[MilkMan12]

This is the thread to post all NEW (dont post old crap) Videos. NEW Interviews if any come out...NEW previews...NEW screens and NEW Reviews (could be from anywhere). You can also post things that may not be new but no one has seen or read.

Ill start off with something AmishSlayer found...it was not me.

New link for that 610 mb vid. I'm getting 800KB - 1MB/sec on it with IDM :)

[Alan Freeman]

Forbidden didnt work :(
Has anyone seen it yet

[MilkMan12]

Link broken. Is it a good video?

[Mr. Redundant]

aint working for me either Amish

[AmishSlayer]

Watching it now. The first 5-10 min are pretty much just talking. I'm like 18 min in right now. It's not first person action and like I said before it's shakycam (good shakycam though).

The action is being watched by someone observing in free-look and some chasecams.

I forgot that the Blackhawk is in this game. I'm gonna cart people around in that a lot :)

A guy dropped a couple men on the roof of a tall building. One was sniping and the other jumped off parachuting to the ground before running off with a buddy to capture a control point :)

EDIT: Parachutes can be activated a lot quicker in this game so a 30 ft drop wont be lethal.

EDIT2: I hear the link is dead from too much traffic :( Looks like the links in the original post are the only ones right now.

lol, an enemy medic passed a critically injured us soldier and dropped a med pack just to taunt him :P

[MilkMan12]

Oh my God this website ****ing sucks. It started out at 150kb/s and is dropping 5 kb/s every half a second lol. I usually get like 700 kb/s on fileplanet. This sucks dude...I have a cable modem. It finally leveled out at 70kb/s. Im sure 56k would be at .2kb/s right now lol.

Update: Lmao i just tried to redownload it...it started at 3000kb/s and is going down and now just stopped at 100kb/s. Does anyone know why downloads do that? Like start high then keep dropping like crazy?

[Mr. Redundant]

mirrors for the 610 can be found at

just another opinion on the 610mb video, it's worth the DL imo, shows some awesome combat.

How's the 610mb video Amish? I've still got an hour to go :(

[AmishSlayer]

How's the 610mb video Amish? I've still got an hour to go :(

I liked it. After skipping 5-10 min of talking (which I can't understand :() they move onto Gulf of Oman in observer mode (which I was glad to see - I'm getting tired of first person views all the time). They always keep the camera flying around to good action. The game looks like it can get pretty hectic because maps are designed tighter now rather than the huge open spaces of El Alamein. I love flying choppers and I particularly liked a short bit where a Blackhawk flew in to a tall building dropping off a couple men (come to think of it...I think my earlier post has this part :P...yep)

Anyways. After Gulf of Oman they move onto another map and talk about more stuff. Near the end of the video it gets boring because they actually have a guy playing but he hardly does anything. Although it does unveil the fact that Commander can have a different kit (such as engineer, spec ops, etc) which I'm happy about.

[Mr. Redundant]

cool thing I noticed in that video, is the awesome climbing animation.

when you climb a ladder he mounts and dismounts at top and bottom, but you can hop off whenever you like..... looked very impressive (especially when you are used to models flying up laders with no animation)

[Alan Freeman]

Yeah the video is a def download very cool stuff. I love it when the guy gets blown 100 feet in the air LOL

[KoreBolteR]

55 mins left

That is probably the best ladder animation I've seen to date.

That guy went FLYING in the air. That was pretty sweet :)

Does anyone have any good mirrors?

I have an awesome internet connection this should not be going so slow. I just downloaded something very large and it took me like 1 minute.

I downloaded it at the same rate, and I too have a great connection (512/512)
just gotta be patient Im afraid, imo the vid is worth the wait.

[Jimmeh]

Wow, great vid. They did have the graphics set lower though :(

EDIT: BF2 has some really really nice animations :D

starting to watch it now....

damn i have to get up early tomoro........

ah well

How do you know the graphics were set to low jimmeh could be who knows.
anyone know what specs they were usin

[AmishSlayer]

How do you know the graphics were set to low jimmeh could be who knows.

I could tell the gfx were lowered some by the textures but I'm not sure if it was med or low.

wtf?

I just deleted a bf2 vid and the divx installer (I put them in the recycle bin - this comp at work doesn't have divx)... but when I went to empty the recycle bin it says, "Are you sure you want to delete 'WINDOWS'?"

