(Global) Battlefield 2 preview

[TrinireturnofGamez]

 have you tried it on a pc with 256 RAM ? how does it play ?
 
 it seems that only the server needs 1 gb / 512 mb of ram , and the rest can be low end pcs .

[TriniXaeno]

I wouldn't dare.

The load times alone would be death in itself. Battlefield 1942: Desert Combat was already a biatch to load on 256.

Passable on 512

and glorious on 1gb.

Thus far, Battlefield 2 load times are tolerable at 1gb but still noticeable.

We just tested the dedicated server which defaulted to a higher number of players and thus the bigger map layout. Planes and helicopters iwmc!

Still sweating it as I type this.

Session iwmc.

You check out the "heat sinking" anti air craft guns?

[TrinireturnofGamez]

 yea , though the only heat source in the game were the  refineries ...   
   I'v mastered taking off, using up all my missles and crashing into the enemy base whie i parachute down, dice should have made landing / targeting with the aircraft easier  , either with markers in the air to show the correct angle to land and auto target , or computer take off/ landing .
    i need to sweat this bad  , hopefuly i can abuse Pr0wls DSL or green dot will invent a way to transmit data faster than light .......

[TriniXaeno]

Well targetin was easy.

These guys had one fella flying the plane while another would target and guide the missile after it had been fired.

That way the pilot could focus on keeping them in the air without worrying about targeting at all.

Really cool.

Baego I coming dong dey later today hoss... must get meh grubby little hands on dat game jed.......... I hope you opening cuz is SUHUWEAT IWMC

[TriniXaeno]

Nemesis
Dchosen1
Crackerjack
Dardura
Angelus
And some mapleleaf fellas who callsigns I forget had take a session too.

De game mad, glad, bad, yuh dad.

The only thing, I ain't dream it last night. Normally, when a game totally wtfpwns, I does dream it.

Starcraft and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War in the dream club.

Maybe when the full game reach, It will enter into such prestigious company.

INCREDIBLE TALANT - game has me wanting a new grfx card to run it on full specs
it was my 5200  he spoke of, it does run nice on med graphs but a man want to see HEADS FLY
the commander feature is incredible
its like your god
uav's can be launched
fire and forget artillery baragges to suppress enemy movement
and THANK GOD FOR SUPPLY CRATES its like a medic and a support man in a BOX!

[TriniXaeno]

I have yet to use this Commander feature.

but thanks for the instruction last night, I gonna try it out today!

yea the squad leader thing is real cool! drop some artilery on a man mc, watch them pitch....

But, sadly, when your doing that, your really vunaruable to attack...

[TriniXaeno]

how so?

[ProtoJoe]

Well, when it is your doing that, you have to operate via the squad leader screen, which is a big screen which blocks your whole view. The game is obviously still in realtime so opposing forces, if they find you, you would pretty much be a sitting duck. So, if your a squad leader, and your abusing your squad leader ablities, either site your arse in a tank, or find a really isolated spot.

[TrinireturnofGamez]

battlefield have plenty places to hide... crouch down under a coconut tree in the tall grass , crouch behind a building in your base , or just stay your ass at the carrier/ airstrip .

[TriniXaeno]

boy, we get our asses properly well cut today in BF2.

Who tell me to waste time playing around with the commander feature. lol

It was damn cool though. Air strike idmc. UAV Spy Plane. You could see men walking anywhere on the map. Insane. Nobody could hide.

I haven't looked at my control keys yet but can you "peek"?

Q and E give me other stuff, like communication.

Those were the best candidates for the leaning left to right required for peeking.

Is it in the game? or not at all?

Also wish I could dive roll outta the way of tanks / road hog vehicles!

[suzieboy]

This New Battle Field2 sounding real sick boy.....like they put more Strategy in it to make it more team competitive.....i like these kind of team games besides the normal "runn and gunn".....yes Unreal i mean you.
 
But is the environment suitable(ie. landscape, vegetation ,grass trees and  ting) enough to hide in and camo, so you are not easily spoted when prone?

[virusone]

it aint no SOF2.......    make way for BF2 the machine killer

[ProtoJoe]

Well is not only to hide in camo, cause a man like me who playing games like socom and MGS3 for awhile now, my eyes are acustomed to the slightest movement in the background. Where some people would run pass someone who lieing down inthe grass sniping people in the foot as the pass.

But, yea it have alot of places to hide, but with the demo, (all i can play in single player for the while) what I would do is first thing, go stright across to other side and take out the cannons so no more air strike.
