Alright, folks, BattleField 2 will rule you. - Page 6

I've noticed that using a joystick to fly the jet helps me, but I can fly a helicopter much better with a mouse. Go figure

I still have no idea how some players manage to stay alive the entire round in a jet. Sure the AA missles blow, but I don't think I could ever fly around for an hour without screwing up.

**mervaka** · 08-17-2005, 05:12 PM

heli flying with a mouse is a piece of piss. its near enough impossible with a jet though, i cant pull back fast enough, and i keep having to pick the mouse up and drop it back up the top when im turning or doing a loop. much easier for the people that play flight sims too im guessing

o_salty milkshake · 08-17-2005, 05:26 PM

I wouldn't even try and fly the jet with the mouse, but you can obviously adjust the sensitivity for different vehicles. I use the cursor keys when I fly the jet, badly... I normally just fly the things to the other end of the map behind the enemy runway, bail out (over unoccupied tank if possible :P) and then create havoc.

**mervaka** · 08-17-2005, 10:46 PM

hahahaha, just borrowed my bro's account who has the M95 sniper rifle. camped out the enemy helipad, and sniped out the pilot and gunner from a safe distance each time they tried taking off.

makes up for a lot of stress built up around heli gunships

I played it!!! Twice! Once for the first and second for the xp.

Pigeons tried to get me into it again, but failed miserably.

Back on topic. I really liek yelling "CLEAR!" before I paddle some unsuspecting enemy camper. It usually scares the shit out of them.

The demo was interesting and if I wasn't strapped for cash I would make a purchase. However, the server browser was terrible. It could not possibly be worse. That and the pings were mostly awful with a few exceptions...You would think I could just use a server browser to find a good server.

o_frenchtoast · 08-18-2005, 03:07 AM

God, this game just gets better. I keep finding cool little places to go and camp out with my MG. BF2 for t3h win.

o_tennovan · 08-18-2005, 04:13 AM

damnit i want this game now but won't even try it with my computer specs...

amd athlon xp 2500+
512 MB HyperX
ati radeon 9600 pro

by the sounds of it, this game would RAPE my computer. might buy another 512 of the hyperx tho...

You providing paychecks now? Last I checked they were still doing the mod for free out of a want to see it done. I say let 'em play. It relieves stress! The last thing we need is a mod developed by a bunch of high-strung coffee-drowned nutjobs.

...well, it might be too late for that. But why add to it, huh?

Then don't wear your computer specs!

o_tennovan · 08-18-2005, 06:16 PM

what kind of system do you need to play this on medium to low settings? I don't care what it looks like as long as I can play it..

and I couldn't find ANYONE on Xfire, dunno if its just me but you guys can look me up I guess... "Tennovan" or "[r]evolution" I can't remember.

o_broodingdude · 08-18-2005, 06:21 PM

Google: Battlefield 2 System Requirements

o_tennovan · 08-18-2005, 06:26 PM

I'm not asking for system requirements. I'm asking what you would need REALISTICALLY to play this game pretty well. Consider playing HL2 with basic system requirements and then get back to me on that one.

So again, thanks for the incredibly thoughtless post but I'm looking for someone who can give insight as to whether it will ever be playable on my system. So for those with systems above the basic requirements but not quite badass either, feel free to post something more intelligent than "OMG GOOGLE".

EDIT: Sorry if this post sounded rude but yours did not imply a nicer tone either. I just hate smartass replies. Again, sorry if it sounded out of line.

o_broodingdude · 08-18-2005, 06:31 PM

Not at all! You actually brought a smile to my face.

A good rule of thumb is: If you can safely play Half-Life 2, on whatever settings, you can play Battlefield 2 on the same.

But:

You still haven't posted/linked to your system specs, so yeah... we can tell you that it will run, but not with any amount of certainty.

o_tennovan · 08-18-2005, 07:13 PM

I listed some specs about 7 posts up.

AMD Athlon XP Barton 2500+ @ 1.867 GHz I think
Shuttle FN45 - nVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 Chipset
Kingston HyperX 512 MB DDR 333 (looking to buy 512 more)
Powercolor ATI Radeon 9600 Pro - 128 MB
Sweet ass $7 Floppy Disk Drive, can't hold my Floppy beyatches.

.... dunno what else to list. Any ideas?

Jiggles · 08-18-2005, 07:16 PM

Graphics-wise, you can get away with a fairly good vid card, and you don't need a super-fast processor either. But, I would suggest not using onboard audio (they often have crackling problems in BF2), and also getting at least 1 gig of ram. BF2 has tons of assets, and the sound load tends to overwelm crappy sound cards, and not having enough ram will lead to significant stuttering.

o_tennovan · 08-18-2005, 07:18 PM

As far as onboard audio, I don't use it. I have DSP-500's soooo yeah.

o_salty milkshake · 08-18-2005, 07:26 PM

you should be ok in BF2 with that spec in about 1024x780 with everything on low, draw distance on max. gfx card is biggest stumbling block, a 6600GT would be a huge improvement. I'm making do with 512mb RAM with it, but loading times are a bit of a fucker

o_tennovan · 08-18-2005, 07:56 PM

well my roommate wants to buy my vid card and im looking to get a slight upgrade anyways...

EDIT: So that's two diff opinions, one says more ram, the other says better gfx card... opinions?
