What internet speed do you need? (Battlefield 2)

you can't nada 256 kb/s

I read it in a search engine and came to the conclusion that at such a speed it is quite possible to play normally on 16/32 cards
Batla eats about 60 meters on 64 cards full of people!
I would like to know from people who have tried or play battles at the same speed as mine ?!

I play at 64 speeds, it's completely normal - though I choose servers with a ping of up to about 150. And if someone here screams that it's impossible - it's possible !!! I'll tear like Tuzik a heating pad :))

If this is really true, then you made me very happy because in my city (Nizhny Novgorod) there is no unlimited Internet 256kb / s, and if there is, then with a traffic limit of 5GB, which is not GUT!

Again, I'm 100% sure that everything will be fine with you, I won't risk it - it all depends on your channel and your provider. I have BF2 version 1.02, there are a lot of servers, but with a normal ping about 20, some are empty, I don’t climb full ones (64 people each), there is meat and possible brakes, as well as traffic is stupid, but I also have a limit , then the speed will be cut, I choose where 20-30 people and forward.

Here, in confirmation of the above - there is a pipe with the Internet in general, continuous lags, ping changes endlessly, the punkbuster kicked me twice because of the ping, and from different servers, then 100, then once - and 999, in general, I spat on the battle today scored.

In your case, you need to score not on the battle but on the provider :)

Agree. Fortunately, such problems are very rare. And yet - at the moment this is the only provider to which I was able to connect to anlim. Of course, we have more in the city, but they have not yet reached my house with their paws. At least one thing pleases - a year ago we didn’t have anlims at all in Samara (or rather, they were, but at cosmic prices), but this year prices have begun to stir, of course, prices are not yet Moscow, but already quite sane, and there is a tendency to decrease them (with an increase speed). Before that, I generally sat on a moped for 2 years (what kind of games are there on the network :))

I have a speed of 64 kb / s will go)?

I play without problems. A lot depends on the ping - and the speed does NOT affect the ping. The size of the cards also does not play a big role. But the number of people and technology is of great importance. Do not climb on servers, where 64 people run, fly and ride tanks. But where 20 people run, fly and ride tanks, with a ping of up to 100, on a 64 size map - I had absolutely no problems.

To play normally on 16-32 bodies you need 128-256 kb / s, for more people and equipment you need 512.
If the thickness of your cable to the Internet is not enough, then the ping will increase.

"Latency (ping) - ping - the time period during which a packet sent from your computer passes to the server (and vice versa). In milliseconds"
What does the thickness of your channel have to do with it ??? It has nothing to do with ping and has nothing to do with it. The thickness of the channel only shows how much you fit into it.

Do you need a license to play online?

2 igorek44
If you have a clogged channel, then sending packets will be delayed, which means that the ping will increase and the packet loss will increase.

Tell me, in which case a file with a size of 10mb will go faster when you have 64kb / s or when you have 256kb / s

2 gamer2007
There are a number of servers where keys are not checked, but there are few of them and you need to look for them.

2 Tired Warrior. Well, let's argue. Essno a 10MB file will go faster when you have 256kb / s than when you have 64kb / s (probably 4 times). But only because you have more information transmitted at the same time per unit of time. And ping, otherwise called echo, doesn’t care how wide your channel is, because this width only works up to your provider’s server, and then it all depends on the trace. In order not to throw words, please, a simple example:

It was US. Well, and you can feel the difference? The thickness of your channel only matters up to the first point, there, by the way, the ping was 2 ms , this is with my 64 kb / s, and in the second case there are already 17 points and a ping at the end of 196. And it will be exactly the same, even if you have 64 kb / s, at least 5 mb / s. standing on the balcony, you pour out from the 5th floor either a mug of water or a bucket onto your friend Vasya standing below. Water, bouncing off the canopies of the lower balconies, flies right on his head. In which case will you pour more water? The stump where the bucket was is clear. But " e .... your mother "from Vasya's friend you will hear in the first and second cases after the same time. Draw your own conclusions.

Thank you, but what is the license itself?

Who exactly played the battle with a score of 64kb / s?

I DEFINITELY play. No, I don't have a license. You that, on three topics down cannot look? Read the last post

igorek44 is right, my sidekick plays 64kb / s at such a speed, I saw it myself

Thank you technotron. And then many have not even tried and argue. If the ping is small, then everything will work. And if it's big, then even 10 Mbps won't work at all. Of course, I'm not so stubborn and I will not prove that 64 speed is the best - essno 128 is better, and 512 is generally good. I will have brakes, but not because of ping, but on full maps, on large and full ones, on large, full ones and where there is a lot of equipment. Well, I wrote that I choose cards where there are 20-25 people or less. In November, I will connect to 128, but not because of the battle, 64 would be enough for me, but because of the traffic limit, we have 5 gigs for 64, and 10 for 128. Then the speed is cut to modem speed.
