One day Thalin, one day.

Anyways, last night went okay. We only played 3 rounds, and it was just Wolf, Kamui, and myself. Both rounds were played on Wake. We lost the first 2 rounds, and then on the 3rd round Kamui dropped out but we still managed to win (hidden meaning perhaps?) Though, the best part was the awards Wolf and I got.
I got the Veteran Medic Combat badge:

And Wolf got the Meritorious Unit Ribbon:

Tonight?

I wanted to play last night but couldn't get in. =/

Tsk tsk :P

The first round was lost for Taco and Wolfie since I was on the opposing team (hint hint) and the 2nd round was lost because... I dunno actually :D

1min we were doing so well, then 2min later we lost all capture points ^^

Small server too since Star couldn't get in and I couldn't access my unlockable weapons for some reason (I miss you PKM!)

Oh pppft, I think we actually won the round after you left, but I can't remember exactly. It looks like you've encountered the rank bug, where the server assumes you're still a Private, or whatever the beginning rank is. Just quit the server and go back in again to stop that.

Unlike the Armour badge which I've earned but never received, my Meritorious Unit ribbon came through fine. Whooo!

Yesterday, I was called in to play a round with Thalin and Taco as a last minute kind of thing, but for some reason I was doing quite horrible no matter what kit I was using. I beat a hasty retreat. Sorry, Thalin.

Hey, I have played the battlefield series since it first came out. I bought 1942 at release. I have been playing BF2 for a while now, sort of sporadic since it's release since I have been getting my Masters degree but I love the game still. Here's my current stats:

Name: [MDK]Garthvader
Rank: Master Sergeant
Global Score: 36,525
Kills: 12,826
Kit: Medic, Anti-Armor
Specialty: Helicopter gunner

My clan is really a group of friends we are only about 6 members but all the members are good players.

Let me know next time want to play. I frequent the OBC uk server quite often now that it is summer time. MAybe I can catch one of you there.

I did not link to BF2s.com because it was leaving out over 3,000 of my points for some reason.

Hello, garthvadr3. Welcome to our little home here in GFF. We currently have weekly sessions every Friday night, so feel free to join us sometime. We all hang out on X-Fire (my username is Freelancewolf), so just IM one of us on Friday if you want to play. We currently only play plain BF2 and Euroforce maps, as not all of us have Special Forces.

In regards to clans, I have no desire to join one, as I'd have to put in some sort of commitment, and my schedule can change at the last minute at any time. Several of us are starting up a ladder, however, and we need a team name and a logo (none of which are finalized yet). If you have any suggestions, let us know.

I go to BF2stats and BF2s. One updates faster than the other though.

cool. I will try to be there on Friday night. I do not have X-fire but maybe I will get it. BTW, in regards to the patch, besides the well known crash to desktop issue, is anyone else getting connection problems randomly when playing. I read that some other people were getting this in the BF2 forums, I was wondering if you experienced it also. I have not been able to finish my last 3 fights because of this and am about to just trash the game till they patch this godawful crap patch. I can't remember the last time EA actually realesed a patch w/o having to repatch it. Ughh...getting frustrated with their lack of testing skills. I like the new features but the new bugs make the game really hard to play. BF2142 not to far off, maybe it will be less buggy.

Yes, and it's doing my head in.

I get connection problems too, but it doesn't occur often enough to make me want to throw the CD against the wall or anything.

I also get crashes too, but it never occurs while playing, only when starting up or when it's loading the map. I guess I'm just lucky.

LOL just happened again, I almost puched my monitor and then I remembered new wide screen LCD punch your face instead so I did that. Maybe I will send my brain damage bills to EA:)

Erm yah, I haven't actually had any problems with this patch yet though.

well, hopefully you wont have to deal with it because its probably one of the worst experiences ever. Imagine having the probability of a crash to desktop as soon as you press the join game button, or having the lost connection bug after you scored 80 points in a fight and then losing it all (3 times in a row). Or the server browser moving servers around when you press on them. I'm quite sure EA doesn't test anymore.

