Actually the file ending on the BF2 demo is a zip so I *shouldn't* screw anything up. But I still can't use WinRAR b/c Ima nub.

now this winrar takes awhile to do..just let it sit for a couple of minutes
BTW...This game is beautiful
What a kick butt game. Sorry Al even if I sent you my old GForce4Ti 4200 you wouldn't be able to play. Everyone needs to upgrade as this game has set the bar. The way they did team speak is really cool. Each squad talks to each other. Then the squad leaders can talk to the commander (who by the way is a really kick butt position to hold). I especially like the way that when you die you lay on the ground until you resawn and a medic can heal you right there and back up you go and that if you do respawn you can respawn on your squad leader so your always sticking together as a team. A cool scenario was when Toby was squad leader driving an M1 tank and when they killed me sticking out the top gunners spot I respawn right back into the tank with Toby. Then Mike tells me that crouching while in the top of the tank will make you get down into it. That's a handy piece of info. Artilerry is awesome the vehicles are great and the game play is unreal. This will definately be a game I play a lot of. For me the best is hooking it up to my61 HDTV and flying around. I will take a pic and show you guys. It ROXORS the BOXORS!
I can't get the demo to work. I installed it fine but when I go into the game I get to a point where I pick singleplayer or multiplayer but as soon as I click on anything my whole computer locks up. Even control-alt-delete won't take me to taskmanager, I have to use my power button to restart my computer. I just updated my drivers thinking that would be the case but it still locks up on me.

i had a problem not being able to bind certain keys, even tho they were not being used, i found the fix, i thought it may be helpful for others:
Quote:
Okay finally here's how to remove all those "phantom" bound keys that you can't unbind within BF2.
Go to
My Documents\Battlefield 2 Demo\Profiles
Open up Global.con
Note which profile it's using (I Default, 0001 and 0002 and mine was set to 0002)
Open up Controls.con
If you look at the top line for each subsection, it says Infantry, Land, Air, Helicopter, Sea, and Default. Each is pretty self explanatory with the exception of Default. I believe this is what ingame calls "Common".
The bound key is at the end of the line
IDKey_Key Name Here
Delete the whole line of the occupied keys you want to change. OR Change it to an unused key of your choice. Some of them were probably taken out last minute (like Left Alt was set to Toggle 3D Map but there is no way to change that ingame. and X is set for Flare in Sea. Can you even fire a flare in a boat? I never tried.)
Save the file.
Now you can bind them ingame.
Enjoy
here is another one for speeding up the booting of the demo, by getting rid of the intro movies:
Instead of deleting them, I just renamed them and put a .bak extention on the end. just a suggestion.Quote:
If you don't like all those intro BS movies.
Go To your BF2 Demo directory -> Mods -> BF2 -> Movies
And you can delete all of the movies(however I would reccomend keeping the menu and menu login ones)
No more stupid splash screens starting up the game.
Your still the man Onji.

This game is sick! Finally worked for me and I got to play for 15 mins and WOW. Freakin awsome, now I'm gonna have to buy this game.
this game is awesome. what server yall playing in?
jump in teamspeak when you get ready to play, there is usually someone in there. thats how we coordinate which server we're going to play on
Onji, I found that fix you posted last night. I was telling everyone that I couldn't bind certain keys and they probably thought I was crazy but I wasn't. I swear... lol
I found this posted on some other forums. This is for those that dont have the demo yet, and are wondering how their system will run the game etc.

well crap...my joystick wont register except for forward and left...so i go up, and to the left and keep going up and to the left....grr...any ideas?
well i looked at the key mapping in the control.con file and i see the lines, only thing is, i dont know how to tell it to set the correct pitch and roll.
These are the two commands that are bound:
first forward pitch
and now roll to the leftQuote:

I have teamspeak now so I'm ready to play some online. I've tried to create an account 3 times with zero results. How long does it take to create an account? I've left it alone for 5 to 10 minutes but nothing changes on the screen and there are no servers for me to join.
It did the same thing to me ex....I closed it down all together then tried again and it said that email and pass where already in use. so I just put in my password and there it was. don't know if this will help but that is what happened to me
