Hi, I'm just wondering if any of you play this game. I'm thinking about getting it, the videos of it look awesome on YouTube (as does the flight side :o , and the videos of those tank guns firing.... :D), and I'm looking for some other opinions.

From what I heard, you can fly like a 1,200 mph jet in a Map that's only like 3 miles either way.... :rolleyes: :lol
-
aircraft aren't great, heli's are more fun i think. really good game tho, recommend it for multiplayer.
-
I've played around with it. Do like the multi player portion.
As for the flight part, like angelsandair said the maps are
too small for the speed the jets attain. Though the heli's
are fun.
-
I play....Alot :rock. I'm up to a Major.....It took me 3 years to get there.
I play maps without Vehicals.Its alot more fun.The Planes suck,and like another person said,
helis are cool!! Look me up if ya play I'm Kaw1000.The game is a blast. Don't get into a 64 player
room unless you have a kick butt puter.

It's an amazing game. I'm a Staff Sargent. If you really end up liking it, download Project Reality. Much more realistic (you can hear machine guns and sniper rifles echoing through canyons), and much more team oriented. Some servers actually kick you if you aren't in a squad (that isn't exactly a bad thing, just start your own squad). You also have many more weapons and vehicles. It's an extremely long download time, but you'll like it. The 332nd Flying Mongrels play it regularly, and you can occasionally find some of them online. It will take you a while to get good, but it's worth it. Kinda like AH. If you want to play Project Reality, then you have to have Battlefield 2, and the Special Forces Expansion pack to play. And if you feel like Project Reality, then just go straight to that, it is a completely different game.Playing BF2 for a year doesn't make you an expert at PR. A warning though, you do need a pretty good system. The requirements can be steep. http://www.realitymod.com/ (http://www.realitymod.com/) That's the link for PR.

All I can say about it is it's full of problems. Getting a headshot to register as a hit is as hard as getting a TYPHie to come down from 20K! Ranking up takes forever too. I've been stuck on Staff Sergent (or am I stuck on Gunnery Sergent?), for over 3 months now, and I'm only half way to the next rank! It is pretty fun though if you get past the grenade spamming at Karkand, Jet-hores, SVD noobs, and crappy medics.
I would actually recommend Battlefied 2142. I find it alot more fun.
-
I play Battlefield 2142. It's a hoot.
-
I really didn't like 2142. I do enjoy Battlefield Vietnam and the WW2 mod for it though.
-
Would a comp with this be good enough to handle a decently large multiplayer game (I'm doing this from memory):
NVidia GeForce FX5200
512 MB RAM
Pentium 4 (2.4 or 3.2 GHz, forgot which)
and Windows XP Home?

What year comp is that? That sounds pretty old, last time I heard of a Pentuim 4 was in '03 or '04?
The Vid card sounds like it could take the game though. :aok

It's old and it's slow. I have way to much junk on the hard drive, so I'm going to try FSAutostart when I get home.

Have you ever been a commander? If not try that. It will get you alot of points.Every time your spot a enemy announce it, and at the the game you will
Have 80 or 90 points.Its hard to explain if you have never been a commander. I play two maps Karkand and Jalabbad...If you want to hook up some time,
We can team up and rock. Also being a medic and saving people give you a ton of points...I've seen guys come in 1st place with only 3 or 4 kills.
-
I played it and you'd be hard pressed with that system you have there. Your biggest draw back in your video card. The FX series was a flop for Nvidia and the 5200 was the lowest card they had for the series, a very small step above onboard video.
Also, 512mb of ram is going to not help either. And your older Northword/Prescot (PresHOT) P4 is getting dated.
It may be playeable at 800x600 with everything on low, but your game is not going to look no where near what hose videos show.
-
Ok, well I think I'll probably get the game and live with the graphics until my parents finally get a Mac :D It looks good enough to justify that.
-
Ugh...
A mac?
:rolleyes:

Yeah, they're cool, and they seem to work :D

:rofl Sorry, I couldn't help myself. No offense.
I could never see myself with a Mac.
-

Until you realize that if you want to do anything useful beside browse the internet on your Mac you'll have to dual boot windows.
So you may as well have just not been a tool and bought a PC.

I made that in the time since you posted the original. Yeah, the text is off center. So?

Yea the jets are a bit much for the maps and very un-realistic. The heli's are a bit more fun and the tanks are pretty good so over all it's a fun game but it's a bit old I'd assume they must be working on BF3 by now.

Last night I was 2-4 for 4 or 5 rounds by being a medic on the Karkand Infantry only maps. I rarely had a kill, but I had 50+ points via heals and revives. Then a couple of others caught on and I had to go back to killing the enemy. That was on the HOG Slaughter House map which is 64 player, nade, clay, bunny hopping fest. Best night I've had in a while.
As stated, the 332nd have a number of players who do BF2/Project Reality. Most of us use the 332nd prefix.

I play in that arena sometimes!! Sure would be alot more fun if we could hook up and play as a team!
Maybe we should start a BF2 AH League
-
If you want a good BF game go play BF1942 with the Forgotten Hope mod.