Then I opened the recycle bin and nothing shows in there, not even anything hidden...yet it still gives me the 'WINDOWS' thing. I tried deleting it (knowing that nothing real bad could happen, and if somehow it did...oh noes...I can't work) but it of course gives me the error saying I can't delete it...

[MilkMan12]

It finished after a day...and it was worth it. Its a very cool video. Im really looking forward to this game.

[Jimmeh]

How do you know the graphics were set to low jimmeh could be who knows.

You could tell they were set low or medium in some places as the textures were low res in some places like the abrams and the ground, whereas in other maps they all looks fantasticly bump-mapped :D Plus no shadows :p It still looked great though, that video has really hyped me up!

[NikolaX]

Yeah, cool video! When they first started playing, I noticed that they didn't have shadows on. Oh well, it still looked very very fun.

It's the HUD.

Altitude, speed, heading, targeting info, which way your gunner is looking. All helpful stuff :)

i dont know if this was posted here, but here you go.
btw Battlefield supports Creative X-Fi !! cool.
check this post made by same Taiwan guy who did those new screens.

We also had test another PC with AMD64 , 1G ram , GF6600GT.
According to the nV 77.30 driver, I supposed that it's optimize for BF2.
It runs smooth with high graphic settings, better than nV 71.xx

So, I suppose that GF6600GT has the best C/P Ratio WOW.

I'd say it's because you've had an information/media overload of BF2. Now the last thing left is to play the damn game. We know so much about this game there's hardly anything left to learn which kinda takes away from the hype.

I don't care though, I sill can't wait :D

The BFTV feature sounds like it's only server-side but you can choose to d/l the file at the end of each round. You cannot record singleplayer games because they are not dedicated server games.

EDIT: A bit of new media as well. Low Detail movies at IGN for those out there that don't have the powerhouse rigs to get medium or high.

awesome thanks a ton Amish, you seem to always be on the forefront of BF2 media, even when I sit there refreshing all the BF2 related sites all day... which makes me wonder how much more dedicated could I possibly be!?

lol, I just happen to check at the right times. Either that or I'm at work with absolutely nothing to do but refresh sites.

I'd say I spend about a couple hours a day just searching up info for games I'm looking into when they're this close to release. This is only during summer though when I have very little to do when all my friends are at classes or work and whatnot.

EDIT: More updates.

Join 24.86.30.104:8767 teamspeak server. I don't know all the details but there's some guy in here answering a bunch of questions. It's all regulated, you have to pm an admin of a channel to have a question asked. It sounds legit and I'm listening to it now.

IGN has some new vids up that show the game on low settings. Still looks great. <LINK> (http://media.pc.ign.com/media/677/677882/vids_1.html?fromint=1)

IGN FAQ, most of the stuff we know, if not all, but meh... might be some who don't

yay

Q: What about this Commander Mode I keep hearing about, where one player can see the whole map and stuff and order people around?

A: Well, one player will be voted as Commander, and he'll have to divide his time between playing the FPS portion of the game and the top-down Commander map. In this mode, you can order airstrikes, do a radar sweep of the whole map (the results of which only the Commander can see), fly in a drone spy plane that temporarily reveals local activity to all players on that side, drop supplies, and set markers for locations you want attacked or defended.

yay, voted in :D

Thanks, hadnt seen that and learned some new stuff.

http://www.gamecloud.com/article.php?article_id=258

Gamecloud - After the release of the game are there any near-future plans for expansion packs or free official maps?

Ben Smith - With Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam, we released a number of updates with new features, vehicles, weapons and full maps. There were also two expansion packs built for Battlefield 1942. We are committed to support Battlefield 2 in the same way that these titles were supported. Well be able to speak more in detail about these plans after Battlefield 2 hits shelves.

Gamecloud - How does the new ammo penetration in the game affect how players operate on the battlefield?

Ben Smith - Basically, certain materials are penetrable to gun fire, meaning you can shoot players through a wind shield with most weapons or even penetrate the bullet-proof glass of an attack helicopter cockpit with a high caliber round. There are also tin-sided fences that players can be shot through (assuming you know that they are lurking behind).

Q: Can I bunny hop all over the place?

A: Nah, it's more of a Counter-Strike setup. More realistic movement, although I have had people do a jump-dive combo on me a few times. Some people think they're Spider-Man. Then I blow them up with a grenade.

yeah I love that they tweaked the infantry combat, I can't wait to play this game damnit!

one thing that REALLY bothers me about screens I have seen....
http://media.pc.ign.com/media/677/677882/img_2846315.html
they could have used more than 5 polygons for the damn bullets on the M249 that looks horrendous. what an eyesore. what in the hell were they thinking? next gen my ass, lol

Maybe that's because they will move if you fire?

