I'm loving the demo of this game. It's running very well on my rig with high detail.

The inf weapons feel nice and tight, the kits are well balanced. I played both as the MEC and USMC and did well with the assault kit on both sides. Sprint ability for inf is really neat. Squads are going to change the way people play this type of game. They are easy to use, a real boon to gameplay and more fun than a barrel of greased up monkeys! Respawning at your squad leader & medics allow for much less running from spawnpoint to enemy spawnpoint.

Commander mode is way cool, raining down arty on the bad guys is awesome, as is dropping resupply.

I don't fly, so I don't fly. I really suck at it, so I can't say anything about that. I did use the tanks and LAVs a lot and again, well balanced and hell of a lot of fun. The firing port guns in the APCs seem pretty useless, but it beats firing your own ammo!

To change resolution edit your short cut as follows ...Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2 Demo\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

(edit 1680 and 1050 for your desired resolution). read that someplace.

The map Gulf of Oman is cool. It was a nice size for the 32 player games, if maybe a little crowded for 64. Mounted AA and MGs in bases provide for much more fun out of defense. Also walls with firing steps are terrific.

The graphics...I've got a Sapphire X800 256MB AGP card and I'm running it widescreen mode. It looks fantastic. Some things, like watching someone else sprint, look very real. The body modeling is great, except, bad ragdoll deaths...which can lead to some funny deaths, like when you have no idea 2 guys are right outside the bunker you are fighting from until an explosion of some sort blasts their bodies against the wall next to you.

I'm buying this game. Big props.
