    Disabling the Intro Movies



    The introductory movies to BF2 are quite annoying, and generally increase startup times for the game. To disable them, you should not delete the movie files - this may cause problems with Punkbuster. Instead, simply rename the relevant files in your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2 Demo\mods\bf2\Movies\ directory to something else (e.g. rename dice.bik to dice.backup). The files to rename are: demo_b2legal.bik, demo_bf2release.bik, demo_demolegaltext.bik, demo_locknload.bik, dice.bik, EA.bik and Nvidia_logo.bik. This will mean the intro movies are all skipped as BF2 starts to load.


    If for any reason you experience any problems with the above method, you can download and use the blank movie files from here: SkipIntroBF2.zip (2KB) instead. Backup your movie files first, then extract the contents of this .zip file into your \movies directory.

    I just renamed the folder m0vies or vide0s or whatever. Sure I get an ugly grey menu background, but it's not like it was anything amazing to begin with :D. Means I have all the files too, so if PB or a patch has a problem, then I can just rename it back.

    I went to C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies and renamed Dice.bic, EA.bic, Intro.bic and Legal.bic. Now when i go to load bf2 it just goes straight to the login screen. Sweet :D

    It only disables the video playing in the background, the menus still work fine.

    Past experience with all of the battlefield games and even the BF2 demo has shown that you can just delete all the movie files; simple.

    Yeah, all the yellow writing and boxes and outlines etc.. are there, but the video in the background is not there.
