the ODB version is the only way to go

this is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!

minimum requirements for that game have been listed not only on the web since the day BF2 was released, but like every other games, they're also mentioned in the box (retail package)... If your graph card sucks, go buy another one and stop bitchin'
Since I started gaming I have changed my card at least once a year, it's called evolution.
Maybe you are one of those guys who would like to see BF2's resolution as crappy as good old first fps games like medal of honor allied assault or maybe counter strike....
I personally think BF2 has best graphics ever, best looking maps, water effects, dynamic lights and all that stuff I have never seen for a multiplayer PC game. And believe me, as a long time gamer and map designer I know about all that stuff. So plz... stop moaning, save some money to buy yourself a better card and enjoy the game the way it's meant to be.
If you don't like the results you should have bought The Sims.

wow dude. you must be like, 12 or something if you cant afford a 50 dollar video card that is 2x better than a 5700FX. and anyways, if the box said the 92xx and 57xxFX cards were MINIMUM requirements then you really screwed yourself more than anything. Reccomended requirements can really play the game in most situations with everything at low, minimum requirements just get the game running in singleplayer at most.

how "empathetic" of you.

the point is that they should not have put the 5700 on the box if they were planning on discontinuing support for it.
And how did I 'screw myself over'? by not upgrading because I can't afford it (and shouldn't have to) I am 'screwing myself over'?

I'm sure I'll find some way of getting ahold of some hardware but the point is I shouldn't need to.

fuck you, noob kid asshole

"people shouldn't have to buy more hardware if it states on the box that their computer can run the game"

If you can't make it work, you don't know a thing about computers, I have run the game with a fx5700 card on my girlfriend's pc, and it works. So you are a fuckin pro, your knowledge is way beyond official EA testers, hahaha, if the card is listed to work with the game, it works, check the ram, the processor, or your brain, motherfucker.

"others can't afford it or have to use their money for more important things"

If you can afford a pc, a broadband, internet access, and the game itself, you can afford a decent card. If you really can't, then make an effort, stay home a couple of weeks instead of having beers and smoke crack.

"I'm in high school and don't have time for a job"

OOOOOhhh too bad, so sad, I'm gonna cry.....Yeah, I can imagine, you hang around with friends instead of studying or doing anything constructive. If you really want to work, you can do it, Just do it. You can make it if you try, try just a little bit harder ROFL :p
How do you think Howard Hugues or Rotschild started? Obviously you are not as clever.

Please don't reply I'm not gonna answer. You are wrong, I am right, face it or die.
The time you spend playing or reading the forums you could help your neighbours with their gardens for a couple of bucks. In no time you have a decent card again, moron!

Well mate you just dont know how to use a computer i run a Nvidia FX 5200 fine mate and that only has a puny 128mbs of power and as for being in High School and not able to get a job what a cop out i was a A grade student and held a job down since i was 14yrs 6mth(youngest age allowed to be employed) i only stopped working when i hit my final year so i could concentrate for the final year exams so i think you just are lazy and would rather hang out with your Bum chums so as i always say "if theres a will theres a way" theres no such thing as too hard just too much excuses and as someone famous said "Excuses are like Assholes, Everyone has one and they all STINK!"

Stratocaster FTW!

I couldn't agree more.

Yeah, they've got tons of disclaimers about discontinuing support.  If you try and complain though, they'll just tell you that you can still play the game on single player, or on a lan with an older patch.

Personally I think it's a good thing they didn't support geforce 4's and they're dropping support for other low end cards. Sure people who have to upgrade feel screwed, but pc developers who cater for these people are just holding back the development of the games.

When they make a game totally scalable, so it can look brilliant on a decent system yet still work on a crap one, it ends up performing worse on a high end system that it would if it had been optimised for a fast pc in the first place. When its a choice between screwing the low end users, or compromising serious gamers, there's really only one fair option.

If you can't afford to upgrade a pc regularly, you don't really have much sympathy from me. There's these things called "consoles" for people like that
