Battlefield 2 Demo is out!

After some speculation whether it will be released today or not, EA has finally put up the BF2 Demo.

The demo includes the Gulf of Oman single player map as well as the Gulf of Oman 16-player and 32-player maps. There is a time limit for each game.

Right now, finding a server which can server the 560 Megabyte Demo with decent speed is a bit of a problem. The official download sites and its mirrors are getting swamped.

We have mirrored the Battlefield 2 Demo Download for you.

wazzledoozleOh ok

You need Nvidia forceware drivers.
You can get those here-
www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_71.89.html
Will BF2 run on a Nvidia GF4 4200Ti with these drivers?

I was under the impression that the entire GF4 series was unsupported, and that id have to shell out on a new card if i wanted a go (anoying, Doom3 and Halflife 2 worked fine).

You're trying to play BF2 with the video card that comes integrated with your motherboard... impossible.
Check if your motherboard has an AGP slot, it's one of the things you use to connect cards to your PC, this one should be brown, if your PC has one of those, then you need to buy a new video card (be prepared with at least $150 bucks).
If your PC doesn't have an AGP slot, then my friend, you should think about getting a new PC, or, if you're on a tight budget, save your pennies for an Xbox360 and a copy of a console version of BF2. Good luck.

anyone had experience of frequent lockups during BF2, often resulting in a reboot?

I've updated all the drivers, increased my swap file and defragged all my HDDs, ingame performance is slightly improved for the precious few minutes it works. I did have a huge heat build up, but I cured it using an ATI Silencer 5 rev2.

specs for my rig are in my sig.

HELP, since the game has gone gold I expect I'm gonna see this problem in the full game when it arrives :mad:

Hey

I am re-downloading it right know. I hope that works. I am getting it from a different site. Who knows, maybe the site I got it from first had a bug?
