    Hi. Does anyone here play battlefield 2 on their g1s? I just saw the game selling for $9.99, so I thought it was worth a try. But just want to see if there is any compatibility issues or bugs with the g1s. thanks :)

    No compatibility issues that I know of. The only thing I needed to adjust was the widescreen issue (since the game doesn't support widescreen out of the box), besides that it runs like a charm.

    When you're running it, make sure you have user account control off, and that you run it as an administrator, otherwise punkbuster will kick you out of the game.

    I played BF2142 on my G1S (before it died) and ran without any problems. Except punkbuster kept booting me (never had that problem on my desktop). I hear BF2 plays well also. I have the game at home, just haven't loaded it up yet.
