I just reinstalled my OS and therefore BF2 as well. I want to make it so the intro movies don't appear when loading the game. I can't remember what forum I found the 'how to' on. Maybe someone can help me out with this.

Also, if there are any other tips people have done to tweak their programs...let me hear em. This is what I'm running just so you know.

AMD XP 3200+
ASUS A7N8X Rev 2.0
ATI X800XL
2G PC3200 RAM
74G Raptor (BF2 is on it) + 80G Maxtor IDE

Right after the Dice logo fades out, the Battlefield 2 screen appears with sponsor logo's and whatnot. As soon as it starts fading into the intro movie, hit escape...

This site includes the removal (renaming) of the movies and much more, really nice guide:

http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_1.html


Here is the quote for the movies:
"Simply rename the relevant files in your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies\ directory to something else (e.g. rename the Intro.bik to Intro.backup). The files to rename are: Dice.bik, EA.bik, Intro.bik, Legal.bik and Welcome.bik. This will mean the intro movies are all skipped as BF2 starts to load. If you find the movies playing in the background of the Login screen and Settings screens annoying, you can also rename the menu.bik and menu_loggedin.bik to something else as well."

I went into the \Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies folder and deleted every movie except the files that start with menu*.  Saves quite a bit of time trying to get into the game, and a decent amount of hdd space to boot.

thats easy, rename "Movies" to "Movies1" in /Battlefield 2/mods/bf2 and
also in /Battlefield 2/mods/xpack if u got the expansion.
just some stupid tools like bf2autoloader etc. will not work anymore but they are imo useless anyway.
