i can not get the multi-player option to work. no internet play for me. will not allow me to log in

[Undead_Mercenary]

Well, I know it will be availible from Fileplanet starting at 1:00 PM. Either site will make me wait, so it doesnt matter which I chose.

[BadAsh]

mid use your gamespy login and pass...I haad the same problems for a bit till I figured out which info they wanted

[Undead_Mercenary]

Nvm, getting it off one of Arch's links. 300kb/sec... not bad at all.

Once you get all your controls for each thing set up right and other various settings, the game is alot of fun.

It's a good idea to take your time in the beginning to get everything just the way you like it.

Solid mutiplayer title. Can't wait for a PHX festival on this bad boy

[midnightservice]

well i got my login to work finally. can not and i repeat can not fly a plane cause i suck at it. but yeah after phx match tonight i will be living it up on BF2 all night so i suggest we load up a server and have some phx killing spree's

[DragonReborn]

I`ll be there!! I gots my bells on

[Undead_Mercenary]

I as well. Still getting used to it (and messing around with the video card settings. Note to self : nothing over medium!), but I will be there.

Quick question : has anybody try playing the demo while on Ventrilo? Because I was, and right before I entered a server, my mic screwed up (said there was too much sound feedback or overload or something like that). I'm guessing because both programs use voice chat, so I'm hoping that by disabling it in BF2, my mic wont crap out on me.

this is what EA has to say about the recent server admins that hacked EA games BF2 demo.

Server De-listing Update
EA and DICE both fully support server-side modding in the sense that we have intentionally exposed a good deal of Python functionality to the end-user, primarily to encourage modders to tweak game types and scoring (on UNRANKED servers) once the full game is available. That said, we have come to discover that two items that were not a part of the demo feature-set were hacked in the Battlefield 2 demo. We consider both of these changes in violation of the Tools EULA that each server operator accepted in installing the server software.

The demo's feature set included a 12-minute time limit on rounds and excluded access to the weapon unlocks. Because some server operators have hacked the time limit out of their servers or hacked access to the unlocks, we have been forced to reinforce our intended feature set by delisting the offending servers. All violations of the EULA as described above will result in a 1-week ban/delisting.

The activities of the obviously active hacking community reinforce our decision to not release the Ranked server publicly with the final product. Our desire is to be able to offer an exploit-free place to play where players can legitimately gain ranks, and collect awards and unlocks. The only way we can offer such a service and protect the Ranked server content is by hosting the ranked servers directly and through trusted partners. The Unranked server tools will be released to the community so that they may host their own BF2 servers, mods, etc.

RE: Sniper's post.....

Way to go dumbfucks! There are always some idiots out there than try doing more than they know they should thinking "What are they gonna do about it?" only to have it screw the entire community over.....Oh well, they weren't really going to provide server owners with the Ranked Server binaries out the door in the first place.

Re: In general....

Finally fired this bad boy up for about 10 mins last night.....oh baby! I am impressed so far. Bunch of fun. I'll be playing this mofo tonight to really get a feel of how bad I'm gonna be. Won't matter as long as I can swear at all you guys again.
