see a spot for commander and squads for you to join. Click "apply" for the commander's spot. If it's not taken, it'll ask you if you want to be the commander later. If you get the position, just press "cap lock" to bring up the menu for placing orders.

Ah so it's a commander only thing...thanks!

[edit] I have another question. When you're near the enemy base and the voice tells you that you can destroy this and that to cripple the enemie's communications...what do you use to destroy it? Grenades don't work and the launcher that comes with the assault kit doesn't work either. Will I need to use a missle from the anti-tank?

First time playing the BF series so sorry for these questions :p

special forces ^^^ use the c4

anti tank missles dont work either :(

Ah I see

For the C4 is it self timed or can you trigger it?

Kinda stupid how anti-tank missles of all things can't blow those up :lol

you trigger it

I hate the server browser though; no friends list or fav servers, and its laggy as hell. Reviews say that its like that in the full version as well :( Maybe a patch in the near future..

arg just finished getting the game, but my computer is at ncix cuz they wanted to look at it, even though it's their video card thats not working. i guess thats a good thing, since i have my calculus midterm on wednesday

Argh, they are out of stock for the DVD version.

You right click to bring out the remote detonator.
