same here - I have had some really memorable moments in BF2 with my old clan. its great when everyone can work together & Idiots that refuse to take passengers in choppers or jeeps/tanks etc etc are banned - thats another thing that pisses me off in BF2 - there 3/4 spaces inside a jeep/van a guy gets in & drives off leaving the other guys to walk then there were like 3 of them chasing him saying "Hey! I need a ride!!" THAT & the times they stopped vehicles being air dropped onto the aircraft carrier - not that I used it for spawn killing but I use to race other people up n down the runway while waiting for an aircraft to spawn. EA spoiled my fun!!

I played it for 10mins during Beta1 then never went back to it due to the conflict between the flight controls & that new fangled flight controller their trying to support. then i upgraded from Vista to Win7 & never reinstalled the game till now - im just waiting for the 1.50Final patch before i start playing.

theres something about being soaring through the air that really gets my juices going, being a foot soldier is cool but 1 thing I love the most about BF2 is flying.

Yeah I love being a blackhawk pilot even though I get footall points unless they mirculously kill someone with it's peashooter. Just getting a decent squad and dropping them off say where the enemies main vehicle spawns and if they die they respawn on me.

Me too. I'm also waiting to hear some feedback on the new patch so I'm not wasting my time.

To everyone wondering here are a few things I can confirm.

1. BF2 will in fact run on Vista 64x.
2. The latest update as of today is 1.41. Not 1.40. If you run anything including the 1.50 beta patch you will not find any servers.
3. Any setting can be adjusted and or forced in the config file including AA support.

Also new players added and did anyone like the desktops I added?
