Battlefield 2

[Raptor]

Who of you is going to play Battlefield 2?

I do not have a lot of experience with recently released games, so I would require the opinion of someone more trained in that area... I am wondering wheter I should or should not buy Battlefield 2. I do not think that my system configuration is up for it. It may fail on me.

Here are my specifications:

AMD XP +2800 (2.097Hertz)
1024MB DDR RAM (Dual Channel @ 333MHz)
Gigabyte 7N400Pro mainboard (Nvidia chipset)
ATI/Radeon 9800Pro 128MB

Other less relevant specifications would be:

512DX Trust soundcard
80GB 7200RPM 8MB cache Maxtor
400 Watt Chieftec Dual Fan PSU.
52X CD-ROM Reader.
-- I am forced to give in and install a DVD-ROM reader soon..

What do you think my chances are of running this game smoothly? Battlefield: Vietnam did not run all too well, but then again, that entire game was pap. Battlefield 1942 ran very decent, though. Bit laggy, but I have a 6MB connection as opposed to a 128KBs connection when I used to play online.l

If you are going to play BF2, on what kind of system will you be running it and what do you expect of it?

Raptor, the game looks like it will be a smash hit! From what I see on the reviews, many people are excited, and many are VERY stisfied wiht the graphics and sound quality! As for your requirements, it looks to me like they check-out... I think you'll be ok... If you are still concerned, go to the Electronic Arts website, and go to support... Submit a ticket, and let the technicians tell you...

The technicians will most likely tell me that I meet the minimum requirements.

Are you planning on playing Battlefield 2, Flame?

[Flame]

Well, once the Dell monkeys send me my Desktop (July 11-13) , I'll be able to, so probably, yes.

It will most likely run very well on the system you have ordered.

I hope there will not be too many foggy areas in Battlefield 1942... Somehow, my computer has never been able to adequatly handle these conditions and it slows down. I suspect the AMD processor. Which is generally pap.

Im playing too, i already preordered the game
I have
3.06 ghz cpu
640MB of RAM
geforce fx 5200
BTW the demo is out if you want to see if it will work

castle wolfenstein......is nice.....

[Raptor]

I should give the demo a shot. How does the game run for you, Colonel_Sanders?

[TN2COOL]

I advise you guys to buy a new graphics card.. Geforce 6600 or Geforce 6800 will run it on all max.. Flame's new computer has a geforce 6800 AGP and that would run it on really high resolutions.  Raptor, you might be ok there playing the game on medium to low, it won't be as satisfying, but the battlefield modding teams are planning lots of great mods!! My personal favorite will be a WW2 mod.

I should give the demo a shot. How does the game run for you, Colonel_Sanders?

I play it on lowest settings but it still looks ok and at least i dont get any lag
here is screen shot i took with the unlockable .50 sniper
I can post more if you want

[TN2COOL]

Is that online or are you playing with bots? And if with bots, how many bots can you handle before it starts lagging? One more, when you get in a vehicle does it start lagging?
Usually jets lag alot..

[colonel_sanders]

I have absolutely no lag at all, and your not suppose to have that weapon or any of the other unlockables but on one of the online servers i was playing they had them, so yes that is online multiplayer, the number of bots you can play with is 15+you, but thats all for the demo, but in the real game you can get more
here are some more screens

In this one i killed someone with the shock paddles that the medic gets

In this one i snuck up behind a sniper and knifed him

In this one i shot a portable guided anti tank missle at a T-90 tank

If you want any specific screens of weapons in action or just more screens just ask

[Raptor]

What are your FPS at these settings? And what do you mean by unlockable?

My demo is at 93%, so I will be able to install it soon.

[colonel_sanders]

I have no idea what the fps is, but the game runs perfect, the screen shots were taken at the lowest possible settings, and what i mean by unlockable is in the full version you can gain ranks and through gaining rank you get weapons not availible to the other players that havent goten to that rank, i will post pictures of all the unlockables

[colonel_sanders]

Here are the unlockable weapon screens
1. list of them

2.Dao 12 semi auto shotgun

3.Dont know what its called but its the british equivalent to the m16

4.some future chinese shotgun, similar to dao 12 but holds less shells and these shells are much biger and stronger

5.Russian PKM

6.G3

7.and the last one is the G36c


These are all of the unlockable weapons for the game
