LOL I accidentally TK'd my commander. I had my sights up on a enemy down the street and right as I pull the trigger the commander runs in front of me and I shot him right in the head.

Luckily I was a medic so I revived him and apologized. Still laughed though. :p

Is this multiplayer only or is there a single player campaign? If so, is it any good?

There is a single player mode and its not bad but not nearly as fun as multiplayer. I wouldn't buy the game for single player alone. There is a demo that has single player on it if you want to give it a go.

okay guys, those of you out there with a low power system i feel bad for you because this game is awesome. i want to make a note to those using nvidia cards. i feel sorry for you guys also.

What's wrong with an Nvidia card? I have a 6600GT PCI-E card, works great on all the top games. You saying BF2 laughs at Nvidia cards or something :lol:

Teamkilling on purpose is not the problem it was in 1942, due to the ranked servers. Everyone is trying to get promoted to lance corporal to unlock that first gun, so it's just not happening on any of the servers.

Accidental teamkilling is a completely different story. I've blew up an enemy tank and got punished by the c4 laying special ops guy before. The only thing I can do is say I'm sorry. But it rarely helps.

I have heard of others seeking punishment revenge by putting themselves in harm's way of the punisher's fire.

The single player portion of the game is a so-called "practice for multiplayer," and there is no official support for co-op. Plus you can only "practice" on 16 player maps so you really need to play multiplayer to practice on the 32 and 64 player maps.

Yeah, getting punished for accidental TK's sucks. I saw a guy camping at an enemy flag and I was in a tank so I blew him away. Now, if it'd been me I'd have stupidly respawned back at the same spot so I could try to get revenge. So, thinking that he might do this, I jumped out of the tank, laid a few mines right behind it in case he respawned and tried to steal my tank. Then went to take the flag.

Then some other dude from my team comes in to cap the flag too. So we get it and I go around to pick up the mines behind the tank, he jumps in and steals my tank, backs up even though I'm right behind it, hits a mine and kills us both. I get punished for it. :(

I made Lance Corporal last night and unlocked the PKM. Hell of a support gun!

I took down 4 hovering choppers last night with that gun. 1 full clip = dead airmen. The range is as bad as the other 3 support guns, but it rips people to shreds in half the time.

I have no luck with them so far infact i have trouble with just the regular missles and hitting anything,so far im more of a kamikazee pilot :p

Yeah, it's pretty hard, but I've had some success. I was probably just lucky, but I like the fact that you have some control over the rocket after it leaves the helo.

innocentfreak 07-06-05 11:18 PM

My problem with those is the pilot is always flying too low so not much time to guide the missile

Ack! I already downloaded and patched. What kind of performance hit should I be getting because it seems to run fine at least in single player. I haven't tried multiplayer since the patch though. I'd rather not uninstall then reinstall BF2. :(

Same here, I didn't see any problems in MP before the changed the servers. They are recommending reinstalling the game, but not the patch.

okay i can fly now, but i still can't hardly hit anything with the guns. this game is so much fun it is a coin toss between it and halo 2 if that tells you anything.

BeanDip and I both have the same ISP (mediacom) I really don't know if we could host a 32 man game or not the upload speeds leave much to be desired.

everyone that's posting in this thread should check out the post BeanDip made regarding xfire, if everyone on here posts there gamertags we can just overrun someone elses server........that would be cool. :thumbsup:

Cardiac161 07-13-05 12:09 PM

I realize a lot of people are having problems once the patch was downloaded, but mine actually got better. Considering EA's last announcement to un-install BF2 with the patch and re-install it to its original retail version, does that mean my choices for multiplayer servers would be limited since I assume most would follow through with what EA officially announced?

You can easily rack up 80-100 points a round with a good squad. A full blackhawk can cap a flag in a couple seconds. Strike at Karkland is also a fun map if you are good at close quarters fighting. I racked up about 90 points a round for several consecutive rounds earlier this week.

Some people have already made Sergeant on the leaderboards.

Just got it today, myself. Figured it would be a nice way to break in my new computer once I got a graphics card installed (tomorrow). I just picked up a cheapie headset from Altec. I'm assuming it's good enough, though you can go up to $100 ones if you wanted.
