  We recommend you use a joystick that connects to your computer
  via a USB port.

Thats what I hate about these new games. You need to have just bought your computer yesterday to support them. I just got a new computer last week and I can't use it because I have an onboard vid card. Angry

Half a gigabyte is just too much for a demo. As stated before, I'll stick to Joint Operations.

Having spent 5 hours solid on BF2 demo last night, I heartily disagree with you!

Just think how big the full game install will be!  Roll Eyes

The game runs great at medium - high settings, 1280x1024 2xQ AAA 4x AF  8)

64 player servers seem laggy to me though. Sad

I spent 8 hours solid on it yesterday, and have already gotten myself banned from 2 servers... Tongue

(apperantly I'm just too good with the aircrafts, I can shove them down the admin's throat with pinpoint precision Grin)

I think its rather smooth with 64 players...don't know about other people, my ping was 50, and i was base raping people with a M9 Grin

It's your kind of gamers that are ruining the fun for everyone else. You're just too cowardly to face your enemy. Instead, you're getting them when they're most vulnerable and annoyed. Candy-arse. Angry

Good Lord, the minimum specs include a 256mb video card?  Forget that.

And I certainly hope you're not using eDonkey for anything corrupt.  LOL

Birdman, the single player mode of Battlefield has always really just been for practice, thus you don't get banned for TK'ing or whatever through being a "newbie" Wink

The Bot AI is crap, actually, its far better in BF2 than BF1942, still crap tho imo.

BF2 is an On-Line game make no mistake about it.

I will reserve judgement, however I just enjoy
firing up BFvietnam and loading up a singleplayer mini war with 64bots and running round in my huey & making an assault on the ground. BF2 does not come close with the singleplayer, I suspect its just the map - not one id choose in any game but there is something about it.

Oh well - Guns oiled & cleaned - here I come multiplayer!.......

O'er the Hills and o'er the Main..............

Marick..........when they wrote up the info the X700 was probably the latest card out, yours hadn't been released yet!

I would say that your card will do just fine.  Wink
