is it worth it grinding and spending hours on a laggy server for new weaps? i mean really, none of the ones i saw were all that great, and i don't even know for sure if there are any more past that. Unless i see or hear of something irresistable (M-14, M-60, P-90, FAMAS) i'm not touching one of these servers

I guess everyone who stands up for what's right (in their respective fields) is considered "high and mighty"? EA is representative of some problems within the gaming industry. I don't buy their games because I care about the gaming industry, developers and gamers alike.
I also think BF2 is a good game. My only interest in playing it lies in their squad system, which was implemented well from what I've played. Hats off to DICE.
The only problems I have with it is the bugs (which are going to be fixed) and the way the server list works. (which might be GameSpy's fault for all I know)

It (the G3) is more of a niche weapon. Yeah, you lose 10 rounds and the GL, but you get hand grenades which I have had more success with than the GL, and it's ridiculously powerful and accurate as far as BF2 weapons go. It's second only to the sniper rifles in both power and accuracy. 3 chest shots to a body-armored guy (assault,anti-tank,support) and they are down. It's a good weapon for a squad leader since they can stay back but still provide supporting fire for the squad when they are going for a point.
To get the air ribbon on the ranked servers, take a jet, go super high in the sky and parachute out. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Despite the fact that the UK, France and Germany alone have more than 2/3 the population of the U.S, we have only five servers to go around, and two of them are 16-player servers. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that these servers will be constantly full. Whatever number of ranked servers the U.S has, five is certainly less than two-thirds of that value.
And before you say anything, all of the east-coast US server suffer from the same problem, full up with europeans. Anything past the east coast and you're into 200+ ping territory. Also, 100 ping might not sound like much... but you sure as hell feel the difference when you're used to pings below 30.

Only chance to get in is to hammer the server browser for 10 minutes until you get in, that is, if you are lucky enough to get in before the browser locks up on you and you have to reboot the PC with the reset button.
Yeah, a bunch of UK servers literally sprung up overnight, so now at least my chances of getting a place in a ranked UK server are non-zero, but that doesn't mean they're any good.
Also, whenever the round ends, it ALWAYS says the round was drawn, no matter who actually won, and all of the awards (gold, silver, bronze, best squad e.t.c) are all N/A. Does this mean my stats arn't being tracked?

just got kicked from ANOTHER server - geez. I swear I'm not a TKer. what is it - 5 unforgiven TKs for a kick? this time I got kicked when I killed a mig chasing a friendly chopper, and one of my missiles decided to kill the chopper w/ 2 ppl in it...
was at the top of my team, 25 kills 1 death, and got kicked. I bet they lose now, I was singlehandedly keeping their tanks at bay, I hope they're happy -_-
you shouldn't get kicked for outright TKs - instead, it should kick you if your tks-to-real-kills ratio goes over like 33% - that is, if you tk more than 1 person for every 3 or 4 enemies you kill, then you get kicked...
on a side note, wth is the point of missile lock if the target isn't really locked and the missiles will just go for the nearest heat source anyway? if the missiles are truly locked, it should be impossible to tk somoene with em... and if they don't truly lock, then you shouldn't have to wait for a lock to fire them...

Most of the BF2 clanning community agrees with me, 90% of which could kick your **** wide open. And the normal Assault weapons have great accuracy(which I almost never hit with the G3), and the GL is the best anti-unarmored vehicle weapon in the game.
Spetsnaz, I wasn't saying that was it, I was saying it sounded like it. I'm getting in just fine. And NiL IQ has cleared it up for both of us: Euros just got screwed in the deal. Not my fault man, and niether is EA's. Most of EA's games don't sell well over there, so they'd rather not deal with 'em, I guess. But you guys have got a pretty good wealth of 'em.

Now, onto the G3, the thing about it is it can fire on full auto like the AK's. And Hand-Grenades are VERY nice to have on CQB maps, whereas the grenade launcher is so damn handy taking out snipers it far outweighs it.

Seriously, don't act like your all high and mighty. I bought this because its a damn good game, not because I think the publisher is okay to abuse its workmen. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Erm... you're welcome? I guess everyone who stands up for what's right (in their respective fields) is considered "high and mighty"? EA is representative of some problems within the gaming industry. I don't buy their games because I care about the gaming industry, developers and gamers alike.
I also think BF2 is a good game. My only interest in playing it lies in their squad system, which was implemented well from what I've played. Hats off to DICE.
The only problems I have with it is the bugs (which are going to be fixed) and the way the server list works. (which might be GameSpy's fault for all I know)
EA doesn't deserve this game.
There is no load time for the menus. o_O The only "load time" is the connecting to the account server to verify your account and retrieve your stats for the BFHQ. Don't be ridiculous.

No, they're SUGGESTING that you play at a different time if you find it too hard to find a slot on a server, until they can get it sorted. Personally, I've always found a server within 5 minutes of opening BF2.

What a crock of **** you just spouted there.
Sorry but you've basicly said what the EA admins are saying, which aint helpful ONE BIT. after you've been looking for a server for a good hour constant refreshing doesnt even HELP!
Ive just got from playing on a European 64 man server, at the start the team play was ace but the laggyness was really getting to me, as we changed maps the lag became un playable yet players still played because most of them knew ( i even asked them this) that they dont want to wait for a slot on another server. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
Spouting a crock of **** is he? I think you're just **** off that your connection sucks. Settle down. The rest of us are having a very easy time getting into servers. I usually find one in 30 seconds of me having that menu open. It barely takes 2 minutes to get a server that can get me and me 3-5 clan buddies on it, and still have plenty of competition. Shush ye!
As to Psuedo: Standing up to whats right, what, a year ago? After a federal investigation(last I heard. Corrections?)? I don't know. But I do agree: They don't deserve this game. Or most of their EA BIG teams. Those guys know how to make games o.o
Yes and it's not just USMC, the unlocks are universal.
It's pretty good, accurate in single shot, has a scope, but seems to lose accuracy pretty fast full auto and does less damage than the M16A2/AK101/AK47.
Hey Quan - do you have any IP addresses for some of those servers you mentioned?

DO NOT GET THE ASSAULT UNLOCK. IT SUCKS.
No, it's in, I've been hit by sniper fire while prone next to a wall. Maybe you got a bad spread or the guy moved out of the way?
And you're full of ****.
edit: I figured justification would make this post look better.
It (the G3) is more of a niche weapon. Yeah, you lose 10 rounds and the GL, but you get hand grenades which I have had more success with than the GL, and it's ridiculously powerful and accurate as far as BF2 weapons go. It's second only to the sniper rifles in both power and accuracy. 3 chest shots to a body-armored guy (assault,anti-tank,support) and they are down. It's a good weapon for a squad leader since they can stay back but still provide supporting fire for the squad when they are going for a point.
And you're full of ****.

Your right he is.
My connection is fine so stop saying its like im running 56k here.
I'm almost glad i don't have money to buy the game... (or the computer to run it)
it'll be smooth as silk when i get around to this game.

Perhaps because you're in the US, which has an abundance of EA-run ranked servers.
Despite the fact that the UK, France and Germany alone have more than 2/3 the population of the U.S, we have only five servers to go around, and two of them are 16-player servers. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that these servers will be constantly full. Whatever number of ranked servers the U.S has, five is certainly less than two-thirds of that value.
And before you say anything, all of the east-coast US server suffer from the same problem, full up with europeans. Anything past the east coast and you're into 200+ ping territory. Also, 100 ping might not sound like much... but you sure as hell feel the difference when you're used to pings below 30.
And that's 63 full servers. All the time.
Only chance to get in is to hammer the server browser for 10 minutes until you get in, that is, if you are lucky enough to get in before the browser locks up on you and you have to reboot the PC with the reset button.
Rinse and repeat.
Also, whenever the round ends, it ALWAYS says the round was drawn, no matter who actually won, and all of the awards (gold, silver, bronze, best squad e.t.c) are all N/A. Does this mean my stats arn't being tracked?
My pilot was real good, he was flying so low that AA couldn't lock on but tanks took us out a couple of times

Actually, pillows would be even worse, they'd pick up momentum due to the speed of fighter and punch through the earth, thus causing the fluffiness to send our planet's core into meltdown, which actually freezes the core since the core can't really get much hotter, and thus causes the world to asplode, that'd be about six billion team kills. Man, you'd be bant from reality for that one.
Edit: I also got my Meritous Squad Ribbon, Gold Medal and Combat Helicopter medal last night. If you guys are on, look for a player named TRIP he was the single most awesome player I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. He's an awesome squad leader and helicopter pilot to boot.

just got kicked from ANOTHER server - geez. I swear I'm not a TKer. what is it - 5 unforgiven TKs for a kick? this time I got kicked when I killed a mig chasing a friendly chopper, and one of my missiles decided to kill the chopper w/ 2 ppl in it...
was at the top of my team, 25 kills 1 death, and got kicked. I bet they lose now, I was singlehandedly keeping their tanks at bay, I hope they're happy -_-
you shouldn't get kicked for outright TKs - instead, it should kick you if your tks-to-real-kills ratio goes over like 33% - that is, if you tk more than 1 person for every 3 or 4 enemies you kill, then you get kicked...
on a side note, wth is the point of missile lock if the target isn't really locked and the missiles will just go for the nearest heat source anyway? if the missiles are truly locked, it should be impossible to tk somoene with em... and if they don't truly lock, then you shouldn't have to wait for a lock to fire them...
And you're full of ****.

Bacon, I'm not sure about you, but I've been using the gun for 3 days and have yet to get a kill. Most of the BF2 clanning community agrees with me, 90% of which could kick your **** wide open. And the normal Assault weapons have great accuracy(which I almost never hit with the G3), and the GL is the best anti-unarmored vehicle weapon in the game.
