Indeed it does. Once you unlock the F2000 kit, you can use the flashbangs in any map, SF or vanilla

I am going to play a little BF2 tonight... probably on one of the servers in Europe. One with a ping value of less than 100.
Look for SigurdFafne.
I'm kind of annoyed because during a game I won the medic award, and when I left the game the award was nowhere to be found! It was several days ago so its lost for certain...
EA is poor at updating stats. Usually, if the game ends or you exit just after getting the award and you dont continue playing for a little, it wont update. Happened to me with one award. I eventually had to redo my efforts until I got it.
Speaking of freaky awards, BF2S.com says I have everything I need for the MEC Campaign Ribbon (1s in each vanilla MEC map), but I just dont have it. I already have the Chinese Campaign Ribbon, but this is driving me up a wall.
Yeah, though I thought i made sure, for this reason, that i played at least one more map on the same server.
I also have all the requirements for the MEC Campaign ribbon, and have the chinese one, but still no MEC ribbon. Im going to check someone who is really advanced and see if he has it.

a) open up your connection options, click "repair connection." It probably wont work so
b) call the services for the company that makes your modem and ask them what to do. describe to them what message comes up and they should tell you what the problem is and how to fix it.
Note: If your internet does work but the BF2 server does not, then you probably need to download the latest patch.
{BHC}KingWarMan888:
Your socket problem most likely lies in either your firewall or anti virus software.
They have blocked your BF2 from accessing the internet.
Have a look trough your Firewalls if you have more than one. If you have just updated your software, it often cancels previously allowed connections and you have to reset them. Some of these security softwares often do this without notice.
I don't play BF2 online (because I don't have high-speed), but I play SP. It ia the most (Hope the mods don't mind if I use this expression) Kickrahi FPS I have ever played with the two exceptions of Thief II and Deus ex!!! I recomend the game to anyone who has never been fortunate enough to have played it.
You are missing out BIG TIME here buddy. This is a game that needs to be played online.. the maps are bigger and the enemy is human controlled.Quote:

Why doesn't anyone play special forces expansion pack? It is so much better, but there are too few servers and too few players for it.
I know of a 24 hour Ghost Town server I have on favorites that is usually maxed on players, but Ghost Town isnt all that great. I'd much rather have something like Night Flight, something where I can use my night vision goggles.
I like Ghost Town, but I agree it isnt the best map.
That is actually another problem, only certain SF maps get chosen regularly (usually the day maps) so some of the cooler maps remain unknown.
Ghost Town is great for a 16 player melee, but on 64 player maps, it gets bogged down by tanks and AA and stupid people flying helicopters. It gets so bad, I usually camp myself around the oil fields on flag defense so I dont have to deal with accidental friendly fire with all the crowding going on.
Thats exactly why the only let 42 players in most of the time (on a 64 player map).
Anyway, its a good playground for me because I play Medic and Assault. Flashbangs are good on it, and plenty of people to revive.

As for SF, I play it more than BF2Vanilla. (I am kind of a SAS pervert, so that is probably why :D)
BF2 Vanilia is good, see nothing wrong with it, but that just me :) :)
Also, I (finally) got on today, and there was only 39 servers there. I hope it was a bug, because I hope all 20-30000 people didn't just pick up and leave for good :(
Anyhow, I think it should be good if we had a .org clan for BF2 :)
{BHC}KingWarman8{G} or something similiar (don't remember) is my username, I am usally on a Dragon Valley, Masthuur City, or Shaqri Peninsula Map, Usally the Antieam 24/7 map or Insomina365 server for Mastuur or Shari, so look for me sometime and join my guys (or you can PM me so we can come on at same time) :)
I went on today and won Basic Medic Specialist, Basic Assualt Specialist and over 100 points towards my next rank. I still haven't been awarded them though. It's so annoying!
yea I know m8, it is really annoying. going to go on tomarrow or Monday for at least 2-3 hours to do some major catching up :-) :-)
I think I got some of them back now...
Hey,
ok diablo, I see you one day this week or on the weeknd :-) :-)
Have you upgraded to 1.41?Quote:

ive got the patch and there is usuallyonly about 150 servers...
ah damn. I got 1.4 LOL. I figure there was a new patch. I get it ASAP then,thanks m8 :) ;)
Yo Warman sorry I didn't play you this weekend I'll try and do it next weekend alright? Cheers...
Been promoted to Sergeant!

