Glad to see the patch was not actually a lie but still…

I mean, I had to check I still had BF2 on my computer ~~

Widescreen support? Welcome to 2002!

Oh dear.

I’ve been playing BF2 since day one ( BF:V and Desert Combat mod for BF:1942 before ) and I guess I should have known btter from EA when they say they’re going to improve a game by patching it.

1.50 patch for BF2 pretty much screws up the game.

The hitboxes, ‘improved’ in the patch, are still wildly out making aiming an even more lottery than before.

The other stuff is great ( free Euro forces and Armoured Fury expansions, new map and inclusion of Highway IntelCPUadvertising, Widescreen fix, prone deviation to stop the proners, F35′s improved etc etc ), but the hitbox problem has ruined it for me.

RO is probably objectively better than BF2, but BF2 is just so boombastic with the fighter jets and helicopters. I consider Project Reality the best of both worlds. I can call in a laser guided bomb and still keep the brutality of war.

BF2 had bots added maybe a year after release. Its by no means the best way to play however. Maybe the vietnam ai was better.

I take it they still haven’t stuck multiplayer vs bots then? 4 humans vs 16 bots in Vietnam or BF1942 was always awesome…

I been playing 1943 on XBLA. Its fun but it needs a patch badly. You start a game with mates to be in the same squad only to be put in opposite teams…. The weapons need more balancing as well. Plus other shit that I can’t think of now. Maybe we are the guinea pigs for the PC version.

Bah! I only just bought quake wars – I don’t have any more room for online shooters.

Is Titan mode consigned to the scrapheap of history?

Have any of you tried Red Orchestra? I’m not going to ‘diss’ the BF series but I much prefer RO.

Aside from Valve’s games I can’t think of any other multiplayer game that has defined the early 2000 FPS.
