BF2 - you can get the deluxe box set that includes BF2 & BF2 Special forces now, for circa 20-30 quid depending where you buy from.

All you need then is the Xpaks - Euro Forces & Armored Fury - both 5.99 via downloader.ea.com

Most of the BF2'ers have racked up anything from 100 hours play to 300+! since last July Obviously the students out there have racked up far far more

Yep, PC version only works with servers dedicated to the PC version.
Likewise Xbox360 version only works with other Xbox360 players.

Which version you looking at?

Yep, PC version for the win

The 360 version has some nice maps - but doesnt play anywhere near as well - imho.

We're always looking for new cannon fodder... er.. competition

What spec is your PC?

What Graphic's card?

1500Mhz - do you mean you have an AMD XP chip?

Sounds like you might survive on low res and minimum graphics settings, well possibly.

That isn't too far off (except for graphics card) what I used to use But it's far too slow really. I'll be back with another PC.

isnt battle field 2 only suported by certain graphics cards ?

I would check compatability before you buy it.

You also cant go wrong with counter strike which i waste most of my time playing

plenty of people play it at different levels which makes it easy to get into. Once you get good at it could join a clan and play some more organised matches.
