BF2S Forums ANOTHER chopper video..

couldnt be bothered to piss about with quote brackets so:

"who got the  credit for the F-18 kill?"
- I did, it was my kill, however, someone else killed someone with the F-15 at exactly the same time. The second line of kill text has my kill in it.

- Thanks to people who actually gave some useful feedback. I will use different music if I make another one. (altho i must admit i quite liked it, *shy* )

- I find First person can get very repetitive, but I will try and include some next time. The only problem is I lag like a biatch when I Fraps while playing, this is the reason why I did all of this footage on a server with BR running, and just frapsed the shots from the demo. Is there anyway I can get first person footage without frapsing while I play?

"renderer.drawHud 0"
- doh! Thanks

-I realise the editting wasnt top notch, like I said, im new to movie making, and I havnt learnt how to use the program properly, It was quite a bodge up job

- The last oman shot was me solo in. I realise it doesnt look like it as the chopper doesnt start spinning much, but I believe that is because I was in a dive. I also realise theres no way I can prove it unless u wanna download the demo file, so you will have to take my word for it

Thanks for the feedback, oh, and thanks for the irrelevant spam yuckfou

god, i hate these people , always flying around in a chopper solo, it justs ruins it the people that can gunner well but not v. good at piloting,

Try GameCam. From what I hear it's less of an FPS killer since it caches what you do and then records it so you play in real time and its saving it to your HD in the background.

Another way that may be obvious is to overclock your videocard. And if you have an nVidia card you can set the drivers up to set image quality "Performance" settings and all sorts of filters that increase FPS. For me, the difference between quality settings on drivers + High settings in BF2 and Medium settings in BF2 and Performance driver settings is gigantic (when recording). And incase I'm telling you something you don't know (hey, ya never know) www.tweaksrus.com have great custom nVidia drivers.

And if at all possible, having your footage saved to a different hard drive than what BF2 is on will help a lot also, but a partition doesn't count in this case.


I like first person because we get to see what you did. Plus, like I said, if you pull off a crazy shot and show it in first person then the replay in battlerecorder, its all the better.

Loved the vid.

I like it because you obviously didnt go for the really good shots, maybe your not the best gunner out there, but you put the movie together very well with the editing and the recording.

The gameplay was made a lot better by the editing etc.

9/10

yeah. I know what you mean about hard to see, its easier to see whats doing on in the filefront download. I found it hard using BR because theres no rewind function (to my knowledge) so i had to watch it through, then try and remember where to put the camera at the right times, and try to predict where the action would move to, if you get what I mean.

It took me quite a while to get the footage, but BF2 isnt my main game, its just a little bit of fun really. It might have taken maybe a month to get some decent footage. But I will probably only play ~3 times a week, and not really any longer than 1hr in a day lol. I get really frustrated with bf2 very easily. Lots of people camping chopper pad (hypocritical, i know). baserape, etc etc :S

Im also suprised how no1 has mentioned the jet shot, which missed, went straight passed the jet, then it all exploded, lol.
