"Right, BF2"

Considering getting this one, have a couple of questions first to ease my troubled mind.

Is it subscription based, like WoW?
Have they sorted out out that awful unwieldy menu system?
Does Xfire work with it yet?

Cheers

It'll be your 9800Pro. I'm afraid you're going to have to get a new graphics card. I suggest an Nvidia 7800GTX. But for that you'll need a new mobo with PCI-E, and a new processor in socket 939. You should probably get some new RAM and a new keyboard and dual monitors so you can surf the internet and play BF2 at the same time. Also I think you'll need a shrine to EA, liquid cooled of course, in order for your graphics card to be compatible with the game.
Total Price : 1 soul

Nope, supports 9800 Pro.
Wont install patch though, "cannot find install folder".
Possibly because it crashed when registering with EA?
And NO I DONT WANT GAMESPY ARCADE, STOP ASKING ME

I foree a swift return to the shop for this

**edit**
How many patches are there for this?
I'm re-downloading v_102.exe but can't seem to see a v1?

Well for a start people running with better graphics will have better draw distances than the others. You only have to look at the screenshots Monkey Man has posted to work that one out.

Anyway, I'm not looking to get into a PC VS Console argument though. We'll just be retreading old ground that has been covered a million times before and still there will be no true winner or any point to the discussion. I'm just saying there's no reason why the 360 version won't be as good as the PC version.

Controls aren't a valid reason because everyone prefers different styles. Myself I'd rather shove a hot poker up my japseye than play with a keyboard and mouse.

Nope, won't even let me uninstall it now.
*hits regclean*

Back to the shop for you shoddy EA product.

Just...reinstall it

!?!?

No! It won't install! It's giving him too many problems. Back to the shop! I still say it's your 9800 pro and you need that water coold shrine.

It won't let me uninstall, error message comes up and control panel/remove programmes won't work either.
But regclean wiped nuked it.

I'll try to reinstall, restart and apply patch.
If it don't work, then it's Top Spin for me.

**patching,please wait...**
For the past 3mins now. Fag time and we'll see if EA stays on my PC.
It took less time to install and validate Half-Life2 via dialup.

**edit**
Right, seems to have updated. Let's see what the single-player is like so I can get a feel for it again after weeks of not playing the demo.
I don't have, nor will purchase, a headset mic though

If you have a mic you can just use that and some headphones.

But you'll need to water cool them.

Oh shut up with the asinine comments, they're not amusing in the slightest.

Right, before I go online is there any way to alter your appearance as with most online games? Facial features etc?
Tried the singleplayer and it lagged something fierce on a map, so I had the wonderful effect of "T-t-t-e-e-e-a-a-a-m-m-m f-f-f-fa-a-a-a-l-l-l-l b-b-b-a-a-a-c-c-c-k-k-k-k", hope it doesnt do that online

I think you can black him up, but nothing comic like hotpants. It's not Battlefield Gay.
