Rant: a lot of people hate BF2 because they suck at it. There, I said it, and yes I feel better because of it. Now go cry more about how the games bugged and it crashes your flawless PC.
well according to the page its wroked for over 100k peeps..
so webpage>> you..
and it worked for me first try..
sounds like a PC issue not a game issue.. as there are always 100s of thousands of people playing at any given time it cant be that much of an issue...
Ive been playign BF2 since beta and never seen it or the PC crashes... the only time I eve saw it crash was when MY hardware was f00ked after a MB/Vid card replacement problem went away.

Just because you've never experienced the problems in the game doesn't mean they didn't exist. EA did a poor job with the original game and a horrible job on the poorly programmed patches. ("less then 3000 megabytes" BS, or "patching failed") Not to mention the server browser is the biggest piece of ****** I have ever used.
Good Concept and I had fun playing for a while but I will not lay down more cash for the money whores at EA. Maybe if they actually start caring about their customers instead of how much $ they can stuff in their hummers, I might consider them again. For now I am waiting on Quake Wars and TF 2/forever.

You're wasting your breath. The average 14 year old gamer thinks that if it works for him, then it your system, not the game. Deep down, he just doesn't want anyone raining on his parade.
Even BF2's "fixes" were bugged to hell. At first it ticked me off, but it became rather amusing the 4th or 5th time.
Well Im 35.. and I dont work for a game company but they feel the same way so i guess the devs and EA and DICE are all 14 as well huh..
People are so stuck on themselves they cant ever realize or admit hey the problem with the program crashing might be on my PC...
The program runs fine even on VISTA RC1... get your hardware straight and then try again.
.. there are NO show stopping bugs in BF2.. the majority of the issues are with other peoples systems and the server stats of people online prove that.
BF2 runs smooth as ice no crashes and no issues patching..
the ONLY issue I ran into 1 time was the red name on same team issue..
and anyone that lists WIKI for anything other than good entertaining reading while sitting on a crapper is just kidding themselves..
next time leave more room on your main partition for things to extract.
OR move your system temp file to another partition..
Well gee... if EA says the game is solid, then it must be so!
Let's try another version:
Same concept.
Lame. If you can dispute the patch history, I'm all ears. Otherwise, the Wiki link stands. It proves the point that the patch history for BF2 is attrocious. I don't care if I dug the facts out of a toilet. The issue is whether or not they're true, and in this case, they are.
BF2 has a poor stability reputation for a reason (even the major review sites took strong issue with its stability, and that's pretty rare). The gamers of the world don't just convene once a year and randomly select a game upon which to unleash their collective hate. BF2 earned all the attention it gets... good and bad.
- How many other games require you to delete a bunch of profile data deep within the file system just because you want to switch from a CRT to an LCD?
- Do they have EAX working with the Audigy 2 yet?
- Yeah, the server browser is usable now, but how freakin long did that take?
- Shall we get into the memory leaks introduced by several of the patches?
- Can go on and on and on........ so please... let's try to be honest with ourselves
.Come on guy... if you're 35, you should be able to see beyond your own insignificant little rig. Yes, not knowing how to maintain/setup a PC will contribute to problems, but the well-documented nature of BF2's problems go far beyond that. If you're not willing to recongize that, there's little point in this.

for every person whining it doesnt work there are 200 playing... the server stats show that..
everyone knows the vocal majority is actually a very small % of the people in the real world.. and happy players dont come on board to complain so all you hear is the vocal minority..
Server browser.. never had any issues but then again i dont filter.. I hit the first open lowest ping server that shows every time..
EAX works fine with my A2 ZS always has..
CRT-LCD? wtf are you talking about I've run it on both on same PC never had to change any files... (still runs better on the CRT though)
mem leaks... hell half the programs MS makes are huge mem leaks.. this is new for a computer app how?
get more ram if you dont have enough to keep up...
Vista uses (and sees) 4gigs+ with no issues.. buy more

So we should just STFU?
Enjoy the game, be glad it works for you, and dedicate a kill for us who can't play the game(either outright or due to frustration with bugs).

The thing that gets me it that DICE/EA are supposed to be dropping support for BF2 after 2142 comes out. Well this game is barely 1 years old and to me that is just lame. Plus on top of that 2141 looks to be no more then just a mod for BF2 yet they want full price for that game.
I had some fun with BF2 and I had a lot of frustrations with the servers dropping me after I connect from patch 1.3 on. I wanted to slam the monitor a few times from the never ending menu loading times; the enemies not always being red and various other issues the each new patch fixed and made more bugs for. I might try out the demo, but I will prolly be holding out for UT'07 (which Titan mode seemed to copy UT's ONS mode) or maybe Quake Wars.

Actually believe it or not there are a number of reasons I can't stand it and none of them have to do with my PC crashing.
1.) Seeing the enemy flagged as a friendly...visa/versa!
2.) Shooting a shoulder mounted rocket and watching it clip through an amored vehicle!
3.) Being unable to spawn on a captured point!
4.) No getting credit for kills and capture points!
...need I go on?
I will say this ... BF2 came the closest to being the best team based war game I have ever played...I really have a love hate relationship with the game. If I could just play the game without stupid crap happening everytime I login to a new server I would be a follower of the ever evil EA myself. My friend and I put in a few hours and have ranked rather nicely, I consider myself a decent player. If Quake Wars gets it right I will not waste my time with the BF series again.
For every one person who voices their frustration, there are 2 eleventybillion who are silent about it.
Wow... I never realized how easy it was to make a point when you're allowed to just pull stats right out of your ass! Thanks for the tip!
I see... so we're only allowed to complain about non-functioning features if CVSiN uses them. If he doesn't use them, they must not be important.
I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm talking about BATTLEFIELD 2. Not Microsoft.
If they release the game and say "it will run with X amount of RAM", then it should run with X amount of RAM. On that note, I have 2GB of RAM... way over the requirements. My problems have had nothing to do with memory, anyway. My problems are all related to well-documented hardware incompatibilities. Last time I was at BF2's support forums, there was a 200+ page thread on EAX alone.
Yeah, I'm a "minority". :roll:
Interestingly enough, I have had ZERO problems with every other game I play. But you're right... it's OBVIOUSLY my system! (<- free quote for you)
Yes, quite.
If your problems are related to known hardware incompatibilities you just proved my point..
fix your PC....
OMG you might be the dumbest retard that ever walked the earth. Please just sit there in front of your almighty computer that bends to your will as if, with a thought, you could control all signals through the computer. The nomination commitee will be by soon to deliver to you, personaly, your invitation to both the De De Deee awards and Darwin Awards. You truly are the next step in the evolutionary process.

"Boycott" indicates negativism towards the game. For some that could be related to "Workers Rights", "Environmental Practices", "Racism", etc, but for those of us discussing our issues with previous Battlefield game(s), it's about "Quality Issues" .
The premise of the whole thread is about not playing a certain game and certainly not buying a certain game. That's why people are posting the way they are.
HA! I will "boycott" the game because I am *STILL* addicted to BF2 and I can't afford to get a 2nd addiction! Seriously, way too much time has been logged on BF2 at this PC
I'm already with you.
If you buy BF2142 I'm sure it will be fun...until they release an expansion then the community will splinter into the haves and have-nots and the number of servers that you can actually play will get lopped in half...plus you'll have lots of nice new bugs. Next expansion/patch? rinse..repeat...
Too many other great games coming out. Quake Wars, Huxley, Team Fortress 2, UT 2007.... fvck Battlefield.
I stopped buying this series after the first iteration of BF2. There were bugs galore and they were out pimping the next expansion.
EA can keep their game and I will keep my money.
