[Ultra]

i need some input on the best vid card need for the lowest price that will run the game in med. settings, i can get a 7300 gs geforce for $69.. but dont know if it will be enough

From what I've heard the graphics are about the same as BF2 so if you can run that you can run 2142.

I'm using a GeForce 6800, and I didn't any problems with the graphics when I played the demo.

DMIC and WasteOSkin got it. I'm gonna wait for a bit to decide if I'll pick it up.

For anyone that does play this, I suggest adding a few lines to your HOSTS file.

127.0.0.1 madserver.net
127.0.0.1 ad.madserver.net
127.0.0.1 imp.madserver.net
127.0.0.1 media.madserver.net

This will disable EA & IGA's dynamic recording of all players' glancing at advertisements while playing a game paid for at full price. It may also turn off the ads in game, leaving blank billboards (or random ads that have already slipped into your PC), I dunno.

Good info Den... I was going to post that... I was only going to pick this game up if you could disable it.

Den is the shiznit of knowledge.. what i wanted to say is he is "the shit", but didnt know if he would have been offended by the word shit, but being "the" shit plays a bit differently.. im rambling, so i will just flame out.. late

I'm from the internet, I cannot be offended.
While on topic, you can add in your own images to go on the billboards.

1: Have GIMP or Photoshop. Go to nVidia's website and download their Photoshop/GIMP .dds plugin pack.
2: Download http://micolous.id.au/projects/bf2142/ (Ad Cache editor 0.1.1).
3: Backup your directory as it instructs you to, and then use the program to open the database (My Documents\BF2142\icontent.cache
4: Export all of those pictures (named 194-199) and then open them with GIMP/Photoshop.
5: Edit the pictures *directly* and then either save over them or save them in a different location - don't mess with the settings, just keep it as it is or else it will mess up. Make sure the picture is flat (one layer) so it doesn't try to save it as a different format.
6: Using the same program you extracted with, import the NEW pictures with the corresponding filenames. That is, import your new #194 over the old #194. Do this for each picture.
7: ????
8: Profit!
