Battlefield 2
-
i don't think bf2 is quite the game that bf1942 is... at least, not yet. 1942 has more variations, looks just as good AND more people can play bf1942 (read: it's not as hungry for $$$ hardware).
i've played both, and i haven't touched bf2 since before school started -
The textures arent that impressive on BF2, your video card is important (greater then 24 pipelines, no need for S3.0 support) BF2 is extremely CPU/RAM intensive however. Due to some great encoding. As stated before, it's a broken game - COD2/F.E.A.R are FAR superior games.

do you know ANYTHING about computers and/or graphics cards? NOTHING on the market currently has more than 24 pixel pipelines, and the only one that does have 24 is the 7800gtx (can you say "i can build a pretty decent gaming computer for the price of one of those cards?). do you even know what s3.0 is? vertex or pixel? i am positive that 80+% of the people who buy graphics cards for their computers don't know what s3.0 is.
i haven't tried it yet, but i bet that i can put my agp 6600gt into a machine running an athlon 1700+ with 512mb ddr-ram and still play bf2, doom3, call of duty, warcraft 3, etc. what does that tell you? that most games aren't as processor intensive as you might think. in fact, the only thing that you need a fast processor for is loading quickly, or for serving a game to many players -
you can play any game on any computer. but if u like to fps lag around a map go ahead. i would love to see decent gaming coputer for 500. o and are any of u guys compettive or are u jsut a bunch of public server noobs, do u even know what CAL is get good then come talk to me kthx.

my computer was around $500 when i built it last year. ive upgraded since then, but it was originally a 2800xp processor, gig of pc3200 ram, 128mb geforce 6600gt, 60gb and 160gb hdds, cd drives, and whatever else. granted monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc were extra. you just gotta find good deals.
so what league are you in? open/invite/main? you dont have to be good to be in cal. in fact, most people really arent. ive personally been on public server scrim teams that have completely DESTROYED cal teams in quake 3 and ET.

give me 500 and i will build you something that can play any game on the market right now. like i said, bring your skills to a lan party one week and we'll see just how good you are. my initial argument is/was that you don't know anything about hardware... as well as it's implications in software. when i said that i could build a machine capable of playing any game available right now, i meant with a good framerate. i just built my own gaming machine for 600, and i PROMISE that it will walk all over your bestbuy pc that you paid $1k+ for.

EDITED OUT THE CRAP I AGREED WITHOk, so if I give you $500 you will build me a PC that will player EQ2 w/ all the settings maxed? If you're wrong do I get my $500 back? If so, I'm in...I'll even spot you the monitor, mouse, keyboard, & speakers

settings maxed... that will be dependent on the resolution of the monitor (ie my monitor maxes out at 1280x1024). besides that, i haven't played that game yet (i'm not a big fan of rpg's while i'm going to school full-time. i could build one that will play it though, unless it's more graphic-intensive than bf2... -

My monitor maxes out at 1600x1200, but thats beside the point. To date, noone has assembled a computer capable of playing EQ2 w/ everything maxed. Can I just have the computer and the $500 now please?
-
like i said, i doubt i can build something for 500 (short of jumping at risky used parts) that would handle the maximum settings of a game i've never played.
if it was really worth my time, i would acquire a copy of everquest 2 and play it to see just how horrendous the max settings at 1280x1024 (because 17" is what most people have) are and then start looking.tjamz wrote:

bah, like i'd be foolish enough to walk into something like that... -
heh, had to try.

i was in cal main theres no cal-i in cod uo.
tjamz im sure theres some guy out there with dual 7800gtx's fx 57 processor and like 4 gigs ram that could run it to its max.
out there i would come if u guys played games i play, i play little bf2 never played bf19whatever.
once u play one a really good computer youll understand why spending 2000 dollers on a computer is worth your time and money. once u spend 60+ hours a week online playing games youll understand why it worth the extra money. -
battlefield 2 is a carbon-copy of 1942, but with less mods available... hence, 1942 is better at this point.
once i spend 60+ hrs/week??? basically, you're telling me that you know more about computer hardware than someone that found the cisco networking academy boring?
i've been tinkering with computers since before you learned how to type.
ever used a pc with less than a mb of ram?
how about a pc with a processor slower than 33mhz?
what about being overjoyed when you got a pc with a modem faster than 14.4?
how many computers have you assembled without any outside assistance?
how many people come to you when they can't get online at school?
how many people come to you before they go shopping for a computer?
do you know what a dot-matrix printer is?
why do athlons use less power than pentiums?
what does sd-ram stand for?
ever used sd-ram?
what is an ide device?
what does ide stand for?
ever seen a crt?
do you know what a crt is?
do you know what binary language is?
would you laugh if you read: "there are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't"?
do you know what ip stands for?
do you know what a router does?
a switch?
a hub?
what is a mac address?
do you know your mac address?
do you know your ip address?
do you know how to figure it out?
what does ms-dos stand for?
do you know any ms-dos commands?
ever used any operating system other than windows?
can you name 2 operating systems other than windows?
how many more times do i have to make you feel stupid by asking you questions that you can't answer?back to the matter at hand: tell me what your pc has to offer and we'll compare

Extremely stupid questions have been omitted. People think there smart when they got A+.......you can get it out of a cracker jack box now.
1 - Ok first off, WHICH generation of athlons, slot, socket base, Prescott core Intel Pentiums etc. IN general the Athlons run less core voltage then that of the Intel brethern. However Palomino cores (because of a long pipe line branch predicting tree, FAS support and 1.7 core voltage) did run less then that of even the barton cores.
2- Synchro Dynamic Random Access Memory
3- - Another stupid question.
4- Integrated Disk Electronics, or in current generation (exception of SATA standrard) EIDE - platform introduced by IBM to eliminate the bottlenecks of the constricted ISA bus that was originally used for devices such as Hard Drives, Optical Drives etc.
5- See above
6 - Cathode Ray Tube
7 - Base 2 Mathetmatic system that all computers are based of, in contrast to our base 10 math of numbers 0-9, Binary utilizes a base 2 mathematic scale of 0 and 1, along with the conjunction of standard IEEE form programming standard AND IF OR BUT NOR, etc.
would you laugh if you read: "there are 10 kinds of people in this world, those
well lets figure it out, pretty easy to do binary, understand once again it is a base 2 system that factors down, so each number with a designated "1" would represent that value, in orders like so....also mind you that this is a factoring scale, remember to right to left not the traditional left to right.
1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024, and therefore
and in your very old lame joke 10 would = in binary language = 0+2 = 2.
7 - Internet Protocol
8 - A "smart switch" that has the ability to direct and designate packets over a TCP/IP network - also with the capability of packet collision detection. Able to utilize varying LAN IP's to designate 1 WAN IP.
9 - Directs traffic LAN only - with packet collision technique, able to be "smart" enough to direct which pakcets should go where using redundancy techniques.
10 - same thing as switch, except sends packets out to each unit simutaneously.,
11 - Physical Network address of your NIC. Alpha numeric address designating the location of your NIC in the particular LAN network.
12 - And should I tell you? IPConfig/all for the win
13 - I have a better question, tell me when TRUE MS-Dos was introduced?
14 - Red Hat, Fedora, Unix, shall I go on?
You have to be a genius to get your CCNA/A+ don't you now a days?
