Dear AH-1 Cobra:

I love you. I cannot wait to fly you in this game. I'm preordering soon so that I can get the headset.

(Although I must admit that I'm not 100% certain which Cobra this is since I'm not familiar with those tailfins...?)

this game looks fucking hot.

5/20/2005 3:09:12 PM

5/20/2005 10:01:52 PM

if it's like the other Battlefield games, it's gonna rape computers. I'm guessing you gotta have at least a 6600GT to run this game smoothly.

5/20/2005 10:36:38 PM

Oh, I'm not worried in the least. 6800GT here, coupled with a 3.4ghz P4 and a gig of DDR4300 Hyper X all on an Abit IC7-MAX3. I can hardly wait to see how I can run it.

5/20/2005 11:48:19 PM

I think the x850XT PE can handle it.

5/21/2005 10:16:54 AM

So we should see a demo soon?

Remember the first one. When they released the Wake Island Demo. oh man..that shit was funnnnn stuff

5/22/2005 9:47:42 AM

i had more fun playing the wake island demo than the actual game

5/22/2005 9:51:48 PM

good thing I'll have a 6800 Ultra


this game looks awesome

5/23/2005 12:38:08 AM

will this run at least halfway decent on a 9600xt slightly OCed?

5/23/2005 8:09:15 AM

I sure hope so.

That is what I have. If I am not happy with the performance of it with BF2, I will probably end up upgrading to something a little better.

5/23/2005 8:51:51 AM

u'll have to keep me updated on how the card works and its best quality cause i'm not buyin the game right off, i'm waiting till i get back to school cause i only have 56K at home. also, that way if i need a new card i can save all summer (hopefully).

5/23/2005 9:05:29 AM

when's this game droppin? I hated bf1942 and all the shitty mods because of poor graphics and level design. This looks promising but when's it come out?

5/23/2005 10:04:15 AM

6-21

I hope a demo comes before then.

5/23/2005 10:05:52 AM

so what is gameplay like for BF?

it's not round based like counterstrike I'm assuming

5/27/2005 3:44:05 PM

depends on the mode ur in. i'm used to playing capture the flag style and takin over spawn points to reduce the enemy's ticket values towards zero. in the old BF's, you could respawn if u died, this 1 not sure if u'll be able to or not, i assume so.

on a side note, i cant wait till this thing comes out. even though i most likely wont be gettin it right away

5/27/2005 3:47:36 PM

New trailer.

6/1/2005 11:26:50 AM

is it actual game play or that fake shit?

6/1/2005 11:28:04 AM

Demo is out on the 10th

6/1/2005 12:22:53 PM

HOLY SHIT..!!!


Where did you read that?

6/1/2005 12:49:31 PM

^^^ That's actual gameplay

So far confirmed that the demo will be Gamecenter exclusive (gamecenter.com). I don't know about the date, but they said mid-June.

brianj320 -- the squad leaders will be mobile spawn points. There will be no visual cues to see which one of the enemy soldiers is the squad leader. So the best way to stop enemies from spawning at same location will be to wipe out a squad completely.

6/1/2005 1:35:55 PM

I'm buying this game. I still play 1942 btw.

6/1/2005 3:14:46 PM

^ everytime i see ur name i read it as "firm butt girl" then i realize that's not it.

6/1/2005 3:56:27 PM

I wonder if I'll be able to switch over to my joystick from my mouse in this one, and yes I know I could program the joystick to simulate mouse/keyboard use, but I want native support

6/2/2005 1:08:42 AM

BTW, each copy will be bundled with a free headset w/ mic. I reserved a copy at EBGames today

6/2/2005 4:33:17 AM

^ negative... EA just pulled the headsets from shippping.

Here is the release info for the Demo.

Quote :

" “When will the demo be released? Can you give me some details?” Another couple of commonly asked questions. I can say that at this stage EA will be releasing the demo for download from the U.S. on Friday 10th June. This will most likely equate to Sat 11th June Aus. time. I do not have any information on a specific release time, only the date at this stage. With regard to the demo itself. It will have more than one map and WILL be multiplayer. I have no information at this stage of any Australian servers that well be hosting the demo server-side for multiplayer action, however it’s quite likely that there may be US servers available at the time of the demo’s release. That’s about all the info I have regarding the demo at this stage."

6/2/2005 10:44:19 AM

damn that sux. so much for a headset.

demo out on june 10th.

6/5/2005 12:13:35 AM

Coming Friday!

6/5/2005 6:03:12 PM

6/5/2005 7:51:52 PM

Please god,

Do not have let them fuckup the jets.

6/5/2005 9:26:58 PM

I bet it'll look beautiful and crash after you've played it for about 30-45 minutes.

BF1942 was that way for me when I first got it.

(The demo was OK, actually... Outside of the fact that it fucking raped and murdered my machine.)

6/5/2005 10:21:58 PM

well the demo will be the test for my system, specifically the vid card. if i have to upgrade then it'll be done at the end of summer b4 headin back to school since i'll have the most $$ by then.

6/6/2005 9:34:31 AM

I'm expecting a plethora of patches.

I made my buck in the jets in DC, I hope they haven't stupided them up like EA is bound to do. The pace of DC was so much faster, and I'm hoping they've preserved that.

(meaning the jets actually fly fast as fuck)

6/6/2005 4:59:33 PM

i didn't like bf:v

will i like this?

6/6/2005 5:43:27 PM

did you like Desert Combat?

If so, then probably yes.

6/6/2005 7:43:01 PM

Get the DVD version so you don't have to deal with like 5-8 installation discs.

6/6/2005 9:43:59 PM

excitement.

6/6/2005 11:18:25 PM

is it friday yet?

6/7/2005 2:34:42 PM

God, desert combat was the best fucking mod ever for a game. I could play that crap for hours. Camping the allies with TEH SCUDS

6/7/2005 4:22:24 PM

you obviously didn't play with any decent people if you were able to get more than one shot off with the scud before being killed.

6/7/2005 4:34:13 PM

^ yeah you must have played w/ MAUGAN

6/7/2005 5:53:01 PM

Nice to see that the guys that made Desert Combat for BF42 are being rewarded generously for their hard work with the game that basically is an updated 42 with all the Desert Combat stuff in it. They reward them by closing their office, offering to give them employment in SWEDEN instead AND not be paying Trauma Studios $200k that they originally agreed to pay them.

http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2663

Gotta love EA. "Thanks for making us a great game that'll put us in assloads of money, here is your reward. You get to move to Sweden if you want to continue working here AND we aren't paying you the 200 grand we originally agreed to. Thanks and go fuck yourselves."

6/7/2005 7:47:34 PM

6/7/2005 8:07:56 PM

I have absolutely despised EA since they bought exclusive NFL rights after they realized that 2K5 was whipping Madden's ass.

But still, I do want this game more than I hate them. I got my nifty little headset for it today with my $5 reservation. That's a hell of an incentive.

Good, get all of the extras out of the way.
