If you are buying a new video card, go straight to 6600GT. You can overclock it to 6800 (none GT) performance.

i got dvd version at FS in richmond, they called me when they got it in :)

They called you?

I got pre-order and nobody gave me no stinking phone call....but then again it's the Metrotown branch and they lick ass when it comes to customer service.

I stood in line for 30 mins waiting and all I wanted to do was get my fucken game! There was a line of 6 people and only 2 CSRs working there.

Does anybody want to play tonight on skinnypupp's server?

I'm down :D

Wow, the server was pretty much filled with all 64 players tonight! Mostly guys from a clan called PDX

Then this happened:

I'll try to find out wtf going on ; that is just unacceptable.

I have to play the game on my laptop, because it won't run longer than 10 mins on my desktop before crashing :(

I'm running it off my Dell 6000 and it's fine.

Does that mean those guys were hacking and that's why "Punkbuster" is in those commands?

anyone else having problems with the game crashing? for me after couple min the game just crashes

Is this the retail dvd/cd version or a pirated copy?

I find that sometimes my game just freezes on me during the online server menu. I can still hear the music and my mouse can still move around but when I click nothing responds.

From the threads I read at gamefaqs ati cards have been having crashing problems.

Luckily mine hasn't been crashing yet (touch wood), but I'm getting aweful lag spikes. Frame rates are good, it's just choppy.

I find single player isn't as fun as multiplayer...AI just doesn't follow orders as well as real life players :p

We should start up a revscene clan :D

Kev, the more time you spend on this, the faster I will surpass you in WoW. :p

got my copy yesterday............all i can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!

ya i also got it yesterday.

Some maps are ALLOT better then others... but overall i had allot of fun.

there was this one city map that totally reminded me of BLACK HAWK DOWN, when the squads were fighting in the city... fucken wicked map.

No, Punkbuster is just a piece of shit.
Yup. Be sure to update your drivers though. My desktop crashes all the time, but my laptop plays it no problem.

Luckily my laptop is more powerful than most peoples' desktops ;)

Nobody else is getting lag spikes?

i had awesome ping yesterday.

Skinnypup, is your server a ranking server?

Hmm... I read just forumplanet.com and it seems a lot of people have that problem too, regardless of the video card (ie. X800, 6800).

Btw, it's not the ping or framerate, they're just occasional lag spikes (even with like a 60 ping or lower).

Someone suggested manually updating PB... wonder if that will help.

ahhh.... well i noticed no lag spikes last night, i was playing at LATE hours though 11pm-2am

So anyone going on Skinny's server around 10-11 tonight? :)

I think so.. At least I have ranking enabled in the settings.

Yes ALL THE TIME. Although not on my server, oddly enough. Then again, my server has that little problem where it just kicks EVERYONE off at once :mad:

this card decent enough to play bf2?

This is the error i get
http://img294.echo.cx/img294/5637/bf2error9qr.jpg

Everything loads up fine but once I start playing anywhere from 10seconds to 2min into the game I get this error. I have updated drivers, even used driver cleaner and started from scratch by reinstalling the game. BTW the demo runs fine no problems

again system specs are
p4 2.4
1gig ram
6600gt
asus mobo
