Dumb EA and their stupid BF2 patch

[Rudee]

I just picked up this game. Question: Can you get these unlocked weapons even if you don't play on Ranked servers?

dude, just fvcking cut and paste a gig of some misc files from your C drive, run the patch program, then move them back, that simple

I can't quite explain why, but when I filter the settings to show only Ranked Servers it doesn't show more than a few? Is there some kind of a Ranked Server update that I can apply to the game to display more ranked servers than what I'm currently seeing?

Icons over the flags and a favorites button. I can totally see why it took forever to develop this patch.

But I don't care at this point. I sodomized my BF2 disc a few weeks ago.

After you check the box for ranked servers you need to update the server list all over again. Once I did that, I usually get around 2800+ ranked servers showing with my search settings applied.

Ah ok, thanks for the tip.

How do the frame rates compare to the demo?
I'm playing the demo and I think it's cool.
although I only play offline.

Framerates should be fairly similar but I never played the demo so I can't say for sure. Your machine specs should be fine to play the full version without much problem (better than my specs and I play my game at fairly high settings at good framerate).

I would pass if you're only going to play offline. You only get 10 small 16 player maps for single player. The 64 and 32 player versions of the maps are only multiplayer.

i'm also pretty lucky i guess. game been running fine since the first release up to the newest patch. i updated all 3. no problems other than the friendly red dot that happened like 3-4 times. hasnt happened yet on this new patch.

anyone else get sooo many ranks and soooo many unlocks after the patch?

I had only got my first onluck, halfway through the next and when I started playing with this patch I got a rank after every point a few times. Now I have used two of the unlocks I have and have two left.... decisions decisions decisions

Yah, that rox out man. I was irritated that I was able to get to Lance Corporal quite quickly but it would take me weeks to get to Corporal since it was a huge jump to the next rank (it was something like 500, 1000, and then like 10,500 which is an insane jump to the next rank), but now I just jumped 2 more ranks too

I agree, it is teh r0xorz I had created a bunch of different login ID's / configurations just so I could get more unlocks faster and use the better weapons. Only problem was, if I wanted to switch to using a different unlock kit, I had to disconnect, log out, and log in as the other player who had that kit unlocked. Naturally they were all low rank players since I didn't have the patience or time to play up through the many ranks to get all the unlocks on one player profile. This is much better

The patch notes mention they fixed some "memory usage" issues for the "font end." Has anybody noticed if this has helped any stuttering or load times or anything for people who have < 2 Gigs RAM? Has anybody monitored their peak memory usage with the patch relative to pre 1.03? I have installed the patch but haven't had time to play it yet. Hopefully I have some time tonight after work.
