A timely
new Battlefield 2 Community Update (thanks Frans) has details on creating a
BF2 account and the game's Battlerecorder function, as well as a demo note:
ATI Cards and Battlefield 2 Demo
In testing the demo, EA has encountered some visual issues on certain ATI cards
with the previous Catalyst drivers (5.5) and are working with yesterday's 5.6
release to discover if the issue is resolved. If in playing the Battlefield 2
demo you encounter texture corruption of any kind, we recommend rolling back to
the Catalyst 5.1 drivers. ATI is aware of this issue and is working to resolve
it.
A post to the
GameSpot Forums by GameSpot's Sam Parker made just minutes ago (thanks
Frans) states the Battlefield 2 demo has been finalized by EA and "It'll be up
in the next hour or less."