Oh, you mean problems with the new patch...nope, I haven't had any problems with it yet. The problems I've mentioned were general ones.

Strange, everyone on the BF2 forums are having the same problems that I am.

I've also heard on the GameFAQs forum (yes, yes, I know) that other people haven't had any problems so far. Maybe it depends on the server you're in.

hey I just re-install the game and would like to know On wich server you guys play?

Well, we don't play on any specific servers every Friday. We just look for one and play on that.

Unfortunately, BF2 has a bug that deletes everyone of your favourite servers, so the ones I've used were all wiped out once. I generally go to ones with good pings for me whenever I am playing by myself.

Inhert:
If you want some recommended servers, I regularly play on OBC the uk one, Badass clan, and Elite Sports. While OBC and Elite Sports are overseas and generally are listed with a ping of around 150, I never or at least rarely experience lag. Badass clan generally pings low. Most of the time these servers have good players so they are fun to play on.

I have a lot more in my favorites but I don't remember them now. Maybe I will post them later.

Okay, since Kamui will not be playing with us for the next few weeks (or so), I'm asking all of you regular players whether you want to continue the weekly sessions, or take a break until he comes back. Of course, if any new people wishes to take his place, then we can continue as usual.

Oh, and yes, there WILL be a session tonight. Be there, or be square!

I wouldn't mind playing just name the time an place. Just wondering, are any of you part of the get payedto play BF2 thing?

Hey guys, I've been tempted to buy this game for a long while now, but since the demo ran pretty shittily on my computer, I'm wondering if it's worth my time (I know BF1942 ran a whole lot better in the non-demo version). Does anyone here have specs similar to my computer?

Unfortunately, I won't be able to play until September even if I get the game now, since I'm going to be spending my summer across the country with my laptop that doesn't come close, but I'd like to know if it's worth trying. =/

Your processor is OK, you could do with another ram stick and possibly a new graphics card, although your current one may be ok on low settings.

Do you have X-Fire? We all use that for our sessions. If you do, you can chat with me at username freelancewolf. We usually don't have any start time, prefering to wait for a sizable amount to show before we start. I have no idea what the 'get paid to play BF2' thing is, though.

Oh, and yeah, what Thalin said.

Have you guys ever gone sniping with a tank before? I got to do it a few days ago for kicks and giggles at Kubra Dam. A couple hundred meters or so west of the Refueling Station (that little building on the hill around the middle of the map) I managed to get in a tank up on those cliffs to the west and just sat there at the edge pounding the place. Granted, I only got two kills from it, but the idea alone and actually saying I've done it was worth the fun involved.

As for joining you guys today, I might be around a little bit this afternoon/evening, but I dunno if it'll be at the same time as you've established. I really need to get my mike settings fixed too.

Oh, do you guys actually use Gamespy for getting your list of servers to join, or do you just pick from the list that comes up in-game?

EDIT: For you engineers, I figured this out some days ago but haven't really seen anyone else do it, so I don't know if this is anything new to you or not. Have you ever tried booby-trapping vehicles with AT mines? For example, a tactic I've seen fairly frequently in Karkand is the USMC driving clear to the back of the MEC base and stealing the MEC's tank or APCs. A little trick I learned on my own that acts as a preventative measure for this is that I'll crawl under the vehicle and drop an AT mine there. That way, if anyone not on my team hops in that vehicle (or comes close to it in another vehicle, it's happened that way too), they go boom the moment they get in or start moving and wonder what just happened. Kind of the whole "If my team can't have it, nobody can" deal, you know? Give it a try sometime. If placed well, they won't even know it's there unless they actually stop and look underneath. I have a good laugh when, for example, someone kills me and they run off in some direction, and then I hear an explosion because they got in a vehicle I did this with. Funny stuff. One other note on that: if you drop a mine where a vehicle is not present but usually can be found, the mine will blow up when the vehicle spawns without destroying the vehicle. I don't know whether or not this is the case with vehicle drops.
