I play BF2 occasionally, but it's just such a task just getting into a server:

-Wait for the game to load
-Wait to connect to Account Server
-Find a good server(And wait a ridiculously long amount of time to get the player information for each server you click on)
-Wait for the map to load
-Wait to have your Client Data "Verified"
-Wait to load another map, just because it took you so long to load, that the one you were loading has already ended...So you have to now load the new map, and re-verify your client data.
-Wait for the Join game button to actually work
-Wait for your screen to load
-Get kicked from the server for a "High Average Ping of 105", and start the process over again from step 3.
- Your game crashes. Wait for your desktop to load.
-Start all over again

That's pretty what it's like for me, every time I play BF2. I'm in-game for 2 hours maybe, but only get to play for about 20 minutes. It just isn't worth it. If BF2 was as easy to jump into as Renegade is, then it'd be a whole lot easier for me to enjoy the game. Not to mention the numerous patches released that neither improve the gameplay, nor fix any of the major bugs.

Have you tried the latest patches? I think 1.3 (I think it was that one) fixed a lot of the load times. I used to think the same thing, then one of the patches drastically increased the load time. Another thing you have to think of is that BF2 has many more features than games like Renegade or CS which make it worth the extra 30 second - 1 minute wait. At least in my opinion.

BF2 is a good game. But back on topic, I downloaded the BF2142 demo the day it came out, but didn't install it until just yesterday. When I did, it installed without a single error (and I know for a fact that my computer meets minimum requirements) but I, too, go the DirectX errors and others (I think there were a total of four) but a BF2 buddy of mine said that if you do what Deathgod said, that will fix the game (google the missing files and isntall them manually). I have yet to try it ... I'm too busy with my C&C: The First Decade purchase Very Happy
