Ok i have a slow internet connection (24kb sec) and I when I tried to play online it keeps telling me it failed to connect to server. I would like to try online (although I understand there will be serious lag-o-thon). Why would it do this.

well thats the solution. I am sure that your just not in sync with servers.
Most likely given your 24kbps connection, it is most likely due to date packet loss when you are attempting to connect to a server, and if I might say, you will lose mucho data packets when you try to play online with a connection like that : /
Battlefield uses approximatly 10-12kB/s download, and 2-3kB/s upload... This is for optimum gameplay. Were you saying your line was 24kbps? (Because thats a weird speed. I thought the only available were 14.4kbps, 33.6kbps and 56kbps). Or were you saying it's capable of 24kB/? Which is a 256kbps line. I just thought I'd ask because u said "kb per sec"... and maybe u meant kB per sec. If it IS a 24kbps then it's below the minimum spec of ISDN to play battlefield, sorry :( If it's infact the 256kbps line then u should have no problems and might wanna try a few things out, like downloading a program to check packet loss.
well i have a 56k modem and when I connect it says i connect at 24000 bps so thats 24kbs. All hell Ill forget it. I probably wouldn't have fun anyways (lag-o-rama). Thx anyways guys.

You would only get frustrated with the lag with your low connection. Maybe find a server with a couple of people, and the lag might be acceptable.

I've seen posts by people with 56 k playing happily in 8 person servers...
