Battlefield 2

I can see why they had to do that, with all those other things happening that year.

Wake Island, Kharkov, Iwo Jima, Omaha Beach, Stalingrad, Tubruk, Africa...quite an assortment of battles & strategies.

Time for the geezer line...I was playing video games before you were even a gleam in your daddy's eye.

Why would he need third-party drivers for a Microsoft joystick and a Microsoft operating system?

Because they're both Microsoft
These are the people who brought us both WinME and SP2

It's out. Single player capability is limited but available.

But the biggest complaint that we have with the game is the steep hardware requirements. You'll need a beefy video card: the minimum is a GeForce FX 5700 or a Radeon 8500. If you don't have the proper card, or the proper driver, the game dumps you unceremoniously to desktop without as much as an error message. We've got machines here at GameSpy with GeForce Ti 4600s that are capable of running Half-Life 2 or DOOM 3 with solid framerates, but Battlefield 2 won't even run on these systems. It seems that a huge audience could find themselves shut out of this game, which is a shame; if you've been looking for a good excuse to pick up a new video card, this might be it.
