have a AMD 3000+, ASUS 6800GT card, and 1.5G PC3200 and I have most of my settings to Med @ something like 1268X864 and I get about 60-70fps
I set it up from this Tweak Guide and It was worth about +20fps

going back to the server question, i typically play on the broadbandgamers.net server or the serverspy servers, they always have super low pings and a dec amount of people in them, along with good ban rules.

I've been playing a lot on Blackknights.com server, it's located in Virginia and I usually get a 40-70 ping, as long as one of the teams isn't heavily clan favored it's usually pretty good battles. Also been playing WSS server and one or two others I can't recall.

using the correct drivers?
but more importantly, why would you handicap yourself with a console controller? mouse+keyboard FTW

Not me, but there are a bunch of interesting guides, a couple of which are aircraft-oriented.

Performance tips. Most of these were things I hadn't thought of. Slightly leery of running the tweaked drivers. Has anyone done this? I did it way back in the day with some crap Voodoo3 drivers, but nothing on any hardware I actually paid $USD_HUNDREDS for.

This patch crapped up the game.
Yes it did stop the plane carnage however it has totally mixed up all my weapon settings. I am now constantly swtching weapons trying to find the perfect one for the perfect distance. Another thing that makes me a sad panda is the Anti Tank will shoot right thru a jeep if it gets too close. I've been killed 10 times already on this stuff up because I was so used to waiting to see the blacks in their eyes before sending them packing.
Also I don't know about everyone else but I'm finding that all my unlocked weapons have a new offset to their power. Enough to not bother with them.

Yay, I'm finally getting a new machine capable--I think--of running this.
2.8GHz Pentium D
1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
128MB ATI Radeon X300SE HyperMemory graphics
Can't wait....

That 128MB video card is gonna suck. I would try for a 256MB min.
I agree with you on the anti-tank Qwerty, I shot it straight through several tanks, APCs and jeeps on a couple of maps last night. All at different ranges, some up close and some from a distance. It used to happen occasionally with the FAVs but I always assumed it was because I aimed too high it managed to go straight through the open frame.
Not sure what you mean about the offset to the power, only one I've unlocked so far is the new sniper rifle and it kicks some ass.

The unlocked sniper rifle is a good example. I have shot people the same as I'd shoot them before and the thing does nothing. but skim their health. I used to get heaps of headshots now I get none.

I got a good string of kills with it on Karkand. Seems easier to aim, the reticle pattern is thinner so you can line up shots better and it reloads faster than the M95. I think it's a little more powerful than the M24. The zoom is a lot stronger, and either they fucked up the sound file or it's silenced. I'll be testing it out more tonight probably as I've been using AT alot lately trying to get that stupid EOD badge for my next promotion but it's not quite working out.

Vas, where did you find the servers you were playing last night? I chased you around three different servers for like two hours trying to get into a game with you. Not one of them shows up in BFHQ when I log in. (You're in my BF2S leaderboard, tells you what server someone is playing on and then you can get the ip from the link there.)
Great sniping on Dalian plant last night except for the fucker that picked me off with a pkm (I was on top of the loading crane at the east base and he was by the center beach landing, a little ridiculous for a lmg.)

You gross fag, you're FPS-stalking me!
Probably our server browser filters are different. I've got BattleRecorder unchecked, for example. You should have IMed me.
government_death_robot: So... Uh... Is this game better than Counter-Strike?
I like BF2 much the way I liked CS:S, only much more so. BF2 kind of makes me embarassed about CS. It's a little bit like comparing checkers to chess; both involve essentially the same mechanics, but one uses red and black pieces and one uses funky shit with wierd names and the pieces hurt when you step on them.
At least I got to use my kool-aid story.

I'm unemployed and I figure Sahlgoode hasn't been around in a while, someone should take over for him.
GDR, get the damn game, even if you have to sell your ass or kill your folks for the money. Have you played BF1942? I see it compared to the Desert Combat mod a lot.

One is not noticeably harder than the other. The CS learning curve is probably tougher than BF2, cause CS has been out for a bajillion years and peeps have been doing nothing but playing it 24x7.
Plus with squads and vehicles it's easier to tag along with better players and see how they do and ramp up that way.

It used to happen occasionally with the FAVs but I always assumed it was because I aimed too high it managed to go straight through the open frame.
I've just been fuking around and noticed this bug.
I don't think it's that the rocket is going through the vehicle so much as the rocket isn't really firing at all -- you just get the animation played for you like it was fired. Pay attention to what happens immediately after you fire the rocket that "goes through"; I noticed I didn't have to reload. The rocket was still loaded every time.
Also I've noticed that phantom marker bug on a couple maps, where at your feet you'll have the little red [345m] icon showing you the coordinates of a flag that doesn't exist.
Another bug I've noticed is that every single time I've played post 1.2-patch, on the class-selector dialog, the little outline of the unlockable weapon for the AT class is the new P-90, which I haven't unlocked yet. If I toggle the unlock, I get the DAO-12 like always, but it seems to think I've got the P-90 available. Maybe this bug is only visible to those with the first AT unlock, but I see it every single time, so it's hard to imagine them not finding this in playtesting.
It's interesting they managed to introduce so many obvious bugs into this patch.
(P.S. The DAO-12 is sweet.)

Release Notes for 1.21
EA/Dice are sick of the hurtfull and nasty comments being made buy the community just because they released a half assed patch, so the following changes have been made to balance the game.
1. Sniper Rifles all automatically fire a warning shot, the bullt will stop and do the Can-Can in front of the Victims face to warn them that they are being shot at, the second bullet cannot leave the rifle until the dance is finished, this takes approximately 30 seconds.
2. Claymores now no longer explode killing the victim, they mearly turn into a life-size replica of Mrs Doubtfire and give you a stern talking to about the "nautiness" of sneaking up on a sniper unannounced.
3. All support weapons now play the 1812 overture before firing (including fake canon fire and fireworks over the support players head).
4. All grenades including the so-called noob tube ones now explode in a shower of flower petals.
5. No weapon now has the ability to "kill" another player, this is just getting in the way of the gameplay.
6. The 10 players with the lowest global score on any server will all automatically be given a gold medal, the badge/ribbon/medal of their choice and a hug (this is a virtual hug, so for underage members please do not interperate this the wrong way and sue).
7. All other players on the server will be given either a silver or bronze medal, the badge/ribbon/medal of their choice, and allocated an appropiate amount of points dependant on their current global score, this new points system is designed to get everyone to the same rank/GS regardless of skill level or time in game.
8. All vehicles are now "Nerf'd" and will take only one pistol round or knife thrust to explode, of course the occupants will not be harmed.
9. Medics will now be bound by the hypocratic oath, they can however "help" virtual players move on to the next plane of existance this will aquire them points under the "Youth in Asia" clause in the new EA TOS document. for each person "helped" they will earn 1 extra point, unless this offends anyone then we will award 2 points to the offended player.
10. anyone who somehow circumvents the stringent controls in the game now and actually succeeds in "killing" a virtual player will have a "Hit" put on them in the real world. This will be carried out by the new EA Games Department headed up by John "The Don" Porello.
11. anyone we don't like or who posts bad things about us will be dealt with as follows:
1st Offence - Stats will be wiped.
2nd offence - Stats wiped and we will tell your mommy.
3rd offence - banned for life from Battlefield 2.
4th offence - as per point 10 "killing penalty"
12. anyone who offends anyone else in any way within the game will have 30 seconds to appologise, if they fail to meet this timeframe they will be kicked from the server.
