*gta star* Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Yeah, there are rules enforced on the server. So atleast you get a chance to get off the carrier. The rule being, you are only allowed as far as the artillery island (the island near the carrier, in the middle of the map). You are only allowed near the carrier if you are chasing someone, but it's best not to fly directly over it, just let the other plane fly over the carrier, and you weave around the front of it.

Â I spend the last Two weeks flying Jets and planes on BF 1942 and Battlefeild VietNam and i have been getting flying down almost perfectly, then I had a few good runs on the bots on BF2 on singleplayer, I join a ranked server and get shot down 3 times in a row + the missiles seem to miss helicopters in front of me then I ram on accident my teams Helicopter resulting in a score of -12 or something like that, isn't war hell?

Please Help me 512 Ram P4 ~ 2.8 Poor Nvidia I'm afraid to say, you probably won't be able to play it with those specs, although the minimum specs would say so in reality it's probably a no go, as BF2 is a power hungry SOB, and if you do manage to get it working then you'll be on very very low specs. It's usually needs at least 1Gb of RAM, 2Gb preffered.  @Otter: You don't necessarily use xfire to access the game, it's only if you're 'following' somebody into the game, for example if I was playing on a server and my xfire was on, you'd click on my name and it would show what server I was playing, you'd just simply click on the server IP address of the server, then xfire will prompt you for your Player ID and password for BF2 and it will then load it up for you. I could then do the same to you, if you had xfire running and you found a server and was playing, I could then click on your name in xfire and it would show the server you were on then I'd just click the server IP and join in. But you don't really use xfire to find a server, you'd do this in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouveia Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Ok, so, my pc is in the minimun specs, but it doesn't runs the game? WTF? Anyway, of course it will run in a Duo-core 3.6 with a Nvidia 7600 and 2GB + ram.... Right? And do 2142 run on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crokey Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I don't know what EA were on when they decided those were the minimum specs they're just a little too neat in my opinion. BF2 is a resource hungry little <bleep>, but the other machine specs you listed shouldn't be a problem, you'll be fine with those for both BF2 and BF2142. Although you'll get bored with BF2142 quickly and go back to BF2 in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gta star* Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Â I spend the last Two weeks flying Jets and planes on BF 1942 and Battlefeild VietNam and i have been getting flying down almost perfectly, then I had a few good runs on the bots on BF2 on singleplayer, I join a ranked server and get shot down 3 times in a row + the missiles seem to miss helicopters in front of me then I ram on accident my teams Helicopter resulting in a score of -12 or something like that, isn't war hell?

Â It's probably because you are not timing your missiles correctly, basically, a good tactic is to fly after a chopper (obviously reduce throttle, otherwise you will fly past it). They will get the annoying lock on sound, the pilot will release his flares, when he/she does this, your missile will automatically follow the flares, as flares are missile countermeasures. It takes a while for flares to load, so then's your chance to shoot your missiles, and bullets too. Sounds alot, but when you get it right, you could have a chopper blown to bits in a matter of seconds. Â Oh, and when I say 'reduce throttle', don't reduce it fully, otherwise you will stall the engine. Â Â Nice to see this topic becoming active again.

Parky.

*gta star* Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nice one TOC, looking forward to some of your creative ideas. Â Wake Island owns, it's the main map for my clan, so I'm well used to it by now lol. I love it though, you can get from one side of the map to the other really quickly, whereas maps like 'Highway Tampa' would take you ages !

Vanzant Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nice tips GTA STAR. Â Got some good clean kills with the J10 the other night on my buddys server, the issue with taking choppers out is more of a low draw distance problem more than timing though as mines on low to keep me from lagging too much. I have actually found it easier to calculate thier apprach and bomb them in mid-air rather than using the missiles. Â @TOC, I had about Five team mates wasting our time waiting on a plane on one server so me and my friend Mike went to the other team and I flew over and relived them of thier plane waiting dutys.
