[von*ferret]

[curman]

mine is tiled

no one cares about you though

i have all my settings and gfx maxxed too, that tiled runway looks bad tho, i like the dirt one

[JynxDaddy]

Why not AA ol? Beast computer not so beast afterall??

[OL]

tends to slow down with the big artillery explosions n stuff, i wish i could put the res at 1280x1024 but game sucks

(also have anisotropic on in driver settings)

The BF2 serverbrowser is the worst ever, period.

It is HORRIBLE, so frickin slow!

Also about controls:

Not that there aren't enough keys to configure (in fact I'm wondering why Dice hasn't implemented 2 keys for walking forward, one for the left and one for the right leg :roll: ), but I also can't seem to assign keys which are in the default configuration! For instance the wasd keys (yes I am an arrow button player), del and others.

Another annoying thing is, that when you type a message and hit a key which is assigned to a different action (for example I type an "y" and my squad menu pops up -> message is gone).

This really doesn't leave me many options, I'm afraid I'll have to get used to the default controls

The control thing is so annoying, but Ive actually gotten used to using wasd now D:~

Cursed!

Anyway, so much bf2 h8 strat, have you even tried playing it online? I simply cant understand how anybody cant love this game~

I don't think he hates it but he has a point. I was looking forward to a more destructible environment too. Don't get me wrong, I'm still lovin' it.

BTW. If you haven't been in a good squad you haven't played the game. It's fantastic.

Sure, I was looking forward to mowing down trees with tanks in Battlefield Vietnam, but it wouldn't really have done that much for the gameplay in the long run. Although it would be nice then I hardly consider it anything to complain about considering how amazingly solid the game is. I'd rather have well implermented destructables (like the bridges and key locations), instead of a shitload of mediocrely done destructable buildings.

But yes, blowing stuff up is nice

[FrieChamp]

I'm feeling ya Stratty, nevertheless BF2 seems to be good fun as it is.

[Backslider]

Anyone else think that the air vehicles need some sort of locking throttle. I mean what gives, you need to keep tapping W if you want to go slow. You should press W and bring the throttle up to what ever speed you want, and use S to back it down if you need to.

No I haven't because some annoying bug prevents me from playing it online~

I do like it, there are a lot of good improvements like better close combat as a soldier. I just expected to be able to affect more than the current 2 structures in the entire map. Now if they would actually focus on such issues rather than solely focus on graphics, I'm sure they would find ways to increase interactivity with little impact on lag.

As for the game slowing down, I don't feel any even though I have max settings except for medium-rare realtime shadows and lighting, and 2x AA.

[OL]

2 structures? are you playing the 16 player version or what

[Duff-e]

not sure if you heard yet but 1280x1024 is possible by changing the exe parameters

"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2 Demo\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024

great tweaks/console commands

BF2 is the bee's knees fo shizzle. First game in 6 months to tear me away from WoW (thank god) All the new squad and commander stuff is awesome, being part of squad SABOTAGE, and spawning ontop of your leader hidden in the enemy base and tosing C4 left and right is quite a rush. All the fun of 1942 and DC, with just a little bit extra zest. Nothing revolutionary, but why fix something thats not broken.
