So much for Retardin "knowing" what Battlefield 2 can handle. Remember you bitching in my forum, saying our vehicles and buildings didn't have 19,000 polygons, because BF2 can handle it? Guess what moron, the reason why BF2 has polygon limits that reach about 8,000 for the largest vehicles and structures is because of how large the levels are, and how much crap is put inside of them. If you had any concept of game design you would have known this before, and wouldn't have shown how stupid you were when you tried telling me what BF2 could handle, even though DICE and EA said completely otherwise and supported my work.

Aircraftkiller, do you still have that Geforce FX 5200? I was just curious if it ran BF2.

I said it ran BF2 without a problem, with all settings set as low as possible, earlier in the thread.

Renardin... They cant possibly be Max settings... You dont even have any antialiasing on. And double check the settings. I changed them, but for some reason BF2 didnt record my changes when I next ran the game, so I thought I was running max settings when I was still running medium.

I run all settings on the highest possible, except antialiasing which I think is on 4x, possibly 2x. I think my card could handle 6x just as well though, the only stuttering I get is when I fly over the map for the first time.

The game is very dependent on it's lighting system in order to look good. Turn off all of the lighting effects and it looks exactly like the original Battlefield game.

It's maximum settings. If you don't believe, go at the same place on the map. Make a screenshot. The only way to make this looks better is using an higher res. (like 1600*1200)

And yes, if you remove some lightning effects, you are in btf1942. I still prefer Renegade. C&C mode is cool, BTF is crap. But that's just my opinion.

Anyway I tested max graphics with 1600*1200 and HL2 is still superior to that. The trees still look bad.

It means that the game will look decent only if you turn all to max and have 1600*1200 as screen res. Even HL2 looks better on a 800*600.

only good thing about BF2 is the squad system its the only new thing i have seen apart from the models

it still has its shity menu system which is fucking annoying when trying to "esc" out of spawn menu and then it takes 10 seconds to load the main menu then another 10 to get back into game and by that time your dead :/

also has its shity voting system aswell you need 90% of players to vote to get a TKer kicked and only 10% of the players know how to vote >_<

Do not waste your money buying this game its a rip off

my 6800 Gt works great with it but I still agree with JPNOD. It is bullshit that they would pull this crap in order to temp people into buying better cards. If you card can support HL2, Doom 3, etc, then this is complete bs, because the graphics look a hell of alot better in those games in my opinion. Not to mention, I had the most recent drivers installed and they wanted to reinstall them on me. Not to mention my drivers were 3rd party ones that were tweaked out so they perform a hell of a lot better but w/e. EA is gay and always Gay. They call themselves an Independent Company, what more can I say their. Yeah, EA is obvisously a Indpendent. (Sarcasm for those who didnt know)

The only reason the Ti cards dont like BF2, is because BF2 uses pixel shader 1.4, and the Ti cards use 1.3. If they changed it for 1.3 support, it would visually look the same, it would just take take the graphics card a few more passes to calculate it.

Sounds more to me like they're deliberately doing this for their partnership with nvidia, making people buy their cards. Even though the Ti cards are hell of a good cards and are perfectly capable in BF2.

I play games for the gameplay, if it can look good at the same time that's a bonus, but not something I feel is required.

I'm not quite sure the people who say sniping is hard are talking about. Since the moment I played the game I've been sniping and doing pretty damn good with it. Exactly like in BF1942, you have to steady the sight before it will shoot-- and that is the ONLY problem with the sniper rifles: The lack of shakey scope. That was the indicator that you were going to hit on target, but without it, you must sit and wait and aim like a normal sniper does.

So thats why I sucked at sniping. I tried the scope->shoot method, where I run around, see someone, scope and shoot them.

I've also become good at flying now, havent I RenX ;D

I really like the gameplay of it, and in my opinion, it looks good too.

No, you stink


Java is right. The people that say sniping is hard are just the ones who expected to be able to whore their way to the top with 1 shot kills. Just AWPers in CS:S, and n00b cannons in Renegade. Ooops, looks like you actually need skill in this game Sarcasm

You also have to allow for the fact that BF2 plots bullet trajectories, so you need to compensate for the drop.

Well, technically they do, but not by any appreciable amount. Certainly not at only 200 yards (assuming you're shooting at a 0 or 180 degree angle parellel to the ground). If you're shooting up, you can just expect some drag and you'll get a projectile type of motion with it.

But that is simple physics, and I highly doubt that DICE factored in gravity into the bullets.

Works fine on LOW with my Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 oc. Can play it on HIGH, but I get like 5 fps.

that water looks like shit lol. I certainly expected to see much better graphics in it, and i really dont see much potential seeming its the exact same thing as bf1942, just with a tiny bit better graphics and new units and maps.

I hated the fact its always about flags, cant they find any way to make the game more fun lol?
