Games were good for 2 rounds there! I had fun as a commander, and really got going in the second round ;)

My nick is lowlight btw (my original RS name too)

There are some ranked servers out there, but they are almost always full, and laggy as fuck. EA really messed up when it comes to the ranking system.

The only real laggy ranked servers out there are the Art of War Central ones (there's quite a bit of them..which is probably the reason for the lag), the other ones are just fine if you have a good ping.

Other reasons for lag is if the server has BattleRecorder on and there's people saving the info.

Need some help from you guys. I know nothing about computers but i tested the game, got hooked heh and got a free copy with my ea employee points.

I have a AMD 1.4 and i'm thinking about buying 2 sticks of 512 Samsung PC 2700 ram and a Sapphire 9600 pro. Will this work? b/c i dont play PC games and i dont want to buy a new system.

I tried installing with nvdia mx 400 and 256 ram but it wouldn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Try the EA WC servers, they are never laggy for me and I get awesome ping.

people on the BF 2 forums are taking about getting "free" unlocks.... basically saying that they have already unlocked there lance corp. weapon but for some reason they have 2 or more unlocks when they should only have 1...

this happen to anyone here?

[RSX-S]
07-04-2005, 10:24 AM
I'm a Lance Corporal and I have no unlocks. :(

Actually, I don't know how you unlock it. I understand you get to pick the unlock of your choice? I tried going to the BFHQ page and I went crazy clicking everything on the screen.

Novaesck
07-04-2005, 10:41 AM
I JUST read what you said about the extra unlocks, so being a Lance Corp. I went and logged in and ALL my weapons are unlocked! WTF?

All of them are unlocked in ranked and unranked servers. This is nuts, I hope EA doesn't ban me because they think I'm cheating or something.

When I got lance Corporal I logged out then logged back in and this screen came up with all the weapons and you have to choose one.

I want my money back EA, the game's multiplayer browser doesn't work, and when I try to play single player it constantly kicks me out of the game while loading the maps. Fxxk.

Try using ASE with that little patch I posted, but the crashing problem is a bigger problem...

If you haven't already, I'd read the guide on www.tweakguides.com to see if that helps. This game needs a lot of patching.

I find BF2 better because of the commander system. It promotes teamplay more. The graphics seem to look better too. They paid attention to more details in this game than in the previous BF's (not that it's simulator accurate, but it's more accurate than the previous BF's). The down side is that it needs more patching (still) and a couple of minor things need to be tweaked.

Certain things in PoE feels overpowered at times. It might be accurate, but it feels like everyone is on his / her own venture in their super jet or tank. It's still a lot of fun though. The vehicles are a lot of fun and the attention to detail is good.

BFV was good. Music fits in well and the Huey's are fun to fly. I like the overall environment in that game. I actually like this game better than PoE.

BFV and BF2 are both good games. I feel that BF2 has taken to a new level though. That's my take on it. :)


Can't wait to try BG42 mod and perhaps a StarWars mod (heck if this comes out, it might beat Battlefront 2)?

Yeah most of the time in POE I was in a vehicle. I agree about the Huey's, those were great.

I need to get used to the cammo rose system in BF2 though. Is anyone playing tonight and where? The Hardcoreware server was not patched yet last night.

A Question:

Why does the Chinese J-10 fighter always stalls in mid air if climb vertically?

I was going after enemy F-35 and once they couldn't shake me they climb straight up and when I follow my J-10 basically freezes in mid air and then I die for hanging outside the battle field for more than 10 sec.

Is this a bug or is this intentional so that the US fighters will maintain a superiority?

Ease up with the attitude there buddy.

You paid $30 for a CD key that some guy in australia sent you when you could have paid an extra $20 to get a legit copy with a cd key that you know can't be passed around.

when that .. side show bob highjacks the wright brothers plane

"approching boogy" and like.. it zooms past them

fuck.. how do u guys take down helicopters and other slow ass mofos when youre in jets?

my viewing distance isnt far enough to utilize missles. i have about like 3 seconds to lockon and fire when i see them.. and at 3 seconds they are about 10 feet away from me and the missles always miss. i always have to do like 10 runs and gun them down with my machine gun.

but fighting other jets.fuckin awsome.. i love my joystick

i dont get how the co pilot of a jet .. the bomb things work

they laser it.. and.. they also fire it? or does the pilot fire?

well im not too worried because hes sold over 700 of them and 99.9% +ve feedback. and it would be an extra almost $40 not $20. sry bout the tude but i asked a simple question and got a retarded answer.