[Mr. Redundant]

that's no excuse, none at all.
I haven't seen low polly bullets on a gun like that since... since freaking OPfor for Hl1.
Look at CS:S bullet chain on their Machine gun, looks good and moves.
it's not really a bother to me though, I don't plan on playing support... it just simply boggles my mind that something so visual (something that is seen at all times on the gun) was something they decided to cut polys on...

I mean look at these bullets from the previous version... it's BF:V for crying out loud.

http://www.planetbattlefield.com/imagebfv.asp?/bfv/game/armory/nvaweapons/nvaweapons/nvarpd.jpg
and on the M60 from the same game:

http://www.planetbattlefield.com/imagebfv.asp?/bfv/game/armory/usaweapons/weapons/m60.jpg

both guns had moving bullets, and brilliant animations.

compare those old models from BF:V to the "new" one in BF2

http://media.pc.ign.com/media/677/677882/img_2846315.html

You're right. And they're not even round. Square bullets ....

[Axyon]

This game is far from next-gen, the only thing that really looks quite nice are the player models. Everything else is rather standard.

[Mr. Redundant]

here is an illustration of what I mean, for those who don't see it. (although I can't see how you could miss it)

and yeah Axyon, it's not by far, I know.. they just refer to themselves as having a next gen engine in a lot of interviews, so I was poking fun.

http://img155.echo.cx/my.php?image=icky2tb.jpg
it's just so glaringly low poly, it's something modelers used to do way back in quake 1 and Hl1... to conserve polys, this is simply mind boggling.

to some it might mean nothing, but to a modeler it will be instantly irritating.

[Shakermaker]

http://img155.echo.cx/my.php?image=icky2tb.jpg

Wrong!

You're right, it really is a step back.

Those pics are from an old build tho. Maybe they've perfected them now?

[Mr. Redundant]

you don't Unwrap a model, then texture it, then model it.

the model is completed first, and then you unwrap it (make the skin template on which a texture artist creates the texture) and then it is skinned.
unless something has changed, it's a bother to go back and change geometry after the other steps as it creates errors in the UVWmesh/skin.

the only excuse would be is if the model was a placeholder, and no in all videos and screens I have seen, it's the same.

I meant to mention this long ago, but I was swept up in the rumors of demo release.

that pic I posted is not an old build, it's from the set of latest IGN pics, but feel free to look at any pics of the gun, they are the same.

[Burn]

Cant say that would bother me..

[Datrix]

The less polygons, the better. (well for me atleast)

[Shakermaker]

that pic I posted is not an old build, it's from the set of latest IGN pics, but feel free to look at any pics of the gun, they are the same.

I scrolled thru a couple of pic-pages on TotalBF2.com, but I could only find square bullets on machine-guns.

[Mr. Redundant]

even the turret on a tank has good looking ammo

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/battlefield2/screens.html?page=281

it must have been an oversight.. or even a model that was built for an old build of BF2 that never was redone.

[jimbo118]

Cant say that would bother me..
Same here, rather minuscule detail tbh.

[Mr. Redundant]

Same here, rather minuscule detail tbh.
as I said, most people will not notice, but if you are a modeler/even the least amount of modeling knowledge, this is glaringly wrong.. and really aesthetically displeasing.


think of it this way, if you have good grammar and spelling and it takes no effort on your part to take that little bit of extra time and effort to ensure your grammar and spelling are correct.

then seeing someone who simply has 400 word sentences, spelling mistakes everywhere, etc.... and english being their primary language.
it might not bother a lot of people, but it's going to bother you, it's such a simple thing to take care of.


as for people who want less polygons on their weapons, that's fine.. however there is/should be a geometry option for those who need performance and would gladly sacrifice graphics... I am not one of those people.
having square bullets opposed to round ones seem to greatly detract from my immersion.

[Jimmeh]

Well let's just hope that they were placeholders, Everyone has five/six-week old copies. Either that or "M249 Bullet Chain Detail" was set to Low.

;)

The FX range are rather poor, especially the lower-end ones. You're probably looking at low details, medium if you're lucky with absolutely no chance of AA and a resolution no higher than 1024*768.
