A battlefield2 thread

I play on the 50Klicks Multiplay.co.uk server too.

My BF2 name is "FosterKevin", sometimes with the [OcUK] prefix, if I remember to put it on.

Anyone else who plays on the 50K server should post their names, maybe we can get a good squad going, but we need to know who to look for

And when I say a good squad, I mean one that actually works together in a pack, not one of these where people just go wandering off

I play on any of the EA UK 64 man servers, name is as you see it 'Spacky'

Is there anyway to get this game to run at 1900x1200, I cannot see an option in game and the ive tried putting "+szx1900 +szy1200" in the command line and the game wont start.

I'm Lando_uk, I play on 50k quite a bit. (but getting a little bored with BF2 now)

I play as Skooteh on whatever server has a good ping

Actually does anyone know where i can change my name? My 4yo son has added askewz to the beginning of my name & i can't find where i change it back! *lol*

I had a funny thing happen to me the other day too. I was on Dragon Valley 64 man (my fav map) as US. I flew a helicopter towards the chinese base thats the spawn on the 32 man version & parachuted out onto the hill looking down on to the base to pic off a few peeps. Anyway i had parachuted out of the copter quite a way away & up from the hill so got into position and started picking off with my snipe. After about 20 seconds i could hear a helicopter noise, so looked around & saw my copter still spinning around after i had left it, but it was a fair bit away so i ignored it and carried on. After another 10 seconds i could hear it getting louder, so i did another take & couldn't believe my eyes as it banks towards me and explodes practically on my head.

I sat there creased right up. Killed by my own copter nearly a minute after i'd bailed out, what are the chances of that? *lol*

I occasionally get this. You'll be playing and hear a plane go above you and drop some bombs. All of a sudden you get a couple of kills awarded to you and they come as [F15] kills or whatever, even though you are on the ground.. I have alos got this with AT mines.. Very odd

The code is a bit wonky isnt it and AT mines are explosive now. You can set a trail of AT mines and set it off with a grenade like gunpowder on a cartoon

My best yet was shooting a friendly BH with my pistol to alert the pilot I wanted to get in (he was just taking off). He was a crap pilot and crashed just after, I get 4 teamkills and a server ban because my pistol shot destroyed the BH according to the game

Iam switching to Desert Con when its out, they are reverting the chopper physics and just a general change should be good

I finally got to play online today after hammering the single player previously. I have to say i'm seriously underwhelmed!

The amount of lag is a nightmare at time. Perhaps i've yet to find a suitable server. Having only a 1mb connection probably doesn't help me either. I've even set everything to medium and lowered my resolution to 1024x768.

After hearing that this game was amazing online, my first experience has been a serious anti-climax!

neoboy · 5 Nov 2005 at 13:03

Make sure you play on European servers because you will get killer ones on US and other non-European servers.

Even with a 512 connection I didn't experience any lagg make sure use put "multiplay" in the search facility to bring up all the european ranked servers. I usually get pings of 20 on most servers

Cheers for your advice Neoboy and Hawklord. I'll give it another go this afternoon sometime.

Hmmm...is there a trick to using the mike in BF2?
I'm so used to TS2 I've never really used the in game comms, but I'd like to now.
What I find is that within BF2 my mike doesnt function.
I have Speedlink Medusa's and the mike works fine in every other app but BF2 - if I go into Audio options, I try mike test and nothing - nada.
I'm using onboard sound on an MSI K8N platinum, which is a SBLive 5.1 chip.
I have set the option to "software" rather than "hardware" or "xifi", and EAX is not selected. Quality is set to "medium". If I try to use the "hardware" setting I get "choppy" sound.
Mike is enabled in the creative manager in the system tray, and I leave that enabled when playing the game. Mike works fine outside of BF2, and in TS2.
Any thoughts?

FosterK · 5 Nov 2005 at 15:05

Go to:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2VoiceSetup.exe

Run it.

Speak into your microphone, see if the noise bar moves. If it does, move the min and max volume bars so it will only broadcast sound inbetween those two bars (stops breathing noises etc. If it doesn't let me know.

Then hit "Save settings".

Assuming it works, go into BF2, then to options, then to audio, then test your microphone with the option given.

To use your mike in BF2, you have to be in a squad and hold B to talk.
