It has support for BF2. Double click on the server you want and away you go. Works for a heap of other games aswell.

That finds them ok, but if I try launch from there it just says "you cannot launch from ASE" something like that. :confused:

366899 2005-06-27 04:09:00 I got the same thing, cannot join server from ASE, so you have to launch the game the old fashioned way....

Anyhow, when I played the game last night I had none of the earlier issues, she fired up,logged me into my account and displayed the games all sweet as.

Went alright for half an hour or so, then I spawned on top of a building, jumped down to the next level,caught 4 players un-awere, Proceded to machine gun them all to bits....muhahahhaha......then realised we were all on the same side and I had just TK'd em....


Lmao.Called it a night after that.

I have so been there. Not with BF2 so far, I'm only on about my 2nd TK (and one was reversing over a player in my Humvee) but I did that once with Starsiege.

I know EA says they are fixing the server ranking stats updates, but I've been playing since some time on Friday almost exclusively on ranked servers and my stats have been updated just twice. It still claims I've played for 2 hours 20 minutes, when by now it must be closer to 6 hours or more. Kinda depressing starting it each time and seeing I'm still no closer to promotion.

366901 2005-06-27 05:43:00 Something dodgy is going on behind the scenes, Gamespy was meant to be powering the online play, seems that deal fell apart between the game going gold and being released to market, The account creation was (aperently) to be done at gamespys end (as Growly stated) but it seems its really registering on an EA server. Also its reported that even though gamespy is bundled with the game, they have no suport for it,no matchmaking abilities,no nothing.

Also all gamespy logo's have been removed from EA bf2 sites.

I have seen numerous discussions on the subject, though I managed to close the tabs they were open in, I have this one (possibly one of the poorer examples, Our crusaders would have a feild day)

366902 2005-06-27 05:45:00 Really?

Wonderful! Soon I will be able to reclaim my nickname!

Some bugger on Gamespy took it, and it wouldn't let me register it :(

Looks like there is a lot of confusion. All I know is that the ramking stats are not getting processed, even in 24 hours, days after EA said they were sorting it out, which makes a bit of a maockery of the whole online stat feature.

Its amazing how closely the game mirrors real life.

366905 2005-06-27 12:52:00 According to posters at the iconz forums no stats are being uploaded from those servers, yet Xtra servers are doing it within minutes... Metla (12)
