I just bought an 8800 GTS vidoe card and got the latest drivers for it. Now when I try to get into BF2142 the screen flickers black stays a second or two and goes back to the desktop.
I have run DXdiag and everything passed, the vide card showed up correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

nice way to hijack the post Jo Barf... JDE and Mouse, Thanks, I have been mainly concentrating on conquest. When I write something up more titanesque Ill throw that stuff in there
I wrote this for my clan mainly but figured that you all may want to see it. Most of the stuff is stated in previous posts about the individual kits. This is mainly for the squad leaders and the people that actually play with the same crew.
This is just something that I have found reaps me the most points. Granted my score doesn’t always reflect that, but I have figured out a way to reap the most from them.
1. Always follow the orders of the squad leaders and commanders. When you follow the orders you get bonus points for being the squad member radius.(not sure exactly how many points.)
2. When Capping a flag, Make sure that you stay on the outer edges of the cap radius. This way you cannot have your entire squad killed with a single grenade.
3. The different classes have different abilities. Use them.
a. Recon-
i. Explosives: These are the best for the recon class because you get points for blowing the “strategic objects”
ii. APM Mines: perfect for covering your flank. Tops of ladders and stairwells are the best places for these.
b. Assault-
i. Medic: The defibrillator is the best part of this. It does not rob the other players of the kill, as commonly believed, because I have still gotten my kill points when the enemy has been revived. More importantly it allows you as the medic to bring in “instantaneous” reinforcements.
c. Engineer-
i. Pilum HAVR- Though this “rifle” has very limited ammo, it is very powerful. Couple this with support class and you will never run out of ammo. This rifle is good for killing the turrets on the titans.
d. Support-
i. Sentry gun: Set this up at a choke point and watch the points roll in. You can also set this on the entry points to the Titan and get bonus points by defending the titan. Inversely set this at the opening of corridors the defenders are sure to come through and get titan attack points.
ii. Make sure you throw down those support packs.
4. Squad Leaders
a. Always issue orders. I cannot stress this enough. If you issue orders to your squad, you get squad leader success points if they follow the orders.
b. Squad Leader Beacon. Find a nice secluded place away from the main traffic, but near the flag you want to take, and drop it. Every time someone spawns in on it you get a success point.
c. Take the Flag! When you are away from the SLB your squad can still spawn on you. If you are near a flag and are taking it you get the main capture points, while the other members of the squad will all get cap assists.
d. Define your roles: If you have a regular squad you play with all the time, let the members define their roles. If you have too many of any one class you are useless. Vary the roles every now and then too.
e. Practice the trifecta. Squad leaders should play a class and you should always have Medic and support with you. That way you never run out of ammo and you always have a healer. The medic should hang back a little bit and let the support or additional recon/assault to take the brunt of land mines or sentry guns. Then the medic can come in and get a revive score after the other members of the squad take out the threat.
f. Move as a squad. A squad is a cohesive unit that works well TOGETHER. Stagger your formation a bit so you are not easy fodder to a grenade (Grenada!) But importantly, stay close enough to your squad mates so you can provide them covering fire and support. When you corner a building, stack spread out on the wall, then one at a cross the gap while the other squad members support you. When you get to the other wall watch the corner away from you.
|________________________|
X --> watch this direction.
Then the next squad member moves to you, You continue watching your corner. The second member turns and watches the close corner
This way you have complete coverage while you are moving your squad.

What happens when you get a veteran badge? thats 500 points right there.
I have to disagree with you Jester, I have the g5 myself, and I have the g11 keyboard. the keyboard in the game is useless but the mouse < all. I use the weight tray at 30.4 grams and it has just the right amount of resistance when sniping.
I searched for this before I posted, so if anyone sees this as a repeat post please dont flame me.

This probably needs to go somewhere else, but How to you side slip in a chopper? I mean, just move to either the left or the right on the same horizontal plane? Tilt the chopper? that hasnt always worked for me.

thank you for your constructive input +1 karma for you
One of the things I would like to see implemented is a range finder, either a separate peice of equipment, or inherent in the sniper scopes.
In the real world, M16 A2s are zeroed in at 300 yards (which could equate to meters, more or less). In the Marines, when I was in, we zeroed in at 36 yards because the trajectory of the bullet at 36 and 300 yards is exactly the same. It is kind of limiting to the game because there are not that many places that have 300 yards and maintainable accuracy. But weapons like the M4 and the L85 and the M95 are all equipped with scopes. I think that when you enter scoped mode, either you get a range in the sight or something. Real world snipers do not go out alone, they go out in 2 man teams, a spotter/rangefinder and a trigger man.

