[Game On]Battlefield 2

edited April 2007 in Games and Technology
So we had a game on thread for this, I know we still do, however, it's old. There's a lot of clutter in it, so i'd like to start new, and maybe the older BF2 players can see a brand new game on thread for this game and come in and wonder what's going on. And after doing a search for it, I believe the old topic is long gone. :P

So, i'll start out with..

What's Battlefield 2?

Let's let wiki describe it:
Battlefield 2 (abbreviated to BF2) is a computer game where players fight in a present day battlefield using state of the art firearms and vehicles. BF2 represents a first-person shooter with some strategy and RPG (Role-Playing-Game) elements. BF2 was developed by Digital Illusions CE (DICE) with a custom engine for gameplay, physics, and graphics. In addition, Trauma Studios contributed to the development of the game after it was acquired by Digital Illusions CE. BF2 is published by Electronic Arts as the third full game of the Battlefield series, released in late June of 2005.

Well..That doesn't really help, but Battlefield 2 is just a sequel to Battlefield 1942, set in a somewhat fictional war, with the PCL (China), USMC (USA) and MEC (Middle East). The game is very similar to battlefield 1942. Actually, the game is simply battlefield 2 about 50-60 past Battlefield 1942, with a much finer engine, better graphics, tighter gameplay, and overall, a better execution then its predecessor.

The game is an absolute blast, and a lot of people who played Battlefield 2 from its release up until summer of last year would agree. Usually every night the ventrilo server was filled with people playing it for hours at a time, and a lot of fun was to be had. Chopper raids, six-men special-op asset rape, and Ridin' C4 Spinnaz (which I believe whark was really good at)

So, for oldcomers and newcomers to BF2 (and hopefully you are getting this game instead of 2142. It's only $20 at bestbuy, and you can get the deluxe edition with special forces for $40) will feel up for playing sometime. Ventrilo is always available to make things a lot easier, especially because the in-game VOIP in BF2 is not that great.

We don't have a server anymore, since I am sure it's long gone, but until then, we can hop on random pub servers, possibly near-empty to avoid fucktardary. Also, the latest patch is V1.41, so be sure to patch the game up. Have fun with things like cartillery, which is honestly not as bad once I got to check it out, but the game still has its very many few issues, but it still feels like a really fun game hopping into public games.

Now, let us get some games going. Preferably without camping for air vehicles.

    Tempted to reinstall....


    By the way, I seem to be missing one of my SF discs. While I don't particularly miss a lot of the maps, I do like me some unlocks. I'm wondering how the game is going to handle this.

    Oh man, I am SO THERE tomorrow night. You may have noticed me gaming it up in the GAME ON channels on vent, as I've just gotten back into it myself. Used to love all the fun PA games we had.

    The game should still recognize you as having the guns without SF. I unlocked them for a buddy of mine who did not own SF. I just logged on as him on my computer with SF installed, played one SF map online and blammo, SF unlocks in BF2 without him playing/owning SF. Not sure if it still works that way, but was still working this past summer. So I don't see a lack of SF hurting you.

    Well yeah, I fully expect to still have the unlocks I already had.

    I'm just wondering if from now on I'm going to be getting 1 unlock or two per rank change.

    Ah ok I see. If I remember correctly my friend still got 2 per unlock. Not positive on it though.

    Would a 7900GS play this fairly well?

    I bought this last night, as I already had the BF2 Booster Pack.

    Of course, I need to get a bigger power supply for my PC before I install my new 7900GS, though.

    Anybody still interested in playing?

    Too bad 2142 is what BF:V was to 1942.

    However, stalker is my new love, until BF3 or equivilent. Some FH2, or new versions of PR/PoE would get me to reinstall, however.

    That's a good question; I've actually considered reinstalling BF2 just for this mod.

    I'd be willing to give Project Reality a try. I downloaded it and screwed around in single player and I think it implements some really awesome features. I just need to get a headset so I can actually communicate with whoever I'm squadding with.

    Is there a standard Vent channel we all join, or will we use the VOIP feature in-game?

    Have you been on the vent server? If the bf2 channels are gone, just go to a gameon.

    I'll be on late at night. Is there a standard server chosen to join up? I can't even remember my name, think it was like VolatileSky or something.

    Oh man, just thinking about this game brings a small tear to my eye. This game allowed for the only situation that I'll ever come across where Captain K called ME his Captain, and I called him "Private K" or "Liutenant K" or just plain "Soldier." I'm talking, of course, about being a commander! I remember when we had the PA faceoff and I commanded us to victory.

    There were plenty of times when I was the lousiest commander ever, too. I remember artillerying (is that a word?) whole squads because I made a bad prediction about where the enemy was going to be.

    tl;dr: Good times.

    I am patching up and downloaded project reality and desert crisis, I watched the trailer for project reality and it really looked quite great, so I'm hoping there's enough servers for that. Desert Crisis is supposed to bring back that DC gameplay feel and vehicles/weaps...

    I miss my days as a commander and raiding other clan servers and slapping them around. Alas, even though I still have the game and expansions (and even one of the boosters from a contest), it still bogs down my system, where back before patch 1.12 or so it ran perfectly with high framerates.
