I get this all the time when i mass spot when times come to it. It's basically the games way of "teasing/taunting" you.

The plan is to get it out before Christmas yes

So we can test this beta in three weeks

But i was wondering if release a beta isn't a good way for hacker to break the security and then easier break the official release ?

and is there a possibilty that ea/dice are going to fix the hit registration cause now lots of people are fixing this by editing there usersettings.con

'Security by obscurity' never works in the medium-to-long term for the class of systems to which the BF2 application belongs. Releasing the beta is definitely a very good idea.

Even if they didn't have access to the beta, they will have access to the final release a bit later, won't they? So, if the new security implementation can be cracked so easily, they will crack it a couple of months later anyway - not a solution in the long term. The correct long-term solution is to design things properly, so that even if the details of the implementation are known, they leave no holes open for easy cracking.

[Battlefield 2] Battlefield 2 Update 1.50 Security Features
A few months ago we announced Battlefield 2 Update 1.50 was in development, but so far we have been quiet regarding the content of the update. It is time for us to reveal some of the features the update will contain! The priority for us in this update has been to secure Battlefield 2 against a number of attacks against the game.

We have spent time looking into the attacks and implemented short term solutions with the help of GameSpy to limit the impact of stats padding and leaderboard abuse. Other issues have been found to be game and server based, which is where Update 1.50 comes in. what Battlefield 2 1.50 will contain a number of security updates, including the following:

- Server crashing – We have worked with the issues causing servers to crash, which has caused problems for the community (especially those who rent ranked servers).

- Name/ID spoofing – Extra steps have been implemented to ensure the soldier being used belongs to the right account.

- Commander assets – This is to stop the excessive spawning of multiple crates, UAVs or vehicles.

More information on Update 1.50 will be revealed as we approach the release date!

Having an advantage was not the reason why widescreen was not put into the game. If you know where it might be commented by DICE as that being the reason then feel free to show us; as I have never seen that and it would be new to me. If you can show me that then I will stand corrected.

The only things that I have ever seen about it are threads were people argue that other players have advantage over them because they can see a little more to the left and right of the screen.

you are still misunderstanding.
you can NOT call having TV-OUT a "FEATURE"
no games say on the box "TV-OUT compatible"
THIS IS AN IMPLIED FEATURE CAUSE IT WORKS WITH ALL ITHER GAMES
I CHALLENGE YOU TO FIND A GAME THAT TV-OUT DOES NOT WORK.

THIS WAS NOT FEATURE LEFT OUT OR NOT INCORPORATED.

IT WAS A SCREW UP!

WIDESCREEN GAMING IS A FEATURE.
it will state it somewhere in the readme or on the box.

[VectorRoll]

I am not even talking about TV out.

[USAxGMF]

for the programmer:
just "ADD" this info in the correct area.

800x600x32@30hz
1024x768x32@30hz

ok now everyone is happy.....

for the widescreen fix......it never will be because you can not have widescreen playing 4:3 in multiplayer as there is a clear advantage to the widescreen person.

they would have to change the aspect ratio in the game instead of just streching the standard 4:3 screen (this is a dirty way to get the job done)....if you change the aspect ratio "inside the game" AND then ADD the widescreen resolution it will be proportional and not be streched and it will look correct.

ex:

make a perfect circle in the center of your screen in 4:3 resolution.

now if you do the cheat "szx and szy" to make it go into 16:9 then that circle will not be a circle anymore it will get STRECHED.

now if the developers changed the ASPECT RATION in the game FIRST then when you do the "szx and szy" to make it do 16:9 it will be a TRUE circle.....then when you tell the game to do 4:3 then the CIRCLE would not be a circle again....

to do widescreen it has to be PROGRAMMED

to do tv-out NOTHING SHOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT ALL.
THEY SCREWED THE POOCH AND JUST DIDNT ADD THE 30HZ
simple as that.

lala, widescreen is not a cheat and every modern game supports it. Good videocards are also an advantage over cheap videocards, you 'll get more detail, further viewing distance, etc... so I take it you consider this cheating too. You 're saying that people with a WS should be forced to play with either a stretched or zoomed image which is totaly ignorant. We lose both top and bottom of our screen now so it 's the people playing with a 4:3 res that have the advantage now...

boy you can tell you didnt read anything.

i dont know what planet you are from BUT WE ARE TALKING BATTLEFIELD 2 AND BATTLEFIELD 2142!!!!!

