Battlefield 2

Hiki · 06-13-2005, 01:11 AM

So the next game to the Battlefield family is BF2. Looks fantastic and so does it feel. Try out the demo what just came out (it was hard to get it as every place came overloaded). What do you guys think of BF2? Considering the demo it is great

Uisor · 06-13-2005, 02:56 AM

I never played the 1942 nor the Vietnam. I wanted to play them, but when I was ready to buy them I knew that Battlefield 2 is coming so I decided to wait for it. I've pre-ordered it already some time ago and I also have the demo here (got it via torrent so no problems there).

And it is really good game. I especially like the thing that arabs (or who ever they are) doesn't speak english, but instead of their own language (at least it sound like that). But still in the text field the lines are in english so you know what they are saying.

sidetwo · 06-13-2005, 06:17 AM

I really want to play it but my current computer has no chance of actually running it. So I'll have to wait until next year when I get this, Alan Wake, F.E.A.R and DNF (if it comes out then

).

guaps · 06-13-2005, 10:27 AM

DNF is gonna have the biggest releaseparty ever

They've been planing it for years.

I remember the old Battlefield as being a good game, only tried the demo not the full game. But online gaming is a drag, when all the others are better because they've been playing the game 50x more often then you do.

Not true. After two days of playing BF2 demo i'm almost certainly in the TOP-5. It doesn't matter what FPS you play, skills are easily migrated into another game.

guaps · 06-13-2005, 11:33 AM

Yes, but you'd have to have FPS skills in the first place

And as you said, after two days of playing. If you don't have the time to play, other than in breaks from doing something else (wanted to say something important, but gaming is important to some), when are you going to implement your skills in another game.

MikaRMD · 06-13-2005, 08:34 PM

I usually enjoy playing new FPS's during the first weeks of launch. After that I find that some players have just way too much time to learn the maps by heart and all game-specific tricks... or maybe I just suck...
Having said that, I'll give BF2 demo a try tomorrow.

sidetwo · 06-14-2005, 06:40 AM

That's true Mika.. I was like that with Counterstrike: Source. It was fantastic the first month or so in, but after that everyone started using hacks and so on.

MikaRMD · 06-15-2005, 07:37 AM

Ok, fiddled with the BF2 demo yesterday a bit. Seems like a very fun game. Especially, if you are playing with smart players (how often does that happen in internet?). The Commander and Squad systems was very positive.
One of the bad things was that I still can't fly. Couldn't fly in BF1942, can't fly in BF2. I guess there is something in my genes that does not allow me to be a fly boy...

TruB · 06-15-2005, 03:31 PM

my clan who played Desertcombat (a bf942 mod), was one of the best clans in europe.. the best in sweden. have now moved to the bf2 scene..
most seem to like it.. there are some bugs and some fixes that need to be done but over all.. goodie.. we have joined www.eb2l.com awhile ago and might join the demo season..(i became a moderator at eb2l not long ago aswell) but many havent got there compute togheter for the demo so we are not sure how many that can actually play..

Squarejawhero · 06-23-2005, 06:30 AM

Well, BF2 is out. Anyone else taken the plunge yet?

sidetwo · 06-23-2005, 07:25 AM

It's on the ever growing list of games I'll buy when I get my new computer next year. Until then I'll probably play it at a local LAN center with a couple of my mates sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Squarejawhero · 06-23-2005, 10:43 AM

Well, look out for the Squarejawhero. Although something tells me that aint gonna happen, looking at your location.

Lunar Blue · 06-23-2005, 11:19 AM

It better show up in me mailbox tomorrow or... i just have to wait for monday

Squarejawhero · 06-23-2005, 11:26 AM

Mine's here already! Love gameplay.com for UK stuff - always a day early. Is there nothing like it where you are?

Lunar Blue · 06-23-2005, 12:07 PM

I just got an email from the place i pre-ordered it from. They have gotten so much orders they ran out so i'll get mine from the next weeks batch

For compensation i'll get a free DVD. I bet ten euros it's a shitty Clint Eastwood western

Squarejawhero · 06-23-2005, 01:14 PM

Still, free DVD? Can't be sniffed at. Unless it's Van Helsing, AVP, Resident Evil 2 or the latest Uwe Boll meisterwork. Then I'd suggest force feeding it to the person responsible.

Hiki · 06-23-2005, 09:58 PM

Dang it. A shop called Bulldog in tampere had sold out every copy of BF2. Ordered it too late damn it.. Well next week then. Just can't wait for it. BUT shame im going to Germany! How can i survive?

