I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

'twas my first time ever playing BF, and :woot2: I couldn't stop!
Don't know what all the keys are doing yet, but boy this is addictive. I guess I've missed a lot by not joining the BF2 fest...
 
:doh:
 
PS
1. How do you pick up/use package that are parachuted? or that are on the ground?
2. How do you find and use grenades?

Played the demo with the OBC-lads at the LAN, seemed really cool and especially the Mechs! Hoovertanks aswell.
 
@ Le Rouge (did you play BF2 or BF2142???): I think you mean the supplycrates dropping from the sky?
If you stand next to them and your short on ammo, they automaticly get full again (takes a few seconds and you hear a clicking sound). Also the small resupply packages do the same.
You can select the grenades through 1-5 keys depending on your kit. I don't think BF2142 has grenades though (I only played that 15 minutes and was playing with the big guns).

I mean 2142. I think it resembles UT2004, if anyone played it, especially the "nods" game play.
 
I never took the time to play BF2 (ashamed of that), as I thought it won't run on my machine. Anyhow, I got that supply thing, thanks. I still have some problems to understand:
1. How do you speak to team mates? (besides the 'q' option)
2. How do you choose to which team you belong? (they put me once in this "eastern" front and all I could hear was russian, which I am not fluent at...

1)Taking to your teamm8s, I think that would be v or b. One of them is to talk as SquadLeader to your Commander and the other one is to your teamm8s and Squadleader. Do make sure you're actually in a team then btw! (Press enter and join a squad).
 
2)In your optionsmenu you can select your language as in speaking language English only. Have a look around the options...

Not sure what happend here but:
You need an extra file Blunt. A file called d3dx9. Bison had it at the LAN and if I didn't install that it wouldn't work.
I'll be on MSN this evening shortly so you might want to catch me there so I can send you the file.

@Duvel: I'll rephrase the question for a correct one (still learning...):
how do I choose which FACTION to join?
 
@Blunt: had the same problem; I DLed te latest (very recent) DX9 package. Anyhow, glad it worked for you, and now, on which server do we meet?
