Anyone seen this before? I looked around and didn't find nothing. I don't have any idea if there is any truth to this or not, just came across it on a FEAR forum.

It shows a bunch of people and their video cards that can't play BF2.

Well at the bottom it says that 729,595 people who are unable to play bf2. The bargraphs are each video card the user supposively had. Again, I dont know anything about valve or why they'd be registering with them in regards to bf2 working, so I thought i'd throw it up here and see if anyone had a cluepon.

Yeah, what the heck does Valve have anything to do with BF2?

yay, and if ms logged how many people played aoe II without a gfx card that could play bf2, they would have way more people. face it: cs with gfx on all high still looks way worse than bf2 on super low.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

The 4/FX series were known for there horrible DX9 performance, so it also effects other games too.  (CSS for example plays like shit on those cards and use DX8)

Valve value their customers more than EA do, I played CSS for about 1.5years and gave it up.

I think these stats are quite interesting:
http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html

Im gona have a go at proving that picture wrong.
First off....the above picture isnt even on that page. Ok, lets assume it was an independant survery done via Steam and not posted on their website.
Looking at the stats collected, the original picture posted at the top is a fake. Notice on the valve website they capitalise the word "Video Card" everytime...whereas the picture at the top doesnt.
Also, Valve dont use the colon after their headings.

CS1.6? Yes. Agreed. But CSS? No way.
Have you seen CSS with high graphics compared to BF2 with low graphics?

Lets compare:

Well when I look at the picture, I see the image, and some guy having typed text ontop of it in white letters. I never once came to the conclusion that the white text was anything but put there at a diffrent time by the user. That does not disprove this image from having possibly been from a diffrent survey of some type. BF2's been out for how long? Year and a half now almost? Depending on when that survey was done, it could be old news thats been put into an archive, if it's even real.

Good try though.

lol totally untrue. no fucking way in hell. The Valve gamers would go ape.


The SS in the first post is from a Steam hardware survey, where at the end they tell you the stats of everyone else who's taken the survey. It's not fake at all. The thing is, this is a survey of ANYONE who has steam.  This includes oldschool DoD/CS/TFC/HL players, and even all those people who play 100's of other games on steam that have very low video reqiruements. This survey has NOTHING to do with BF2 probably all of those people who are unsupoorted don't have BF2 and most probably have no desire to get it even if they had a good enough video card.

I'm sure if you took a survey of everyone in the world, you'd find billions of people who are unsupported by BF2. And I'm sure if it was actually a serious problem, profit-hungry sell-this-crap-to-everyone EA would fix it.

What an amazing breakthrough.