Yea, it's hard to hit helicopters... What I usually do is put the brakes on full then try to get a lock while firing the guns. Then quickly jump on the afterburners once I shoot pass it.

The co-pilot fires the LGB. Just aim it like the TV guided missles. Just right click, put your crosshair on the "target circle", then it will say "lock", then just click away and watch them blow up.

Watch out though, there's a bug. If you miss the target by a long shot, it will heat seek to a friendly.

Haha!

I was playing the Gulf of Omen map and I was perched up on top of one of the buildings. The guy was in a jeep firing his gun and I sniped that guy right in the head and with no gun support our Special forces guy just ran in, c4'ed the thing and blew the driver up.

since you're not aware of it must not be possible :rolleyes:

how the hell else do you think they can get massive amounts of cd keys. if it was pirating dont you think ea would catch on that thousands of unauthorized people are playing online. not to mention the guys ebay store would be shut down!! its not like ebay tolerates piraters selling there warez.

I used to get CTD but after I patched it with 1.02 it hasn't happened. Does anyone here still play on the Hardcoreware server?

Also, does anyone else find it much harder to fly the helo's in bf2 than in bfv? They feel like flying boats. I can't get them to rotate quick enough. Never had this problem in bfv, the huey's were way easy to fly, even the mi8's are better than the helos in bf2. Any tips on flying the helos?

[RSX-S]
07-25-2005, 04:46 PM
Yea the Heuy is easier to fly. Yaw is much slower in BF2. What I do instead is use the other controls to help turn the chopper around like an airplane.

What you do is, yaw as usual, then simulatenously roll and pull up to help rotate.

I think that's the BF2 Shader mod. I don't think it's completed yet, but you really need a decent video card to enjoy this game. That card was good, lasted me a good while.

I would get the 6600GT for starters. Both my friends' 6600GT seems to work fine with this game, but don't expect all full blown graphics with 4x AA/AF.

[RSX-S]
07-28-2005, 10:27 PM
Okay, so the .50 Cal is not 1 shot 1 kill.
Anti-tank gets a barrel shot gun.
Medic's L85 is all right... but the recoil is kinda big.
Engineer gets an automatic shotgun.

How's the G36? I've used it a few times and it feels good. Though, the M4 isn't that bad. It's got a scope, too.

And the G3? No grenade launcher though.

07-29-2005, 04:12 PM
i dont think shots fall. gravity only affects like.. the tanks cannon.. those type of weapons
cuz i can clearly see the tracers on the jet's machinegun and the helicopters mini gun go straight.. for a long long.. for as far as i can see.

but shots DO take time to reach the target. so its not like CS where as long as the crosshair is on the guy it'll hit. u have to aim ahead of he's moving

this is probably a really stupid question, but i think i unlocked some guns when i got promoted a week ago (since i was using the new guns during that game), but when i play now, I don't have any of the unlockable guns.

But now i'm reading that you only get to choose one gun to unlock and last week, i had all the guns, so i'm doubting that i unlocked the guns.

Where can i go check if I really unlocked a gun? Currently I have no unlockable guns

DAMNIT. i hoped your server was ranked :(

oh well

yeah i have my basic "class" badges.. all classes

basic first aid, basic transport, basic supply, basic command, basic knife, basic pistol, 3 gold stars, silver star, 2 bronze stars..
i have.. my airborne ribbon, command ribbon, some.. combat ribbon, some other combat ribbon.. oh yeah basic helicopter, and basic armor.. some other ones i think

so hard trying to get the basic demolitions. i always die before anything gets blown up.

and the 1:4 kill:death ratio for the purple heart doesnt work. i got 1:4 and 5:20.. both times i didnt get a purple heart.

i unlocked the medic weapon, bad choice, i did it because i play medic a lot.. but the new weapon isnt that great, the scope is nice.. that's about it... i should unlocked the assault class.. since i never use the grenade launcher and always miss by a mile anyways, i figure a more accurate stronger rifle would be a good choice... oh well next rank.

you know im starting to think the chinese and MEC are better than americans, their standard guns are stronger, and always have fully auto capabilities.. none of this 3 round burst crap.

the americans have the JSF, miniguns on the helicopters, and bigass strong tanks, that's about it.

brown guys have better shotguns, full autoshit, and speak funny stuff.

chinese have fully auto, semi auto sniper rifle..etc.

i guess americans have better vehicles generally.. oh yeah teh chiense and MEC have fully auto, but the accuracy usualy sucks.

but then accuracy doesnt matter when the guy is liek 10 feet away. if he's farther just go single shot. the AK is so much better than an M16.



anyways.. what weapons have you guys unlocked, and how have they performed?

anyone unlocked supply class? (machinegun)... anygood?

i hesitate unlocking the G36 cuz.. well, going from red dot sight to iron sights suck. i hate iron sights.

ASE = All-Seeing Eye. It's supported by Yahoo. It's basically a very good desktop server browser with a lot of filters and custom favorites list.

It includes a buddy list for you to track your buddies when they're playing. All you have to do is double click on the server that you want and it'll automatically launch the game and join that server. It'll even keep trying if the server is full. If you see a buddy online, just click on their name and the server that they're in will pop up and you just double click.

Best thing about it, you can keep trying it for 7 days. ;)

ok so ive played around with the G3 and the leenfield (medic rifle)..

i've got to say they're both upgrades.

first the medic rifle has a scope, and it is very accurate if you put it on single shot. basically a sniper rifle, but it takes a few shots to kill the guy. it's got full auto so if youre american, now you can go full auto. it's the same strength as the m16. but.. SCOPE.. AUTO..

the G3. ok no grenade launcher, boohoo. whatever. it's stronger and more accurate. you can basically snipe with it, except it has no scope, good luck with the iron sights. yeah it's strong and accurate. BUT.. the mags only hold 20 rounds. and u only hold like 4 mags. you always run out of bullets at the most inconvienient time. but otherwise, it's good

i plan to unlock the machine gun next.

You just change the names of the video files in the game's folder. You can't delete them though, or otherwise Punkbuster will bust your punk ass. :p

I find this a lot faster, especially if you use ASE. You can get rid of that EA intro and crap like that too.

Actually, it's supposed to be a multi-game server browser.

For example, if you have Doom3 and BF2.

You can choose to filter BF2 only, and let's say, you want only the ranked servers that have FF on, with PB, and not empty. All that can be done in ASE. The same can be done to other games, such as BF1942, AOE, CS, HL2, Jedi Knight, Unreal, etc... The list goes on. Other filters include, game version, VOIP, ping, geographic location, server specs, global unlocks, map size, maps, time limit, autoblance... and more. Btw, this can be done MUCH quicker than the built-in one in BF2.

You can choose servers that you can store in your favorites folder(s). The servers list will show information such as IP, pack lost %, ping, name, flux, map, game type, and location.

The friends' list is another feature of ASE. You can track where each other is. All you do, is click on the server that your friend is on (which will show up on your friends' list), and it'll launch automatically and join that particular server.

The best thing is, it's free to try (for 7 days, and 7 days more, and 7 days...).

Do you have a router? If you do, make sure you forward the ports.

And I think they're having issues with their servers, but I haven't been affected.

hi all

finally upgrade my video card to run this and my goodness this game is great! love the squad based system, and it's even better with built in mic support.
anyways, who still plays actively? somebody should setup like a msn/icq contact list or something. i see some have the ase program so i'm going to give that a try.

I had this same problem it would take like 1-2min just to login WAY TOOO LONG, should take max 5seconds. The problem got fixed after I updated to the newest patch, so you should give that a try

mashtuur city or something

i love that map man.

i also love the other city map where the americans start in a tall building with a cobra helicopter ontop...

i also like the.. other MEC map.. come to think of it. i like ALL MEC maps.. i hate all china maps. just doesnt feel... right.. i guess my style of play works better in the brown town.

but yeah i love the mashtuur city map and the highrise building MEC map. those two are my favourite.

agreed, plus those three seem to me the maps which encourage the most squad play since they have relatively less vehicles, so guys seem to stay together. do you guys play at 24/7 small map servers? I know there's a couple and thats usually where I go

[RSX-S]
08-17-2005, 01:01 PM
Yea, infantry maps are cool. It's really nice to see players work in squads.

I don't usually play on 24/7 servers though, I get tired of them after a while. I usually go on servers with 2-3 rounds so I won't waste time changing/loading maps.

Ch28
08-17-2005, 01:15 PM
Yeah its all about the urban maps. One thing I hate about the China maps is how wide open it is and most of the time everybody is split up into small groups and its just no fun

If you haven't picked out the unlocked weapon of your choice, you do it in BFHQ. Their server lags, so expect some delays.

If you've picked it already -- what Michelin_Man said.

I think it's like a subscribed version of the game where they arrange battles and squads that you stick with throughout the whole campaigne. A scheduled number of hours for every week, etc. with some sort of chain of command.

Basically you're paying for a real organized set of games and calling it a campaigne, I think.

armoured has the most. its like 200 kills more than deaths.
helicopter is like. 100 kills more?
sniper is like 70/30 something like that.
