how to get into bf2

Hi,
since i purchased my new set up i been looking forward to playing bf2.
When i 1st got it i just played it single player as i thought there would be single player missions etc. but its jus a friendly offline battle nothing else.
So i realised i had to play online. I been using gamespy to pick my servers and tryin to play it. I find it very hard to play, i been playing it like i normally play css on public jus running around tryin to find my opponent and killing them but i always end up getting shot at by snipers or bombed by planes etc.

How does the ranking system work? some other players have different uniform to me, how do i get them?
are there any 'easy' servers out there?

not particularly new to FPS but new to bf2 style games. i pld cs 1.6 and css.

Thanks for any advice.

thanks for the tips guys.
When u save play as a team, how would i go about doing that? when i respawn im usually by myself, do i follow some1 or goto where there are loads of ppl my side?

loving it

Hi guys,
since reading all the advice ive been playing bf2 quite abit, mainly on the 50k server. I am loving it! i could see my score improving with every round, i moved from like bottom of table to top 10 now, i was 5th earlier today

playing in a squad is definately much better than lone wolf, really starting to enjoy the game now, promoted to private the other day too

how do i unlock new guns?

i like being a medic, if i unlock a spec ops gun i wont be able to use it as a medic will i?

i just got promoted again last night to lance corporal or something and it gave me a choice to unlock a gun but i wasnt sure which gun to unlock so i pressed unlock later, after i couldnt any option to unlock :S how do i go about doing this?

thanks.

cool, ill load it up after posting this post and unlock that gun.
The annoying thing about playing bf2 online is that you join a server and everyone seems to be doing lone wolf, you get members of your squad all over the map.
Is clanning a lot better? i wouldnt mind joining a clan i just not into the bf2 community and dont know which ones are good/bad, recruiting etc.

You need to play with me and Siders77, we play on lone wolf type maps together most of the time, and 2 people shooting bullets into one person means we do ok, although I usually get the kill, and he dies

You should add me to msn and have a game sometime, im very new but I love playing co-op with people, its what makes this game actually fun

sounds fun! heres my msn add [email protected]
