well i for a while now i was thinking about getting battlefield 2142 (i already have battlefield 2) but then i realised:i wont be able to play because if i play on international servers (im in new zealand and when i go on game monitor.com i see no titan servers) on titan mode i will get like 400 ping. and i think bf2 is better at conquest so i really dont need this game. i have been thinking about cs for a while: should i get cs1.6 or source?

my specs are (i have a laptop):

intel celeron M 1.8ghz rated at 2ghz

1340mb ram pc4200

ati radeon xpress 200m 256mb Vram

i want a game with squad communication (i have a headset to use for voip) and most imporatntly lots of people playing. which one do i get?????

Honestly I'm surprised your laptop would play battlefield 2 at any settings. It's not the most ideal laptop for CPU and GPU intensive games. Beyond that I agree with the poster above.

thanks man......i think this card is way too under rated but lets get back on the topic also i hate it how if you got the most kick ass pc and you go to a game like bf2 and ask if i can play it people will always say: ohhhhh i dunno man you might get away on low etc etc but back on the topic which one to get!?!?!?!?!

You did post in your first post that you can run BF II right? Again I'm surprised if that's what you're implying in your first post. If it's not I'd look into CSS like the other guy said. Americas Army used to run on lower end machines but I'm not sure about recent updates to the code.

i was implying that i dont want 2142 just because of the conquest mode because bf2 does it better thats it.