Hiki · 06-24-2005, 10:29 AM

Well found it from another store. So does it affect the account if I remove the demo? And can I and my father play it without any cd-key things?

Squarejawhero · 06-24-2005, 04:33 PM

No you can remove it, and as far as I know you have to only enter the CD key once. I don't know if you can use it on two machines though, as it registers you through a central server and does checks on your copy though punkbuster. Of course, I don't know, so it COULD work, but I wouldn't want to risk it.

That said you could probably do it through LAN, but would you want to for just two people? Even the 16 player maps are huge.

Hope that helps!

Uisor · 06-24-2005, 05:57 PM

I got my order in wednesday (from PlayerOne), but haven't yet installed it as I got a new comp then too and been playing with it (installing programs and such).

soraflair · 06-24-2005, 06:20 PM

Recently bought the game only 10 maps.

When My friends get it we are all going to forum a squad and do stupid things like rush into a artilery strike and see who lives!

Squarejawhero · 06-25-2005, 08:49 AM

I'm sure there'll be more to come. You'll find that the varying size of the maps and differing conquest gameplay adds a lot of flavour. Some of the maps are outsized monsters! There's so much flexibility within the game, that the small amount of maps and gamestyles doesn't matter, as you'll never notice.

The only major annoyance is the outright stupid menu system and server list. It's just plain terrible.

Zembla · 06-26-2005, 02:53 PM

What I wonder though:

If you run a single player game, it creates a server. If you join that server from local, can you play against the bots together? Such as in, having a local co-op against all the dumb bots? Or does it just create a server for show? Because I've got a strong suspicion the game's in essence just coded as an online game, and the bots are just 'thrown' in.

<Z>

Hiki · 06-27-2005, 08:52 PM

Yes, Battlefields are supposed to be online games. Bots are just that you can practice on them, see the maps with some action. Bots in 1942 were awful, just running targets, now, they are excellent. Best bot AI i've never seen. They heal you, come and use those ''shock-paddles'' to you as the other bots. Supports give you ammo and engineers repair your vehicle if it's damaged. They also say ''Thank you'' if you heal them and also spot enemies. Now their combat system is also better, when they run out of their main gun, they switch to pistol. And if you get too close to them they pick their knife (believe me, they are good with them). It's fantastic.

The co-op kind of works when you go and play single-player. Then your friends can join your ''server'' by the IP you have. Haven't tested but this i've heard.

Now, played the game and its the best what arcade online-gaming can give you. Its really fun and chaotic. Like today in that map.. what was it? Some urbanlike assault map with the american TV-station. My squad defended the outpost near the 3 MEC bases, and it was SO chaotic. Man, imagine 10 americans defending an outpost from rooftops and running around shooting everybody who comes there. Then a tank charging in and everybody shouting from mic ''TANK EAST!'' and then some anti-tank blows it. Next comes tons of infantry. Then when they are defeated from one direction they start breeding from another direction. And in the middle of all this madness a helicopter comes with it's missiles banging people in the air. Medics run across the bullets trying to revive anybody. Then some Iraq guy gets to our positions and starts shooting like crazy, kills two guys and gets killed. Grenades flying everywhere, both friendly and enemy. Then some guys rush the flag with a Vodnik but get blown up by C4 on the road. Man.. You guys just have to play it. And squad-based playing in that game is so cool. Like that defend what i described. Great game.

edifice · 06-28-2005, 01:45 AM

I've only played the demo, but it seems like a great game. However, you only experience the full fruits of the game when playing in a clan environment. You need people that can perform the roles that are supplied by the class-based system that the game offers, i.e. a decent commander. I'm sure that once playing in this kind of environment, the game is lots of fun. But for a random public blast, it seems a little unfulfilling.

*note: the above opinions are expressed regarding the demo and, the author notes, that when applied to the full game, are likely to be wrong*

gigapower · 06-28-2005, 05:21 AM

i've been playing the crap out of BF2, it really is a fantastic game. The other night more people were playing it then CS:S which is amazing, especially being that there were only about 3500 BF2 servers out there that night.

I am suffering the same thing as well and I can't just understand what really is so hard at it. If I put high sensitivity to aircraft my plane is like horny bee and goes up-down in my hands. When I put low sensitivity then I am like javelin that someone has thrown with no control to turn it to a some direction.

So, you pro pilots, tell me what the heck I must do to have as good control to aircraft as I have when using vehicles and normal FPS mode. Do you use a joystick god d***?

