Battlefield 2, Best Game Ever

Oh I didn't realize that you can still capture the flag you just don't get points for it.

It should be one way or the other.

I've seen that my team flag starts to rise whenever a helicopter I ride descends, so vehicles can still capture flags. But passengers get no score unless they disembark.

I agree

I also think it wouldm be reasonable if a "gunner" were engagaing an enemy at a flag or saving the life of a commtrade at a flag for them to get some reward but certainly not for a free rider

The "free riders" are normally gunners too, covering an angle where no enemies happens to be at the moment.

I noticed they changed the sound effects for the APC guns and the artillery landing.

I liked the old version better.

But I think this was in response to safety issues. The older sounds had some really high pitched noises in them. Honestly, I have had eardrum aching after playing a couple of hours and listening to the deafening sound of artillery coming in.

The high pitched noises seem especially to hit your ear really hard.

But they sound alot better.

My wife would kill me if I had the volume set to loud. Or if I used headphones

[Sava]

you are not allowed to use headphones?

tell us, where is the jar that your wife keeps your balls?

[Snotty]

Ive been playing the demo solidly since seeing the full version in action, and my comp can just about handle it in 32 player mp, although I have to drop to 16 players to run it smoothly

Do the full version maps require more from your computer?

If I used headphones, I would not hear when she or the kids tried to contact me. And a headset with microphone would just be ridicolous, with me yelling so it could be heard all over the house:

- Go left, go left, follow me, enemy tank north of bridge, aaarghh he got me!

Some of them probably require less, some about the same.


The demo has lots of vehicles, and it's usually the vehicles that cause all the processor crunching, espcially if you have an aerial vehicle and a tank on the screen at the same time.


For me I can only play 64 player maps now because there just doesn't seem to be enough action going on with less players, I feel like I have to walk too much to find people to shoot at.

bah...

the voice communication in BF2 sucks anyways...

they should have looked at how Counter-Strike works...

[Ted Striker]

I like the voice communication but am getting tired at some of these tools getting on it

I totally PWN the Karkland map because I've played it so many times so know EXACTLY what to do at all times

But these tools join my squad (after I'm the only one to get us a good spawn point behind enemy lines) and then start barking orders.

That's why I usually play with the mic off, because everyone starts trying to be the leader and you need 1 guy making all the decisions so I usually just ignore them and do my thing. They can follow me if they want else get the hell off of my squad.

It's funny because they act like they are the first person to ever use a particular strategy even though most of us have gone over 1000 times already.

Like this one guy kept saying, "squad leader where are you going? GET A FLAG!!!!"

Dumbass didn't realize we were getting chased by an APC for like 60 seconds straight and had to evade it. I'm not gonna stop at a flag and get blown up.

Or this other guy that got waxed by an APC, then starts complaining that I won't revive him. He was totally covered so the moment I revived him, we'd both get shot up and I'd lose the spawn point completly.

Man, stupid tools.

Wish I could turn off the voices on the fly.

Next time I'm telling them to shut the f up. I almost did it last time but sometimes using the voice chat makes the game flow less smoothly.

I just tried to play, but Punkbuster kept banning me from all the servers. I played perhaps 20 minutes in 2 hours of trying. What's wrong here? I have the latest update patch and I am 100 % sure I did not ]-[@xx0rz anything.
