Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

I used to play on a stock low end e machines. Everything on low and long load times, agravating. I did more then upgrade ram, I built a kick a$$ PC for gaming. Im usually first in too. I dont fly though, I snipe, so for me I get in and pick a nice spot nearby where the enemy will cap first flag and tear a$$. Im surprised I havent heard anybody cry about how unfair it is yet in this thread. Whaa Whaa Whaa

What I ike better then being in first is the eye candy. This game looks and plays AWSOME with everything on high and AA all the way up, ppl with crappy machines dont know what there missing. A artillary strike looks nasty.

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

lol so I played on dalian, I spawned first like I do most of the time and heres how fast I spawned lol

I had time to take the J10, fly to the carrier and steel the cobra

killed two of them after they spawned too, base raping right at the start of the match :p

oh man I remember when I had 1 gig of ram, by the time I joined the battle was on big time lol:laugh: plus i had to wait a couple of minutes till all the lag was gone, I wasnt even able to play maps like OCS, so laggggyyy

I have 2 GB RAM now too, and i am able to get Cobra when i am China, and still have to wait 3 sec to rape :)

About the CPU, i have a very strong CPU, so i dont need to upgrade for a long while, the CPU i use now is the one my brother uses at work for rendering.(see specs)

Yes, as someone already said. Hard drive speed does contribute a lot towards loading.

10,000 RPM's..... SATA 3 interface, or RAID configuration will increase your hard drive speed a bunch.

Re: ha fast pc= a big *** plus for you

I probably need to upgrade too. I have to restart my computer and not open any programs if i want it to run smoothly.

Yeah me too

3.2 ghz P4
2 gig ddr 3200
6600 GT

But when I do, I get in first on vanilla maps. SF maps however don't load as fast. :|

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

It's awsome when you finally get 2 gigs. i had 1 gig for awhile after i got the game and i got tired of the lag and waiting to get on the server so I upgraded. Being the first to spawn into the match, especially since im a tankwhore

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

Im still spawning 5-10 minutes after the server starts .

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

amd 64 3000
2gb ram
nvidia 256mb 7800gs - overclocked

My machine starts games pretty fast as well. Its usualy the only way I get a jet without someone team killing me or standing infront of my jet ... lol

I think that lots of ram makes a big difference on this game. Used to only have 512mb so jumping to 2gb increased performance dramatically.

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

It seems that RAM is king of the first spawners. I've noticed it as well when I went from 1 to 3GB 3200 DDR. Corsair RAM came as a set of 2x1GB sticks, and there really wasn't any reason to get rid of the other RAM. I don't think it makes any difference between 2 and 3, but it's nice to be one of the first to spawn. It gives plenty of time to grab any vehicle and strategize. I like when I'm SL, and can have an objective and a close spawn for my squad to cap a flag.

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

RAM does make a big diffence in BF2. I would suggest the minimum to go with is 2 Gig of RAM. The best case senerio would be 4 Gig but that costs a fortune!!! If you buy 2 Gig of RAM get it from a good comoany like Corsair or Kingston.

IMHO: If you want the ultimate gaming experience, then buy matched pair (or twin) RAM chips. They are ultra low latency, and they are definitely worth the extra $$. With normal off the shelf RAM Chips they can have slightly different components or circuitry but still be sold as the same chip, and when put together do not function as efficiently as possible. Matched pairs come off the assembly line and are packaged together, so they are perfect identical twins, which does increase their overall functionality and performence.

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

Spawning first is fun, I remember when playing Karkand, I would have the Hotel flag before any MEC would spawn in.

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

I have a question pertaining to this...

My BF2 used to run great, no major lag on all the settings turned up
cuz i have 3 GB ddr2 ram, ati x850XT pci-e, 200gb sata hd, 3.4 ghz p4...clearly not too shabby. I also used to get the maps loaded before everyone.

But then i went on vacation for a few weeks, and ever since coming back ( a week ago) my bf2 has been unplayable at the higher settings and annoying at medium settings, so ive basically turned everything down low or off to get smooth gameplay back....wtf? Is patch 1.3 doing this (i got it right when i got back)?

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

As much as I love AMD,

I hate to say it, but Intel is the way to go right now. Even with AMD's 50% price cut, the Intel Conroes still are cheaper and better performing than AMD's lineup.

For now, Intel is the winner.... or atleast it sure does seem that way,

It looks like they'll be ahead, but those processors won't be released until September. I'm confident that AMD will answer back and regain their throne before long.

They are already on sale, but sold out in most places

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

more than 2 GB is BS, cuz it only uses 1.3 at highest, so with 4 GB u still dotn use more than 1.3 and u still dotn have any performance win dude

Re: ha fast pc = a big plus for you

Smart admins fix this by having the game pause 30 seconds before loading. but i don't care, more often than not, I'm first one on the map.
