Even $900 to $1000 is a lot of money. I've priced a new system that would allow me to max out the setting son BF2 for just over a $1000. I've put about $1200 into my current system from what I paid for it orginially plus upgrading the video card and memory and addding a SB Audigy Card instead of the onboard sound. I got my newer graphics card about a month after I started playing BF2.leftoverkiller wrote:
the only thing i found that really matters is having a CPU that can run the game on 100% draw distance. the rest just adds realism. shadows and other effects. i have seen bf2 on my machine amd 3700 2 gigs corsair xms ram and a xfx 256 6800xt agp video card. then i ve seen it on a friends CPU a amd 3700 2 gigs corsair xms and 2 xfx 256 6800xt running in sli mode. both machines play the game with all settings maxed out with little or no lag at all. Ive played on both and the sli machine seams to let me line up my shots quicker from the ground and choppers.
if your machine can only run on 70% draw distance you are at a disadvantage to others that are playing at 100%. Ive tested this a karkand with a friend. i played at 60% and he played at 100%. he was starting at the square and i started at the hotel. he could see me before i could see him.all i saw was fog where he was standing. but as stated above the best hardware in the world wont help you against a great player. but a great player with the best hardware will dominate the game. both machines were built off of new egg and neither machine broke the bank. the sli machine we build for about $900 and the agp machine we built for about $650. both use high end mobos CPU memory and video cards n power supply's . nothing was the cheapest parts. all good brands.

First off, 2K for a BF2 computer is ridiclious. My 900$ system gets 99 FPS on High settings.{BMF}*Frank_The_Tank wrote:
Good hardware never hurts, but I play on a mediocre machine. I dont have the money to go and drop $2000 on a computer specifically made for BF2 and higher end games....thats retarded, I have bills to pay. But, none the less, it all depends on the gamer. As DSRTurtle said, a good player can overcome the set backs on their machine, making them just as good, if not better than someone with a rediculous rig. Those types of gamers are the ones to fear, because if they ever do upgrade to a better machine, it will only make their skill twice what it was.I feel better after I go to the gym, not after I spend all my savings on a new pc. But thats just me....different priorities and preferences I guess.jsnipy wrote:
Not to mention a bigger better system gets you more friends and invited to exclusive events. A higher end systems also give you the perk of discounts where you normally shop. Not to mention you will feel better and look great!

to a degree. i get 15 fps on uber low settings on my laptop, and well, its unplayable. if ur at medium details with 60+ fps ur fine, but that extra 39fps and high details can really make the difference sometimes. man i miss my computer back home. why are parents so lame they dont let me bring my pc to college....DSRTurtle wrote:
