New to BF2

[reliefwithbeef]

hey guys I'm new to this game, Ive only raked in about 6 hours game time so far. I'm getting a new computer in a months time so I will be on alot more. Just wondering how you rank up in the game, is it similar to the ranking system in CoD 4/ WaW? as in you get points for kills and flag captures etc.
Thanks

Same as CoD4 just a sh*tload harder...

The rank system is similar in BF2, but it will take you much longer to rank upwards in BF2. The point increments are pretty large, but it adds a lot of replay value to the game, especially with new kit unlocks as you rank. There are also badges and ribbons you can get for doing specific tasks.

Get a friend to play a round of Special Forces on your account, it gives you 2 unlocks per rank and lets you access the SF unlocks.

Its definatly good to see new players to this 'old' game. Definatly get SF if only to play Ghost town and Warlord and get the extra unlocks.

Catch you on the battlefield :)

I bought BF2 deluxe, which has SF included, all the same disk. Can't play it for a month though! As I need to await my super big payment so I can get my computer! Do any you use www.palicomp.co.uk? Is it to be trusted? check it out thanks.

Never heard of them but looking at there comps they are not to bad for kit or price.

Thats exactly what I wanted to hear, did you pay via debit card? Here's the computer I'm getting :- http://www.palicomp.co.uk/Carbon_AMDBase_Customize.html
Will that be good for BF2?
Thanks guys

Re: New to BF2

Always pay by Credit Card for large purchase, if you can, there are more safeguards if the company goes bust, decides not to deliver it or it isn't what you asked for.

No, that graphics card is pretty awful and will most likely not play BF2, or if it does, it will be at 10fps...

Hey Alex remember Edward1983 or whatever from that OCN thread?

2.6Ghz Per Core = 5.2Ghz TOTAL POWER

Re: New to BF2

Its a nice base comp but you WILL need to buy a graphics card and there prices are a rip off for them.

They want 190 for a 9800gtx when you can get a 9800GTX+ at Ebuyer for £132.11 inc

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/158532

Or a GT260 with 216 cores for £207

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/155104

Build it yourself

Case £28

X2 7750 £68.44

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/155158

OR CHEAPER

X2 5200 £51.01

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135662

ASUS M3A78 PRO 780G £67

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150949

OCZ 4gb pc6400 £37.03

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124733

Sony dvd RW inc nero £16:56

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/151827

Roughly £255 with the more powerful chip and in built graphics that will spank the 8100 chipset everywhere. Double the ram and OCZ quality. NO os though and to get decent frame rates you will still need a dedicated graphics card im afraid.

Vista SP1 OEM £70

first of all, hey welcome, 2nd of all, i suggest you don't get into BF2, its not a friendly game, and will suck hours from your life for you to eventually turn around and look at it and think, WTF was i thinking, BF2 good game, poor engine, and don't get me started on the players...

Once you get all the unlocks, theres nothing to fight for.
