Get Rid of the Splash Movies

Regrettably enough, most game publishers enjoy putting unskippable splash screens in their games, which play each time the game starts. These are, to put it mildly, annoying, but luckily for you, you can get rid of them and get right into the game within seconds after clicking your shortcut.

To do so, go to this directory:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies

And either delete or move the movies there to another folder, leaving only menu.bik and menu_loggedin.bik behind. With the files not in the directory, the game won't be able to play them when it starts up, so it'll just skip past them.

Some users, however, report problems connecting to servers or getting kicked from them when moving these files out of the directory; if you're worried about this, you might want to create a blank Notepad document and rename it to match the name of the files that were previously there. You can do so in Windows by going to the folder, right-clicking, then selecting "New Text Document" from the popup menu and renaming it after it's created. For instance, after moving the 135 megabyte "Intro.bik" file to another directory, you could return to the \movies folder, right click, make a new text document, and name it "Intro.bik." This new file would be zero bytes in size, but may prevent the game's anticheat protection from detecting that you've messed around with the movies. If that still results in you getting Punkbusted, then you may want to try simply renaming the files, adding text to them just before the .bik extension, e.g. renaming intro.bik to something like intro1.bik.

Yep, and you can do the exact same thing for SF, and most mods i believe.

I just created another folder beside them and put them in it. Worked fine for me and they're nowhere they shouldn't be.

OOOOr, just add

+restart

to the shortcut command.

I get mad at my friend because he's too lazy to delete the intro videos, and I'm so impatient that I can't stand waiting those few seconds when I play at his house

...maybe I'm the lazy one? He said I should just delete them, but I haven't; I've only deleted my own. Though I admit sometimes they are kinda cool to watch

or just put +restart 1 into the shortcut field of battlefield 2?

eg:

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +restart 1

That will take you straight to the login page

Or, you can just rename the Movie folder to something else, like Moviessuck.
