POST YOUR THOUGTHS ABOUT THE BF2 DEMO.

[GABBA]

Well when i finally downloaded i was so damm stooked. after some little problems i finally registered my ass and headed of to the battlefield.... BAng im on this huge aircraft carrier and i say "ohh look a cool plane".

i get in the plane and i am shcoked by the way the hud performs and the chopper wasn't as bad as i thought. i also like the way you change your weapons from singel or automatic,

other than it WAS AWEOME *drewl*.

Fun stuff, I already played it, but not with so many people. So I created my own squad within the Marines, and flew taxi with the BH for like 5 games. It's pretty neat, got a lot of assist kills, flag caps and landed people on some unaccessible roofs. The best being I landed my BH right behind a sniper on this very high tower, my whole team jumps out and start pumping a ton of lead in this poor fellow, needless to say he got "ragdolled" out of there

cool.... when i first got into a cockpit the inverse mouse really got me

..... has your bf2 demo ever crashed on you ???? and could a graphics card that isn't good enough be causing it to crash???? i raelly need help on this one........

So, how are the physics for Helicopters? Anyone care to explain? I will not be getting my video card to play BF2 until maybe next week some time.

And, can you turn invert mouse off?

K guys i need some help, my demo is totaly screwing the pooch. first it froze at 99%, now when i try to extract it it tells me that theres some sort of error. anyone else have this problem? if you did how did you fix it?

[GABBA]

the helciopters are ok. the hud inside the cockpit is fantastic but when it comes to the handle i think it's a bit heavy.. you need alot of power to get it of the ground but other than that its good...i love the sam site that heat seek onto target's beautiful......

try download from another soucre, my download went perfectly... but game tends to freeze every once in a while, i dont know if everyone is having this trouble or is it just me??+

[GABBA]

i also find that the squad system is way neglected. i was on a 32 player server and my side only had 1 squad out of like 6 possible squads.... honestly i forgot myself that the squads where there, but after that i got a good squad and tried to get some good teamwork going

You mean the rotor starting up? Thats realistic. In real life it takes even longer for Helicopteres to be able to take off. They can't really take off like in DC.

[GABBA]

no no no .. it takes like 4 seconds to power up. i mean when your flying low and have to suddenly pull; it takes time to get the nose up. most of the time i crashed the chopper into small hills that i didnt get over soon enough..

you've got your finger down on the "w" key trying to get some altitude and then splat

I'm really surprised by how many people simply avoid being in a squad and how many of those who do join squads are so eager to be led. I had 5 people join my squad within minutes of starting one. I gave out commands, they were followed... and these weren't AI soldiers, these were actual human beings.

There's hope for the BF2 community yet!

I think Oman is missing some elements in terms of gameplay. There's only one real path for infantry coming off the first CP's towards town. Any other route and your armor/sniper fodder.

I'm really getting a kick out of everyone's reaction to the demo. I've already played BF2, so the awe and joy isn't on the same level as though who are new to it all. It's really cool to see folks enjoy themselves.
