    what type of resolution u guys r using????

    my game lags at 1024x768 but doesnt at 800x600 at medium settings. got two gigs of ram. ati mobility 9600 which runs games like cs:source and hl2 pretty good. got 3.0 ghz processor. and 80 gigs of hard drive. my internet speed is 3 mbps then what is the problem that whenever i change the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 it starts lagging???

    hummm, sounds like you have a genuine problem there man...i run at 1024x768 without a problem and all i have is a AMD sempron 3000+ (2.2Ghz), ATI Radeon x700, and 1.5Mb of ram....so im not quite sure, your rig seems better than mine...is your card 128mb or 256mb?

      1280x960 HIGH detail EVERYTHING and 4X AA... looks fairly good... could be better though...

        Your running a mobility card, which means your using a laptop. If you only have a 15" monitor it might be why.

          you know, i have a 22 inch monitor and 800x600 or 1024x768 doesnt fill my screen so im using 1152x864 to fill the screen and yes my performance is slowed by this.

            If your using a 22 inch monitor you should force it to 1600x1200. I've heard at that res you don't need AA, but I haven't tryed it.

                The graphics card is the killer there. And as most people have said, you have a notebook computer, which is not built for gaming (no matter how much you think it is).

                  i got me a 21" trinitron (and old dell from ebay but it has served me well and still looks big) my question is, there are various resolutions available but is there a "sweet" spot... a better resolution than the others?

                    I have a 19" LCD from ViewSonic, and I'm running 1280x1024, full settings.

                          Ati 9600 is the main reason you have to run 800x600. It's a slow card with only 4 pipelines. BF2 is a MAJOR resource hog and really doesn't run well on anything but the fastest graphic cards.
