Hello,
I know there are a few threads about EA games, but I'm trying to compile a better understanding of the performance of Battlefield 2142 on a range of Macs.
The performance on my first generation Intel iMac (2GHZ Core Duo, 1.5GB RAM, X1600 128MB) isn't good. I'd say near unplayable. I've reduced all the settings to low, but increased draw distance to 100%. The resolution is set at a wonderful 800x600.
I've played on a variety of servers, with different numbers of players ranging from 4 to 40. I've also ran through a range of maps in both Conquest and Titan mode.
The game runs slowly and occasionally stutters very badly. I haven't recorded the FPS yet, but I'd imagine it'll be well under 24FPS. The patchy performance coupled with the ridiculous resolution really makes the game quite dull to play.
If you have the game, what sort of machine spec do you have and how has BF2142 performed? I'm hoping that it's better on newer machines.
Thanks.
