Yes I haven't posted and yes I have been working a lot of hours at work. The long long 7 day a week thing is now over sortta.... I plan on posting some more pics from Battlefield2 but will also be installing Lightwave onto my faster computer and see what it can do. If it is a lot faster then I will be transfering all my stuff to it. If not, I will keep the other computer up and running for rendering stuff.

I have been working long and late hours. Since I am covering Football and they are starting their practices, I have to stick around till the coaches leave or finish using the computers to do a majority of their work. My hours are now letting me leave work around 9pm each night.

Because of this, I have just gone home and played a little with Battlefield 2 or opened up Lightwave and dabbled in it for a bit.

Ok I have been gone but not really gone. I have been playing a game that has me spending a lot of time just because I am excited about it. LOL It is called Battlefield 2 by Electronic Arts. I am going to post a ton of screen shots from it. It is awesome visually and pretty fun too. It is a First Person Shooter which I have hated in the past but this one is bigger and better. The maps are big enough that you can do what you want and have fun at it. There can be up to 64 people on per game but like I said, with the maps so big you can avoid the high traffic areas if you aren't into hand to hand combat death spawns.

Some of the screen shots are of me flying through the air after being hit with artillery, seems to happen a lot to me. Other shots are of the graphics and how it looks.

If you are interested in getting this game, you will need a 2.4gig machine with at least a 128meg video card with minimum specs (Nvidia 5600 or higher, ATI 9600 or higher). The game plays on my laptop with a 64meg 9600 card in it but runs pretty slow.

But onto the images. There are 22 images. At the end there is a link to the Battlefield 2 Quicktime Trailer that was taken with all ingame footage.

Here is the link to the Trailer.
