Are there any legal tweaks out there that can do that? I mean, sometimes I think that the view distance is simply not enough, I think an Nvidia 7950GT could handle alot more, so I was wondering are there any tweaks that you can make? Any files you can edit, etc?

LEGAL though, anything not punishable by EA or considered hacking/glitching/etc.?

What do you mean tweak?

Btw i bought a new rig a month ago, so i run with much higher settings than before and it looks to me that i can see much longer even though i used to have 100% view before to.

Yeah, I was just about to say that better graphics cards have a much greater ability to draw objects at long distances, even for the same settings.

So killaer, if you have a better-than-average graphics card then you're already doing better than a lot of guys with mid-range rigs.

all i did was start high then turn down settings till i couldnt see something i could before

i realised i couldnt see the stinger site on the small island on wake, and the last thing i turned down was geometry.

i would say dont have shadows on or you wont see someone in a dark place.

sometimes its better to not have the best graphics card

View distance is only one piece of the puzzle.

goto your BF2 folder in my docs
/Mods/Profiles/xxx

Open your Video Con file

Find this line  >  VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 4

and change it to 4. 4 is superhigh. If you change any video settings in Option when the game is launched it will default back to 3 so once you make the change and save, dont change any options in game.

and here we see the start of more bullshit rumors

ultra high does not work any more. Period. Try anything you want, and look at your "ultrahigh" BF2. Now reinstall, dont patch, and tweak to ultra high. The video settings page shows ultra high, and BF2 will actually look different.

Oh, didn't know that.

They removed it in the 1.4 or 1.41 patch update.  Not sure why they bothered to change it.

Thats right. The Police will come around and arrest you, send you to jail etc for tweaking view distance.

not actually a tweak, but useful.  Turn and look 45 degrees off for a bit and look at your edge.  Turn back and look for the red name tag.  Snipe away.

I've read some posts that suggested that the 8800 GTX extended your view distance.

Geometry=High
Effects=Medium(helps to see the contrails when dogfighting)
View Distance=100%
Resolution=I like mine as high as possible.

if you want to fly jets also put effects on high
