If you have a 64 bit operating system, make sure you have 64 bit Java installed. You have to go to the java site with IE to be able to download it. 64 bit Java solves a lot of common problems, including the having your view distance set to Far crashes.
I'd definitely download and play a good amount of 1943. It was my first Battlefield and I felt pretty well at home in the BC2 Beta, between 1943 and either Modern Warfare (my experience) you should be pretty comfortable getting into BC2.
