last time i checked,
the Source engine is far more advanced that the peice of terd which is known as the bf2 engine
how come i can put all settings* to high# and it can cause NO problems, restrictions etc. on the Source

but on bf2 all i can edit is Geometry,textures,texture filtiring and effects
and i have them all on high and i have no lag whatsoever

all this with a crappy ATI Radeon 9200 series and 1.5GB RAM

whats wrong?

*: AAS excluded
#: its the recomended setting

In that case...

BF2 and Source are 2 completely different games.

Source: Small maps that have high quality, the default settings when you install any source game are usually on High, any more than 12 players a side and you 'could' start getting lag. Plus it was out a few years before BF2 so you don't need much to run it well.

BF2: made for totally different gameplay, has 64 players, loads of vehicles, Huge maps, and can get quite detailed. You need 2 gig ram for starters if you even Hope to run BF2 on high quality.

I have always thought the source engine was pretty amazing (then again i have only played hl2).

To me it looks better than bf2, and performs a trillion times better.

play Insurgency (hl2 mod), it's possibly the hottest looking game on the market at the moment, and it's free!

Because the BF2 engine was made by a bunch of tards and the Source engine was not made by a bunch of tards. And source is rather optimized while BF2 is not.

no they don't look better, but they PLAY better. You see enemies much better on low settings. (all low, high resolution)
