it is a good idea to use download accelerator...or any programe that you can restart the download if you got punted from any ftp-server...waste of time if you have 90% of your download in and you lose it all.

Fear - what gfx card is about £100 (preferably under) which will run the game at fairly good quality? i.e. whats the next step up from the 5500?

Poor Jar... you are using the others links mate, the one posted by HYPEc is hopelessly slow - I used the first one in the list posted by BOMBS : http://files.filefront.com/

You might have your settings a bit high. Try lowering the video resolution to see if that sorts it.

i've installd it , and play the single player and the multiplayer, they booth run fine.

i have a P4, 3.2 Mhz, fx5600 card, 1gig ddr ram memmory, and it works, setting stand on low, ore medium.
never high

the only problem i have is that i cant put the key settings like i wanted.

i work the mouse with my left hand , so i use to move with my numpad key's.

but the half of the key's are used (that is what the game tell me in a little screen)
but the key's arent taken PDT_Armat:

(i use the num pad arrows to move),

i hope the original game works better PDT_Armat:

BTW, are the tins gone host a battlefield 2 server online?so we can kick the same people asses as in BHD PDT_Armat:


i mean play with the same people PDT_Armat:

12th June 2005, 10:14 PM
word, the key remapping should be easier

instead of overwriting the keys that are already in use and letting u change the old setting it doesnt so im sorta playin with half my keys at the default and half the way i use them for BHD etc PDT_Armat:

13th June 2005, 07:46 PM
I found that my wrists hurt when I use the keyboard - so I had an inplant, and had it rigged direct to my brai.... no hang I ain't got one of those....

Seriously - I brought the Belkin NOSTROMO n52 - programmeable keys, and use it in conjunction with the mouse - best £25.00 spent, apart from buying BHD

i am working my mouse with my left hand (but i am right handed PDT_Armat: )

so its not gone be easy to change from left to right PDT_Armat:

it could be that i gone die very much and fast PDT_Armat:

but i will adapt, and i will improvise , and i will conquer the world.......... PDT_Armat:
oops wrong game PDT_Armat:

i will do my best PDT_Armat:
so dont laugh with me PDT_Armat:
