[PC] Battlefield 2

What time do you get off on Fridays? You can always hop in when you get home. Chances are we'd probably still be playing.

Update: What about Thursday night then? Thursday or Friday would be good days to play.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!

Due to unforseen circumstances, Taco is unable to make it for Friday's session. Therefore, I propose we reschedule it for Sunday night. Monday's a holiday for Canada, so I'm off that day. Is anyone game, or is there another day you want to set it down for?

How ya doing, buddy?

Whassup, you guys? Don't forget, we're having a good ol' gaming session tonight. I'm expecting at least three people tonight, and anyone else who'd like to join can do so.

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

OK let's make 9pm the start time then. If you can't make it at that time, then mention it here. Maybe we can work something out.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Damn, that's sure a lot of changes. I'll be getting the patch now that you've told me.

P.S. Oh wow, the stats sig is back up! I missed those :D Too bad I just changed my avatar and sig though :(

We should definitely get a session going with the new updates soon. This Friday as usual, guys and gals. Oh wait, I'm the only gal :(

P.P.S. I just checked the new features and am intriqued by the co-op mode.

Oh, here's my BF2 stats if you guys wanna see :D



OK this gamespot DL is taking FOREVER...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Okay, help me out here. I DLed the patch but when I doubleclick on it, I hear a noise as if it's installing, but I don't get a single dialogue or text box stating that. I find that very strange. Did it also happen to you, Taco?

FELIPE NO

Okay I have version 1.1.2720-552 0
Is that right? Any news on when Armoured Fury is coming out?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Okay I am installing the latest patch as I speak. Thanks a lot for your help, Kamui!

That means tonight's session is still open. Only Kamui's on right now, so come into X-Fire if you guys wanna play! However, there's no news on the time we're going to play yet. As soon as we get several people, we're going to start.

UPDATE: That was fun, everyone who joined. I did the best tonight I think, with over 70 points. I also got the Meritorious Unit Ribbon on top of that. You can never have enough awards :D

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

FELIPE NO

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!

Most amazing jew boots

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sorry, no can do. I promised someone else I'd play NoLF 2 with her today. I just got the game yesterdayand she wants to try the co-op missions.

Update: For all of you who didn't take part in tonight's session, there's always next time. I sure had lots of fun tonight. My best moment was in the Karkand server, where a whole bunch of enemies were crowded around one specific location. I opened fire on them (I was Support) and killed more than six of them at once, even a medic reviving a fallen comrade. I love it when I go Rambo style :D

Even better was one of our fellow GFFers who was promoted to First Sergeant today. Congratulations! He doesn't post in this thread, so I doubt he will see this.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Mmm, the member list at top needs to be updated. I know that Taco got Euroforce, for example. If there's anyone else who needs to get their 'stats' updated, or needs to get added to the list, let me know either through this thread or through PM, and I'll get a hold of Jinn and give him all the updates.

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

Guys! Armoured Fury is coming June 6th, 2006. Only 2 days away! Unfortunately, I can't get it right now, due to real life reasons. Perhaps towards the end of June.

Do you mean the X-Fire sig, or the sig that shows your BF2 stats? If it's the former, go to xfire.com. Of course, you do need X-Fire before you can get a sig. If it's the latter, go to www.bf2player.com. It's pretty darn wonky, though. Lots of times the sigs disappear.

I don't agree with that. Sure, Euro Force and Armoured Fury are integrated into the normal BF2 map servers, but I've rarely seen any servers that actually did so. Pretty much all the servers with EF maps are the ones which have ONLY EF maps. Judging from my experiences, I don't think it's dividing up the community.

What irks me is why Special Forces doesn't integrate into BF. I'd love to see a server with nothing but BF2, EF and SF urban maps.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow...I didn't think they'd allow my idea to get onto Wiki. Maybe we can get more members now that we're 'official,' heehee. I wouldn't even now how to get started with a Wiki page, so thanks for getting it off the ground, Skexis.

Is it possible to put the 'stats' in a table? The headings could be Member, BF2 name, Kit, Expansions, etc. That would clear up the clutter.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hey, it's currently 6:30pm EST and only Star's on to play in tonight's session. Is there anyone else going to be in? No word yet on when we'll start.

FELIPE NO

I'm number 5.... *sob!*

Okay, so I suck, but hell, the game is still fun!

Oh, and I just got off tonight's session, which, sadly, started a lot later than I thought it'd be. Although I did good in one round (rubs the nice shiny Infantry Combat Ribbon she just got), our side lost every time. I blame our crappiness for 1) the rest of the teammembers on our side, and 2) Taco and Kamui weren't around to even the score. Only Star, Toku and I played.

Taco, stop being lazy and fix your damn computer so we can get back on track! :D

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, you have to keep in mind that AF just came out. It's to be expected that there'd be lots of servers running it. It should die down in a bit.

Being a fanatic, I'm willing to get anything BF2 related anyway. I love expansions too, so it's a no brainer that I'm gonna be getting AF. Taco's going to get it too, so we can have nice rounds together :3

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I got AF yesterday and spent my time taking screengrabs for a friend who doesn't have BF2 but is interested in playing it. Today, I actually played the game to get a feel of the maps and...stuff.

In my humble opinon, AF is better than EF in terms of the new vehicles (land based, as I can't fly worth a damn) and maps. AF has more varied terrain, which is a refreshing change of pace from the maps we've seen in BF2 and EF. You get a map set on a frickin' freeway, complete with truck stops and shopping malls, one set in a peaceful farmland (until the tanks come rolling in) with rows upon rows of wheat fields and farmhouses, and one set at night.

There's more background noises too, which sends an awesome sense of ambiance as you're playing. You can hear wolves howling in the night map (I love the sound of wolves howling), and a storm's about to break in Operation Harvest (the farmland). You can actually see a dark cloud cover in the sky, complete with thunder and lightning! I've seen lightning up close and it's a sight to see. I have no idea if they can damage vechicles and buildings though.

For all you armour whores, this booster pack is for you. I've even hopped into vehicles when I've never usually done so before. Of course, engineers, anti-tanks and support classes are always needed as well to keep your guys alive. One of the coolest vehicles is...the semi. Of course, you won't get any kills that way, but they're fun to drive in :D I never found anyone to run over whenever I was in one, though. Nuts.

I'd love to have some AF rounds with the gang here sometime. A good step up from EF. I want more maps on American soil, man, especially in those big cities. Who wouldn't want to take the chance of wrecking havoc on a freeway, ah-roooooo?
