Maybe a stupid question. But if I donwload BF2 is it possible to play online against you guys?

no sir..

Updated top post with another download link....

you might try buying a key from someone
as long as you have a legit key, you can play with a mini image

Thanks Muddr! I'll be on later tnite hopefully...

If my cousin ever sent me the key that I gave him that he hasn't even used, I'd sell it for like 5 bucks...

Added Fuzzy's and Bob's link to the top

Well, the sights of the guns are slightly off because it is never the proper angle view.
You have to shoot where they were a split second ago, not where they are or in front of them.
The hit boxes were supposed to change a little bit, but on what, I don't know.

yup, it blows... just learn to dolphin dive like everyone else

To kill dolphin divers, don't shoot at the animation of them diving/jump diving, shoot where they should land. when you dive your hitbox is already on the ground even though the model isn't.... this is all 1.41 not sure about 1.5

Usersettings.con

This file is found under your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Settings directory. There are two particular settings of interest here which are reported to help reduce the inaccurate feel /hit detection of weapons fire in BF2:

SettingsManager.floatSet GSDefaultLatencyCompensation 0.100000

This setting controls latency (or 'lag') compensation, which involves the game attempting to offset the delay between information being sent from your machine to the server and back again (as measured in milliseconds by your Ping). In games without client-side latency compensation, you have to lead your target by a certain amount, since whenever you fire a weapon your bullets will actually register in the game world with a delay equal to your Ping. In BF2, whenever you fire a weapon, whatever appears in your crosshairs at that particular moment is registered as being hit, regardless of where they actually are at that point in time. This removes the need to predict where your target will be based on ping delay, and makes the game feel more responsive. However it can also introduce quirks like ducking behind a wall and still being hit.

In any case, this setting controls the default latency compensation applied, and the normal value is 0.100000 = 100ms. Some people claim that by adjusting this value to match your average ping in the servers you play, it can improve hit detection. For example, if you typically have a 50ms Ping, setting this to 0.050000 should improve the feeling of accuracy in the game. To be honest having experimented with this setting in isolation I didn't notice much difference either way. I believe the latency compensation is actually dynamic, only starting at the default value given in this setting, and adjusting to match your average ping over time. However even if it isn't, in general you can try to match your Ping with this setting to see the results. Note that lowering this setting well below or above your average Ping will only add to lag and may decrease your accuracy at best, so stick with keeping it equal to the Ping you get on most servers.

Yea, I change mine also when I remember too, but never seen proof that it works well.. Which I have alot more changed then just the GSDefaultLatencyCompensation in that file... ha ha

did i miss something or did 1.5 add a nodvd fix?

Yes, it removed the need to have the disk in the drive.

very cool
