Should I buy BF2?

[AMDZen]

I say no. Play counter strike source instead, much better

 

[rh71]

UT99 for the win.

 

[watek]

no way! source

I'd say Yes. I enjoy it.

And I like the ranked servers. From what I've noticed, it keeps most of the morons away.

Granted, the server browser is a bit behind, but the gameplay is awesome.

I'm not sure how you could do this in any game? Unless you hit a shift or a ctrl first, how would the game no what you wanted it to do if you had two actions mapped to one key? BF2 lets you map keys based on the vehicle you are in so you can set different controls for the jets or the helicopters or the tanks. This has been enough for me.

I forgot about that part. I hated always getting the server full message due to the server refresh lag. Did they ever fix that ping bug? I would see awesome pings and then join the game only to find myself and everyone else hitting insanely high pings.

You know, you could have bought me a PS2 mouse/kb adapter for my Xbox! I like this option better!

I have switched my schedule around to have *some* free time but want to buy something "great," and can't think of anything besides BF2.

Let's not talk about unfortunate events and games here people (RED FACTION 2 a good deal # $10 my ass:|)

Anyways, what are my options besides:

-Chronicles of Riddick (already have it)
-FarCry (already have it)
-HL2 (already have it)

I bought BF2 it's horrible, buggy, can't even join the servers it is so slow. Returned that piece of sh!t for doom3 resurrection of evil and C&C generals deluxe pack . Satisfied since

No. It sucks.

Would you guys agree that BF2 was the biggest let-down of a game of 2004 and 2005?

no, Killer 7 was. It was announced and then delayed a couple times. The art style looks awesome but the gameplayed turned out to suck

BF2 is ownage. get it

but it eats RAM like the stuff just grows on trees! O_O

 

[duragezic]

I was in a grudge match with BF2 and Guild Wars and I'm totally happy that I bought Guild Wars. Side-by-side, clearly GW is more polished and not rushed. Everything works well, it's pretty impressive how well it runs and looks in fact, for being a total of 3 files.

Hopefully My system can handle it

 

[DanTMWTMP]

i love the game, but damn it's a resource hog. my rigt (below) can barely handle it. I have to put everything to minimal settings to actually aim properly w/o fps jumps lol

 

[rmrf]

I would get bf:v instead

I <3 bf:v

BF2 murders BFV

 

[Yossarian]

if you've waited this long you may as well wait until september when the "big patch" comes out.

 

[Cheezeit]

Bf2 is awesome.

I get no system due lag (only network) with a vennie 3000, i gig of ram, and a vanilla 6800.

 

[laerz]

i agree...BF2 kicks ass, but makes sure u got a fast system or else you'll get owned.

my x800xl, a643000, and 1GB ram should run it nicely :evil:

How much RAM do you have?

I keep hearing this, but I'm running it on an AMD 1.8/9800/1GB RAM... Just run the settings at 1024@medium. Anything higher than medium textures uses more RAM, so don't touch those settings w/o more than a GB.

It'll run just fine, but only at medium texture unless you get more RAM.
