The demo is scheduled for a release this Friday I heard!

 

The demo will come with 1 single player map and 1 multiplayer map.

 

As you may or may not know the Bf2 maps adjust in size and amount of vehicles for certian amount of players. The Bf2 demo will come with both a 16 player and 32 player varient of the multiplayer map.

 

Have you guys read the recomended bf2 system specs? there pretty dam high cry.gif good thing I updated my pc recently.

 

@Wolf68k - the game ships on June the 21st but is not released till June the 24th.

This looks great, Special Ops and stuff, but 124 people on a sever?? Think of the Lag!!!

 

Anyway I hope that this excells my expectations, I have BF:'42, 'Nam, 'Nam Redux(Thought it was expation) and I hope this is great as well. Can't wait.

Is it Gamespot exclusive or will it be available everywhere, like Fileplanet for instance?

I was one of the first people to download the demo and was getting it at 400kb per second and the file went corrupt at 301mb. Then all the basic servers became full, so I just bought a monthly subscription to get the thing. I suspect consipiracy to get people to buy a subscription.

Well I just got home and started downloading. I got a steady rate of 117 KB/Sec which is pretty good considering it's the only server not full.

i've played the demo for past... 4 hours or so.

and its f*cking awesome!

 

the game ran very smoothly, no problems at all. both graphically and lag-wise, it was very very smooth. i've had a few problems at the beginning, like getting lost everywhere. the map is pretty big and detailed, but a lot like original bf1942 maps in terms of layout.

 

the whole commander/squad thing was nice, it felt kinda good to run around with your squad together, but MOST of the time i was on my own and doing my own thing. once, some idiot who was a commander at that time, sent an artillery strike on our ass, killing like 4 people.

 

another problem is that its pretty hard to distinguish between friend and foe. the vehicles are very nice, improvement from the old bf1942 because there are now more vehicles, and they have splash damage. if you stand next to a tank when it shoots... well, your screen goes blurry for a few seconds. the new classes are kickass though. most of the time i played as spec ops, because i liked the little-recoil SMG gun and mostly it was for the C4. hell, by throwing loads of c4 i've blown up a buttload of tank, occasionally blew up myself as well.

 

spawn camping was a bit of a problem, i've got loads of kills/got killed many times by a tank/apc at the spawn point... but i've also layed out some C4 and waited for a spawn.. killing everyone once they did spawn wink.gif

 

the demo doesnt have stats - something i was looking for.

Attention loyal FilePlanet users, this is a public service announcement for many of you wondering why we have not hosted the Battlefield 2 Demo. EA Games has contacted us and asked us not to host it for a duration of time, and in respecting their wishes we haven't hosted it. We understand that many of you are having difficulties getting the Demo, and we're sorry that we cannot help you at this time. The best place to look currently would be EA's website.

I pay my subscribers fees every month for Fileplanet and I'm stuck on a download.com server. GG nubs.

Time to buy some f*cking RAM.

 

 

Taxman molests his poor, overworked 256MB

 

Seriously, this thing lags during BF:V, no way I can handle that.

One of the heads of my COD:UO clan has a GameSpot account and downloaded then put it on the clan FTP and most of us got it that way, and even with a number of getting it 300-400k/sec was no problem.

 

As for the performance of the game. My full specs can be found via a link in my sig.

 

Basic Specs Game Video Settings
AMD XP 1800+ 1.53Ghz

FX 5700LE 256MB

1GB DDR266

[email protected]

Everything low

And ever though everything was set lo the graphics still looked amazing and the game was smooth even on servers with a lot of people. I'm going to check to see if the same old fps console command still works and see what my framerate is then slowly increase the settings to see what happens.

 

The kits are amazing as well even though I haven't got a chance to play with everything.

BF:V was made so that people have to work together, well in BF2 you reall have to learn to work together. If you're a medic and someone calls for help, don't be a jackhole and keep running off actling Rambo, go bak and help the guy. If you're crticly wounded you have to be revided, not just a simple health kit can save you the medic has to pull out shock paddles (yes you read that right...."CLEAR!" *zap with the jump start*).

Locking on the targets with missles will usually get you a kill or seriously light the sucker up. The helo's TV guided missles takes a little getting use to but very deadly.

Sniper gilly suit, find the right spot and you're a ghost...only the sound of your shots give you away (well duh).

 

The controls and functions take some getting use to. More realism as well. Getting into a helo in BF42 (well the mods) or in BFV, 1/2sec after you've gotten in at the controls you can be in the air. BF2, nope everything has to get up to speed before you can take off. The planes are the same way. I haven't had a chance to try taking off from the carrier though...it would be nice if they figured out a way to make the cats ont eh carrier work.

 

Radio calls in BF2 are like something I've seen in a few other games. Hit the Q key (in BF2 the 3D map is automaticly on) and move your mouse to find the item you want to call and then just left-click.

 

If part of EA's goal with this game was to get people to buy a Zboard and the BF2 Zboard to go with it, I think they succeded. Something tells me this game would be much better with a Zboard where you can just look down for a second the quickly see what key to press to do what you need to do whatever.

 

 

If you haven't read the IGN BF2 FAQ link I posted above, do it now. The minimum specs on there are very real. A member of my clan with a GF4 Ti (I forget which one he said but it was up there) couldn't get the game to run at all. The minimum requirment for nVidia fans is a FX 5700 series, and I'm at the bottom of the barrel with a 5700LE.

I've played for another 3 hours on some large servers with 64 players.

Tanks are the main force on that map, the helis and planes are just for fun... tanks are the real deal tounge.gif

 

I disagree on the teamwork a bit - most of the time i just jack a tank and go for the flag. sometimes i go where the commander tells me to, but most of the time he's pointing at the flag as well.

I got the demo around 5 hours ago. Bud on my DC clan got it from GameStop at almost 2000kb/s and uploaded it to the clan FTP.

 

Amazing. I'm real low on system specs and I only had lag in heavy HEAVY fire fights. There is a bit of trouble distinguishing friend from foe, theres a tag delay. And the demo is gay in a way, the damn time limit. That pisses me off the most is the time limit.

 

It's worth the wait, guys. Download it NOW.

Its pretty much like Delta Force Black Hawk Down, You earn your points, earn your rank etc, and its rather hard to see whos friendly and whos not.

God damn that demo is good, shame about the round time limits...

 

The allied F35 is the mother of all planes, if your in a dog fight you can usually out turn your opponent, if this fails you can hover and kill him. I love how versatile the plane is. Shame I have to fly with keyboard and mouse or I'd be even better.

 

The infantry combats really good too, however I'm yet to find a server that doesn't have slight lag

 

I run everything on medium with high textures and 80% draw distance at 1024 x 768 75 hz and except from occasional lag and slowing down of frame rate it runs good.

 

Does anyone else thinkt he water looks awesome? it reflects the sunlight and when you hover over it in the F35 the water ripples out from the jet exhaust!

 

Bf2 > Bf1942
