finally got some good multiplaying in last night. ive been getting the constant kicking issue. although i think i might have found the cause. in one of my attempts to check task manager to see if the punkbuster services were running (though im not getting punkbuster kick, just "regular" kicks) and i noticed i had two instances of the game .exe running. yet, the game was NOT running. i had exited and was browsing forums looking for clues to my kicks. i killed all the game exe processes and the first server i joined, i was able to play for a couple hours without issue. i eventually quit cuz it was almost midnight and i had to get up a 515am. i dunno if the multiple instances of the game exe running was the issue or not, but could be. ill see if i can duplicate it tonight.
in other news, it was super fun. this may not be a true bf2 sequel, but it sure feels like battlefield and i like. my only complaint (aside from the obvious kicking and server browser issues) is that the zoom is a toggle. i cant stand that. i like holding the mouse button to zoom and letting go of it to zoom out. having to press it again to unzoom is annoying! they dont make crouching a toggle, but they do the zoom? dumb. at least let us choose!
