Is BF2 worth getting now?

I love BF2. Not played it for a long time. I was absolutely rubbish at it though. Always getting killed. So many good players out there, bouncing around!!! Did my head in.

What i used to do is slip some charges in the engines of my own Aircraft on the Aircraft carrier that was about to take off and then explode them as he left the ship!! So funny that!

I didn't really know what I was supposed to be doing. I knew the team objective was to capture each point, but I didn't know the map and stuff. :(

press the alt key to toggle between showing flags on screen which will give u the idea of which direction to go in to capture the nearest flag. Also the minimap can be easier to understand if u have it so it doesnt rotate with player in options and can be zoomed in and out using preset keys, other than that join a squad and spawn on the leader when possible (green dot) so ur usually heading towards the same objective.

.....and your the kind of person that gets banned off 99% of the servers lol

Play PR mod and thats instant ban on any server and server admin share ban lists lol
 
Doesnt matter what it looks like ...its still the best team based fps available
and tbh i dont think the graphics are at all bad and it doesnt require an uber system to run properly
 
Well, bought the £3.75 package, restored my character, and forgot how AWESOME this game is.

Don't really play PC games. But picked it up when I finished work at 5pm, and didn't put it down till 1am.

Only took an hour, but continually got into the top 5 players on every 64 player game. My sniping skills are back to amazing!!!

Mmm still debating weather to get this or not. Can't help but feel it looks so dated :(

You'd be an idiot to pass this game over due to slightly dated graphics. Gameplay is second to none - literally, think this is the best Multiplayer FPS available
 
I have been trying to play this more, but finding the time is hard. The 50klicks server is good always people playing.
Can someone please help me change my name in the game i cant seem to be able to do it :confused:
 
also go to nvidia or ati control panel at desktop and whack the AA and AF to 16x and it really can look beautiful ;)

+ the fluid running and interaction with the floor in this game is a lot better than many newer games. Check out some of the Snoken videos for a laugh too.

For me it makes Every single game since it was released limited & annoying except Forza 3 but then that is a Completly different story. Most here know I've played since day of release & still play to this day, I've promoted the game as much as poss in a hope that the game would last, Fortunetly it has but that has nowt to do with me. The real reason BF2 stands the test of time is simply because it is the best online FPS. All other games are worth a shot whilst there is that new game buzz & community build up but sooner or later you'll come back to BF2.
For me no matter what game I play about 20 minutes into it I think to myself **** this I could be playing BF2 so I leave the game & go play BF2 for like 3 or 5 hours Solid buzzing my **** off & laughing till my jaw aches with a bunch of randoms.
The only thing that stops me playing is Forza 3 but then will I be playing that in 4 plus years ? I hope so because knowing a game like I know BF2 is the Best gaming experience I've ever had & I am from Space Invaders & Asteroids era.

Snoken and his clan are video geniuses. Some hilarious vids they've made... I recommend them as well. Theres also the pwn3d life. Search em both on YT.

Theres not one game out today that I feel has the same perfect balance of gameplay, community and all-out Combat.

As for those wondering what they'll be playing in Years to come. BF3! :p
 
I find trying to find good servers to play on the most annoying aspect of this game.

atm I'm liking infantry only servers with no commanders allowed with few pro players (I'm pretty crap tbh), perfect for sniping but the only one I can find with a good ping is noobs-r-us and that server isn't always online.

Is there a better way to search for servers?

EDIT: also 95% of servers just play strike at karkand map 24/7 :(

Yea, I must admit I do remember playing this and I loved it. I used to be a glass which had like a remote sticky grenade and used to love throwing it on vehicles as they drove past and boom!

Shame everywhere has it at full whack :( Also I keep reading there are not many good servers out there any more which is also another reason that I keep getting put off :(
