Well I just got the game, and I am having trouble installing it. I get about 90% done and I get a message that says Installation Has Failed, Try again or something along those lines. It fails at the file movies/intro.bik.

Any recommendations?

Ouch.

Ummm, try returning your game for a new one. Also, try getting rid of the movie files, it might help. Not sure, tough luck bro. :\

Ya, most likely just uninstall all files, go to your C drive, then to program files, then to ea games, and just delete that file (if that is your only EA game. Otherwise, just delete your bf2 file) then try and reinstall. see if that works.

yeah, make dummy movie files (like a notepad file that you rename to intro.bik) and try to load it again...

Amazing how fast I get responses in this forum. I looked at the disk surface and there was a dirty ass smudge on on it. I got the bastard cleaned and am now reattempting. +1 to the both of ya

I shall disguise my spam with legitimate posts. For example

Ive never played bf2 before and I plan on hopping straight into multiplayer.....any advice??? I cant wait to get slaughtered. I bet it will feel nice having everyone playing be about a dozen ranks above me. Btw killing people is fun

I recommend joining an infantry only server at first, just to get a feel, and you won't have to worry about those tanks. Just type this into the search:

24/7 Karkand

Then look for ones that say infantry only, I highly recommend the 16 player ones.
