Im assuming im not the only one that experiences this. But this is basically a summary of the crap EA makes me go through to play this forsaken game.
Double Click BF2 icon.
Game loads in about 1 minute.
Login...wait about 2-3 minutes to connect to server.
Click Multiplayer tab.
Wait about 3-4 minutes to Update server list.
Spend about 2-4 minutes finding a server I don't think will crash or lag me out.
Find a server and connect to it.
Spend about 2-3 minutes loading the map.
Spend about 5-7 minutes "Verifying Client Data" whatever the hell that means. (anyone know?)
Finally get in the damn server.
Game lags for about 20 seconds, I call this server fart.
Finally get a smooth connection going and select class (never really care what team im on, most the time)
Select spawn point.
Spawn...lag some more for about 5-10 seconds (another "server fart")
Get the mess blown out of me by an artillery strike.
Curse EA
Spawn again and play.