Saturday ir SUnbday is good m8 :) :)
Congrats m8, I been on a roll lately also :) :)
An odd question, but when you play SP, does the computer compute a rank for you?
No because you aren't using an online EA account therefore you can't win awards, ranks etc. No. Play Multiplayer! BF2 needs to be played online.Quote:

Diablo, Saturday could be good ,Hell,Even SUnday can work if you willing to play on CHirstmass eve just for a hour or 2 :) :)
Well lets see. Ill let you know if i can today.
k, I see you at 5:30PM then :) :)
ok diablo, we have to get our times sdstraight so we can play :) :)
ok diablo, we have to get our times sdstraight so we can play :) :)
It's because we live in completely different timezones!
Wow. Just wow. Got this for christmas, and it is pretty damn amazing. As soon as i started playing, i didn't move for a minute or so, just stood in awe at a dogfight in the sky above. Then i jumped in a jeep and drove off, into the battle.
I've found this is probably the only game where you can fulfil all those little daydreams you have of commiting amateur heroics in the heat of battle. I have quite a lot of fun playing as a medic on the frontlines, trying to save people. Or accidentally getting caught behind enemy lines with a few people in Mashtuur City.
So fun.
I am probably going to install it today (I just got it) and I was wondering if someone could help out a newbie.
what are Some good tips
Has anyone played this mod http://www.bfapocalypse.com
Which where and in what order do I need the patches in.
Also I dont have a microphone with a head set, will my plain micro phone I use on the cpu work or do I need to buy one.
ceaeser010,
some good tips are, as a beginner:
In your first games, join a squad and let your squad leader give you orders to show you what the gist of the game is.
Play either Special Forces or Assault. They are beginner friendly kits which are not complicated. I recommend you avoid the temptation of being a sniper all the time.
Download the full patch 1.41. Go here and click on "Full patch 1.41" which is at the top: http://www.ea.com/official/battlefie.../downloads.jsp
Avoid mods like the plague! The game is good enough without them to mess up online play. Only play Ranked Servers online.
You don't need the microphone with the headset; it's not essential. I have one, but I never need to use it. There are few players who actually use them because of the following:
The messages can easily be ignored.
The messages drown out other sound and is annoying if you are trying to listen to the battle.
Most people ignore them.
Most people won't understand what you are saying (I find that there are a lot of people from other countries who don't speak coherent English). You can avoid this by going for servers you know will generally only have Americans, English or Australians playing.
Trying to speak to your team members in the middle of the game is tedious and distracting.
So it's mostly typing like ol' bf1942?
But what is wrong with mods and I how do they mess up online play? I had some of my best game times playing desert combat on bf42.
Whenever the squad leader is talking, I always listen. They usually give you good advice on where to go (defending your squad leader protects your mobile spawn point), and is a LOT easier than typing a sentence in the heat of battle, even in shorthand.
I give you a few tips m8..
I haven't played that mod,so I don't know how good it is.
you need the BF 1.41 patch. you can just get that one ofc..
http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield2/us/
I don't use a microphone/headset,even though I have one (for school, but I use the headset for BF2 and TW sometimes).. It proably will work just fine..
Some other Tips. Feel Free to ask more questions.
If you going to play MP alot (I hope you will,it's good), then here a few tips.
Bunny Hop. it may be "illgeail" in alot of servers, but alot of people,including myself, do it anyhow. Bunny Hoping is when you jump up and down serveal times to avoid getting kill, and you kill the other person instead.quite annoying.
Second, If your Hummve take a Anti-Tank Shot, BAIL OUT!! Don't Risk trying to move any further, unless you see the guy and you actually know you can run him over before he can reload and blow you to hell. Trust me, I been on Both Ends. I had people try to run me over,only to get shot by me and killed or by someone else when they run me over.
If you wanna take out a Tank, hit it once, usally in the front or on the turrentk, then duck or run off to a safe spot,reload, and repaet the process 2-4 times,mabye 5 times max in bad cases, till it blows or untill he comes out, then if he comes out for you, then of course, you need to pull out your gun/pistol/knife, unless you wanna use a Anti-Tank gun, Like I do :) :)
Also, It's ok if you Fly a Chopter to their "main" base where their UAV/scans are. I do it all the time on the Masthuur City and Sharqi Peninsula Maps. I hop in my Apaches or My Most Favortie Choper, The Black Hawks (BHC :) :) ), then I fly to their base,cap or uncap, or close to it, and bail out and do my work.
.
btw, you watch Jericho to :):)??
Diablo,we can set up times on MSN then..
If anyone else like to do MP BF2 games with me also, then get me on MSN. Warman456@hotmail.com is my MSN..
Thanks for the tips, hopefully I will get it installed today (the new cpu doesn't like our monitor, so it is going to the shop to have something set lower) I really don't get the computer stuff that well...but that's how I understand it. Supposedly it will only take a few minutes to do.
Yep I watch Jericho. It's my favorite show.
I told the owner of the site (the one I've got linked in my sig) that I'd throw that in my sig at other places, because the place has been slowing down since the mid season break.
BTW I pmed you a better place to watch em the inntertube.
Yea m8, I got your PM,thanks :) :)
Well, you can communicate quickly by holding down "Q" and then you'll understand how.Quote:

yea, I say just go with the expasion packs..
So, I've finally got his game myself plus the expansion pack. Quite a hectic game, this. Being used to AA this is an entirely different thing, admittedly you still shoot people, but everything is on a larger scale.
Anyway, I do have a question for all those Battlefield vets patrolling the arena: how exactly do I unlock weapons ?
Also, how do you all normally proceed once the game starts, do you join squads or zerg rush the enemy from the get go ? What works for you, and which kits do you use to make it a success ?
I usually kill a fair amount of enemies, but always die at least twice for every enemy I kill - there always seems to be just one more bloke behind the one I just shot. How do you guys stay alive and rake in those double digit points ?
Thanks,
:balloon2:
Hey m8,
mabye we should do some games, I be glad to help you in game and here m8 :) :)
You get 1 Unlock Weapon per Promotion. I unlocked the G3 when I got Promoted to Staff Sergeant on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday (don';t remember)..
Depends. If you on Masthuur City map, and you sprwan on the uncaps bases, head towards the BlackHawk/Cobras Helocopters first. THen join a Squard or make a sqaurd to rake up time for your ribbons..
don't waste all your ammo clip/clips on one or two enemies.. And RELOAD OFTEN. Some of my bad mistakes was, instead of killing easy/hard tagets quick or in a minute, I would shoot my last 4 rounds, then pull out my pistol, but die 2 seconds later. If you in a middle of a bad gunfight, and got time to Reload, DO IT, if not, and got someone near you, pull out your pistol and hope for the best and reload in a safe spot ( unless you dead)
Also,Don't teamkill m8. you will lose 6 points if you get punish for a TK, 3 points if you got forgiven and turst me
I TK 6 people the toher day by Accident, and lost 24 Points
so be careful and have fun
I think I might get this game.
very good game. I say buy the Dexlue Edition. it comes with Both BF2 and SP or SF or whatever the expasion is. having at least 1 expasion makes it very good also IMO..
newbie needs more help.
I am having more fun playing in squads than alone; the only problem is once I leave one for some reason (leader walks up to me and shoots me in head while there are no enemies around for no reason, or just isn't that good) both have happened.
Any way skip ahead 5 min after that and it won't allow me to join another squad or rejoin my old one.(keep in mind the squads I try to join are not locked)
Also how do I unlock the other guns? I've gained three ranks and still can't get one:help: (so technically i should be able to get one right)
edit lets get some orgahs together join a server and start a squad.
My name is ceasar010 in game (yes it is spelled wrong on purpose)
You may have been block from squards then,not sure m8
Yes, but remember, you unlock only 1 weapon per rank promotion
{BHC}KingWarman888{G} is my username (I think) on BF2. Ill give you guys my NSDQ server IP tomarrow
@ceasar010,
Be sure you are spawned into the game before attmpting to join a squad or start one.
While you are roaming the world of spirits this feature is locked to you.
I think playing with you Americans would be a problem as it would be too far for you to join the Euro servers and it would be too far for us to join the US servers. The ping rate would be monstrous which would lead to serious lagy gameplay.
That may be true, it probably is, but we should give it a try nonetheless.Quote:

The second didnt count (does quitting the game still give the promotion) or it may have been one of the 3 or 4 time my computer restarted on me for no reason.
the third one was just a badge.
but even so I should still be able to get a gun right? what do i need to do.
Also I am happy to say the new cpu can play with all the video settings on high without a problem:beam:
If i get one more game where I do pretty good I should have the promotion.
I like Jalalbad, Dragon Valley, Shraqi Peninsula,Mshtuur City, Dailin Plant and Wake Island. I not fond of infraty only maps,only play them so I can get my medic/Spec ops/Assault stats up.
I play on this Server Alot, the NSDQ (Night Stalkers Don't Quit) Server
here the I.P
8.6.8.42
come join me :D
Also, I got two more servers I play on, so I post the other IP's later also :D
You do that, hope to see you on at one time or the other.Quote:

:balloon2:
Hey,
yes, it sometimes happen to me. Just click the ESC button to break it off of course, and come join me in the NSDQ server then :D :D
Hi there Warman...
I just pinged the server you listed.
min 186, max 198 -> average of 189.
that is a bit steep for my liking...
[edit]: I tried it again at home...
min 307, max 461 -> average of 400
DAMN...
I try to play on servers that are <100 for the smoothest gameplay.
[edit2]: hehe.. less than 100 :laugh4: Oh and I have a 4MB line
NSDQ server isn't that laggy for me, but proably because I got 6MB Cable of course.
I get you the IP's of the other 2 servers I play on.1 is under 98 I think, other is over 128.
Pennsylvania is in the same time zone as ohio right? Let's set up a date and time.Quote:

Btw I realize why almost all the people who still pay 42 and are good at it hate BF2....their strategy won't work, BF2 requires you to do more then run in a circle around the other guy pop off a few rounds.:2thumbsup:
If you dont believe me, log into a 42 game and ask about bf2....no one will like it.
Yeah, in BF2 you have to bunny hop up to them to win a gunfight!
I find BF2 as lame as vanilla BF1942 to be honest. Too arcadey, with shoddy ballistics.
I still play the Forgotten Hope mod for BF1942, and eagerly await the new version of the mod using the BF2 engine.
The fella who said mods are pointless is wide of the mark, though they do tend to be a bit more niche.
I used to play the Desert Combat Mod for BF1942, hence I like BF2.
bf2 should have died a long time ago :P
Maybe the game could have been decent without some support - now i'll only play if it's with people i know, as you can't rely on the community to provide a fun game
