Battlefield 2 demo impressions

You can create a server and set a password, it will let you play with everything without being bothered.
 
already cheatz0rs in the demo multi heh.

Anyways, cool game. rather sparse but cool game non the less. wtf,my video card is chugging along at 20 fps .? :rolleyes:


ain't this a bitch....
 
Just go to multiplayer, creat local, and set the map to 32+ players. You can fly around all you want. Won't let you try agaisnt AI units, but let's you learn flight controls.
 
for some reason, i can't have this key setup:

foward = right mouse click
backward = ' (apostrophe)


whenever i change 1 of them, it cancels the other out
 
That isn't a harrier jet, it's the F-35 JSF. The marine version has VTOL capabilities (vertical take off/landing).
 
So anyone else messing around with 32 bots with no time limit on the big map playing coop? (connect to sp game by ip) Pretty insane fun. Heres some links, sorry if this has been posted didnt' read the whole thread.

Tested and works!

Remove Time Limit

Enable as many bots as you can run

Enable Large size map in SP

Unlock all weapons

Oh yeah rename "Battlefield 2 Demo\mods\bf2\Movies

and get rid of those damn intro movies :)

Almost forget when you are editing your bots in you might want to put less than 1.0 skill, at that level if they get a shot off your usually dead.

Haven't tested.

Dual Screen Goodness
 
So far im fairly impressed with the game after playing about an hour of single player. My favorite class at the moment is the medic but I always seem to run out of ammo.

Anyone know how to change rate of fire on the M16? I like single rate fire it just seems more accurate to me. I know I have done it befor but I was just randomly pressing keys on my keyboard and I forgot which one it was.

Other then that I found the game fun but Im still holding on to joint ops.
 
played the demo for like 5 hours yesterday. running @ 1680x1050 looks AWESOME. Anyways I am in love with this game dont know why so many people hate it. Yes it is a pain that EA didnt support multiple resolutions in the demo but so what you can easily get around that. I love to get the helicopter and land it on the e's water tower and then snipe them at their spawn hehehe. fun times

I've noticed this too! very annoying. there is a workaround though, put one of the two in secondary controls and it should work.

How do I gain access to aircrafts?

To practice with? Start a "multiplayer -> create local" game with a 32 player map but put a password on it and you'll have all the aircraft to yourself! :)
 
Plays smooth on my system P4 3.7Ghz and 5950 Ultra.
Some of the key binds I cant change. Its says already used but I dont see it listed. What is using the END and DELETE keys?

No right? Im not talking about a freekin' GF2 here. Im talking about a Ti thats not that old. A Ti that can run EVERY other game thats came out in the last year at 1024 with FSAA 2x and Filtering at 2x with no problems.

Its one thing to have the card run the game slow. Its another to say FU to other cards cause of a stupid hardware call that could just as easly be changed (FarCry).

Hehe, right now ATI people scoff at NVidia's "PS 3.0" because there's no performance difference. 3 years from now, all those x800 users won't be able to play the newest games because they won't meet the minimum "PS 3.0" requirements.
 
I actually really like it,

My only concern is that there is no need for the shotgun because the penalty for runspeed on the SAW is so low you may as well use that. I got 14 kills in about 30 seconds using that :),

It was like Benny Hill with them all running through this gap in a wall into massive firepower.

Aside from that, the lack of Graphics options and the poor performance of the server browser (not much then :/ ) its all good
 
I just ran b2 on high 1600x1200 . It runs very smooth. Um but why do you walk so slow and you can't run?

You should be able to double-tap the "w" key or whatever key you have for forward and that moves you into "sprint" mode.
 
Its great so far, has its quarks but thats ok, cuase its fun. Can't wait for the full version! :D
 
I wish the people who worked on Desert Combat Final had been brought into Trauma, because they have a much better idea of how helicopters truly feel.

It's amusing to think about, considering that only a handful of people consistantly worked on DCF while BF2 was developed by an entire studio (Including the original DC team before they were absorbed by EA).

yup i figured it out now.... works perfect..
 
Can anyone help me out? I keep getting kicked by Punkbuster for having an "Empty Win32 Module List". I googled it up, and used pbweb to update the files but I still get kicked occasionally. What should I do?
 
I get the same error. So do lots of other people. Some say if you lower your settings it fixes it. Dunno for sure.
 
I find the demo awesome, I can't wait untill the full version is out!
 
Yeah, I love being a Special Ops guy and planting C4 on vehicles. I usually go over to the MEC base by boat and plant C4 on their vehicles. Then I hide behind the wall and blow everything up once someone comes near. Sneaking up on tanks and APCs then blowing them to bits with C4 is fun too.
 
I've been having fun comming for the MEC. Calling airstrike's on the carrier while people are huddled around the aircraft is fun fun fun.

The hit registration is total crap though. I spent 2 clips of sniper ammo, while prone, on a guy who was sitting still. Seriously. Lag my ass. I've been on top of the crane getting more kills as a spec ops than as a sniper because of that crap.
 
It's a good game, but this in my opinion could have been a Mod or an expansion pack. The graphics have not been updated at all from Vietnam, well it appears it hasn't

I expected more, but alas
 
so far, after working through some hardware issues (might also be an indicator of bad drive...it's still kicking for now), I can't stop playing it. I've really not done a whole lot of ground pounding. I'm not too sure about the jet's....I still think, even with DC, that the maps are just too small for jets, but that's just my opinion. I like the heli's so far, though the controls, at least mine, are a bit goofy. I thought DC had it right (dc final). Maybe they'll tweak it a bit. I've spent MUCH more time as commander on pubs and I LOVE it. If you find a good one, be NICE, please. If it's Evil.Bonsai, please be REALLY nice!
I've been lucky in that if needed, I can get some backup protecting the arty. I always try to get uav's in position to help out the guys going for flags or just struggling to keep one.
So far, my favorite moment was launching some arty at my OWN arty pieces as there were about 5 guys coming to blow 'em up. Sadly, I forgot my body was still laying next to one as I'd just repaired 'em. They came up, and shot me, but not before I fired the shot. They blew the arty then got WASTED as the arty landed....revenge was SO sweet!
 
I don't know why you aircraft guys are complaining about their slowness. There's nothing on the ground that can hit them anyway. Well I have hit one with an assult grenade, but that didn't take it out. Or if they are almost on the ground, I've taken one out with the regular fire from an armored car. The only thing they really have to fear is other aircraft.
 
if you havent played teh 16 player version of themap do o NOW. it's a totally different experience, no air vehicles, but i could care less about them.
 
aircraft are so nice...but I can't seem to drive the following... Jet, can't even take off with the helicopter without blowing up lol...

Battlefield got the idea right and created a multiplayer game that wasn't mindlessly killing the other teams for points... I take it you're a "QuakerealTournament of Duty" player?

haha, never heard that one before. But no, i'm not. I like the premise that the BF series is based on. I just think they were executed rather poorly. I realize that everyone has their own opinion, and I'm sure this is pretty much flame bait, but I don't care. *shrug*

...yeah. All 2 of them. It sounds like you hated this game before you played it. Or have you played it? :rolleyes:

Um, maybe you missed the fact that the demo is out. So, since I'm not one to give impressions on something I havent played... yes, I have played.
 
You're right, I totally missed that. The dozen or so posts I've made in threads regarding the BF2 demo, half of which indicate I've played it myself, were just a fluke. That crazy database does some weird shit sometimes.

I just find it hard to believe that you can speak authoritatively on the BF series. Let's assume you bought the first one and thought it sucked...why would you then even bother with BF:V or this one then?
