is it anygood (or is that a stupid question on a battefield forum) ive never played I OR II is II worth buying? Also what platform is it on/best on?:)

Vegeta

its an online game for the PC and you need a damn good PC and a decent broadband connection, its worth it though if you have both of those things

Dont buy the Xbox version, I have heard it is brutal. If you have a decent PC buy it. If not the bext PC you can pick up copies of BF1942 for 5-10 on boards(I sold mine for a fiver) and have a go of that to give you an idea. I am certain that once you have a go on BF9142 or BFV then you will soon be upgrading and buying BF2

BB is necessary for all games

you can against bots but terrible. I have never played single player in any of them. Just went online and played there. Even learned to fly on empty servers while waiting for people to connect. Single player sucks

ah well there goes dat idea...

single player is pretty weak all right and not worth the 25 euro, kinda like the xbox 360 ****e if you don't have broadband!!

I thought the single player on the xbox wasent bad. Still not a patch on the PC online version.

spooky donkey

But not every one thinks that way.


SOrry for the doube post the edit button is not working for me.

I was under the impression that the xbox had a special single player mission style version aswell as usual multiplayer. Could be wrong?

spooky donkey

Well I only played it the onece played the first 3 missions and thought it wasent bad for an Xbox game.

Sorry for being a dumbass n00b...

Am about to commit to a game (big deal for me as i tend to loose myself in it:) )

Anyways don't find games like Quake etc fun .. but BF2 looks like sommat I would like...

Now I've got my 3Mb Broadband and my Fast PC...

Do you need a subscription to play BF2 online ?????

And what other online games should I look out for ? currently playing all the Valve stuff but want something a bit less 'deathmatch' oriented.

No subscription is required, just create an account find a server and your good to go.
Dont forget to patch up aswell, current is 1.12(I think)

Bummer man, damn good game

is this similar to Command and Conquer generals, strategy based or is it a FPS?

It is similiar to....well BF....not many games out there like this. Ever play CS? DoD? CoD? any online shooter games? well it is similiar to them except you can jump into a car/van/jeep/plane/heli/tank and drive fly them around. With BF2 you have a commander who if played right has a number of squad. You have a map and on this map there is points called flags.

(If commander)You are supposed to direct your Spuads around to map to capture all the flags and hold them. Once you have done this you have won the round. The maps are a mixture of city maps, sea attacking shore, country landscape maps.

When playing in a squad you have 7 different classes to play with. Each of these have a normal weapon and then an unlock. You get unlocks the better you go in ranking system(See my ranking below)

Think that is a basic overview of the game. There is alot more than that to it but that gives you a quick idea.

Have a lash on there but if he has no internet then not sure how you will transfer. Remember these are only 16 player maps with mods. Can you start lan games with demo?

Omnipresence

HELP got this finally... but there seems to be a bug ??!?

I cant 'crouch' ???

the key was unset after i installed and I have set it to primary H and secondary ; but pressing those keys does nothing ??

wtf...

Surely im missing something obvious here ??

Omnipresence

Just saw this on another forum... oh **** ... hardware issues !?!?

22-Nov Zboard Battlefield 2 Cannot crouch in BF2
This update will fix an issue which is causing the "Crouch" key in Battlefield 2 to function incorrectly.
The update works by installing a different version of the kernel mode driver.

Steps for successfully updating your Zboard driver:
Download patch file here:
http://www.ideazon.com/dev/QA/K2K_BF2_Patch.zip

Ensure you have the latest Zboard drivers installed and your USB Zboard is connected to your PC.
Unzip "K2K_BF2_Patch.zip"
Open Control Panel --> System --> Hardware --> Device Manager
Locate "Keyboards" in the Device Manager
Right click on "Ideazon USB Keyboard Device"
Select "Update Driver..."
Select "Install from a list or specific location... (Advanced)"
Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install."
Click on "Have Disk..."
Locate the folder where you unzipped "K2K_BF2_Patch.zip"
Locate and select the file "OmniUsb.inf", press "OK"
Click "Next", the driver will be installed.
Reboot your computer for the changes to take affect.


Now i don't have zboard but I do have the bug.... its on a standard Dell8400 !?!

Omnipresence

on looking further it seems i can crouch but i cannot lie down... proving to be horrible as im standing out like a sore thumb...

HELP

Omnipresence

Well after much searching I found the solution.... adding here for anyone who does a search of boards later...

You have to reset all key mappings to defaults if this happens.. then it works... apparently this can happen a lot after a patch has been made after any custom key mappings have been set up

Tis a great game and the use of stats in it is great and detailed like no other game Ive ever played. Also if ya leave a server and rejion of get disconnected for some reason when ya rejion it retains youre score. Ive never seen a game that does that before.

Here is my stats V Nellys, intresting reading as we have similar scores but very different playing styles.

Eh? Are you saying you play lonewolf only? There's no advantage to that, and only rules out several ribbons and medals.

This turning into a stats thread?

I played the demo but quickly got bored of it. I hate the every-man-for-himself type gameplay. The squad thing is there but nobody listens. I also got put off by all the kids and their "lolz n00b lolz" crap. Same thing that turned me off xbox live.

Has anything changed?

If you are on a cr*p server then no. Althou I havent been on in a while the GFF server used to be the best for teamplay. Alot of people said the same about the TIG server but when I was a regular BF2 player I had UTV so couldnt connect to it. Prob better teamplay now with the city maps only!

As Nelly said, you were on a server where no one wanted to work togeteher and there are still loads of them around. I find it hard to play now if I can't get a game on a server where I know people work in squads and use VoIP.

Omnipresence

Would love to play on a co-operative team like this with VoIP etc... anyone here got pointers to servers like this..

Logged onto the 365 hosted BF2 servers last night to see,...

I was the only person logged in !!! :-(

Jion a clan then. As a Clan who mainly play BFV when we play BF2 we all go on our own TS server form a squad and work together. We dont all make the same team but we often have 3 of us on one team and 3 on the other and we still have great laugh playing to gether. Any clan that plays battlefeild is like this so my advide is jion a clan or go onto some clan`s TS server and get the lads xfire accounts. Get as many fires as ya can and follow clan lads into servers as they always work together in squads even if ya have no VOIP jion a squad and follow orders. My xfire is spookydon btw is ya every wana play with us. Or ya can jion our TS server, im not sure of the IP of the top of my head but its on the front page of www.1st-ib.net in any division.

Omnipresence

Sweet cheers... will try tonight and see whos around... Just over the dying a lot stage and starting to at least be contributive to a squad... oh good at flying now too :rolleyes:

Madong

I just got a copy of it too ! total nOOb but I might jump on your TS too later!

DO you play just Bf2 or SF too?

Seen for £19.99 in game today in Lisburn.
