"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.

I heard DC was better than the original Battlefield 1942 hopefully they've learnt their lesson.
I've got a pad now so maybe I'll give this game a try without having the fear of crashing a plane into a cliff.

Can't wait. Have it pre-ordered in 4 different places. Upped the RAM, got the GFX and the processor should be OK until my new rig arrives in August.

Been playing Desert Combat since v3 and still play DC_Final more than any other game, so quite looking forward to see what Dice (Trauma)/EA have done since buying out Trauma (The original makers of DC).

Finally went Gold this week, should arrive on the 21st! Yay. If it's bad, the thankfully there's a DC mod in the pipes already!

well assuming i get moved and settle somewhere, hopefully when i e-mail smv my new address i will get it early-ish :D

Just ordered my copy, hopefully will get it on the 23rd :D

The min is an FX card..sounds like your out of luck with an MX 440.

I have a Nvidia Geforce4 MX 440 128mb.

Most people thought hl2 wouldnt run with this although it does fine (surprisingly), so im pretty doubtful.

128MB minimum is a bas.
Hopefully by September 256 cards will be more standard and I can get one. Looks like no less than a Gig of RAM, either.

What graphics card do you have?

Been waiting for this game for ages now since vietnam was such a let down, definately going to get it. Although i'm fearing my graphics card wont quite be good enough for it.
You guys think that it will need a much better graphics card than half life 2?
