[PC] Battlefield 2

I wish I could play. I first heard some friends tell me about it so I downloaded the demo. I had fun with that until my video card fried, conveniently before a friend of mine was gracious enough to get the game for me. The demo was fun, though.

I so wish I could've seen the look on this one guy's face when he hopped into a jet, only to get blasted by one of his own base's tanks that I conveniently hopped into when I saw him making a break for the jet. Classic.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah what the hey. I've had this game for a a good while, but my rate of play is erratic. Sometimes I don't play for a while, then other times I play lots. I'll just follow the standard listing others have done.

Profile: Mr_Josiah
Rank: Sergeant
Kit: Medic, Engineer, Anti-Tank
(No Special Forces)

EDIT: Added Medic to the list of kits, and made it to Sergeant.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I somehow managed to get it, albeit a little slowly, from EA. Took a little over an hour or so. I saved a friend the headache by copying it to my flash drive when it was done. Thank goodness for the gig capacity! I didn't have any problems of that sort, but I did d/l the incremental patch first. However, I wasn't sure if it was what I really needed or not, so I went and got the full patch, which is what took a little more than an hour.

Those vehicle drops are weird. I've heard of people dying from those dropping on them, lol.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

After days of trying, I finally get the Veteran Medic Combat Badge (and the Gold Star, too) in a round last night and neither bf2s.com nor BFHQ records it at all. Does this have to do with the recent patching, or is it just a crap ranked server that I played on?

Oh, and last I checked, I haven't been added to the list yet. I've been editing the post of my stats since then, so it should be up to date.

How ya doing, buddy?

BF2S was denied access to the EA ranked statistics a while back when they had instant update, it and many other sites constantly pulling that data put a huge strain on EA tracking servers, so they had to impose limits. Basically you just need to give it a few minutes to update your stats.

I've given it a day. My time as a medic went up (among a few other minor things), but no badges.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
