This thread has been linked to the game '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.

stop showing off. Give me 3 months and mine will too.
My laptop will handle it easily
I always enjoyed sneaking into an enemy base, stealing one of their tanks and driving it down their runway, blowing aircraft before they got a chance to take off.
Don't go into Battlefield 2 thinking you'll just jump into a aircraft though, in both Battlefield 1942 and Vietnam (not to mention Desert Combat) Aircraft spawn areas where camped by people who all wanted to get their hands anything that could fly. There where just groups of mongs all stood in the same area, swarming aircraft as soon as they appeared.
Crap if you want to fly, but great if you want to harvest a few easy kills. I always sniped people waiting at these spawns, while some lucky enough to actually get into an aircraft, got really good at dropping bombs enemy spawn points.

You start off and pick which type of guy you want to play as, this will depend on the guns you want and the equipment you want.
You can then run up to any vehicle and get in and drive/shoot/fly/crash it anywhere you like. if you get in a jet you can fly it up really high and then just jump out and parachute out and fall slowly to the ground.

I'm going to wait for the demo and see how well/if it runs.

You might be ok, he did say an "FX" card which you have, you just don't have the 128mb ram on the card. Might be worth a try though!

Think GTA but on a Battlefield.
Never played Battlefield 1942...or many PC games at all really..but having just bought a new comp..I have to say..this intrigues me..a lot!
Can you fly the helicopters and jets etc? and do you have to spend the whole game in them..or can you just bowl over to one, get in and start some ariel warfare?

Pad = ewww it's a first person shooter/war sim/massacre they are not meant to be played with a pad.
Desert combat was an easier game for a lot of people to play as they didn't like the long reload times, the fact that planes didn't go stupidly fast and that tank shells were effected by gravity.
I like both of these games but after playing desert combat, some good old-fashioned 1942 action is a welcome change.
Battlefield Vietnam is personally my favourite as it's much more man based where as 1942 was just big open spaces and if you didn't have a vehicle you where a dead man, Vietnam allowed people to use cover much more effectively and vehicles where few in numbers on most maps, meaning that if the team was a bit organised they could take you out with a few places shots.
