Screenshots-Question how it is done

[pever]

Can someone please inform me on how one takes a screenshot and how you find the shot to post? I have been playing BF2 for awhile and have missed lots of great screenshots, any help would be great. Thanks

You can bind the screenshot key to anything. I think it's under common controls in options. The screens go to My Documents\Battlefield 2\Screenshots.

The default BTW is Prt. Scr.

Look on you keyboard. Look on the righthand half of it. Above the arrows should be a box of stuff, "home, end, page up/down" at the top left should be a key that says "Print screen/ SysRq(system request) Pres that

I guess I could've said to the right of the backspace key

That's the easyest to do, then, when the game is over, close out, go into Paint, then click Edit, Paste. And boom, there you are. Remember, you can only use it once. If you press it again, the pic before is replaed by the one you took. One at a time

True, but you can take screenshots constantly by clicking the Print Scrn key. Tke thing you are describing there is for scoreboard shots, etc.

Have a look in the manual that came with BF2, it has that info in there for sure.

Much better than print screen and doesn't take any system resources. Screenshots (unlimited number, pressing it over won't erase the previous one) can be taken with a single key of your choice and saved right to Jpegs (none of the editing in Paint and then saving crap). You can even take video. There is a frame rate counter which is much better than the default BF2's one. PM me for the full verison which has unlimited video recording and 3 image formats.

Re: Screenshots-Question how it is done

Fraps does use slight resources, for me its the difference from being first into a new map and about 3rd or 4th, but i still usually get the choice of air assets

A small price to pay for being able to record videos and display accurate FPS. Oh yeah if you use it BUY THE LICENSE you cheapskates, offering to PM someone the crack you should be ashamed.
