So, I played my first game of BF2 today

Re: So, I played my first game of BF2 today

And my god, I never knew it was soooo buggy.

I played for about 3 hours. During that time, I crashed the desktop twice. I had "there is a problem with your connection" 8 times. I eventually got sick and tired waiting for the server list to pop up again, so I added a couple of servers to my favourites. Apparently the Refresh button means Remove. I couldn't do anything but punish for a teamkill. It said 'page up' to forgive etc, no matter what I pressed, it punished the teamkiller, something that a couple of people didnt appreciate. For whatever reason, my team mates would sometimes be the wrong colour, ie red, and I got punished when I team killed. I even checked the scores after killing one guy who punished me, and it said he was on the other team. Then, ofcourse the opposite happened, bad guys coming up as a friendly colour.

I jumped in a blackhawk in one round, got behind the mini gun. I thought 'this will chew mofo's up' PFFFFFFFT!! Point blank I fired this little baby at a guy, and didnt kill him, he hit my once with a weapon, and I was dead. That was the final straw as I layed it into a couple of peeps as we were flying, and I didnt kill one of them.

Overall, it's a fun game. I eventually managed to get two full rounds going. Lost one by 2 tickets, so it was intense and great fun, but damn, all that for a little joy?

I also have another gripe/question. I want to use the same keys for player movement as I would for driving a vehicle. I use up for forward, and the keys for directions with no problems, but I want reverse to be the down key, but when I try to use that, it says it's already in use for common controls. Im assuming this is yet another bug, but is there anyway around it?

Why do think this wasn't your first game of BF2 and this is a rant that doesn't want flames?

Anyhow, welcome to the Battlefield. Full of bugs but so has every other EA game.

I've had the bug with friendlies showing up as enemies before, too. It actually happened twice, on the same guy, after logging off and logging back in on that server. Noone else but this one guy, who I ended up shooting twice because all I could see was a sillhoutte and a red name.

Re: So, I played my first game of BF2 today

what sucks worse is when YOU have the red/blue tag bug on yourself. You're like WTF??!?!? I'm trying to cap this flag, QUIT SHOOTING ME. LOL and then you finally get someone who cares to let you know you're redtagging...

IMO the thread starter is a liar - like hell it's his first time playing BF2 if he made a post like that
His first reaction would be either being blown away by the awesomeness or discouraged by the complexity, not I have noticed this, this and this issue that the community have flagged repeatedly

I was thinking the same.

You just have to learn to use the bug in your favor.

Cartillery owns for sniping whores.


Blackhawk nerfed?

Just fill it with C-4 it and fly to nearest troop concentration.


Missiles flying through your DVP/ FAV?

Run down the guys with your invisible buggy who are waiting for Jets and/or Helos.

That was exactly what I was thinking too ... to spot out so manny bugs from the first BF2 experience ... smells a bit like BS!! :laugh: :laugh:

Anyways ... I might help you witj the connection problems. Start the game, go to Options, Audio, and change it from Software to Hardware. That should fix the connection issues.

P.S.: On a funny add, I think this game was named wrong from the beggining, instead of Battlefield 2, should have been named BUGlefield 2. :laugh:

Re: So, I played my first game of BF2 today

Wow!! I'suprised your first post wasn't a "Help I just bought this game and it won't work!!!" post. If you were able to play when you first loaded, You doing a lot better then most.

BH MiniGuns= $hit
Name tag bug, It's been around for awhile
Jump on a lower ping server, That will help some of the lag.

Looking forward to tea-bagging you.

Re: So, I played my first game of BF2 today

Perhaps I should have said it was my first online game. I've played the single player for a couple of weeks, so I know how the basic game functions.

My awesome stats if anyone cares.

Re: So, I played my first game of BF2 today

I play the demo version of BF2 and those bugs/annoyances exist there also. You'd think they would have it fixed by now....

Re: So, I played my first game of BF2 today

I kinda gave up on this game.....

So you stuck around for the fourms? odd :P

Re: So, I played my first game of BF2 today

I've actually never heard about the bug of enemies turning up as blue. Maybe it was just you who was red to them?
Regarding the chopper incident ... the guy who got you just had a decent aiming skill, its not hard to take out even a Vodnik gunner firing off at you if you manage to get his head :)
Judging by the amount of problems you had, I agree with pYura, find low ping servers, try not to go over a ping of 100 though 20-50 is even more advisable.

I have met quite a few blue tagged enemies on patch 1.3, I thought he was my teammate at first then he came down the alleyway and killed me, right on the left top corner of the screen, it didn't say teamkill. i was like WTF???
