So these new weapon unlocks will be available for use in regular BF2 servers? So that means that if I don't have SF and I am in a regular server, then I kill someone with a new upgrade and take his kit, I can use it? That would mean that all the files and data for the new guns would be installed somewhere in my BF2 directory.

^yes, that is the case...and why the last patch was somewhere in the 300MB range.

11/23/2005 10:48:44 AM

is there any way to play single player with more than 16 players?

11/24/2005 1:05:14 AM

I think I like the warlord map the best

11/24/2005 3:02:05 AM

w00t - veteran commander tonight...still need about 3 hours to get the 10 needed for the ribbon

11/25/2005 4:12:26 AM

Has anyone unlocked any of the new 2nd tier of unlocks?

Their choice of weapons seems really odd to me.

11/27/2005 5:55:28 PM

Still haven't seen a list of these yet... Actually haven't played since the patch was released. Anyone got the info?

11/28/2005 1:48:53 AM

I know someone made a list in the forums at http://www.bf2s.com, but I can't find it right now. That's pretty much the only place I go now to get stats and info on the games. I go to PlanetBattlefield to laugh at people bitching about the game.

Found it.

Interesting choices. I was kinda hoping to see a P90 in there somewhere, but I'm pleased with the SCAR-L and G36E. Has anyone unlocked these yet?

11/29/2005 8:14:28 AM

Ok, I was playing the other night and I kept blowing up the enym forces artillery. I'd go back like 4 or 5 minutes later and all 3 arty pieces would be back up and running. Is the artillery self-repairing or is there just a really good engineer?

11/29/2005 10:03:54 AM

Was there a supply crate near the artillery?

11/29/2005 10:21:48 AM

Not sure, also, on wake 2007, if you capture the enemy airfield (when you're USMC) does the UAV trailer and arty still remain on the enemy's side?

11/29/2005 11:30:49 AM

It is a glitch on that map. They can still use it if you capture their airfield but if you try and destroy the assets after the base has been captured, you get team damage. You can blow them before you capture the assets though.

11/29/2005 11:56:11 AM

so what's the general consensus on this expansion?

11/29/2005 12:09:20 PM

Say you know someone that has Special Forces. Say they log into your account from Special Forces and unlock some weapons (I know that there are I think two or three weapon unlocks you can get right away in SF), then logout. Would you be able to log into your account from BF2 and choose those weapons?

11/29/2005 3:21:32 PM

Wow, just had a great round as a commander. 123 points after the win.

11/29/2005 3:21:38 PM

The MP7 was my favorite weapon in Raindow 6: Raven Shield

But since it's an engineer's weapon, it'll probably suck in BF2

11/29/2005 4:05:04 PM

MP7 is pretty good

11/29/2005 5:58:49 PM

And what's with their obsession with the G36 variants?

11/29/2005 6:03:48 PM

does the E have a red dot?

11/29/2005 6:31:08 PM

11/29/2005 6:56:21 PM

In regard to my previous post about unlocking the special forces weapons with just regular BF2 installed, I have looked in a few BF2 forums and some people there report that it does in fact work. So essentially if anyone you know has SF, all they have to do is sign into your account, play for a few mins on a server, unlock the guns you want and that's it, you can select the guns when you play in regular BF2 servers.

So... anyone have SF and would be willing to help out with some unlocks?

11/30/2005 3:27:34 PM

BF2 runs good on my new computer,



DUAL AMD 64 processors

4GB RAM

2x NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB

11/30/2005 5:02:41 PM

good job on wasting your money

11/30/2005 6:30:29 PM

^^Well thats good to hear.



My dual Opteron 280/SLi'ed FX4500s/8GB Ram system just barely squeaked by.

I hope you are proud of yourself, Rat cause it runs perfectly on my AMD 64 with 1 GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon X700, heh.

11/30/2005 7:16:26 PM

my Athlon XP1600+ Radeon 9700PRO and 1GB of RAM runs it fine, too

11/30/2005 7:50:52 PM

Erm, at what levels?

Because I have a A64 3000+, X800pro, 1GB ram, and I still can't play it at peak settings.

11/30/2005 7:55:05 PM

all on Medium

11/30/2005 8:00:17 PM

I max everything out without problems on a AMD 64 4000+, 2 GB Ram, x800XL 512MB card

I'm also always the first guy loaded on a map, which makes it easy to pick up a quick cap or lay down some mines

11/30/2005 8:23:46 PM

1 gig of ram is so hot right now

11/30/2005 9:24:23 PM

It's the new 512

11/30/2005 9:28:49 PM

shit, 1 gig was so last year...you gotta have at least 2 gigs in dual channel to even get on the list at the clubs today

12/1/2005 12:10:13 AM

sheeeeeeeeeeeet

12/1/2005 12:28:33 AM

You guys are living in the past. I just upgraded to infinite RAM, they had a special deal at newegg but it is long gone now.

12/1/2005 7:21:06 AM

Say now... why is there no sniper unlockable? Or am I missing something?

it's what the US military is shifting to in the next weapons cycle.... all of them OICW (m-23 i think?) and the M-8 are based on the G36 mechanism....

i would like to see the SiG series in there and the P90


1800+ 768MB ram 6600GT GF card have me sitting pretty, i can run high on everything if i so choose....

post upgrade (will be soon probably) will have 3500+ AMD 64 and 1.5 gigs in dual channel...

[Edited on December 1, 2005 at 7:11 PM. Reason : +]

12/1/2005 7:09:42 PM

no, there is no sniper unlockable...most likely because there really isn't a better rifle out there than the M95...but I would have liked to see a M-14 sniper rifle up against the PKM with the bolt action being the unlock and a bit stronger....the M95 could have been the SF unlock...oh well

WRAITH,

is your computer an emachine?

Funny because I still have my old computer and I have that exact setup. 1g ram +amd64 +x700
and it runs like crap on HIGH and MEDIUM settings on the graphics.

If you get it to run great on the high settings, do tell me how.

12/2/2005 1:10:50 PM

If you can buy this system

Quote :

"DUAL AMD 64 processors 4GB RAM 2x NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB"

and not have more money than brains, please tell me how.

12/2/2005 4:26:56 PM

I could afford a system like that

then I'd have a giant epenis

12/2/2005 5:26:38 PM

i picked up spec ops from best buy for $25 yesterday... but i am scared to install with exam week coming up

12/3/2005 9:16:34 AM

Anybody wanna sell me Battlefield 2 or perhaps trade for Civilization 4 (perfect condition)?

12/6/2005 3:03:51 PM

new found love for BF2 thanks to special forces. combine the grabling hook and the zip line in a squad and you can go anywhere hehe

12/6/2005 4:05:31 PM

I'd settle for merely having a squad, period.

No one works together anymore

12/6/2005 6:05:03 PM

join me on comcast server....I play with one of my guildmates from WoW and we own as a squad.

12/6/2005 7:17:21 PM

do you cast spells against the insurgents

12/6/2005 7:48:09 PM

they cast magic missile.


into the darkness.

12/6/2005 7:52:08 PM

Hey, I just pulled an old SBlive value out of a box tha tI had sitting around to play on bf2. The sound is pretty good, except all of the radio comms are choppy as well as my gun when I fire it, it sounds like I'm firing from far away. Any ideas?

12/6/2005 9:16:51 PM

Make sure the sound is set to hardware as opposed to software. It didn't do this for me automatically.
