Battlefield 2

Those very bottom shots can't be max settings, because further up the page, is this one:

http://www.bf2.be/page/screenpage1/22.j ... 0cb2985ab1

Now compare the polycount on the weapon to this one:

http://www.bf2.be/page/screenpage1/70.j ... 0cb2985ab1

(Things to look out for; Front sights, bullet chain, top handle)

So maybe this wont be as bad as most think

HL2 with medium settings They could at least make the font higher res

You've got maps 10 times the size and vehicles on top of that. Please do not compare it to HL2 DM.

hey foo, fuck off and just try playing the game instead of basing an opinion on the screenshots
Eh? I think it was the post Pauly edited that explained I can't play it, it won't support my card (geforce 4 128Mb). Which only makes me thing worse of it. Far Cry is fine, HL2 is fine, D3 was fine. This doesn't look a patch on those and won't run on the same spec graphics card?

I can't base my opinion on much more, since the game's support is so shit it won't run on my perfectly able rig.
Thats not a GF4 MX is it? If so, good luck running anything out there "FINE". Honestly, devs don't support it because it doesn't support the latest features, its just a GF2 with a few more things. Wow.

I know, because i had one at one stage, and i had trouble running anything on it.

I only just got rid of mine and it ran things ok

Ugle

I used to have one, and pretty much every game i picked up in the shop would say "This works on everything yo! Everything except the GF4 MX, because it sucks!"

I went from that to a FX 5600 Ultra, ran things great, then to a 6800 GT, and that obviously runs things nice.

The problem wasn't the MX's speed, it was the feature list, or lack there of. It just didn't support anything, it didn't even support FP/VP so games that use this heavily (FarCry, Doom 3, HL2 to name a few) will look bad, or worse.

Now, what people forget it that when they say "Mine ran things fine!" its not REALLY the right thing to say. I'm sure if i disabled all the good stuff to get the same settings as a GF4 MX, my games would run at stupid FPS. But thats just it, while your running around looking at a lifeless game with hard stencil shadows, none reflective water, and no fragment programs to think of, i'm running it all with BETTER FPS.

So yeah, its nice to say ya' got good FPS, but remember exactly how little your actually drawing compared to everybody else

Right, this mirror has dropped to shitty 250kb/sec, bah... I'll keep it going, got stuff to do anyways. Gotta go up town in a bit, pick the missus up.

I'll prolly have a game with j00 m0f0's l4t0rz.

Yeah but you did it from a server that wasn't loaded at the time. NEXT!
Untrue. You're my Property.

You're in a Matrix within a Matrix within a Matrix. The real world you're in, you have complete control over your body. The real world one level above you is people like FlamingTP pulling the strings. The real world above them (and the actual real world) is controlled by me.

Capiche?

Can't. Downloaded, installed, updated to the drivers that came with it, and it loads to a black screen then backs out.

I love it, I think its a brilliant game, I was never a fan of the first one but i really like bf2 for some reason, dont know why... With that said, I shall be getting it first day of release

. Demo is cool apart from odd glitches and the maximum time thing.

Choppers are pretty lame, aren't they? I hope someone makes an arcade mod soon and removes some of the stupid realism.

If I wanted realism, I'd join up and get all the killing fun I can handle.

Has anyone figured out the sniper rifles yet, though? Close range they're incredibly easy, and what I mean is it's easier for me to kill someone than it is for you to kill someone, but when someone is more than say 700M away (standing still) even if I raise the aim a foot it doesn't hit them.

I've made some 1200M snipes in Joint Operations, partly because I have access to binoculars and I can set the gun right. Anyone know what the deal is?

I nailed a chopper head on with a tank, and the chopper didn't explode. There's your realism, fanboys. :\

I was honestly surprised at how smoothly it runs, though. Everything turned on, totally smooth at 1280x1024.

n00b. BF has always required you to lead your shots, not much, just a tad bit. I was sniping last nite from that crane on the coalition side all the way to the american spawns. lol I fucking own.

EDIT: From a good distance anyway. Closeup you can pretty much hit normally.

That's only like 400-500M, plus it's at a higher elevation. Those are simple, NEWB.

edit: My right monitor is what I was playing the game on. Thought it was 1280x1024, but that's what the monitor is set at, not the game. Oops.

I suppose if you're and ATI fan then you're pretty much out of luck until they come up with some better drivers.

Post by **dzjepp** » Sat Jun 11, 2005 3:49 pm

How so? Runs fine on ATI here.