Ps. Does BF2 final vary a much from the BF2 Demo in that demo map? Or is it like so different game when playing the final?

I guess I'm having a bad moment now but.. what is DNF? My brains just can't recall that one atm.

[HP] · 06-28-2005, 07:08 AM

I'm looking forward to get my hand on this game!
I havent got the oportunity to play the demo, but judging by the screenshots, looks like a neat game

Squarejawhero · 06-28-2005, 04:24 PM

RE Helicopters, I use my Saitek P2500 and it's really quite precise. I'm not a great pilot, but the other day I was gunning for someone who was the hottest damn pilot I've ever seen, chinking and banking about the map like nobody's business and a freaking good shot too.

The levels are really varied. The one Gamespy b*tched about, the huge dam, is amazingly fun to play and very impressive. The larger maps are insanely fun in vehicles, and the smaller ones have enough nooks and crannies to sneak about in. Plus they all look different - I love the Chinese one with the small waterfall at the start.

DNF is Duke Nukem Forever, btw.

DS12 · 06-29-2005, 04:22 AM

I have been considering buying B2 for a while now, and my question is should I? I'm really torn, it looks to be the most inivative shooter in years, but then again I'm not the biggest shooter fan. I realise there is already a thread discussing B2, but this thread is to discuss did you buy it, why, why not and what features did you like/dislike.

Yup, I would like to know it too that what pros/cons it has. Should I buy it or not? So buddies who already own BF2, tell us!

Squarejawhero · 06-29-2005, 10:31 AM

Pro's - It looks great, it's well balanced, it favours teamwork heavily on each side, the weapons feel great (a first for the BF games), it sounds amazing, the ingame teamspeak works without lagging everyone to hell, it's the best online shooter there is right now. IMO. It's an incredible game.

Cons - To get the graphics looking really good, you need a hefty rig. Redefining the keys is a pain as it doesn't delete presets, you have to do it if you hit the same key and get a warning. The menu system and server browser are buggy, slow and unbelievably poor. It doesn't support native LCD resolution. Teamkilling doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Bunnyhopping occurs but doesn't matter as their aim gets shot to bits and it's easy to take them out.

edit - buy it.

Nice! What I have discovered from the demo version that I have played was... or should I say THE THING that caught my eye heavily was:

1) you can't hit a s**t from sensible distance (even when u are proned)
2) or the health is just so overmeasured
3) or the weapons are so inaccurate
4) or the bullets are rubber
5) or does my net settings suck?
6) or the servers lagged even though the ping was 30-50 for me
7) or ... I can't suck ... it just isn't possible when it comes to FPS games, I have played FPS games since: CS beta 2 mp, Quake1&2&3 mp's, HL1&2 DM's etc etc. And I just own, test me.

So.. can it be so hard to hit or even kill the enemies in BF2? Or is it improved in the full version.

I just got a feeling that it's useless to play without being in a vehicle when I played the BF2 demo, because I didn't get a kill even when I was in front of my enemy and pulled my trigger and gave full clip of bullets to the enemy. But no results, I just died. And when I was prone and single shot with my M4 the enemies.. I hit put again.. the enemy just didn't die at all after a clip of M4 bullets.

I just don't understand that ridicuolous clumsy feature in a wargame like that. Shouldn't the main thing "fighting in war" be the most welldone thing in that game?

Explain people...

Squarejawhero · 07-01-2005, 10:04 AM

I find it quite easy to score hits by using iron sights and setting my assault rifle to fire 1-shot rounds. Going prone or crouching also steadies you. I only go auto when close up and when I've got opportunity to empty a clip, unless I just headshot them asap with a couple of well-aimed bullets. The various guns also have some kind of different distancing, although I haven't worked it out.

Crouch/prone, use singleshot fire and take lead. If you hit, an X appears on your crosshair. And yes, enemies take quite a few rounds to kill, especially AT's and MG's since they have extended armor.

Taking lead (aiming a bit in front of your opponent's running direction) is something not many do since none of the games you described has ballistics. In fact, i have no knowledge of games other than Operation Flashpoint (which pwns too) and earlier BF's that have

Ouh... that cleared the case. That is familiar in quake when using rockets/grenades etc.

