BM08

Not me but i play the newest offering 2142 and i love it, best game ive played in years, ive had it since it came out about 6-7 months ago

Yeah it is hard to stay alive when you first start off but when you get better in time then you last alot longer

BF, is that like what age of empires was and Rome: Total War?

An army style game where you build an army then go attack your enemy?

BM08

you dont know what Battlefield is? its only the most popular pc game EVER
Check these vids out, quicker and easier than me explaining
BF2

BF 2142(the newest and one with best graphics)

as you can probably see 2142 is much more into the currant day(and beyond) in terms of vehicles and weapons

ohh yeah I remember now lol.

I seriously need new PC games though, still looking for decent racers or FPS

Eagle

can't decide if its worth spending out on 2142 yet .. might just have to play on this for a while to get some skills in
as for flying them helicopters must be my oversensative trackball as its not easy ... manged to fly a plane earlier ... straight into a big mountain .. worst bit is i should know how to fly

DanRSturbo

It took me ages to get the hang of flying chopper's, practise does really make perfect on that, not tried a plane yet, I ain't no Maverick yet

BM08

Took me a while to get used to heli's/battle choper in 2142 aswell, at first i was scared and didnt use them because i knew i end up stacking it or blowing up somehow but now im pretty good and even though im good on 2142 if i go to BF2 i find them hard to control its just getting used to them

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

keep getting people complaining about not being able to fly gotta learn somehow better gunner than pilot

BM08

Eagle i dont know how BF2 works but on 2142 you can create your own server to practice on

Alex_86

iTrader: (2)

hehe i have them both! play bf2 now and then! 2142 my brother plays when hi is over!

what server do you play on?

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

hve been flying around whilst waiting for people to come online so getting better... slowly still suffering with severe killings starting to think if its worth the hassle now... keep throwing purple hearts at me had 4 now

Alex_86

iTrader: (2)

give me the server name and i will join

DanRSturbo

I've only ever had 1 purple heart in a round, i honestly thought it was a axheivement at first

BM08

whats a purple heart? i havent played BF2 online before, just 2142 and that doesnt have any purple hearts

BM08

Any of the uk ones basically(2142)

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

i have been hanging around on spec-ops
bloody hard to stay alive though

FastFordChris

anyone playing tonight?

Eagle get yourself a joystick much easier to fly with those, barrell rolls are piss
it does take a while to get the hang of it though but once you do, let the owning begin.

ps: i must have knochted up about a million purple hearts (purle owns ) by now.

DanRSturbo

I won't be on tonight, round the bint's for some poker and a chinky, but will be tomorrow

Alex_86

iTrader: (2)

i could play tomorrow if anyone up to it?

SS1

iTrader: (3)

havent played bf2 in moons AWESOME GAME ...

Alex_86

iTrader: (2)

i play on a old key board
we should fin a day all on here to join the same server

SS1

iTrader: (3)

yeah im game for that .there was problems with the game via blue red team tag names ..ie shooting your own team

and as i played lonewolf most of the time ..i shot every fucker i could see and then got booted for team kills

i got the hang of flying the choppers but the jets are fast as fuck..death dealers...

think its the best game ive EVER PLAYED ONLINE

on a 24inch dell flat screen with 5.1 head phones ZALMAN

http://www.xoxide.com/za51suulgahe.html

driving the tank down the main street was STUNNING

you need a 5.1 sound card to make them work ...but the Surround Sound via headphones is

TBH i spent a awefull lot of money on the pc to get the specs i wanted for the game

2 gig of ram is a must ..i the rest that i spent ..but not wasted money ..

QUALITY gamer money

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

looks like more memory next then .. 1gig is working but it does stutter some times...

tried the jets .. omg .. crash ... crash... erm crashed again

FastFordChris

i'd be up for a pf game. (your all dead if i get in a j10 )

avid fans right about needing surround sound is a must, as it helps pin point snipers and hearing where tanks/cars are comming from.


has anyone played the armored fury add on? i just wonna get it to fly the mini bird and drive the muscle car

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

ok .. been looking at getting some more memory
problem now looks like asus boards are very opinionated about the ddr they use
currently running 2 X 512 sticks cheapy from novatech http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...tml?RAM-40/512
as its just down the road ... easy rma's

but have been looking at http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...html?RAM-401GH

currently have a p4p800s-e on xp pro and a p5p800 on vista ultimate..

now do i run bf2 on the vista machine and get 2 gig of ram .. or get 1 meg and put it into the xp one...

such decisions

BM08

yep 2gig of ram is a must for BF2 or 2142 online, especially if you want half decent graphics

Eagle use the machine thats fastest

FastFordChris

i've herd that bf2 doesn't work well on vista?

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

shush ... don't tell me that thats the faster one ...

edit to say .. just used google to death and found it does ... phheewwwww so might go and get 4 gig of ram now

FastFordChris

install it and try it before you go upgrading just to see if it works ok.

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

need to increase this one to 2 gig as its sooooo slow at processing video files so might just bung it in the newer one see what happens
will have a go at installing it tomorrow and see if it tells me to go home

BM08

go onto youtube and search for "battlefield 2142 vista" or words to that effect, should come up with users who posted videos of 2142 running on vista oh yeah i forgot your talking about BF2 do the same except add "bf2"

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

take it 2142 works then

DanRSturbo

I couldn't get BF2 to work on vista for love nor money