I actually haven't played BF2 since I started playing this game. IMHO I thought Joint Ops from Novalogic was a better game. It had high grass you could hide in and snipe people from long range. It was so fun being sneaky in that game.
One of my favorite things to do, was to choose a uniform that looked pretty close to the enemies uniforms. I'd then sneak over their their heli spawn and wait by a chopper. With JO you could jump in the back of a heli and just stand in it waiting 4 bad guys to show up.
Typically they were so hyped up they were going to get to fly the chopper or get one of the guns they would never even notice you were a bad guy. If the first guy didn't notice you then it was pretty sure bet no one else would either. Once the chopper started to fill up no one would pay attention to you so it was safe.
I'd then wait till the chopper was in the air and then start knifing all the bad guy and steal their chopper. Oh man that was so much fun to do. I almost want to reinstall that game thinking about it. :rofl :rofl :rofl
This was JO btw http://www.novalogic.com/games.asp?GameKey=JOCA#ss

I play JO Escalation with the International Conflict mod in North America. I rarely step into a full TDM/Assault match. You'll probably catch me playing COOP of some sort.
I'm on as Danneskjold.

errr Snipers :mad: when I find them they get cut up,not shot!!!

I never like the coop, I always like the capture the flag type games.

I don't know what it is about them. I have a clean cable connection rated to several MBp/s, yet I still get some warping in the large games.

BF2 is fun, but I really enjoy Project Reality. The 332nd Flying Mongrels have quite a few that play BF2 and on Saturday the Project Reality Mod.
-
I like Yatzy.
It has very high def graphics, very interactive and no need to look at the box for spec requirements (just make sure you have a pen or the game will crash).
Going sailing for a week (look out britain)
<poof>

Jealous. My sailboat needs a new cleaning, wiring for the trailer, the trailer actually being registered, possibly some sail repair tape. Besides that, it's ready to go!

The 332nd Fighting Mongrels welcome all BF2 PR Members to join our clan or to come visit our Server. Our Offical Squad Night is Saturday at 3:00PM PST, but we're also on Sunday Afternoon and Monday Nights.
We have elected to have auto balance off to allow other clans to fight together.
Please visit our website at http://332nd.org/bf2project-reality
Our Server is Server Name: Fighting Mongerls PR ver.07b, IP Address: 8.3.5.122:16562
We also run in other servers with auto balance off.
We are a small, close knit squad of friends whose first priority is fun, friendship and camaraderie. We play both BF2 and BF2 Project Reality. Sometimes will jump into WWIIOL as well.
The squad is an offshoot of the 332nd Flying Mongrels, which can trace its lineage back to the online flight simulator Warbirds, in 1997. In 2000, the majority of the squad moved from Warbirds over to Aces High, where we remain as a leading squadron in special events and scenarios. Many of the 332nd Flying Mongrels had been trying BF2 PR since 2007. e have about half the playing both games. In fact, so many Flying Mongrels were playing BF2 PR and WWIIOL, that we have created a sister squadron, which became the 332nd Fighting Mongrels on January 16, 2004. We currently have our own BF2 Project Reality Server that several Fighting Mongrels contribute funds and service to keep the server running full time.
What kind of people make up the 332nd Fighting Mongrels? Well, we are a very diverse group of people from the United States and Canada. We have squad members in nearly every major region of the map of North America. By day, we are plumbers and IT professionals and teachers and business owners, and just about every other profession you can think of. By night, we are military simulation enthusiasts who share a love of the thrills, chills and kills of virtual battle.
Our squad is small, 12-20 people on purpose, because we regard each other as family. We are not only squadmates, but friends as well. We have a long history of helping each other out, whether it's help troubleshooting a PC problem, a personal problem or anything else. We have even pooled our resources and spare parts together to help purchase and build complete computer systems for squad members who are on a tight budget and can't afford to upgrade very often. Everyone on the squad has a voice in making decisions, including voting on new members who are candidates to join the squad.
Why don't I talk up our superior organizational and killing skills? Well, because that's not our real specialty or emphasis. If you want to be a "Joe" military, look somewhere else, because we specialize in having fun and making each other laugh, sometimes at the expense of ourselves and our dignity! Don't get me wrong, we all love killing the opposition and having successful missions in both BF2 PR and WW2OL, but our first priority has always been to make sure everyone is having a good time fighting. We have our own dedicated Ventrilo server, which we use whenever we play. Our squad nights are Saturdays at 4pm US Central time, although you can find Mongrels on almost every night of the week during the early-late evenings.
If you are interested in joining the 332nd Fighting Mongrels, or just want to play with us as a guest to see if you like our style.

Thats a fairly quick fix! Git her out. A boat on land is like a... boat on land.

Come look for us in Project Reality today.. We'll be on.

Well, I still have some important fixes to do. Like waiting for my next paycheck (tuesday).
Or attaching the trailer hitch onto my Jeep. It's kind of hard to tow a trailer without those things.
