Re: Lighting setting: LOW, a cheat!?

I would never run that setting.

You rarely run into situations/rooms like that. And it doesnt take me too long to find the person. THat looks like crap, and part of the reason I like battlefield so much is because it is one of the nicest looking shooters out there (mass online play).

TO each his own though. If someone was using that ag ainst me, i wouldnt have any gripes at all.

Re: Lighting setting: LOW, a cheat!?

This is why if your in a clan, you set your settings to specific ones, depending on what you do. I have all my settings on low eccept 2. Im not saying which ones. I have a 4800X2 2 gigs of ramm and a x1900xt. I can max the settings out to but i play with low.

wow, nice waste of an x1900xt! I have the same card and I get at LEAST 60 fps with all settings high 4xAA 8XAF 1440x900

I can understand trying to get a bit of an advantage over others but wow...just wow.

DICE really needs to fix the advantage they gave to low settings, that way this nerd can actually play the game the way it was meant to be played.:laugh:

Re: Lighting setting: LOW, a cheat!?

also if your terrain is set on medium/high rather than low, it can be to your disadvantage.

i had a **** pc a while ago, played bf2 on low everything, but spotting prone players was simple as there was no grass in my view! Killing spipers was the best!! (ps: dont u think knifing prone snipers is the best/most satisfying kill?i love it)

Now that i play everything on high, i'm kinda getting a taste of my own medicine with players playing on low graphics. But i love my high graphics so dont prone in grass anymore

DICE messed up on this one, most other games make the higher settings the advantage, instead BF2 is the exact opposite. Its ok if thats all you can run, but there are morons who actually can run all high but run low settings to gain this advantage.

If you are one of those 'morons' dont reply. You make me sick.

Re: Lighting setting: LOW, a cheat!?

The settings that give you a proper advantage if high are:

Geometry - See things further, important for planes etc..
View Distance - Duh
Effects - Plane contrails only appear on medium, not low
Dynamic Lighting - Muzzle flash from weapon, especially from the PKM, wow that weapon is like a 400W Light Bulb

Dynamic shadows can only be set if lighting is set to medium, i think this came around in 1.3 or something

My system is no where near able to run BF2 on nice settings, so i set the settings to give maximum clarity and stuff over eye candy. The above ones got priority. If i had a super system i'd probably play it all on high, BF2 really looks nice on all high.

Re: Lighting setting: LOW, a cheat!?

Those who turn their setts down to make renders disapear are ****ers of the highest order. I feel sorry for someone trying to play the game with a low end pc and can't see the great graphics of the game...but someone who purposefully turns them down.... If I ever encounter someone shootin me thru bushses they will get a ban for sure cause I am sick and tired of the cheaters glitchers hackers ...get a life you mindless twats.

Stats... bring out the best in people.

Fixed that for you. Battlefield series was much better without the online stats.

Re: Lighting setting: LOW, a cheat!?

If you play with easy to spot lighting (left) all the time, and another person plays with maxed settings and therefore harder to spot in dimly lit areas, then when you get somewhere where there is decent lighting you'll get torn up. The other person is training himself in unfriendly conditions and therefore when the conditions are friendly he's a crack shot. You on the other hand would be training in constantly friendly conditions, so there would never be "easier" lighting where you can just coast for a bit.

edit: and another thought... with settings on low perhaps you can see better... but does it feel better? I don't mean ethics or anything silly like that, I when the settings are on low do you get the adrenalin rush, the anxiety, the pumping heart?

....... when the settings are on low do you get the adrenalin rush, the anxiety, the pumping heart?

Yeah, you get all those feelings, then you kill the other guy 'cause he can't see you, LOL..........

Re: Lighting setting: LOW, a cheat!?

With my main rig, I play a mix of medium's and highs on 1280x1024. I just got a new laptop (XPS M1210) with the Go7400,a nd it can only play mostly lows (inlcuding shadows, lighting). OH MY!! It looks like total CRAP. Give me shadows and lights anyday. We are not playing in the early 90's!!
