      How many test servers are there? I can only find 4, and they are always empty. Is there a test server that is populated a lot of the time? If so, can someone gimme the IP?
      Thanks.

          Everything working fine now. It was the latest Symantec Firewall update. No surprise there...

            it's 5:41pm here, and all I can find are 4 servers, all from UK, numbers 7,8,9, and 10.
            I've applied various filters, but cant find more than these 4 servers. I would really like to try the beta!

              Tbh, I think the whole 'infantry only' idea for BF2 is a bit stupid.. Why? because I find the BF2 engine not really suited for a infantry only based type of gameplay.. movement is a bit floaty, and netcode and hitdetection is a bit vague at times to say the least.. Imho it then turns into a bad version of Counterstrike..

              It speaks for itself you're better of playing CS:Source or something if you enjoy infantry only type of gameplay..

              BF2 should stick to what it does best, vehicles..

                I really haven't been playing BF2 much lately. Went back to BF1942 and was having a lot more fun. I'll probably just wait for the official patch.

                  true, but you do have a choice as to which gameplay you want to play.

                      Can anyone confirm on better FPS rates? Or did they just go lower?

                          I found a glitch, I was trying to cap the palace on RtJ map and the flag stayed in one spot, i couldnt cap it, an enemy was capping the base, but i got him, but when nobody was there besides me, and to prove that i ran out of the base cap area but the flag wasnt going up or back down to neutral. Then an enemy tank came and capped it...

                          Also i read the Read Me First document and i was just skimming through it so i didnt quite get the undo installation bit. *cry's*

                          Now the unlocks have to be available on a ranked server, a new requirement to have a ranked server

                              Its ok. I like the new map, and the AA is awesome :P Also the no vehicles is an interisting addition.

                              One thing I hate though is that they keep tweaking the infantry. We have to keep adapting. I for one do not want to wait two seconds to shoot when coming up from behind a box or something when the enemy could just kill me right when I come up. Are they really thinking these through?

                              If people want to bunnyhop let them. I had no problem killing them. If people want to dive behind a box, or dive anywhere. Let them. I have never seen a game change so much just from patches. This new wait to shoot after getting up is annoying...
