"Battlefield 2"

Anyone getting this? It's looking very good indeed and it's just gone gold. Rumour has it that there will be a demo on the 10th or around then with the game being released on the 24th. I must admit I had my doubts as to whether or not this will come out in June but thankfully it is. I haven't read or seen much about this until now because I was trying not to get into all of the hype. Looks like a must have by the looks of it.


Some useful info

Battlefield went gold on June 1st 2005 and will be released on the 24th of June.

Indeed. Our Clan servers are well policed and have a defined set of rules such as no rape, no art on mains, no TK etc and those who flaunt them only last bout 30 sec's before admin strikes. Makes the game a lot more enjoyable when on an organised server (if only CS:S would sort itself out!)

Thankfully the choppers handle more like DC choppers and not the n00b 'nam ones. I'll have air superiority over all those 'nam heli pilots...;)

Begins with A ends with zul i think

if not it must be a complete random.

Who's the Bellend? Excuse the pun ;)

If you guys rave about this enough I might have to bring forward the old upgrading in order to be part of it.

Maybe we should re-surface the xfire thread at somepoint and have the first post updated with all the account on.

Yeah, probably easier for us all to use Xfire. Makes joining games a lot easier. 3 Weeks to go!

i think it depends on the servers you play on, the vietnam server i play people in general know to let me pilot the helicopter as i will drop them off where everythey want and then go off on my own little mission without ploughing people in to the side of trees.

i hope that most of you will use xfire and we can arrange a server meeting so there are some funny stories of people dieing horribly.

128 min? I have a mobility Radeon 64Mb 9700!

Think I'll wait for a demo.

Only thing about the requirements which are worrying me is gfx min. Guess i'll just have to wait for the demo to come out.
*fingers crossed*

Just got the latest specs. Thread updated.
