Battlefield 2 goes gold

[bsu legato]

Lets try to get a MW game going sometime!

Sure thing, if somebody figures out how to create a server.

[twich]

My clan and I Festival of Frags got the demo from Filerush.com, and until such time as they come out with a linux version of the demo, we play at the Filerush.com Just type that into the server info and it comes right up.

I have to say that the squads and the commander really make things interesting and fun....the game is much more challenging and fun with these new features over Desert Combat.....and this is only 1 map with a restriction of 32 players.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I can't get it to work, it installs fine, but when I double click to start it the screen goes black like it's starting the program and then kicks back to the desktop, any ideas? Is this a bad download?

[F360°]

it looks like a videocard driver problem,, try updating your videocard drivers

Now that would be a great idea.

I got the the demo working and this is a great game. I have to learn how to fly the jets better. I crash before I get shot down. I love driving the tank. I just might have to order the full version now.

[Coota0]

I'm frusterated, I've tried downloading new drivers from Nvidia, I've tried using the ones with the game, I've tried using my old ones. Everytime the screen goes black like the game is starting, then it reverts to thr desktop. Other games (like call of duty) work, I just don't get it.

Never Mind figured out the problem

My problem was pretty scary. I installed the 77.30 driver, rebooted and XP won't load (blue screen of death).

I went into safe mode, used Driver Cleaner to clean out all the old video driver, then install the 77.3 driver again.

Now it works...

sure, I'll be up for it. I really need to learn how to pilot the jet and chopper too...

and I 'll need top learn how to use the comander functions.

But at least I kick ass in a Tank,,It's fun taking out Blackhawks and Cobras with a T90

Also,, how do I change positions,, like when i'm in a jeep but I don't want to drive but fire the machine gun instead.

[Mechafan]

The 77.30 Driver worked fine for me. I played some more tonight and I really need to learn how to fly the planes and helicopters. I see that sniping is not easy in this game. Overall this is a very fun game.

[Commander McBride]

How are the controls and physics as compared to DC? As in, I kicked ass in DC, will that carry over to BF2?

[ComicKaze]

I'm still not happy with how they just axed Trauma Studios, the guys who developed DC, after they bought them.

It's like they bought the competition, took their models, and the intellectual property rights, then kicked them off the ship.

[SpacePirateNeko]

Sooooooooo who wants to get started on the macross mod?

[bsu legato]

If I had an ounce of coding/modeling/skinning talent, I'd be right there. But since I don't, all I can do is volunteer my services to playtest anything that gets done.

Problem with BF2 DEMO!!!! Help!!!

It was working fine until yesterday.

Now today, when I go to join any server, the little black box that says loading comes out, and then nothing happens and I stay and the server selection screen.

Whats going on?

Ladic, I've read that its some sort of BF2-versus-firewall issue. THere's supposed to be a patch in the works for it, but most of the time I can get it to run by quitting and restarting BF2.

[Ladic]

oh, but how come I didn't have that problem in the past 2 days? I turned off the windows firewall and still get same problem

[F360°]

perhaps you just updated windows??? I don't know but I just updated windows with some new patch yesterday and I can't play BF2 online until i restart. I didn't want to restart yet because I was downloading a bunch of stuff.

Edited June 18, 2005 by F360°

[Ladic]

Yes, I updated windows today with some patch, and now that you mention it, since then i cant play.

But strange thing is I've restarted the game and the PC on several ocassions and still cant play.

[Mechafan]

I was wondering did anybody get good at flying yet? I am ok with the helicopters now but still have to work on the planes.

[bsu legato]

I'm feeling pretty confident behind the "stick" in a chopper too, but I'll admit that I'm hopeless in a jet. I need to beg, borrow or steal a joystick so I can practice my flying skillz.

[twich]

I really like the demo, but I cant, for the life of me get the damn Voice IP thing to work, it works until I die, then....Poof! Its gone! I hope that the full version isnt quite so glitchy....but otherwise it look sand plays quite nicely on my machine

Specs:

Amd Athlon 64 3000+

1 GB Kingston DDR400 Dual Channel Ram

BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC 256MB GDDR3 Video Card

thats funny ...im horrible in choppers , i can barely make it off the flightdeck without crashing into the water ..and godforbid i start to turn at all then it becomes hopeless and im doomed

but when it comes to jets im an ace...full rolls ....scraping the heads of people....dogfighting..i love it

maybe thats why i want a macross mod soooooo bad =)

[Ladic]

My demo still not working, and from what I hear it's a pretty common problem, what a piece of garbage, I was going to buy the game, but now I dont know

[F360°]

I find the Jet so much easier,, the Chopper is hard as hell, any quick left of right turn with a bit of pitching and that will be the end of my piloting. E 9 or KIA.

[bsu legato]

Gamespy has an overview of the BF2 maps HERE and HERE.. Since we can't seem to get our own MW game going off of the demo, does anybody want to hook up via XFire?

[Goshawk]

Well since the games out now, are we gonna get up a MW server along with Team speak???

I would not mind doing that.

I picked up the Zboard with the Battlefield 2 key so it is on.

I wanna get one of those. Let me know if its any good.

[bsu legato]

So who bought the full game, and is there still interest in a MW match? I'm not online every night, but I do manage to get a few hours in every week.

[twich]

I did, my clan runs a server....209.123.8.61, although it is non-ranked. Festival of Frags Clan Website

For me it is a great keyboard. A lot of sites recommend it. You have programmable keys up top on the base. The key sets switch easily. It has preset layouts for popular games. You can update the key sets from the keyboard directly. It has a two port USB hub built in.
