I went on a few stupid runs, to save team members and the commander and then killed my self in the process. Really could have done with a medic.
The worst thing that happened was when reviving a player, I saved him, and then we both died straight after in an air strike

Have fun tonight boys (and girls). Am working nights tonight and Thursday, seems like ages since I've been on 
And then in France on Sunday skiing. So mixed blessing! Perhaps need to get a quick laptop and wireless connection although I think the missus might not be so keen! Get enough grief when I'm at home on the PC!!!!
Definitely agree about the medic thing though - makes a huge difference if there's someone there who keeps bringing you back when you've done something stupid

Should have had the Benny Hill theme tune playing instead of the normal BF2 stuff last night - absolute mayhem!

I was getting booted from games on my X2 until I applied the fixes, but since then it has been pretty much rock solid.
A friend of mine has had similar problems with getting booted on his normal old pentium system, so I don't think all the connections problems are amd related...

I've installed the AMD driver, hotfix and reg edit, one to watch.
Hope you get it sorted mate.
I'm using:
Nforce 6.70
Forceware 82.65 (www.guru3d.com)
AMD driver 1.2.2 (etc - current one from www.amd.com)
Happy hunting mate.

is it me or has climbing in the rankings really slowed down now?
over christmas, couple of days playing saw me rise 2 or 3 ranks in a matter of 2 days.
since then I'm sturggling to finish the last milimeter of the bar off.
does it effect how many people are playing and how well all the other scores are coming in, as to how much you gain?

Also I think the ranking servers can be a bit hit and miss sometimes, so even if you're playing on a ranked server, when it uploads the stats info to the main server it doesn't always process the info.

LOL I laughed my head off when I finally got you in that tank!
I was actually a medic, but you'd shot a anti-tank chappy dead in front of me so I picked up his stuff (that new Jackhammer gun rocks a t close range) and luckily for me there were enough rockets left to avenge him
As for my spec, I'm really pleased with how it performs. I'm sure all of you with your uber machines get higer FPS than me but it's really playable.
I've got a Athlon 2500+ o/c'd to 3200+, 2Gb of DDR 400 ram <makes a MASSIVE difference in BF2...no...more...stuttering... and my spanking new X850 XT (o/c'd to PE speeds). So for ~£320 outlay I think this machine will last me another year (unless the overcloked components melt in the mean time )
Just hope Dice don't add any more gfx effects in the next patches though otherwise I'll have to go down to 1024x768

From that it states - 10 minutes IAR (in a round) in a transport vehicle (driver I would guess).

PS. of course, if you look hard enough, your clan provides this info

You b******s!
You may note I have heli (whoring) badge too...
Seriously though, I believe it's ten minutes in a round, not 10 minutes constantly without dying.

Looking forward to the expansion packs as well. Especially at £5.99 each, it would be a crime to refuse!
