Battlefield 2

[Maus]

Had my first wee go last night. There I was, thinking that since I'd gotten the hang of tanks and jeeps I'd try a helicopter.

I was upside-down before I was over the edge of the carrier, and thence to a speedy watery grave, with the comm ranting at me about not flying if you don't know how

Looking forward to trying it with you chaps though, maybe next weekend I'll be free at a UK-safe hour.

Well I for one can't wait until the full version comes out on the 24th.  If the demo's anything to go by, the potential for proper tactical play is huge - and it'll play just as well when having some mindless fun to unwind.

I'm slowly getting the hang of the helicopters.  I can takeoff, fly, and land (of a fashion), but actually shooting anything other than the ground is still beyond me for the moment.  I'd definitely recommend a joystick for the task.  The keyboard/mouse is just too fiddly, and makes it far too easy to over-correct.

Funniest moment for me on the server yesterday, was watching patiently in Commander mode as Oldie went in to cap a flag.  Then raining down an artillery barrage on his bonce when he was about halfway through.  Being called a git made it all worthwhile  :roflmao:

NB: don't try and sneak up on BlueBall to plant C4 on his tank when you're a foot soldier - you'll lose...

:devil:

twas fun indeed.

I think that to make the game play in a "dMw" style we might need to look at limiting the use of tanks/vehicles - early days yet and hard to say but although they are great fun they don't particulalrly lend themselves to Tactical BattleField (TBF) IMHO of course

I've plumped for 1600x1200 @ 60Hz with Max AF and No AA

Runs very nicely at that

I've settled on 1280*960 @ 85Hz with 4xAA and max AF - looks better that way

Sorry for disappearing from the server tonight. The demo locked up on me and it took about 5 mins to sort out my PC and then I couldn't be bothered rejoining.

Good games though and Hippy finally managed to C4 me in a tank

[Doris]

lol...  its great doing that... running up behind a tank and giving it to em! ... the c4 i mean  :blush:  ......   then run off and watch it blow..

It would be nice to have V.C (voice comms) in demo.... as you have to stop to type things


me = addicted to it  

EDIT: Spelling to excited to tell everyone so i just mashed all the keys at once

'bout TANGOing time!!  

I got my technique down now, so watch out you tank whores.  :ph34r:

US special ops all the way for me, the gun is immense! single shot heaven.

 I can fly the planes pretty good, loopy-de-loops and barrel roles are fun, just need to learn how to shoot and fly at the same time.

Ds good in a Helicopter, made a pin point landing in between buildings.

just need some others to be the other squad members, such as sniper and support and maybe a medic  :whistle:  

we'd be unstoppable.

[A Twig]

I'd be a great medic I reckon.

BlueBell: "Medic MEDIC!"
A Twig: "Coming!"
BB: "Doc me arm's gone!"
AT: "Fire with the other one then, I'm a busy man!"

I can see it now!

Disclaimer: My choosing BB for the patient in no way reflects his lack of ability to stay alive in any given FPS at any given time, no definitely doesn't, honest....

*sigh*  Finally got it working properly, even joined a server for a few games  



















Only required a complete re-install of windows :angry:  :angry:
