Ok heres the deal i want to go out and purchase Battlefield and after a quick look on the web im not sure which is the one to buy, i want to be able to play online etc...

Input please

If the store has the complete package of Battlefield 2 including the expansions (if you are the modern combat type) you should buy It. I myself have BF2 just by itself.  ;)

I don't know about Battlefield 2142 or all the other ones.

They do have battlefield 2 complete package, which i think might be the correct choice, but i like you am unsure about 2142

Sod BF2, only kiddies on there.

Get 1942 and download Forgotten Hope for some high-intensity, fairly realistic combat.

Forgotten Hope 2 is coming for BF2. But 1942 is also a good experience (STUKA!).

BF2 and BF2142 are the same just 2142 is in the future, go with BF2 or.... alternativly you can download steam, install the steam SDK base and then download the insurgency mod and it is the most realistic game ive ever played

I only have BF2 by itself. I don't have any expansions or Mods.

Buy BF2 then download the 1.41 Patch.

Bah. BF2 is lame  :P

Go download America's Army for free!

www.americasarmy.com

America's Army is good for a while, but you can get burnt out on it easily. For the BF games, I recommend Battlefield 1942 and Vietnam (both come in a cheap combo pack now) and then download Desert Combat 7.0 and Final (for 1942) and Point of Existence (for Vietnam) Also try Interstate 82 (for 1942). There's plenty more ad-ons for them, and they're smooth on even old PCs. Also, the average players aren't a bunch of nublets like in BF2, and most don't hog vehicles or base spam. Also, the helo flying in Vietnam is (imo) funner.

I have been playing a lot of both recently (BF2 and 2142) and they are both good.
I like the unlocks system on 2142 though.

BF2 (with expansions) and BF1942 are the best ones.

I haven't tried BF2142, but from what I've heard it contains spyware to produce in game adverts by examiming your web history (so you'll probably get a load of adverts for planes, or something a little moe tasteful )

So I'd say get BF2 or 1942, butnot 2142

Well i think i might go and purchase 1942 tomorrow!

Thanks for the advice guys

Why get 1942, it is a dying game, I like the game play in it but i hate getting on and there are no servers. I have BF1942 with Forgotten Hope, and Eve Of Destruction. I loved EoD. I have BF:V with Point of Existance and EoD. BF2 with the Special Forces, PoE2, the American Mod deal, EoD mod, and Desert Conflict. I just got BF2142 with no mods.

Gunner,


On Armed Assault, how are the frame rates?

No idea, I don't look at frame rates in games (save FSX) I ran it fine on 1 GB ram, a 7800GTX, San Diego 3700 at 2.7 Ghz, it ran on Medium/High settings. Now once I got 2 GBs ram it became a whole lot better and I was able to raise my sliders even more. Even on medium settings it looks great. No worse performance than BF2 I will tell you right now. If you would really like a frame rate reading I will go dl FRAPS and measure.
