Before blowing few hundred bucks on a copy of BF2, just wanna know how does it fare on our local connection ?

Is there a monthly fee ? Are games easy to find ?

Almost all BF2 player here using streamyx connection.

To me so far so good. At least we can join some servers, such as: Gamearea (AUS), EA Japan (Japan), EATW (Taiwan), EA Korea (Korea), EATH (Thailand), and EASG (Singapore).

Each servers tat mentioned above have more than 1 server. So yeah.. To find a games, can say very easy.

Monthly fees? No u dun need to pay anything after u buy the original BF2 CD, unless u want to buy expansion pack, but its not really important.

i think we should make a pinned topic about "BF2 Getting started" so a lot of new interested gamer would get the general picture about this great game.

A getting started thread would be awesome. Is there a thread with all the ip's of the servers that M'sians play on?

Hi,
yr nick remind me about "Brotherhood of Bogans" ... u oso should consider about comp. spec for smooth play..

you could get 260+ ping on a texas server

u can just search for the game server name. so u dun need tu key in IP and port. the server that i mentioned before is the best so far for malaysian.

GameArena or EA Japan should do just find for malaysian players...

the ping to these sites should be below 180ms..

i think my com can kua.. 3.5ghz 1gig ram and some radeon 128mb card that i have to point a table fan at otherwise it will screw up due to heat.

Maybe i will get a new card if my current one is too weak. Also, how is the game for casual gamers like me? Since i have a job and can only play for max 4 hours a day.
Still fun?

Miss 17hour non-stop WoW-ing already T.T

Almost all @mp clan players are working i think. so shouldnt be problem.

It's a game. meant to be played for fun and relaxing moment

1mb ram cannot play shit nowadays. Maybe 20 years ago yes.

do i need to do any portforwarding or anything to get better bandwith??

LOL...it's just a typo.

Hmm why don't you download the demo and try 1st. i am playing with demo now.. all i can say i always kena kill by those people on chopper. darnnnnnnnn

At first I wasn't interested in this game also, but the online, and ranking system makes me wanna play....

Im using x700 vanilla 256mb (upgraded to pro spec) and the graphic is good....
128 should be okay.... but you cant load high texture


nope, no port forwarding necessary... anyway I never encountered anyone facing problem playing online behind a router before... provided the software is original

Yeah... try the demo.. if you like it, spend on the original... its worth every dollar!

damn..just finish download d 1.22 patch..for almost whole day..
and patch fail.
now. to run even d 1.02 version also cannot. sigh
redownload d patch again. sigh...hope it work

patching fail are common problem, if fail just try again until work

alamak.. try by. re-download again??
sigh..now stuck ..cant even play..
downlaod estimated.another 104hrs!!!!

Im trying to get BF2 demo.. but.. gg best dl speed i found is from fileshack at 10kbps.

dunno if the demo can be a good indication of how full game will run.
cos for some, the full game runs way smoother than the demo.
other way round for some others.
remember the demo is now 1yr old, the new patches for full game suppose to optimize resources even more.

yeah i am getting the ori this friday from one of the LY forummer....basically teh game is ok..but i definately prefer deathmatch type of game (UT 2004 ) than this...

Eh... i think he download the patch from the wrong plc. try to get xfire and dowload the patches from there. gurantee its much faster.

well, try to play with your friends (/us) & in a same squad. most of us here knows what teamwork is, & im sure u will definitely enjoy the game.

other good ping server is GameZone BF2 Unranked server ... which is located in cyberjaya... ping <20ms but... spiking alot.. hopefully they managed to fixed this soon

tried twice download from Fileshack ..indeed is faster.
but. Ping timed out?? so failed to download d patch..
dammit...
this morning. start downloading from EA again.
hope it work, n wish is complete when i back home after work.

use xfire,you could get 100kbs speed

yeah, just use xfire... also useful for future downloads... trust us, u will never go to fileshack for any updates again.

wow.. seriously.. Xfire dlspeed is pro.. im a believer !

LOL.. ur name reminds me Brotherhood of Bogans... By the way.. xfre = great dl speed

so did u finally play online bogardan??

Why so interested Gestapo?? You wanna buttseckz him with your M95 in-game?

keco la gestapo baru naik pangkat..haha

Yea, i played the demo.. hm.. i dunno, solo might be less fun i guess.

Dont play solo...play as a team.At least you can kutuk somebody if you want in bahasa..

LOL...raedean nak kutuj je...so am i.
