  • create internet server

    What is the deal with creating internet servers????
    All I want to do is create a server (not ranked or whateva) so that me and a friend can play over the internet, how do i go about doing this?

    What is a dedicated server, is that only for LAN or can any person join it over the net.

    What are these things you can download called bf2 dedicated server for windows or something.

    Just wtf?

    Re: create internet server

    You will need to do a couple of things:

    1) Download and install the Windows Battlefield 2 server (http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/pat...d_2_Server.exe)
    2) Download and install the update (http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/pat...Patch_1.41.exe)
    3) Start up the server and look at the port number (16567 by default). You will need to open this port on your router so your friend can access your server.
    4) Just give your friend your IP and type that into the "Connect to IP" box from the multilayer screen. Make sure he can connect before you launch BF2.

    I would recomend running the server on another machine because unless you're got a killer rig, you're going to see some performance decreases during game play.

    Hope this helps.

    Edit: I think there's a way to do this without install the server. DOH! Just both of you join a public server and be done with it.