TweakGuides.com - Battlefield 2 Tweak Guide

Note the addition of the +szx and +szy commands which respectively set the width and height of the resolution to be used. Substitute other values for other resolutions (e.g. +szx 1900 +szy 1200). Also note that as of the 1.03 Patch, 1280x1024 is now a supported resolution and can be selected within the in-game settings, so you don't need to use the +szx/+szy commands to force it anymore.

ok now that we cleared that up
BF2 AND BF2142 CHEAT!!!!!!!!
THEY STRECH THE SCREEN
THE ASPECT RATIO IS NOT FIXED
DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW??????

Huh...

Obviously you don't get it, lay off the CAPS and try reading instead. I am talking about BF2 and even with the shortcut commands, you still lose part of the top and bottom on a WS monitor, it does stretch the screen but it also zooms the image. I took screenshots of 4:3 and 16:10 res to compare, I know what I 'm talking about...

the more YOU TALK the more I LOVE IT.

ZOOM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH >>>ASPECT RATIO<<<.

doing the SZX and SZY >>CHEAT<< does NOT UNCROP the 4:3
the whole game was DESIGNED in 4:3
by changing it to 16:9 DOES NOT ADD ANY NEW INFO TO THE SCREEN.....IT >>>STRECHES<<< the screen.

I REPEAT YOU WILL SEE THE SAME EXACT PICTURE OF THE 4:3 SCREEN BUT JUST STRECHED ONTO A 16:9 DISPLAY.

with a REAL 16:9 picture going down to a 4:3 picture the SIDES are CROPPED.

you really should just be quiet before you make yourself look more unknowledgable then you already have.

USAxGMF:
I don't think that flaming DICE and posting so much about the same subject is going to help you. I believe that DICE will not care about loosing the SINGLE person complaining about not having this issue fixed. I understand how you could be annoyed, but my recommendations:
-- buy a normal computer monitor like EVERYONE else
-- or, forget about BF2 and BF2142 and play other games.

Stop posting about the same subject over and over...

I will continue checking this post for relevant information regarding the new 1.5 patch -- I am really glad that DICE is trying to help with the hackers and security issues. You know they (DICE) don't really have to since they are not making any money on this game at the moment (you can get it here in the US for $10.00). Most likely, they are doing this to test features they will be adding to new games.
There are a lot of other things that a lot of us will like, but I think that those will be available (hopefully) on the next BF2 game. Hopefully, DICE uses all the feedback obtained from server stats (maps, etc.) and forums as guidelines for the next Battlefield game. Hopefully, they don't make it as tedious as Project Reality or as annoying (I did not like the idea of having to unlock even basic grenades and defribilators, etc.) as BF2142.

Just my 2 cents...

LOL
Now that is what I was talking about. Resolutions with lower refresh rates.

I am still at a loss at where you thought that I was talking about TV out. Especially since I was just talking about refresh rates. In fact I think that you were the only one that brought up the TV out thing.

Any ways... Like I said in post #98 of this thread. It all narrows down to if they want to add support for lower refresh rates or additional refresh rates.
After all; when they added the wide screen for BF2142; this is exactly what they did; except that none were below 60 Hz. But the did add additional resolution at certain frequencies.
Maybe they will do this. After all I did ask them to look at this thread the other day before all of that misunderstanding that you seemed to have with what I was talking about.

Oh and for those that may decide to start changing their text size to make their post all crazy looking; please do not. I do not want this thread to go all crazy here. It is already intense enough.

Sais the guy who plays pc games on a TV... since you don't have a WS monitor, you should probably stop discussing this cause you have no idea what you 're talking about.

this is probably the most needed feature as many of us use our regular CRT TV`s to game on.

It is widely know that with BF2 and BF2142 that if your display device does not do a refresh rate of 60hz minimum that the game simply will not work.

It will just show a black screen for a minute then crash back to desktop.

i just a have a regular (non-hdtv) sony 27" crt tv that has a composite in and only shows avail refresh rates in the nvidia control panel for 28hz or 30hz....BF2 and BF2142 DO NOT WORK WITH ANYTHING LESS THEN 60hz.

everyone of my other games work fine (and i have alot and also alot older and new then bf2 and bf2142)

Anyhow stop the cheaters and fix it so we can game on regular TV`s and i would be very happy....dont forget to fix BF2142 so we can also game on TV`s.

30Hz is an overscan/underscan limitation of Vista on TV displays along with nVidia drivers.
nVidia support have said this may appear in future drivers they release so keep an eye on their releases.

We will be telling everyone more at a later date.