wow, not even a "what a stupid idea"
Hi All.
I am administering a tournament and I need some help. This is to "commmemorate" the launch of BF2142.
What I am thinking of is getting a tournament together with BF2.
Here is what I am thinking so far.
2 squads.
16 Player maps.
-Not sure what maps I want yet, but I was thinking Kubra, Karkand, mashtuur, Jalalabad, and fu she.
I have not decided yet if I want to make them Infantry Only or not.
What I was thinking was making it an individual and team based scoring system.
The players in the tournament would either create a new online account (Im not sure how accurate the scores are kept on a lan game, and no one at the shop wants to waste time trying out a non ranked game)
I guess my first question is going to be, has anyone done this and is there something that will keep track of the global points on a local server for us?
The scoring for the tournament would be something like this:
The global score would be the main indicator of score.
The team score would be secondary I think.
Something like
G T K D
Player 1: 90 25 20 25
Player 2: 87 32 16 24
Player 3: 75 30 25 23
Player 4: 73 28 12 36
Player 5: 60 25
Player 6: 50 20
Player 7: 49 19
Player 8: 48 18
Player 9: 42 15
Player 10: 36 11
Player 11: 33 10
Player 12: 30 9
So at the end of each of the maps the score would be recorded
Player 1: 290
Player 2: 287
Player 3: 175
Player 4: 273
Player 5: 160
Player 6: 150
Player 7: 149
Player 8: 248
Player 9: 142
Player 10: 136
Player 11: 233
Player 12: 130
At the end of all 5 maps, the person who had the most points would be the winner.
The top scoring person would be first prize (290)
Second top scorer would be second prize (287)
Third place person would be third prize (273)
The "most winningest" squad through the 5 maps would be the winner of the Squad (team) prize.
The prizes are 1st Place: a copy of BF2142
2nd Place: a T-shirt and 10 free hours (This is for an internet cafe, so we can offer free hours)
3rd Place: 15 free hours.
The Squad Prize: T-shirts might be a cool Idea, but I would have to check with the owner of the store.
What do you guys think?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I downloaded the incremental last night, installed it while I was checking everyone's bitching on the forums, and proceeded to get really high team scores medic whoring in Jalalabad. I noticed no problems when I was diving in for a revive, or anything like that.
The only thing I would like to see is maybe a littlebird for the USMC and comparable for the MEC. I like the new patch. I am extremely happy to see they did away with the CTDs and stuff like that.

So, Arty Kills don't show up under the kills section of the scoreboard, but count towards global and kit scores. Sweet!syndicat111 wrote:

I got smoked like 4 times in an attack chopper by a TV missle. Move towards the reactor towers on Dalian, Whats that streak? Oh Sh KABOOM!...
2 times I couldn't even see the towers we were so far out. the other 2 times was from behind

How bout you link to the video so we can all become a hack chopper pilot? =P
Definately padded. the knife expert badges on both those guys are 1 day apart
Well I went forward with it. I managed to get an Athlon 64 3400 upgrading from the Sempron 3100. A 600MHZ jump in performance works nicely. It is a 7300 like I stated in my first post.
So now the specs are as follows.
Foxconn NF4K*AB-RS Motherboard (will support athlon 64/sempron Socket 754)
XFX PVT72GWANG Geforce 7300 GS
2G of pc3200
AMD Athlon 3400+ (running at 2.4Ghz)

I have noticed, this happens a lot with some of the ribbons and badges, and Especially ranks.
Sometimes all you have to do is log in and get a kill, because it didnt register the last time you played.
Try it.
LIke the other night, for some freak of nature, I only had 8 kills as the commander, when low and behold I got my Vet anti tank. Later that round I got my Vet Command too, which was awesome.

AH, gotcha, I have foind a couple of good gunners, but most are not all they are cracked up to be. I am finally learning how to TV missle in on choppers. I played on this server tonight (Quebec server) and this one dude was AWESOME with the TV Missle, got me and the gunner like 6 times with that damned thing

I have been trying to get the medic vet badge, Animal, thats why you got the revives=)
How is being a chopper polot helpin with my team points? I got 15+ hours in choppers and I havent seen my team stats go up all that much.
So um, Help me get my karma up, and when I get enough to karma back, ill hit you up.
How is it that they can have ranked PoE servers?
Ok, before anyone starts flaming me and dropping my karma even further, I have used the search function and was not able to find exactly what I was looking for.
I posted this message here because it is BF2 Help. I am looking for help on developing the best way to get team points.
I know that you get team points by:
Kills: 2 pts
capture: 2 pts
cap assist: 1 pt
flag defend: 1pt + the kill points.
Kill assist: 1 pt
Driver assist: 1pt
Heal point: 1 pt
Revive point: 2 pts
Resupply: 1pt
repair: 1 pt
Now, I know all this, cause I looked it up in the Wiki. But for some reason I can never get more that 30 points. I had been concentrating on the the various kits for a while each, not to find the correct feel (sniper or assault all the way there) but so I could get the vet badges. Now I want to concentrate on the ribbons that require team score.
So what Im looking for is a few tips on how to boost that score so I can get 45, 50 in a round.
Anyone?
Thanks!

have you tried just using quicktime to open that? or are you saying that it will not unzip? an avi is a precompressed file, and that may be screwing it up.
Im looking for servers that have just those maps, anyone know of one? maybe 2?
Or if all else fails I would like a Euro force mapped server.

Hi all, I have a similar problem. I just downloaded and installed the SF expansion, I did not think that I would have had to install 1.22 again, but I will try that tonight. I keep getting the error "this server only allows unmodified BF2 content. Please revert to the unmodified version of your software and try joining again."
Is this because I don't have patch 1.22 installed?

I think you are way off base here. Squad Hopping is the best way to keep the action fast and furious. You are just pissed off that you were not able to defend against it effectively. The best way to counter squad hopping, is with another squad hop. Take the time to get a few of your friends together on an unranked server and PRACTICE. When I was involved with BF2Combat they taught it, they also taught Halo and HAHO jumping as well as small squad tactics.
Spent the 9 bucks and have them teach you how to do it if you can't figure it out.
