DEFCON

I still enjoy BF2 like a mofo, its just frustrating. Its teh first game where you have a decent chance of some good teamwork on a random pub.

While Im whining and moaning: You know what really grinds my gears? I'm not sure what they were smoking when they said they dolphin diving, insta prone-shoot was no longer possible. These past few days, quite literally 50% of my deaths can be attributed to someone instaproning and gunning me down. There was no discernable delay between when they went prone and when they started firing, you have no idea how frustrating it is to get the drop on someone only for them to teleport to the prone position with guns blazing. Also, has anyone noticed that Spec Ops seems to be really buggy? I can't play spec ops at 1600 x 1200 (the FPS nose dives), but I can play BF2 reg just fine at that res. Further, there seem to be a number of weird little glitches that always manifest themselves at the worst moment. Maybe its just my current irritation with the game that magnifies these issues that may have always been there, but its annoying none the less. Sorry guys for all the griping, I know, I know, you just gotta deal... Believe you me, Im adapting and overcoming, but I still need to vent frustrations from time to time.

I have 2 gigs of RAM and a 7800GTX, my processor is a 3000+ Venice Core AMD Athlon 64. Im thinking I am either: a) Not getting enough power from the PSU Things are overheating c) Mobo sucks d) EA is the devil

Ah man, Mac, shoot I should have gotten a hold of you this week, I was on break. Hmmm.... Up for some LANing in mid April? Anyways, yeah I guess I am just going to have learn to live with the bugs : ( I enjoy the gameplay too much to give it up entirely. I just spent 30 on Spec Ops (and Im hoping it wasnt a waste, so far, middle of the road experience). Its just so frustrating. Im hoping the move to a new SATA drive I have will fix some of the long load issues. Also, Im going to get a better mobo and OC at some point.

Sigh, I will do this when I wipe my HDD (scheduled maintaince) in a couple days, hopefully it works.

So I come home for break with my pimped out new system and monitor the size of a TV all ready to play some BF2 with yall, and what happens? The 1.2 patch has SNAFUBARED BF 2 just like the OTHER 2 DAMN PATCHES!!!!! What the HELL? I thought patches were supposed to FIX the game? Instead I frequently "lose my connection", crash out, freeze up, and I still sometimes take 5 minutes just to load a map. I am getting ****ing sick of this (look, its even making me swear! I rarely do that), I shelled out the bucks to play a perpetual beta. Dammit, DICE, I hate you guys so much. You have awesome game mechanics, but your coders suck giant donkey.... nevermind. Sigh, sorry guys, had to vent, I know there is nothing to be done about it.

brought a tear to my eye : )

So Im here for the week guys, and I fully intend to game the crap out of it. I finally have a nice monitor to go with my 7800GTX system that has been languishing unused in my dorm for months (sinful I know). Its a 20.1" Samsung SyncMaster 204B capable fof 1600 x 1200, and dear lord are my eyes bleeding : )

I don't understand women at all : (

Congratulations man. I wish I had your mental fortitude, best wishes in your future endeavours.

I "have" it, and Im very dissapointed. The game looks quite awesome, but the gameplay has been totally gutted. Its pure rushtastic action with no depth

So, I guess Im the only one that actually likes there parent's company and is greatfull for all they have done for me??? Last time I checked, kids SHOULD revolve around their parents schedule not the other way around...

Congrats! : )

its nice to see you using newer tech for once mac : P

Hey guys, Our school's gaming club is setting up a display at an activities fair tonight, and we would like to have a ton of gaming footage to show off how much fun PC gaming can be. Do any of you have good BF2 footage or raw demos I can Fraps? I would appreciate anything you all have, even links would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Shooting works for me. At the end of last year, my friends and I unloaded on my textbooks with shotguns, rifles, and an assault rifle.

ouch : ( At this point Im farely certain whoever said "Tis better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all" was full of crap. I hope you feel better man.

Hot, hot, hot. Its nice to have some official logos for once. Just out of curiosity, when is the swag coming? I definately plan to buy some

I have a question, do you kill still count towards the explosive badge if they were caused by jihad jeeping?

artillery is a fickle mistress : P

I def. plan on seeing it. Im reading the book its based on right now "Vengeance" by George Jonas. Fantastic read, Im really psyched for its general release

hells yes, I would pay that in a hear beat

I hope heaven is a lot like Mac's basement : )

: ( if you dont mind sharing, what happened TFD?

pssst... Red Orchestra for UTK4, possibly one of the finely crafted mods, nay gmaes, ever. The free mod is still around, but they are pimping out another version for retail. It won that big mod contest they had a cople years back. Check it out
