For some reason my viewing distance ( distance from where I can see infantry ) differs from others. It's really strange because I "think" my settings are good to play with.

A example of what I mean:

As you can clearly see I've spotted the sniper but I can't see him on the carrier.

So I thought there would be something wrong with my settings? My geometry is on high so as my viewing distance and the lighting.

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 1
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 3
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 3
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 0
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 0
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 2
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 2
VideoSettings.setResolution 1280x1024@72Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 2Samples
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3

Could it be that it is my processor? Anyway here are my system specs..

Intel Pentium D 2.8 Ghz
Nvidia Geforce 7600GT
2048 Mb RAM
2X 160GB SATA RAID 0

I really  don't know what is causing this and I would like to know. Help's appreciated..

Nothing's wrong.

I often spot people I can't see.

It's a (very usefull) bug.

What?! Bugs in bf2?! NO!?

I think thats the same for everyone I think...

I can see the carrier and the Aircraft one it, but i can rarely see the Infantry from that distance..

Hmm interesting thanks everyone for the posts and thanks TheEternalPessimist for posting your settings. I'm going to try them out now but I'll have to see what triggers it and what doesn't because I probably can't run all of those with my crappy system.
