Question about Comparison of BF2

[-IRC-MIKE]

I have a question about BF2 and COD4 comparison.

Of the two, in your experience, which game is more resource intensive?


I know my old pc used to run BF2 perfectly until one of the patches about a year ago, and afterwards it got kinda choppy but I did not check my resolution settings to see if I could eliminate video lag by turning down some settings. The patch may have changed my settings to default and may have been the cause of the lag. I had already started playing another game so I quit playing bf2.

The reason I ask is this: If I can run COD4 seamlessly on my current pc, I need to find out if BF2 will run(with the latest patches) OR has it become a memory hog as compared to before when I used to play.. I don't want to purchase the game if my pc won't run it.

If you can run cod4 seamlessly you should be able to run bf2 seamlessly

COD4 is more demanding on your CPU and GFX. But i've noticed that BF2 uses more RAM/Page File. Takes longer to load the maps too. Thought it would be faster on my new PC.

yeah COD4 is waaay more advanced graphically etc than BF2

BF2 = Good

COD4 = Good

Therefore BF2 + COD4 = Gooder

BF2 + COD4 + CainsLair = Goodest

Nice.

What I mean is .. am I going to have to purchase a new PC or Graphics upgrades just to play? I can run COD4 but not on highest settings.

I have an ati X-1300 video card with 512 mb ram and:

If you can run COD4 with lower settings and no problems you will be able to run BF2 with not problems and probably higher settings.

Much gooder...or goodier

No...if you're running CoD 4 fine you're not going to have a problem graphics wise running BF2.
