well i dont have that many probs loading and my sys is ancient. Im not the first on and sometimes many others are a good deal ahead on the map. Id say its a combination of memory, HD speed. I got an old seagate Barracuda vii, 80 gig sata, 1.3 gigs of mem. But i religiously scan for spyware, viruses, malware and defrag. The fastest system in the world wont do jack sh*t if its stuffed full of crappy spyware and un-essential programs running in the background. Zone alarm was a pain in the ass for causing lag but that could be down to how i set it up. Avast seems fine.....whats a packet loss anyhow? my mate keeps getting kicked and punky buster says its due to packet loss entity or something.

Agreed. It shouldn't be the cost of your system that decides if you are going to win or lose.
HEH!  Now that is FUNNY!  Do you seriously believe this?  In war, the side with the best technology almost always wins the battle.  May be unfair, but this is the way the world works.  The sooner you accept this, the less frustration you will have in BF2 (and in life.)

I don't think it's loading time. For example. When I am on the SFR server The match will start and five minutes later there are still about 12 to 15 teammates for MEC that haven't gotten in the match yet. Then the other team just runs the map till we have one flag and just spawn camp. Its pretty lame.

Then on the next map everyone gets in on time.

Why does it seem to be all the laggers are on one team?

One time on Karkand, I spawned at the Hill flag. I got blow to bit by the M1A2 tank. So it took me so long to load that this guy could drive the tank all the way across the map. That sucked.

I usualy when the server switches to karkland I load just in time (on MEC) to see the APC go crusing by.  After  I load I have a 5-10 seconds 1FPS time.  Where every thing looks like a slide show.  Even though I see the APC go by (all 3 frames of it) I cannot do any thing about it.  Cannot even get the Q + mouse to work to call it out.

This on a 3000+ AMD 64, with Gforce 6800GT, and 1 GB of RAM.

and yes SFR is a great server.  City maps!

I like it. Sometimes I can even cap a flag before someone else gets in.

ok before you flame me, call me a n00b or what ever i used the huge SEARCH button and found jack shit to what some of your opinons are, when loading a map i dno karkand for example and you load in really really quick cause you have a top notch system and other players are still loading you and cap the 1st flag this puts the MEC team at a huge disadvantage seeming as they have already lost a flag and there tickets are already falling, i mean one time i joined the game spawned capped the hotel flag in a humvee and then took suburb before anyone else had spawned, dont you think that they should make it a bit more fair by waiting for everyone to load the map and then let people spawn some servers it says "the game will start in 10secs" although thats not enough really, also as a mate moans at me (as he has a shit system) people who are new to the game but have a good system load in first and take commander and then do nothing with it just play as normal which sux badly, is something going to be fixed about this in the new patch a i loked at the list and found nothing about it, i just think it kinda makes the game less fun taking all the flags with no one to give a fight i mean i love winning as im going for the war college ribbon (its never gna happen) but i just cant see that its fair for other players.
that's the longest sentence i have ever seen.

i spawn first on maps about 75% of the time, and i hope this never gets fixed

I've had my fair share of being first to spawn, and while its fun to cap a flag or 2 before you even see an enemy I'll agree that it is unfair. And yes server admins can set the spawning delay at map start to longer but then it just annoies the people who load quickly.

I would agree with the idea of starting the map once 5 players on each team have finnished loading, seems the best solution to me.

And as for the comment somebody made about needing to load fast to cover poor play ability, what does me upgrading my computer so I can play oblivion when it comes out have to do with my skill in bf2?

I used to be 1st in every game untill BF2 the hell if I am gonna by a nu 'puter jus to fly a blackhawk, there loss. I keep that thing alive for the whole game.
