    Thrilled and SO Excited!

    Wow, this is incredible. I'm finally going to be able to play BF2 online! Before I had 56k and would play with 53 bots on singleplayer, now on March 28 I'm getting high speed! I've never played online, and its about damn time I start. I had a kick-ass pc but never got to use it until now. Hard to believe but I think there is a large chunk of the community that hasn't even played bf2 even though they own it. I was talking to a friend who I didn't know owned the game, but has just been waiting to get a pc good enough to run his dorment copy. Anyways it has been a real long time since I got any patches, infact, (I think last October), and was wondering if you guys could fill me in on some informatoin I might need to know? The last patch I installed had Wake Island in it. I was wondering if you guys know if I have to install all the patches or just the latest one? Yep just checked, the latest patch I installed was 1.03, anyways if you guys could include some instructions and a link to the patches that would be great. Also, I'm no newb, and have had my share of flying helocopters under bridges, and killing handfuls, so If you know of any good clan, or you are in a clan that you think would be interested in taking me under your wing, post. See ya on the battlefield!

    Latest patch is 1.21, your best off to get the full 1.21 patch "not" the incremental.

    Welcome to the world of broadband and online gaming.

            Harsh but true, practise offline first please!
            LoL, I promise you I have practiced more offline than 97% of the bf2 community.

            To Collin:
            We'll see. I do know of other gamers not yet converted to dsl or cable, but it will just be a matter of time. In fact, I think the bf2 community is not done growing as many have yet to obtain high speed internet. Anyways, do any of you know of any great compeitive clans that head to competitions and such?

              By the sound of it he has plenty of SP practise.
              He sounds just like I did when I got highspeed internet September last year, that was my first time playing BF2 online.


              I never stopped. :p

                Lol yeah the bots are way too easy.. when I was practising in single player owning entire squads of bots with the handgun was a piece of cake.. whereas online trying that will get you your ass handed to you very very quickly

                The only thing you might find easier online is knifing people.. the bots are nigh on impossible to knife!

                Have fun and welcome to the world of online gaming

                  That's ALL he's been able to do, so far!
                  :p

                  Hehe, have fun with it. Don't worry about getting yer tail handed to you repeatedly for the first while. Try to form up with some good squads and watch what everyone is up to. You'll get your best pointers through observing the actions of others.

                      awesome...

                      glad to hear u have good news......

                      if u have single player experience, you should do fine....the patch changes some of your mobility, and some weapons...it might take some gettin used to..

                      you will be better off than ppl like me, who started playing online right after buying the game.....i was total noob, as opposed to the seasoned noob i am now...i had to learn the controls...how to use the classes roles....etc
