BF2 Retail Info Thread
 

12 maps
Conquest only

Did I miss something?

There are no China VS MEC maps but that's easily moddable. I'm working on a SP mod for that now.

But yeah, I'm really disappointed about the lack of coop. I mean, WTF, they have bots in each of those maps in SP.

try to h4x b0tz0rz in bud.

and /dcc in irc cool:

I went to Target and EBGames to get it. EB didn't even get any yet and Target hasn't unpacked theirs yet so were going back at 3.

rock:

Mine didn't shipt oday for some reason wallbash:

However, after trying it out yesterday that's less of a disappointment.

Your order for Battlefield 2 has been posted.

Please allow 3-5 days delivery.

Title: Battlefield 2

Delivery Cost: FREE

Play.com, weeeeeeee rock: rock: rock: dance:

I'm getting mine tommrowwwww.

rock:

Yeah, Gamestop's shipment of BF2 got pushed back to tommorow, but even if they got the shipment today they wouldn't have unpacked it because the official release is tommorow. I'm not going to get it there though, I'll try Walmart or Sams Club. I got a giftcard there, and plus I'll get like 4.67 or some shit off retail price!

im gonna go buy it right now biggrin:

Adding more bots to SP doesn't work
Chinese get older weapons than the MEC
Chinese seem out of place in general

Still looks pretty good. A DC style mod or Silent Heroes should be very sexy on this engine. Same with a WW2 mod though the commander mode might be a bit too powerful for that.

In all the interviews the chinese were meant to have all this uber new weaponry most of which hadn't been deployed on the battlefield in real life yet. One of their guns reminds me a shitload of the famas rifle, their helo seems to be pretty much the same as the mec helo as well. oOo:


I would have preferred european forces to be put into the game as well, that battlefield modern combat incorperates a euro side, be nice rolling around in a challenger or a leapord 2 tank along with some of the better attack coptors that would have been available.

Still yet to play full version, holding out on my copy arriving instead of dloading it. dance:

Such as the AK-74 oOo:

Gerv had a good point to put European peeps in...i like that idea.

SIngle player pisses me off...12 maps, only conquest and is on'y a 16 player map so you can't play bigger maps, which pisses me off.

Only 10 maps in SP. They're pretty weak since it only adds 15 bots and the change that worked in the demo seems to do nothing in the full.

Amusingly, the bots will steal the blackhawks just like in DC, except now they can fly them. They won't pick you up with them sadly.

Sounds a little disappointing but I still want it.

It is, but it's still worth it. HL2 may have more overall mod potential, but BF2 is far superior in terms of huge battles and lack of a POS system like steam.

Posted today [img]http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gerald.marley/Smilies/drink.gif[/img]

I got mine earlier today.

Jesus...the lag is horrible. My ping is 55, my settings all on low yet it plays like I'm running it off a comadore 64.

my isnt that bad but it still pisses me off. there really is no difference between Chinese and MEC, seems kind of silly. Overall the gameplay is fun and the mods will be fun.......i hope

Retail is definately tolerable, but not as amazing as I wished it'd be. I was sort of let down by the demo also. Hopefully we can get a server or a game going sometime. That'd be a lot of fun.

How often does the game update your stats?

What don't you like about it? From what ive seen the 64 player maps are worth the price alone. The only game ive installed at the minute is the demo. ed:

I noticed that. Even more so with every side having the same unlocked weapons. The Chinese didn't have much work put into them so they have similar equipment to the MEC. I guess that's why there are no CH vs MEC maps.

I guess I could've been more specific. happy: My main problem was with singleplayer/coop, but I'm enjoying multiplayer. Once and awhile I'll get 10 fps during a real crowded battle or on a map I cant handle too well, get a little frustrated with the small arms, but otherwise it has a lot of potential for fun sessions. Hopefully someone on gf1 with the resources to start their own server or whatever is thinking about it, it'd be worth it imo.

Whats your specs for running the game?

I was considering trying to run a server, have enough parts sitting around to make a 3ghz p4 server but my gay 32kbps upload would ruin it. annoy:

The chinese in the game, ive yet to play full version but if theyre carbon copies of the mec thats pretty lame. I thought it would give us a third unique faction to play with but even their attack helo is the same as the mec variation. I suppose like in bf1942 they will eventually add more units and maps and things so maybe they can be differentiated abit after a while.

I remember seeing the e3 vid from a year ago showing that dam map, was meant to have dump trucks you could drive and that sequence with the container having its cable shot and the container falling was meant to be in the full game, i dunno if either of these made it in. :(

9600 pro( I think pro... ) 128
3.0 p4
1gig mushkin pc3200

I'll keep an eye out for some of the material penetration and extra physics type stuff, but so far I haven't noticed them.

WTF? The game is forcing me to run at the defualt settings even though I have them set at low.

You actually paid for a game...especially one by EA? Man, i've been away from IRC for a couple days...but I didn't expect this...

I'll probably pick my copy up tomorrow or whenever I have some time.

Yeah, crazy eh?

I felt it preferable to putting up with the BS I did with bf1942 ever since PFC Green's cd key was invalidated somehow.

LOL

I remember not being able to play in any real servers with bf42. Good times.

Just got mine today, the full version seems to run a lot smoother than the demo for me.

Mine was delivered while i was working today, got back, nice little package on the table......

WooHoo! played a bit of single player chinese style, blew up a guy with c4 and he landed on one of those big circular silo things, haha so funneh, its w-w-w-wicked rock:

Now for Multi, hopefully i can use my Demo username/password for the full, here goes...
