Stopgap Measure

While looking up tips on what unlock to choose I found out that you can bypass the four unskipable EA/Dice/Legal/Welcome screens by going to (Your BF2 directory)\mods\bf2\Movies and moving Dice.bik, EA.bik, Legal.bik, Intro.bik and welcome.bik (everything but the two menus.bik) to some other folder.

This lets you go straight to the login.  I don't typically mind logos being shown at the beginning of games but I get really pissy if they don't let me hit escape or click through them.

Nice! The load time for this beast is way too long as it is- this should help a bit. Thanks for the tip.

Sorry, thought you guys knew this already.

But the correct way I was told to do it is just rename them in the folder so you don't get problems with punkbuster. I just prefixed all the files with a "1".

I've had this done for a couple weeks now. Can't live without it.

You can move/remove/rename the menu ones as well.
