hi guys,

i just got BF2 a few days ago, and now i am all the time playing singeleplayer and multiplayer, and then i was wondering, were can i upgrade my status. then i saw the button "PLAY NOW"

i klicked on it, and it came " Start searched for play now server" it searching and searching, and then after 5-7 mins it comes" Unable to find valid play now server"

what does that mean? what do i have to do that i can play it?
 
what???

the thing is, i wanna get a bigger status, i am still at the "Privat" and the next one would be "first privat"

i was playing online in mulitplayer mod, but i never got any progress working on my status.

whats going on there??
 
You have to play on ranked servers. Make sure you have the latest patches as well.

You need to get a certain scores to rank up. 👍
 
You need to play on RANKED servers to actually level up. Those mod servers aren't allowed to be ranked, by EA. So, you're going to have to start playing on some Ranked servers. Also, the "Play Now" shortcut that's created, automatically tosses you into some random EA server. It's completely stupid, delete it.
 
Or you could take BF2 back to the shop and get your money back. Or you could part-exchange it for Counter Strike: Source and Day Of Defeat: Source pack. Or you could part-exchange it for Battlefield WWII anthology, a far better BF game.

If you can't get your money back or part-exchange it you could always set fire to it.💡

BF2 is crap!:yuck:
 
You do not know what you are talking about.^ Battlefield 2 is a great game. Sure, its buggy and a resource hog and should be able to run on less robust systems, but it's still a great game. It didn't get 9.0+ ratings from nearly everyone for no reason.
 
You probably don't have this problem yet, but if you ever get to a point where the game crashes in multiplayer, install Drivers 77.77...Just a tip for when you need it.

CS:Source : Game for 13 year olds with anger management issues. The truly retarded game, where you have to pay?!?! for weaponry. So, like a crappy government, the rich benefit... whilst the poor, suffer. Yeah, great game. :rolleyes:
 
There is a lot of idiots in CS:S, granted, but CS:S is huge there are far more people playing CS:S than BF2. So, of course it stands to reason, the more people, the more idiots, it's human nature.

But seriously, are you trying to tell me that there are no idiots playing BF2, :lol:, I've see people coming from other games to try BF2 and loose their cool in 5 min flat. The amount of TK, TW, vehicle TW or TK, spawn camping and just generally people ruining other people's game is astounding in BF2. Also stat whoring in BF2 is far more important to people than team play. At least in CS:S the admin is very thorough.

I'm going to ignore the paying for weapons, government, rich/poor crap, because it seem you have some personal issues there and it's not my problem.:D

I play CS:S and I'm not angry, I'm quite chilled and if people stress out too much I just ignore them or leave the server. I don't have to worry about playing the game continuously either, to get my stats up. Meaning that the sad no-life players unlock the weapons before me.

Sorry for the long post but I play CS:S among other games and I don't appreciate being insulted.:(

Well don't come into a BF2 thread and say it sucks then, you are doing yourself no favours :indiff:

I've played both for a long time and BF2 is still the more enjoyable. CS:S is great, i love the team play, the maps the simplicity of it all, but BF2 just brings a really cool battle experience. Charging across the battlefield with 10 other guys on foot backed up with a couple of tanks, a jeep and a blackhawk hovering overhead and you know it's on 👍
 
Play in better servers then :rolleyes:. Check out the Raging Rebels server, I've always had good games while playing there.

It's not THE BF2 thread , it's just a guy asking how he can get BF2 to work and I'm warning him of the game's problems. It's like warning someone not to buy a car that's known to be crap.

And say I really insulted BF2, I didn't insult the people playing it.💡

Yes BF2 can be better on well policed servers and if there are decent people playing it, but even then the numerous bugs, glitches, bad net and 3D code and lame balance still ruin the experience. Perhaps if those things would be sorted out it would be a great game but this game has been out for nearly 1 year and not much has been fixed. At least on CS:S I get updates constantly fixing problems and adding new content, FREE content! Not paying for every new vehicle or map added.👎

I don't mean to upset you guys that like BF2, I'm glad you do, I'm just warning a new player of what to expect if they play it, that's all.:)

I never said it was THE BF2 thread, i merely said that if you don't like people complaining at your completely groundless posts then you weren't doing yourself favours coming into A BF2 thread and saying it's crap. And for all it's problems (and i agree it has problems), it isn't crap.
 
IMA BATTLEGROUNDS is a good server. Try that one. Also when you look for servers on the left there are a bunch of small icons. The little patch of rank means it's a ranked server.

Fair dues mate, can't argue with that. Personal preference, democracy and all that.

You wait till I take over the world tough, I'll make it illegal to play BF2.:lol:
