    The BF2 executable appears to freeze up the entire system in the process of logging in, which also includes ALT-F4. On my system, anyway...

    What essentially happens is you're stuck waiting regardless, which f*cking sucks. I'd really love to know why the hell it has to jam the pc like that.

        It isn't just your PC. If I accidentally hit the Play Now button, it's faster for me to do a hard reset as opposed to waiting for it to not find a server. With people on weaker systems, it might be faster to just wait, but if I do a hard reset I can be back in BF2 in about a minute. The Play Now button always takes about 3 minutes and never puts me in a server, anyhow. I can hit Play Now and reset on my both of my decent machines at the same time, and the one I reset is ready to join another server around the same time as the one where I hit Play Now. One is in my system link to the left, the other has a 4400 X2, 2GB RAM, and 8600GT. So even my backup is a solid system in BF2 land.

            Like the posters above me said, it freezes the system. Which is absolutely ridiculous.

Some people live in remote areas, and make do with pings higher than 150. Let those people give it a little more time to search for more servers. Many other games have this filter, including a few that came out even before BF2.
                What on earth prevents you from using the current ping filter? Just type the max ping you want to have in the ping filter. It's been there since 1942.

                    Little trick, press ctrl-alt-delete. You wont see the window never mind. Then hit the windows key and 'l' 's' to being you back to the switch user screen (bf2 will still be running). click back on your profile name and then you will see the ctrl-alt-del box and close down bf2.

                        They should give us an option to change the corsair color in vehicles, I hate that in dragon valley you cant see the corsair against the background...

                                    I'd like to add another suggestion to the table.....


                                    Please add a line of code that says:
                                    'if player is rank above #2 (Private First Class) then set audio how-to guide 0'

                                    Welcome to duty General hairy. Thank you for re-installing the game. While you were gone, some things have changed. See that radar dish looking thing? That's the satellite scan dish, it belongs to your team. That UAV trailer thing - thats the UAV trailer thing, it too belongs to your team. When running, you can sprint short distances. Bet you didn't know that!

                                    etc... etc...

                                    I don't know whats worse - having to go through the installation and patching of the game or having to listen to the mandatory how to audio guide every single time.

I know you can do it the other way around and filter out the vehicle servers, but when you want a vehicle server you have to sift through a bunch of craptacular IO servers before you find one (or, I guess, just sort by map and skip all the Karkand servers, heh).

                                            Agreed; it's way too hard to find the two remaining Karkand vehicle servers.

                                                        You know what they really need to do to jeeps?

                                                        Remove the giant target that lights up whenever a jet looks your way. They did the right thing with the boats; they don't have 'em.
