Some Commandline options you may want to use

[Harmor]

First off I did a search in this forum and didn't find this.

To bypass the account login just use the following two case-sensitive commandline options:

+playerName YourName
+playerPassword YourPassword

To bypass the intro movies:

+restart

Simply right-click on your BF2 icon in your start menu or desktop, goto Properties, then edit the Target field like this:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +playerName Harmor +playerPassword harmor1337 +restart

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

and what might that do?

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

What about the clan tags? Is there a way to automate that too, or does it remember the last one you used?

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

You can directly edit the config file that has your tag in it. It's blank by default, but that's also how you see people get characters in their tags that the game won't let you type in.

which config file to edit ??

and also is it possible to change my nickname in game to something else without being banned by punkbuster

It remembers the last one you used (its in one of the Config files).

Thanks for the tip Harmor, I've already deleted my movie files but that login stuff is handy. On a related note my BF2 command line is getting a little ridiculous..

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start "runhigh" /high "E:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BX.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +restart +playerName Bungalow_BiII +playerPassword PASSWORD +szx 1920 +szy 1200

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

is it wise to give playername and password harmor?

[falafelwaffle]

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

c start "runhigh" /high "E:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BX.exe"

Does that tell Winblows to run BF2 on High Priority instead of using Control-Alt-Delete to do it?

You could write a batch program that edits your prefix and starts the game.

yes it does, the problem for me is that some of my mouse buttons (the ones that use a keyboard keystroke) are unresponsive if bf2 is in high priority. i have an mx500.

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

As Roger said yes it does. However if you have any hardware with software or just plain old software running in the background (macro whores *cough*) you'll experience some issues. Some examples of legitimate programs that will wig out include: Winamp, Fraps, Ventrilo, Teamspeak (and yes I'm also pretty sure this includes people with a cheatboard with macros like the Logitech G15).

If you're going to run BF2 at high priority make certain you're only running BF2 and yes it most certainly does help especially in regards to verfying client data.

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

so how would i go about keeping the logitech software open and having bf2 set to high priority?
