Well after playing it for a solid 2 hours... DAYUM. Ran smooth even with grfx blasted to the max. But god... the gameplay, oh the gameplay. *twitch* The choppers even feel like DC!
My impressions are indescribable. short from a single, long orgasm of battlefield pleasure.
What you think you're doing? friggin go download it already! im psyched for the lan even more than i was before.
EDIT: after prolonged play i can tell you its much different than the previous battlefields, but in a good way. a very very good way. they definitely pushed on the teamplay factor which makes it feel so much more strategic.
the controls are a tad sticky... like i'd hold down w for a bit then let go and i'd still move forward a few steps before stopping but it only happens occasionally. not sure what that is.
choppers and planes are suprisingly easier to fly than i wouldve thought, yet still leaving you with a great sense of control.
the grfx are supreme. Had some glitches with the dynamic shadowing. turning it off fixed it quite well hehe.
oh and the bot AI.. oh my. muuuuuuuuch better than the previous BF titles. Its actually enjoyable.
Welp.. thats all i can tell you atm. just download it. dont listen to me about my impressions. go make your own.

20 mins to go on the DL...I cant wait.

ooo..some additional DL info:
go to http://www.totalbf2.com

Im not gonna get the demo or the game for that matter simply cuz I hate waiting that and I got better games to buy.
-
The slowdown walking thing is by design. I believe I read that somewhere or saw it in one of the demo videos. Realistically you don't run at a sprint and then come to a sudden stop, there is a slow down period.
So....yeah. That's all I have to say about that.
And that I'm going to d/l it now myself. Didn't realize the demo was out either.

/me dodges agents slap and it hits sully
i am going to take it from agent at lan tomorrow
speaking of lan tomorrow, time for me to pack up. See everyone who is going there.

is it a known problem with win2k?
edit: after some googleing it says it isn't compatible, it gave me a warning when installing it, but let me continue.
Might be time to backup and install xp64
yet another edit: this linux thing seems nice though, but not quite enough for a main desktop rig
-
tekie: I will kill you
"this linux thing" ... ?!
sigh ... noob

I'm actually making a machine for my room (lil axp1700 w/6gb hdd and some ram) that I plan on putting linux on as a music/im/email box. Just to get more familiar with it in a desktop enviroment. But i'm teatherd to too many windows only apps to consider using linux as my primary desktop rig. (yet for some reason i'm looking at a mac)
-
okay, all is kinda good. I can get into safemode and all my apps work (after uninstalling bf2) yet the normal mode doesn't
-
Goodluck with that xp64 thing.

PC Specs
Intel P4 - 3.02 Ghz
1 GB RAM
7200 RPM WD HD
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro (128 mb)
ATI Cats 5.6 (latest)
Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit Sound Card
Load Time Ok
Max Video Settings for my rig - 1024x768 HIGH Level of Detail
I am having a major problem with sound though. Music and effects are fine, but voice over (tutorial speech) is choppy. Tried all settings, Software, Hardware, with EAX etc.
-
very odd. *shrug* try checking the EA boards? prolly the best source of demo info
-
Ok...
Figured it out...
Apparently my card only does SOFTWARE EAX, not HARDWARE EAX... so I had to select Software. (I hve a new card on order to relieve this)
As for Video... I think I got it maxed out for my card.
1280x960 Everything on High except shadows (med) and AA (off)

some people were not able to run ti at the lan. we found out it requires a dx9 native card. so the peeps running a ti4600 and stuff were sol. you guys should upgrade anyways tho :P
-
my x800 is on the way. wooohooo

The only problem I had was killing people as infantry. My screen would show me unloading 15 bullets into someone with a bunch of headshots before they would actually die! Sometimes they'd still be alive?! I was playing on a NYC located server and my ping was around 60-70 consistently so it shouldn't have been lag. However, I've grown a love for flying again! I may have to buy a new joystick as the one I have is not very good for flying choppers (it's impossible for me to hover but I don't know anything about YAW controls and such that you can adjust in game). I'm also not sure how useful jets are as of yet. It seemed like I got one bomb with about 16 missiles (of which can't kill a helicopter on one hit!!) but I had no idea where that bomb is hitting. When I switch to front chase view I see no explosion, only the occasional kill.
The vehicles were VERY fun to use though! I almost got to the enemy carrier in that water transport thing before someone on the carrier finally spotted me. I took the SW flag by myself in a tank, surviving the initial assault and two spawns before finally being killed by an engineer who killed himself. That left that flag open letting me respawn nearby and grabbing it :)
P.S. - sniping sucks, since when does a headshot on someone SITTING STILL not kill them ?!
-
hmm very odd lldayo. i seem to be getting alot of 1 shot kills while sniping and even more sometimes just using the normal guns so i guess its the opposite for me.
btw, i dont know why but the occasional controls lag is gone for some reason. its super smooth now. *shrug*

mine just refuses to install, man i hate dialup, took me 3 days to d-load and it still didnt work :(

Too bad you're so blasted far away -- I could easily throw it on a CD for you.
Ask around -- I'm sure someone nearby could do it for you. :army:
-
Don't look at me. I am even further away!
-
Just got it working (with xp64 I might add) and I must say it is sweet!
We should do a fites server/game night sometime soon!
Who all can run it?
-
i video card came yesterday, so i finally got to check it out. It is pretty freakin sweet. I love the way the vehicles feel and handle. The choppers take some getting used to, and the plane are pretty tought. very awsome

the plane seemed easier than the chopper, I used (default controls) wasd for acceleration and the arrow keys (also default) steer the thing.
