A battlefield2 thread

How are people finding this using windows 7?

It seems a bit hit and miss for me.

Can play for hours at a time, then every few games I'll get kicked. Strange.
 
If u have a widescreen monitor, check what resolution the monitor reports in the OSD (on screen display NOT software) while in BF2 with and without runnning widescreen fixer. I run 1480 x 1050 without and 1680 x 1050 with it. Without this and a widescreen monitor you will lose some of the picture.

Got Home - proper shortcut now Im on my gaming pooter:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050
Click to expand...

Where abouts in the short cut to you put this ?

I try setting my screen @ 1280 x 1024 in the game settings. but i then get no signal on my screen after i apply it ? i can only run it at @ 1024 x 768.
My screen supports 1900 x. that's with my i7 and 275 setup. it's the same on my old 7800GTX :p. i get this on all my games at 1280 x 1024 res, strange.
Anyway. so i want to run this game at 1680x 1050 :)

Cheers..

P.s. errr do u have to have to have the 150 patch to get this to work in that higher res ? can it be done on the 1.41 patch ?

When i click apply, is says,

The name C:\Games\bf2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050' secified in the target box is not valid. make sure the path and file name are correct.

Doe's it have to be the 150 patch to work ?
Cheers.

P.s, i took away the " from BF2.exe" and it applyed ok. but didn't see any 1600 x in the graphics settings in the game.. so this is only for the 150 patch i take it ? cheers..

The new res doesn't appear in the options it just forces the game to run at the res you've added to the short cut! If you check your monitor menu you'll see it's at the stated res.

Scroll up to my last post, 6 posts up from the post I am quoting and you will find the answer to your question.

In that post I assume that you know where to find the OSD (onscreen display), its found by poking the buttons on your monitor and you should be able to retrieve this information from the menu, but you must be ingame to check what its running at.

What have they actually changed in 1.5? I've been playing BF2 again recently after not touching it for over a year, and it has been fun but there are still some major balance issues in my opinion, I'd love to see certain kits addressed.
 
I get crap after not playing for a week, takes like a good 2 or 3 matches to get the feel for the game again. This is especially true for sniper class, because it heavily relies on reflexes and a feel for the game mechanics to get good headshots.

I have had the game for 2+ year now and just started to play on line for about a month give or take(a little late i know), i am split on the game.

It took me sometime to get used to the doggy shooting physics in the game and this rolly thing ppl constantly do and get head shot from far far away is a little unrealistic(or maybe they are hackers??). A guy is standing in front of me, maybe about 2-5 meters, i point my gun in his direction and empty a round without aiming through the sight(shooting from the hip )and nothing nothing nothing...do this in real life i am very sure you will get a different result.

fire an antitank round in front of someone around a corner (i can clearly see him there, because the tip of his gun is visible) and nothing happens.


grenades don't have a realistic killing distance, you get tired too quick after running and many more annoying things.

its a very inconsistent game, some servers you run for eeeever and some its like you are a snail.

I usually play either medic if i am mec team or assault with G3 if I am USA/Chinese team. Have now become quite accurate both with aim and shooting form the hip.

There are toooooooooo many cheaters on the servers from what i have noticed, i pop my head up and gone with 1 shot from a guy a mile away with a mec medic AK.

I have clearly jumped over the guy and he is shooting in a different direction and i still die well so it looks like this.

the claymore sometimes have a killing zone of a mile sometimes and other times you walk right into them and and nothing goes off :) :(

its well...........inconsisten to say the least.

oh i can just imagine 111 players on each team. It woudl be a joke to be honest, specially on smaller maps like jalalabad or shall i say grenadabad. TOOooOoOoOooOOoO much grenades.

The spawning rules is just silly, you spawn everywhere, wait sometimes you cant spawn because of the red dot specialy in manshuur/grenadabad....it becomes a very frustrating very quickly.

still need to master this roll thing, drop my pings (move from ISP) and get a better mouse (currently on bog standard mouse/keyboard) but a great fun to play if you can live with the above.
