Some Commandline options you may want to use

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

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

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?

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

is it wise to give playername and password harmor?

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

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

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

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

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

which config file to edit ??

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

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.

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

and what might that do?

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

Hmm...i had to delete the movie files.

nm...I'm thinking of +menu 1

Re: Some Commandline options you may want to use

the +restart works for me, ive used it since day 1

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
