A battlefield2 thread

Hey, just got the game and it is great. Runs smooth on med settings although havent tried it on high.

One thing, I cant seem to get any points. I am playing on the ranked servers - ones with the chevrons but afterwards no points get added to my name.

What do you have to do to get points? I am only playing a few rounds - how many rounds to a full match? That may be the problem

( I'm a 3 week vet. ( Sergeant when i get 1 more point ) :D )

Malc will probably help you.

"What do you have to do to get points?" - Kill people / help squad / capture flags etc.

Make sure you tick ranked servers only

And BF2 takes a bit of time to update so i wouldn't worry

Be warned, its the best game i've played and very addictive.

I go to sleep with " Medic " and " Artillary in you area " ringing in my ears !!!

Because its the weekend. Theres a lot more usually playing at the weekend rather than weekdays. So when the stat servers get swamped with constant data reports it slows down a lot. I played a few rounds of Sharqi last night, I thought I actually lost the points because the server did crash at one point but they added on in stages. Sometimes it can take up to a day or more. Your badges/ribbons/medals are on a seperate server from your points, same for the ranks I think?
 
Enemy troop identifying ?

Is there anyway ( obviously no cheats or hacks ) in the game settings to speed up the " red " troop indentity name ?

I usually play as Support and hold a bit back from the assault troops and when i spot a distant troop i have to rest my gun sight over him for a good second before the "name" of the target appears ( i.e Red / Enemy or Blue / Team ).

During this wait i usually get shot :eek: :mad: .

Online graphics setting have defaulted to high on everthing with no AA.
(Connection settings are Cable/256kps or better and auto ready not ticked )

Spec : Graph card = Gainward 7800gs+512mb(24pipe) and 2Gb Ram

Any help or advice , or am i just slow :D ?

Thanks

soz but theres no way to speed the identification up, the more you play the easier it becomes at spotting enemies via their clothes
 
On map loading, my pc loads the map fine but the variying client data takes like 2 mins, which is too long, my friends does it in like 2 secs. I heard you may need to open up ports to help, but which ones and how? I have a Linksys router whcih I can get to the setting part via the Ip thingy

sorry for being a bit vague.

thanks
 
Nah its the same for everyone. The actual map loads in 2 secs for me but the verify is roughly the same it always was and my machine is much faster now.
Its checking you havent altered anything on the disk or memory so maybe a raptor would show a difference

Ports information is found in the help files or possilby google it. BF2 does have a surprising number of ports to open what with using gamespy's server browser engine. Its best to open them just so u know ** not getting random disconnects through your own fault.
 
PRMM 0.5

This is one of the best mods i have come across, it gives BF2 a hole new feel. If you really like BF2 you will fall in love with PR. I have been playing it for two months and I dont think i will be getting board of it any time soon.
Heres just a small part of the PR world...

The heli is faster but about the same power wise. There are loads of other vechs from bikes to falk lift's! Its good as the mod is trying to take the arcade feel from BF2. The maps our good to and you have to take flags in a set order which make for a some good games.

Constantly & since day one, i was even up till 2am the last two nights playing it, i'm on a promotion drive at the mo and getting closer makes me rage. Make sure you give the infantry only servers a good go because in my opinion you cannot beat a 32v32 all out infantry battle. My online gaming heaven.

Fast, furious, lots of points and no being raped by armour, its a nice level playing-field :)
 
its more fun with vehicles in most maps, esp when you squad up.

karkand tho is good for infantry only.
 
Anybody who likes BF2 should download the Project Reality 0.5 mod. I've been playing it for a year and haven't touched vanilla BF2 since. It's the most popular BF2 mod around with over 1,000 players on at one time at the moment.

Cool new weapons, new vehicles, new assets, new factions (British Army), a ton of amazing new maps (much better than the boring old vBF2 ones) and most importantly a whole new gameplay experience so it's not the round robin conquest nonsense you get in vanilla.

It's much more teamwork orientated than vBF2 and you'll get nowhere being a lone wolf so if teamwork/tactics are your thing then this is the BF mod for you. :cool:
