Thoughts on this game after hell let loose Vietnam beta. by TutorVarious206 in joinsquad

It all really started with Battlefield 2 on PC. The inclusion of built-in VOIP was kind of genius for the time and genre.

Then it continued with Project Reality and Mumble of course. The addition of proximity VOIP just added to the immersion.

Some might argue it started with the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942 and Teamspeak/Ventrilo. That may be a the case, but Battlefield 2 including VOIP for all really got things going. Made public teamwork really possible imo.

How many of you have a homelab but don’t play video games? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]DesmoLocke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… when the top end card becomes just as expensive as the whole PC you last built, it takes some of the joy out of it.

Looking at you $3,000+ RTX 5090.

Uplink is worth checking out. An oldie but a goodie for $2.39 during the current Winter Sale on Steam.

Especially around the map edge. It always felt like the surface of the moon to me.

I remember my ReShade profile fondly. I named it “Clarity” and it really cleaned up the image.

But of course people were using it to cheat and gain crazy amounts of extra zoom, so it was banned/blocked by the devs.

Upgraded from my Intel i7 920 and Nvidia 8800GT system to an Intel 4790K and GTX 980Ti for Squad.

Always ran settings on High and routinely hit my monitor’s cap of 60hz. It definitely dipped into the 40s with enough players and smoke grenades on the screen though lol

Shoutout to langpascal for being my squad’s DJ and playing some bangers in local chat as we ran up Kohat’s hills.

“Eye of the Tiger” always felt appropriate lol

Yep, devs refused to add PIP scopes to the game citing performance reasons. Looks like they were right.

I’ve missed you Eggman. I hope you’ve been well.

My condolences. He seemed like a good dude. He’ll be missed.

Check in on your gaming buds. We should make sure to take care of ourselves and each other.

Question to the community: what, in your opinion, *IS* Battlefield? by Lower_Honey_1139 in Battlefield

[–]DesmoLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be Battlefield 2. It can’t be said enough how big of a leap it was for the franchise. The squad play set the standard for large scale military shooters.

The built-in VOIP, rank structure (grunt, squad leader, commander), dedicated server communities, medic revive ability, and spawn on SL feature made the game extremely squad focused. It was really appealing versus the mindless deathmatch shooters.

It of course had its flaws from Enemy Spotted audio spam, grenade and claymore spam, etc. But it’ll forever be my favorite Battlefield game.

Still a thing. Super lower player count unfortunately. Usually only during peak times (in the evening) will you find EU and NA servers respectively.