Medics run across the bullets trying to revive anybody. Then some Iraq guy gets to our positions and starts shooting like crazy, kills two guys and gets killed. Grenades flying everywhere, both friendly and enemy. Then some guys rush the flag with a Vodnik but get blown up by C4 on the road. Man.. You guys just have to play it. And squad-based playing in that game is so cool. Like that defend what i described. Great game.

edifice	Re: Battlefield 2 I've only played the demo, but it seems like a great game. However, you only experience the full fruits of the game when playing in a clan environment. You need people that can perform the roles that are supplied by the class-based system that the game offers, i.e. a decent commander. I'm sure that once playing in this kind of environment, the game is lots of fun. But for a random public blast, it seems a little unfulfilling. note: the above opinions are expressed regarding the demo and, the author notes, that when applied to the full game, are likely to be wrong

gigapower	Re: Battlefield 2 i've been playing the crap out of BF2, it really is a fantastic game. The other night more people were playing it then CS:S which is amazing, especially being that there were only about 3500 BF2 servers out there that night.

Couldn't fly in BF1942, can't fly in BF2. I guess there is something in my genes that does not allow me to be a fly boy... I am suffering the same thing as well and I can't just understand what really is so hard at it. If I put high sensitivity to aircraft my plane is like horny bee and goes up-down in my hands. When I put low sensitivity then I am like javelin that someone has thrown with no control to turn it to a some direction. So, you pro pilots, tell me what the heck I must do to have as good control to aircraft as I have when using vehicles and normal FPS mode. Do you use a joystick god d***? Ps. Does BF2 final vary a much from the BF2 Demo in that demo map? Or is it like so different game when playing the final? Waiting the masterpiece of art. In Remedy we trust.

Squarejawhero	Re: Battlefield 2 RE Helicopters, I use my Saitek P2500 and it's really quite precise. I'm not a great pilot, but the other day I was gunning for someone who was the hottest damn pilot I've ever seen, chinking and banking about the map like nobody's business and a freaking good shot too. The levels are really varied. The one Gamespy btched about, the huge dam, is amazingly fun to play and very impressive. The larger maps are insanely fun in vehicles, and the smaller ones have enough nooks and crannies to sneak about in. Plus they all look different - I love the Chinese one with the small waterfall at the start. DNF is Duke Nukem Forever, btw. Listen up you primitive apes! See this? This* is my boom stick!

DS12	Considering Battlefield2 I have been considering buying B2 for a while now, and my question is should I? I'm really torn, it looks to be the most inivative shooter in years, but then again I'm not the biggest shooter fan. I realise there is already a thread discussing B2, but this thread is to discuss did you buy it, why, why not and what features did you like/dislike.

Yup, I would like to know it too that what pros/cons it has. Should I buy it or not? So buddies who already own BF2, tell us! Waiting the masterpiece of art. In Remedy we trust.

Squarejawhero	Re: Battlefield 2 Pro's - It looks great, it's well balanced, it favours teamwork heavily on each side, the weapons feel great (a first for the BF games), it sounds amazing, the ingame teamspeak works without lagging everyone to hell, it's the best online shooter there is right now. IMO. It's an incredible game. Cons - To get the graphics looking really good, you need a hefty rig. Redefining the keys is a pain as it doesn't delete presets, you have to do it if you hit the same key and get a warning. The menu system and server browser are buggy, slow and unbelievably poor. It doesn't support native LCD resolution. Teamkilling doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Bunnyhopping occurs but doesn't matter as their aim gets shot to bits and it's easy to take them out. edit - buy it. Listen up you primitive apes! See this? This is my boom stick!

What I have discovered from the demo version that I have played was... or should I say THE THING that caught my eye heavily was: 1) you can't hit a s**t from sensible distance (even when u are proned) 2) or the health is just so overmeasured 3) or the weapons are so inaccurate 4) or the bullets are rubber 5) or does my net settings suck? 6) or the servers lagged even though the ping was 30-50 for me 7) or ... I can't suck ... it just isn't possible when it comes to FPS games, I have played FPS games since: CS beta 2 mp, Quake1&2&3 mp's, HL1&2 DM's etc etc. And I just own, test me. So.. can it be so hard to hit or even kill the enemies in BF2? Or is it improved in the full version. I just got a feeling that it's useless to play without being in a vehicle when I played the BF2 demo, because I didn't get a kill even when I was in front of my enemy and pulled my trigger and gave full clip of bullets to the enemy. But no results, I just died. And when I was prone and single shot with my M4 the enemies.. I hit put again.. the enemy just didn't die at all after a clip of M4 bullets. I just don't understand that ridicuolous clumsy feature in a wargame like that. Shouldn't the main thing "fighting in war" be the most welldone thing in that game? Explain people...
