After lots of thread's and post's i came to the conclusion that EA did a good job once again. Yesterday i downloaded the BF2 demo. And i thought i would not have a problem at all since my system spec is ok but Ti4200 is NOT SUPORTED. It play's HL2, Doom3. Perfectly. But it wont even start up BF.
Now if people vote here : http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=688
Then there is a chance that they will suport in more card's because
this just looks like bs to me. And maybe they will get there attention of the thousands of Geforce 4 Ti Users that are not able to run this game. And not only this game maybe the next game they release will not suport this cards aswell. So vote for Ti please

The demo doesn't work with Ati cards.. it just crashes back to desktop on startup.

Well, did you update drivers and stuff? there is threads and stuff to find out what driver you need for your card. If you have a card from 8500 till now then it should work.
I know its a demo, but for a demo this is buggy as hell, and this is realy show EA is just for the quick money. But they forget that alot of people still use The Geforce 4 cards. So they are losing alot of costumers.

Don't blame EA for all the problems, blame DICE. This is their third Battlefield game and they still haven't fixed anything. All the problems that were in Battlefield 1942 are still in Battlefield 2.
WHATEVER, FAGGOT

We were expecting a lot from it, but overall, it was a huge disapointement.
I have to say, Battlefield 2 is a failure like most games that had been released by EA and its sub-studios since the middle of 2004.
Ever since Dice got bought by Electronic Arts all they produced was shit, to be frank.
Battlefield: Vietnam being the first game of the series to suck, with its broken promises and major bugs... Now, we're in 2005, and there are two upcoming releases of the Battlefield franchise to be released by EA, Battlefield 2, and Battlefield: Modern Combat, which is going to be the first game on the franchise to be on the home gaming consoles.
So yeah, let me sum up this preview of the full game Dice has given us.
Graphically, I couldn't really say it's not pretty, but due to hardware restrictions, which are major (*cough* sponsorship *cough*) in every way possible, the game looks like... Ass. It's not the base requierements that bother me the most, but really the restrictions. Then, there are the resolutions... Unlike in many other games, they are not restricted by the hardware, but by the engine, I must say that this was one of the problems I had with Battlefield: Vietnam, not being able to fully experience the game graphically. Result? Graphics end being poor and non-cripsy, aka: not interesting. Dice pretends they have made a new graphics engine for Battlefield 2, and the more I'm playing, they more I'm doubting, just look at the distance limitations! TRY TO FLY A PLANE WITHOUT FINDING YOURSELF LOADING TERRAIN GRAPHICS, the drawing distance limitations were even better in Battlefield 1942 for fucks sake, hence why I think that they just modded the existing engine and nothing else.
Sound? Didn't really have issues with it, as long as the hardware renders it it should sound good/great. What's laughable is that Creative is a 'sponsor' and most of their existing hardware is listed as incompatible.
Gameplay, I must say that the new 'fragdoll' physics give it a nice twist, but unlike in games like Counter-Strike: Source or Far Cry, you'll never end up seeing dead bodies in funny positions. (There's a TINY learning curve for original Battlefield 1942/Desert Combat users, mainly due to the physics again.) The controls are well located, the AI seems to be quite familiar (BF:V + i.e.: bots crashing thei H1s into M1A2s if they're in the way, then realising a minute later that its in the way and they should take another path (seriously)), plus they didn't include a 32 players(+) Single Player version of the map given in the demo, telling me that they still haven't found a way to get the bots to fly properly (now that some planes are working differently).
I haven't had the chance to try the Commander mode again, so I can't really comment on the RTS part of the game, apart from that the whole gameplay is pretty much like Battlefield 1942's but better. The addition of voice chat like in most FPS nowadays was a good thing, too bad it's more compressed than Valve's own 'version'. Oh, almost forgot about the balance, again they're still having the same issues they had with Battlefield: Vietnam when it was released (i.e.: underpowered weapons and over powered one), and yeah that's about it, most sides seem to be equal.
Overall I don't think it's worth buying, unless they do MAJOR improvements in the next 2 weeks or so, because it's going to end up being another piece of shit like Battlefield: Vietnam.

I've played the demo today, and I quite like it at the moment. Although aircraft are fuck hard to fly, with practice it should become better although I find it very hard to hit ground targets in a jet. They need to extend the draw distance as well, because the current draw distance doesnt allow you to aim at aircraft fast enough as soon as you see them. Helicopters are harder to fly. The first time I tried to fly one, I managed to go upwards fine, but then I tried to turn left and flipped over and crashed into the aircraft carrier :/
Graphics wise its alright. I can run everything at max settings with my X800 Pro with absolutely no problems at all and great frame rates all the time. But things could look better.
Overall I like the game, and I might buy it when it is released. I have never played any of the other battlefield games, so I wont know of any of the problems or bugs that were in the last ones, but it seems good so far.
