    Best day EVER!!!

    As I'm sure a good few of you have read in my "Oh my, Im HORRIBLE" thread, I suck. Pretty bad :laugh: But today was a complete turnaround!!! Read on

    My day started off great as I was staying at a friend's house and then going to our local lancenter. It felt great to play BF2 on high settings Anyways, after a round of fooling around with planes/helis, we decided to hop onto a 32 player wake server.

    I quickly applied to be commander and I was accepted quickly. The rest of the game is a big long story (and the game was VERY close, 6 tickets to be exact, my team won) But, I came out of the game with a gold star (I got a 2nd one the next round when I was also comm), the staff officer ribbon, and basic command. Now I know this isnt amazing but for me, whos used to 1 medal a week, was AWESOME.

    But my story doesnt end there

    I went home and decided I'd mess around with my hardware a bit. (Someone had told me I probably should plug my powersupply into my graphics card :laugh: ) Then, I went into my video settings, changed everything to low/off and joined a game. Now this was one of the reasons to my sudden increase in skill. Before I had horrible choppiness but now I have none ^_^ and Im not bothered by the bad graphics as much anymore.

    Anyways... (sorry for the rambling folks )

    I boot into BF2 and... I HAVE 2 UNLOCKS weee! It turns out it was from playing SF at the lancenter So I grab my new all time favorite weapons, the g36e and the dao12.

    Now since this is getting long, Ill cut to the chase (like I shouldve done awhile ago!) After a couple rounds, I came with all BR scores above 100 (my average was 40 :laugh: ), received my basic pistol badge and my combat action ribbon.

    This truly made me love BF2 again and I'm glad my skills have finally improved.

    P.S. I apologize for the extremely long post. I finished writing it and realized I was going into ridiculous detail, but I didnt want to delete my work, so, sorry chief! :laugh:

            Nice one, i've never heard of a lan centre only 'internet cafes' which are only good for searching the web. (may have something to do with living in the UK though lol. But congrats on all the medals/awards.

                I haven't seen someone using Rambus in a long time. You can flash your 5200 to a 5500.

                        I didnt think it was possible, but today got even better

                        After some EXTREMELY usefull tweaks on Secrets of Battlefield, I can now run BF2 with no lag/choppiness at 1024x768 at 85hz on all medium settings!!! THESE ARE THE SETTINGS I COULD USE AT THE LANCENTER!!!!

                        The only drawback of today is that I didnt get any homework done haha :laugh:

                        Edit: Forgot to add that the tweaks also helped my computer run 2-3 times faster >:]
