nvidia is reveiling it's new G70 graphics card on June 21st, and guess what? It's also hosting a BF2 LAN party for release night! Woot! ;)

Oh, and the Playstation3 demos at E3 were running on the G70's (not the PS3 GPU because they haven't even finished designing it! They just hooked up a PS2 (or was it PS3?) controller to the computer to play the demos, yes even the Unreal Engine 3 demo...) so for those who say "omg liek h4x, PC Games are dying!" the graphics are already going to match the next-gen games this year.

Meh, I thought it really didn't deserve it's own topic :p I just saw that BF2 blurb and look at how much I started to rant :)

How do clans work? You join a clan and it goes to your profile? Or you have to make a new profile? I am guessing it just adds a tag to your current profile.
good question, I have no idea however... but it's something I didn't think about.

Im wondering if there is even an option for clan tags in there. good idea regardless

Yeah, I just read that on GS a few minutes ago. These new GPUs are coming out so freakin quick. I just got my X800 XT PE last August and already something is going to, potentially, surpass by 10 times or whatever. Oh well, I'm still happy with what my card can accomplish anyways. I just wish I had the funds to keep up with all this new technology.
 
This is sorta OT:

Are any of you guys that have BF1942 up for having a huge game before #2 is released? Oh c'mon, for old times sake, it would be great! :D

why not BF:vietnam? it's much better.
I have both bf1942 and bfv however.
 
I only have BF1942...but then again I haven't even played regular old 1942 in ages. I only really play DC now.

I haven't played DC in ages, I should re-install it.

I really think the next-gen consoles'll own the PC graphic-wise atleast the first year, atleast the PS3, not so sure about the 360 anymore, I mean the RSX(I think that was what the special nVidia GPU for the PS3 is supposed to be called) is apparently really really powerful.

huh im confused, why is that good? you cant change your name, if you want to you have to start a new profile with 0 stats, why is that good? :|

It's good because it might help against TK'ing sons of bitches. And you don't have to change your name if you enter / exit a clan, coz there are special clan-tags.

EDIT Good morning btw!

special clan tags? so i can easily edit my name to [hl2.net]... without having to create a new profile with 0 stats.

But to confirm if i want to change my name altogether i need to make a new profile with 0 stats?

morning too. :)

hmmm guess i'll choose my name wisely now. msn btw.
 
i thought your account name was permanent.. and you could add tags if you wanted....
 
Servers with team killing on are going to be crazy, for these reasons

Team killers, well.. no need to explain there.
People who dont warn others where going to bomb, mine etc etc.
People are dumb enough not to listen to the people who do warn them.

Should be interesting none the less, anouther thing, anyone in a jeep and stuff are going to have to be very carefulll drivers, less they run over there own teammates. I look forward to it.

I hope at least one of you makes a good leader, Im a good team member and look forward to being someones gunner, medic or engerineer.

/me wonders if there will be female models, but highly doubts it.

I think there's a built in forgive option, because TK's are punished by like -8 points apparently :p If there isn't it could be fecking annoying if you set artillery on a base and an APC full of teammates drives straight in and gets blown to shit. Well, sorry that's -48 points :hmph:

That would be a tad annoying though, so yes I do hope theres a forgive.

But on the other hand if theres a large group of people having a fire fight, you should be able to bomb them without getting your teammates, unless one of your teamates desided to run in meele style.. :D

Don't worry, it's happening.
 
I just woke up this morning after dreaming about BF2. :O Seriously. It was awesome.

I usually dream about games when I'm really looking forward to its release.

But here's a little riddle for ya. How do you know what the PS3's graphics will look like, if they haven't even made the RSX yet? :) Any/all real-time footage at E3 from the PS3 was using the new nvidia cards that will be released this year for the PC :)

However, the Xbox360 footage was used with their beta GPU (their final one will be completed this summer).

Tech is moving so fast :bounce:

And to stay on the topic of BF2.

More screeens :D
 
Is this game going to be like America's Army, where that if you lose a certain amount of points you eventually get dropped down a rank.

Would be a cool idea, but I don't think that was in any way confirmed or talked about.

I am pretty sure that happens.
 
Ahem, anyway yeah...



I've been reading this thread a fair bit recently..


It would appear that alot of you lot are forming a clan of some sort for BF2 yes?





I thought I best express some interest in this. :)

I have exams at present but once they are over (End of june) i'm all up for some serious gaming!!! :D
 
Yea if you kill your teammates like MAD you prolly will drop a rank.

LOL Me too last night. I know someone who has the copy because he beta tested and I dreamed he sent it to me and another friend. We got on and it felt like really cool flying the choppers and it was fun. I was sad when I woke up and it wasnt true..... untill this week.!



edit: sorry for double post.

LOL. Awesome! :LOL:

I can't get enough of BF2. It's totally consumed me.

it's good because you can have multiple profiles (each with their own stat tracking) under one account.

I was worried as Im sure to have other people besides myself playing bf2 on my PC.
that set my mind at ease (I was worried about it earlier in the thread)

on the whole forgiving Tks discussion.

there is an option to forgive Tks you can see it in a few of the videos in the bottom left in yellow (press something to forgive *yadda yadda* for team killing)

however in RANKED servers (where we all want to end up spending our time as a squad) according to the article on the official BF2 page ( http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/editorial.jsp?src=communityupdate_060305 )

Ranked Servers
Ranked servers will be where the hardcore bump heads and clash knives. All Ranked Servers will be configured to provide the definitive competitive Battlefield experience. Friendly Fire is on, and TK will be punished by default, so all players will need to use their tools wisely and watch out for the tools that have been deployed by their teammates. If, for example, you have a hankering to be the best sniper to ever stare down the sights of an SVD in Battlefield 2, these are the servers on which you will have to walk the walk. If you’d rather not spend your time trying to figure out where the world’s #1 sniper is popping your melon from, see below.

Ranked servers will be heavily administrated and have Punkbuster on. The integrity of the stats system is of paramount importance to EA (and of course to those participating in it) and so we will be monitoring things constantly. At the end of the day, Ranked servers will be a safe, regulated environment on which the most competitive players will be spending their time. If this environment doesn’t sound right for you, that’s great. That’s what Unranked servers are for.

however the attitude in general on ranked should be that of a more dedicated gamer. you won't have problems with tkers (in theory) because it will be an environment that was designed for clans and teams that work together.


in other words practice on unranked servers, play on Ranked servers :)
I can't wait to start working with you guys (and gal) as a squad, covering eachother working together, barking orders at you... using you as human shields... it's going to be great.. I mean err oops

:)

edit: speaking of coordination, we should all use Xfire (www.xfire.com) kinda like steam but.. it works heh. nab it and put your Xfire name in your sig, the demo is upon us people, lets organize!
 
lol, I had a short dream about BF2 as well. Somehow there was one hacker that got a hold of the BF2 demo and did not let anybody else have it (I don't know how he could've done that...) but he'd release screens and videos on the internet. For some reason his record was always 28-0...it never changed even when he killed an enemy.
 
I had a short dream about...something quite different.. :naughty:

One thing they're all getting pissed over at Total BF2 is the "leading targets" thing that BF2 won't have - even though the only reason you needed to lead your targets in 1942 was because of the shitty netcode :upstare:
