Solo Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 While we're discussing it, can anyone figure out a way to unbind the numpad keys either in or out of game? I've tried the old BF commands in the console without success, and removing the numpad values from common.com seems to be unsuccessful either. I wouldn't ask but I'm left handed, and so use the numpad for directional keys, etc.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its been done mate. Dont where exactly, but searching you should find here http://www.forumplanet.com/planetbattlefie...um.asp?fid=7419 Link to post Share on other sites
enzo100 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I used that hack or whatever to get the new weapon set. I love them The revolving launcher is really cool, as is the G36...and L85 Link to post Share on other sites
Kukailimoku Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Here are some screenies of the weaps. The G36c is my favorite, next to the PKM and L85A1 (but I never play support or medic ). Also, look at this: DICE could've at least asked someone who knew how to hold a gun. If you can't see, he's holding his left hand underneath the gun, with the mag seated on his palm. That little lump there is his thumb. Link to post Share on other sites
Shoot&Loot Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 The game is unrealistic... but otherwise feels like Joint ops + Desert Combat. Anyways I own in a well made russian aircraft (BOMB BOMB BOMB!). Too many retards playing too, if someone wants to start and airsoft server or designate someone server for us to plunder. There welcome to. Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi2155 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Its a shame anti aliasing doesnt work in the demo, really lets down the visuals. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Check your video card drivers. They are probably the culprit. What card do you have? I have a 9700 pro and running Omega catalyst 5.2's. Link to post Share on other sites
Shoot&Loot Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Ya i have a 9800 pro, and i can everything (ex the lighting) on high with a high res. Has anyone heard a rumor about the new ATI drivers optimizing pixel shadders? Is anyone getting better fps with these drivers? Link to post Share on other sites

Shoot&Loot Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Have you ever fired a real one like that? Its not good. Link to post Share on other sites
Holmes Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 A real one? No, just airsoft. Makes for a bit faster reloading time, and I am just more comfortable with it. Link to post Share on other sites
dirty mao Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 ######. i can't play this demo for some stupid reason. it'll boot up, give me the EA and dice business and all that, then it'll go to the SP or MP screen, and nothing happens when i click on either. then messages start popping up saying my display has changed to software rendering or some such poppycock. and it'll say that like six times. sometimes i'll get past the selection screeen, then the screen goes black with the little "2" cursor for a while, presumably loading. then the cursor and music stop, and i think it's suposed to be in game, but i just see a black screen. my GFX card is an ATI 9250. any help?

Jedi2155 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Is your graphics card PCI? If so that is your problem. The 9250 is a prett weak card hampered by a even weaker interface. I don't think battlefield 2 has support for PCI-Video cards (i've heard a few complaints). ATI has optimized pixel shaders for a few % performance, but nothing TOO big (except in doom 3) Link to post Share on other sites
Chris P Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I played it for a good few hours last night. Got my self into a squad that new what they were doing all with voice comms and I was instantly hooked. Calling in for orders requesting supplies and artilery support. I shall be getting it as soon as it comes out Link to post Share on other sites

dirty mao Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 i believe it's a PCI card. why the hell would EA make a game not compatable with PCI cards? it doesn't make any sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites
visionviper Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Does to me. PCI graphics cards are, pretty much, outdated technology. This is due to the slow bush speeds. Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Cheers solo, your link helped me fix enough of my controls to get it working. Hrm, well, I've been playing it more, and it's grown on me a great deal. Even on a two year old graphics card the game runs very smoothly in medium setting (with high sound - my graphics card is a little newer, thankfully..). The squad system works incredibly well when used responsibly. I've just finished a 2 hour game with Ubar, Eddie182 and Swifty, and when we worked together as a team the game was excellent. It was effectively a more accessible AAO. I reprised my role as a medic, Ubar went Anti-tank, Eddie Gunner (I think) and Swifty Gunner/Sniper. The resulting mix of classes complemented each other very well, and by working together (And the constant reviving of downed comrades) we seemed to do quite well! It's definitely going to be worth the price tag for anyone who's system is 2 years old or under. I suspect because it runs so smoothly that I may wait until the end of the year and buy the core parts of a new system, but it's so playable in its current form on my current pc that I think I I don't need to rush to upgrade.

HaVoC Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Don't get confused with PCI Express, guys, which is taking over as the new standard, over the aging AGP format. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Was about to say that. I'm torn atm, as my Comp has great specs apart from the Video card... When is the next generation of ATi cards coming out? Hopefully the x800XTPE will be less expensive then. Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 its great, but on my geforce 5200 its like a slide show even on low settings. whats the recommended geforce card to get [i'm not considering an ati] thats also not too expensive? btw, i love ofp and did love aa whilst i was into it. but this looks like good atmospheric fun - a bit like full spectrum warrior in that respect without the inane ai and ###### gameplay.. dammit. when will they ever learn? 'headshots the only sure stopper, sport!' - do we all wear invisible level 3 ballistic helmets? Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi2155 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Ok ok, lemme just post a few of EA's required and recommended specifications.... Graphics Cards - REQUIRED Geforce FX 5700 or up, ATI Radeon 8500 or up. You can run this game on lower end Fx's, but like oik oik said...it'll play like a slide show. At the moment, the geforce 4 series is not supported whatsoever (Including the Ti line as the game requires Pixel shader 1.4 or higher support). As for recommended cards...I know US Prices. Good AGP card would be the ATI X800 XT All-in-Wonder for only $300 @ Dell's Small Buisness Section (This is about $200 off MSRP). Followed by a EVGA 6800 GT for $300 @ Amazon.com The Geforce 6800 Non-Ultra can be had for only $190 @ Newegg.com which I think is better than the 6600 GT (Although You can get that for as little as $145). If you're really in a strain, get a ATI 9600 Pro which can be had for only $70 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...1337275&CatId=0 So yep. Thats my list of recommended cards.

oikoik Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 yeah, most places i search, if youre on a budget [me!] and want to go the nvidia route [who ea games seem to support] then the 6600GT [specifically, the GT - i think the normal 6600 is 64bit whereas the GT is 128bit and makes a big difference] is the way to go. i'll be going that route unless i get flush and can afford a 6800...

dirty mao Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 i have the same specs as darklite, aside from my ATI 9250 with 256 memory. if the final product doesn't support my business, i'll be angry, and may or may not write an email expressing my emotions to EA.

Shoot&Loot Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Dark, you need a new card bro. Yours does not support pixel shader 1.4, if anyone has a Gforce4 it wont run on that either. EDIT: I forund a fix you guys should try. http://www.forumplanet.com/planetbattlefie...tid=1669738&p=1 EDIT: Wait no, looks like when it tries to optimise shaders when loading a map it crashes. The tread is long maybe theres a real fix in there somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
