Battlefield 2 Online

[Sharky2688]

Hi

I have recently bought bf2 but need to buy a new pc before i can play it, getting an Alienware :D

Once i have got used to the game i really really really REALLY want to play online with real people, the idea of 64 people, on 2 teams, on 1 one map and firing tonnes of lead at each other is unreal!!!!!!:eek:

But i'm a complete beginner at playing online, how do i get started?

It will actually stick an icon on your desktop saying "Play BF2 Online Now!". Click that and it'll join you to a server

i would suggest, but someone would dissagree with me ;)

we were fortunate enough to have the demo version online to cut our teeth on.

start with the single player maps, learn the classes and maps. then venture on line to smaller team matches 16vs16 etc. get to know what your doing.

read the bf2.org forums, i found them really usefull.

go online and have fun. join an ingame squad and just tag along with the team nature.

u dont necessary need to go on ranked servers (which are oversubscribed as everyone wants to boost rank and unlock weapons etc). try searching in browser for "EA UK" (these are the official ea servers) which multiplay hosts. if ucant get on these then go for unranked clanservers..

its as easy as that!!!!!!!!

i was expecting to have to join gamespy and pay tonnes of money each month!!!

nah m8ty

just pick a server

makes sure it has a low PING as well

the lower the number say less than 250 the better the connection
ie no lag

avoid servers with ping above 400

they will be laggy and it will piss u off lol

have fun, its bloody awesome online!! :D

Bah 64 players is carp

try planetside its 3 teams 133 per side per map (400player per side used to be 500) there 10 maps per server that run simultaneos (sp?) 3 servers the euro server pings at 25-60 depending on your connection. MMOFPS's are the future this ones pretty good :D
