it's a tricky one this - i tend not to lay claymores as a defensive measure unless i don't feel comfortable with the terrain behind me, then i'll lay a couple quite a distance behind me as a defensive arc. As much as you need to keep still as a sniper to discourage detection, i've found it best to occasionally do an observational sweep to either side at regular intervals. if you're well concealed enough, you can have an enemy sniper or soldier very close to you without them knowing you're there.

artilley and uav's are not my friend - when the 1.2 patch comes out with visible uav's i can see me wasting a lot of ammo trying to blast the buggers to bits.

i was on 50k a while ago and it was sniper galore on wake island. I jumped over some rocks onto what i thought was a bush. It was infact a sniper. After I neally jumped out of my seat when the 'bush' spun around, he stabbed me :(
 
how many things do i have to blow up for the basic explosives badge? artillery etc.. thats the next one i'm going for :D

do i just get 1 unlock at 2500 points or 2?

anyone got a link to a page that tells me all these things, looked around on bf2s.com but cant find what i'm looking for...

as for mashturd, if you ever find yourslef sniping on top of a building dont when badgers flying the chopper you'll die by guns, grenades, c4 or that claymore you oh so foolishly placed behind yourself.

13 people for basic, 23? for veteran and 37? for expert. im trying for expert now.
maybe this weekend someone wants to come and help me get it, by being support and covering my back? (i'll do the same for you).

sniping from tops of buildings is a definite no-no in my book anyway - especially on mashtuur. there's loads of juicy sniper spots on that map which provide ample opportunities - some of which are blackhawk-proof ;)
 
Was just on the 50k 50 player server for 5 minutes...don't think I'll be back there in a while.

I can play absolutely fine no low player (<32) servers with 64 player maps, but as soon as it goes any higher I get choppy fps and end up being killed before I even know there's anyone close, or lose 1v1 fights even if I shoot first :(

It's probably the Ath XP 3000+ not being able to handle the large amount of players, but screw it if I'm going to upgrade for one game, everything else works fine :mad:

Is there a lower player 50k server, or preferably a SF server?
 
Running 2GB of RAM.

It's not studdery (no pauses or anything like I had with 1GB), it just seems to go in semi-slow motion.

Lower player servers are fine, 40fps+, it just nose dives to 10-20fps on 40+ player :(
 
Soundsl ike you have you settings too high. Mine plays fine, but if I knock it upto 1280 then it really stutters when lots of action. Check the bf2 tweak guide

I have a 2800+ with 6600gt. I run most things on low and also disable voip as that makes mine lag terribly

Try out the 50Klicks 32 man server - 85.236.101.81:16967

City maps most of the time, but we occasionally stick SF on at the weekends. 32 player maps are less demanding, so it should run better for ya.

yea i found bf2 ran so much better on the 32 rather than the 50. also the 50's currently having some connection probs.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try knocking the settings down a bit as they're probably a bit high atm.

While I'm here, a friend of mine is having some problems with his audio on BF2, when he loads up a game, usually on Karkand he says he has an issue where seemingly every sound from the map is played on his speakers, e.g. if their's an artillery strike the other side of the map he can hear it as if it's next to him etc.

Any ideas?

Soundcard is his onboard Soundstorm.
 
Anyone else getting Database errors when they try to connect to the account server or is it just me?

edit: Temporary glitch, restarted the game and it connected first time :)
