Ok, so you know how when you are in a squad and there are small arrows showing where the people in the sqaud are in relation to you... well for some reason mine got really, really, enlarged and i couldnt see my screen at times.

No, I did not use paint... Thats exactly what I saw in game, if you dont believe me, oh well.

How would I have done that through paint? WTF

I'm about to reinstall BF2 and see if it goes away.... The green arrows are from it showing people in my squad, and the white ones are of supply crates and vehicle drops. I wish it was fake, then I wouldnt have to reinstall BF2.

I've had bigger arrows in the map view, but only 2-3 times normal size, and they didn't stick in game.

After having a friend send me a picture with blue and pink landscapes, I'm not going to doubt you....just have no useful advice. I'll assume that like his quirk and my slightly larger arrows, that yours went away with a reload.

I wouldn't reinstall it all yet. Try flushing your game cache and see if going through the graphics optimization jazz helps.

I would try reinstalling your video card drivers long before I re-installed the game. I've had similar problems that were fixed with a new vid driver.

thats almost as weird as the time the ground vanished and my gun turned inside out.

At least my problem was fixed when I closed BF2.

Attack of the giant arrows are always better than attack of the killer tomatoes.

So, I didnt reinstall BF2, I guess it was just that game. Sometimes I'll get in a Cobra and it starts to fiercely wiggle back and forth so its really hard to fly, I crash it on purpose and wait for it to respawn and its back to normal

GO EA!

Microsoft Paint FTW. Everything else is for pussies.

Alpha as fuck.

It's not done in paint or any other program, look at the text and the minimap, there is no way you could take a flat screenshot and put things behind certain objects.

Weird glitch, good luck with that.

If that ever happens again, just hit alt, that turns off things like that

I disagree. I have done things like that in Adobe Photoshop. It's called opacity.

The only one that looks like it could have been photoshopped is the 3rd one. Opacity makes the image more faint/see-through. You cant put items behind the 2D screen shot, ie, the mini-map and the jet guiders.
