Battlefield 2, Best Game Ever

[Colonâ„¢]

Yeah, that's obvious. What I want to know is if anyone has already experienced which features don't contribute a lot to the eyecandy while still using a lot of processor power.

[DrSpike]

Well its kinda moot if you turn them all down to minimum for best performance.

But for what it's worth your first port of call is anti-aliasing stuff and dynamic lighting stuff.

awesome...

after you install, I'll tell you how to get the "Friends Network" working... it's in Beta right now...

with Friends network, you can add people by their Steam account to a "buddies list" and it lets you know when they are logged on, etc... you can chat with them in game, see what game they are playing, what server they are on, etc...

on your desktop, your Steam shortcut, right click on it... click properties... where it says Target, copy the following and paste it outside the quotes after the "C:\Program Files\...\Steam.exe"

-clientbeta steam3friends -beta steam3friends

this will enable the Friends network so you can chat with people...

if you want, I can PM you my steam account information so you can add me... I'd like to play with you some time on a Day of Defeat Source server if you want to. One of my buddies and I play this game a lot, if you want to find a server with us and DOMINATE, you are welcome to join us some time.

We'll get on the same team and work together to defeat our enemies!

TO VICTORY

I have played a total of maybe two hours since yesterday

what I see so far is ya still got weinies on same team trying to attack ya

but I love the anti Rambo realism, you know, a belt fed machine gun taking out s sniper at a 1000 yards on the run

I used the MG42???? for the German at a walk not in the tripod and when I pulled the trigger it was all over the place, as it should be

same when using the MP40(IIRC) and the Thompson with the americans

I love it so far maybe we can hook up sometime Sava

look forward

Thanks but it doesn't seem to working.

I ended up setting everything at low levels anyway, even used a resolution of 640x480 but I still get lags during combat situations. Surely a P4 3,2GHz with 1 gig of RAM should be able to handle a lot?

Is this COD or COD2?

But yes you would think it should be able to handle it

[Colonâ„¢]

COD.

Just finished the tank missions BTW: extremely entertaining.

[Grandpa Troll]

Yes

The Russian mission at the end was awesome

I kept thinking of Enemy at the Gates

I love pwning people with the k98... I'm deadly with it. My favorite gun in the game.

Welcome to HL mods on public servers.

there's a great new mod for BF2 out... it's called Hard Justice.

This mod adds some new weapons to some vehicles, makes all the maps for singleplayer into the 64 player versions, gives a co-op mode for local and internet play, and even gives some new weapons for some classes.

Check out the crossbow!

It's like playing Rambo!!!

This mod is being played on certain servers online, but the focus is mainly for co-op play and singleplayer.

A great addition has been the air to surface missiles to most jets.

It makes attacking ground targets much more fun.

Patch 1.3 is coming out soon, and it will include Co-op play... but until then, this mod is the best choice for co-op... as well as playing the singleplayer maps with more than 16 bots.

You can find the mod at the Battlefield Singleplayer website

http://battlefieldsingleplayer.planetbattlefield.gamespy.com/

Or here, at the WCCSquad homepage... the group that made the mod.

Here is the link to their forums...

http://www.wccsquad.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=index

The developers will respond to any concerns you have... something I always like about certain mods.

This mod requires you have the 1.22 patch of BF2... read their forums if you are having issues with crashing to desktop. I had problems at first, but once I followed the instructions, it works perfectly.

After the BF2 1.3 patch comes out, they will be releasing a new version of their mod which contains more vehicles and such... including the A10 Thunderbolt.

Now, excuse me, I'm going to go kill people with the crossbow.

[Ted Striker]

What exactly is CO-OP anyway?

[Sava]

When human players get on a team to play against bots.

Usually, ten to fifteen people versus 2x as many bots. Sometimes more.

And, it looks like I am going to be on the WCC mod development team... doing some texture work.

I talked to one of the leaders of the WCC Squad... the team that makes this mod. It looks like I'm in. w00t!



But that doesn't mean I am not objective about this mod.

IT'S AWESOME

EVERYONE DOWNLOAD AND PLAY IT

Do they know they are employing a griefer?

[Sava]

"griefer" ?

it's not employment... just stuff to do in my free time...

They are a community, like Poly. I'll create various content and contribute to the mod... also, be part of the squad and play on their server. It will be good to finally play with people who are interested in teamplay and such.

I don't think they actually compete in events like a regular clan does. I'm more interested in the modding stuff, learning from people, and then eventually seeing my work being part of future releases.
