Battlefield 2

Is there space on all four servers though?

And is server 1 like 4pro's and server 2 less so etc?

Have the latest nvidia drivers,so im good.

Thanks guys

Nah - not really...although some nights you can be unlucky and have a server full of pro's.

Yip - server space is getting scarce. Both the 48-man servers [.20 & .31] are full by 5PM=5:30PM and the 32-man server gets filled at about 6:00-7:00PM so you'll have to just keep refreshing the server list until there is one place avalible.

There's 2 MWeb gamezone servers as well, a 32 and 16, but playing there's like dating an ugly chic - you friends won't be seen with you but at least you're getting some action. . .

Hehe ! I wanted to get #1000 but now that I think about #1001 is better [as you've pointed out]

I think this is the 2nd longest thread in MyADSL history [obviously ThreadKiller is 1st] and the longest in the "Gaming" Section

Well done chaps

BF2 Rulez !!
Long Live BF2.
We will takeover the world - well - unless they bugger it up with the expansion packs.

 

[doobiwan]

I'll go where the party is. If everyone's changing to Special Forces, I'll switch otherwise I'm still pretty addicted to vanilla BF2. I play Spec ops most of the time anyway . . .

Wonder how many times Stoke has had to repeat his BF2 nick on this thread.

On that point if Stoke is BF2 McJunk then whois MyADSL mcjunk and does mcjunk really know that he is posting here while killing there

On another point when will the commanders start dropping wacky wednesday specials. When is 1.03 coming out?

 

[justinct]

Well i played my 1st bit of bf2

Its quite confusing and i crashed like 2 choppers and 2planes like 5m from where the launch pad is before i gave up trying to fly the things

So i just ran around a bit and tried shooting ppl.
I got a few kills,but my mouse sens was 2high so i will fix it next time i play.

Is it just me/my 1st time n00bness,but is the sniper rifle quite unnacurate?
i have set my graphics on 1024 @ 75 hz and all detail on high with a 6800,is this correct? or should i set it to medium?
having said that i was rather dissapointed with the gfx, on a details level,but as far as overall its pretty decent. the jets flying around chasing each other is pretty cool, lol and the dude who parachutes out his jet, i thought that was funny, as i was sniping him while he was defenseless in the air.

Will def play more 2mo nite and try get more kills.
As to flying those planes without a joystick, is it possible and if so,how??

Thanks
Cheers

Yeah, it sucks - perhaps not as bad as me as a player, but it sucks. I have found that the helicopters are not too keen on the unlocked sniper rifle. I think 2 snipers will take out a helicopter - and bonus, all the crew too.

No buzzer to let the point rapers know that you've locked on either.

I hope that one of the classes - perhaps the engineer - will one day have the ability to create gun positions so that an anti-air missile launcher can be put in a place that is useful.

I agree with this - I have also thought that it would be cool if an Engineer could assemble a stinger site. The problem currently is that the jet jockeys know where the stinger sites are and by the time you lock onto the jet (as they seem to approach at the speed of sound) they have already unloaded a couple of tons of explosives and all you can do is read the serial number of the bomb before it sends you off to spawnland. If the stingers could be moved around, that would put a nice spin on things...

Justinct,

The normal sniper rifle usually needs more than one shot to kill, so you may be hitting the target nonetheless.

Most players recommend using a joystick to fly choppers or planes, but it can be done with kboard and mouse...plenty of practice.

Don't worry to mucha bout the gfx detail, most of my time spent playing is trying to survive..don't get to notice the surrounds.

The best way to enjoy BF2 is to join a squad. Most guys are very considerate and even if your are new they'll offer advice and guidance. Make sure you have a set of headphones with a mic...it's great to be able to talk to real people playing.

Check out this useful guide http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_1.html about optimising your BF2 setup. I have an ATI card so cannot help you there.

Enjoy..it is a blast!

Justinct :

1. If you want to fly practice offline. IE. create a 64 player server on your PC and fly till you master it. Its a tad risky to attempt to fly for the first time in a live game since you could TK a few buddies by mistake.

2. I would reccommend you check under your options tab in BF2 your LAN speed settings. It should display Cable or DSL and NOT LAN or T1. We aint in the US of A for such luxuries.

3. Like Fivelza said, join a squad. Press CAPSLOCK browse the squad contents and attempt to join one. They will show up as green dots on your map and if you die you can respawn on the GREEN dot, he is your squad leader!

More tips to follow but the rest of the crew should help you out too!

any one know where i can check my stats and what i need to do to get badges ribons and stuffs

 

[Obelix]

get the stats retriever at http://bf2sr.com/index.php

 

[thisgeek]

There's lots of sites out there that explain the various badges & ribbons.

Go to bf2tracker.com - search for your player name, and check the stats. Under awards, there is a list of all the awards, and what you have to have to get them.

That freaking auto ban after TK is REALLY annoying, especially with the servers being full.

I accidentally TK'd some guys yesterday when they were standing in front of my tank while I was manuevering around during a combat session with some other armor.

Fckuing noobs.

So I get banned, then couldn't play the rest of the night cuz the server was full. Grrr.

 

[h0ll0w]

Stoke why wont you just stand still and let me knife you ? I think it was sunday night. I sneaked up behind you a few times and tried to knife you, but every time I missed like the first 3 stabs, and by then you've turned around and blown my face off

argh! If you know what I went through to sneak up to you ever so slowly in the middle of a battle, you stand still and knife yourself

damn i'm useless

I'm still a nooob and i have run around corners in front of tanks and got TK I have run into fire fights and been TK I have even curious enough to have a good look at a mine up close that a team mate dropped "dooh" but every time i vote to forgive TK cause i know it was my clever that got me killed in the first place you know what i mean

But i feel your pain Geek

 

[stoke]

I ended up in a fight between me (APC) and a Tank.
The tank was running back and fourth in what turned out to be a spawn point for his team members.
Before i'd blown him up (And I would have won), he just dissapeared [Tank was empty and he was nowhere]. LOL.

/me wonders what's wrong with BF2's spawn point calculator - is sucks spawning in front of an enemy APC, and it happens quite often [2 me].

Aaaah - vc|Hollow [If me merembers correktlee] - lol - Somethings wierd there, I heard you trying to stab me - ting on the wall, ting on the pole, ting on the rock, turn - oh look - there's hollow - blam blam blam blam - lol.

Seriously, I never stand still - I hate being sniped - it's just such a sucky way to die.

 

[thisgeek]

It's really irritating when you spawn and instantly die, cuz the damn thing has spawned you right in the middle of a freaking arty attack. Gah!

 

[TheSaint]

thanks for the stats site but are there any other ones maybe a local one
