[PC] Battlefield 2

Hey, no biggie. I know several other people here are getting AF, but at a later date as well. While I like Great Wall and Operation Smokescreen from EF, the AF maps are more fun, in my opinion. I'll just cruise on my own for the time being and spend more time with the vehicles until more people get the pack.

P.S. I destroyed a chopper while in a tank. Is that normal, ah-rooooo?

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

Yeah, that's what I figured. I didn't think it'd be possible to get a chopper in a tank due to the reasons you gave, so I was shocked when I actually got one. I'm sure he must have seen me, as he was directly in front of me, so I guess I got him 'cause he's a lousy pilot :D Not sure if it was one of the new choppers though.

Unfortunately, I'm done playing BF2 for today, since I've already spent time playing AF. Sorry, ah-roooooo :(

How ya doing, buddy?

That depends. SF gives you 2 unlocks for each rank you reach, so that's good. It's got some cool maps (Warlord, Iron Gator), but the night maps, while a neat idea, fails in execution. The night goggles gives the area a highly polarized look. They're supposed to let you see better, but it truth it does a pretty poor job of it. If you don't wear the goggles, then everything's pitch black...

You get jet skis, pick up trucks, tear gas, zip lines and grappling hooks :D

The maps are more infantry based, so you like that sort of stuff, then the expansion is for you, ah-roooooo.

The British voices are crap, but funny. They say stuff like "Starlight!" and "Foxhounds to this location!" I very much doubt the British refer to medics as 'starlight.'

You can't choose what weapons to use. They're only available to certain sides, which can be a downer for some.

I was speaking idiomatically.

No, you don't need to have SF to get EF or AF. I've never actually used zip lines before, only grappling hooks. The hooks are quite fun, though, enabling you to reach places you normally wouldn't, which makes it awesome for snipers.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's what we'drecommend anyway, because of the extra unlocks each rank, ah-roooooo. Enjoy the game when you get it, and have fun with the jet skis! :D

FELIPE NO

Wish there weren't 3 night maps, though. As mentioned previously, Warlord and Iron Gator are my faves. I used to ace with the F2K, but since the 1.22 patch, I've been doing utterly horrible with them. So much for the awesome F2K :(

Is anyone else thinking of getting AF? It's a lot better than Euroforce. Taco can vouch for me on that :) They'd be awesome to play in our Friday sessions, but yes, we will still play normal maps if you don't have it. We're not about to alienate you from our sessions if you're thinking along those lines.

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

Erm, we've already stopped playing a few minutes before you came on. Sorry :(

Erm, but have fun playing with Taco!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Someone oughta make a map shaped like a ferret.

Can't believe someone actually had Operation Clean Sweep in their rotation. I've only played that map like, once or twice. We had fun saying random (but funny) crap during the match. We should definitely do that more often (and by that, I mean saying random stuff during the match). The entire squad got wiped out on the overpass once in Road Rage. Lots of people would think that sucks, that I always see it as funny :D

Unfortunately, we didn't play too long, unlike our past sessions.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Taco dropped the idea due to lack of interest from the group, except for me. If you're changing your mind, then let us know and maybe Taco can start one up again.

How ya doing, buddy?

We play Eastern time evenings. We never have an exact time as it largely depends on who is available at that time and whether or not they can play.

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

Can't play tonight. Sorry, but maybe other people will oblige you.

Anyway, we had lots of fun last night. I had a good outing at Operation Clean Sweep in particular, where I owned the enemy in the chopper as gunner. Destroying a chopper dead on with TV guided missiles and killing two people in it was the highlight of the evening. Of course, I also had moments where I was blown sky high, haha.

Glad you're having fun with SF, The B0mb.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Unless only one person shows up for our sessions, we always play. If you don't have AF or any other 'add-ons,' state so when we start getting ready to play, so we know which servers to hop into.

See you all tonight.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Are you by chance using the 1.13 patch? There is a crash problem with that one, as I never many crashes before I installed that. The beta 1.14 patch is supposedly more stable, as far as I've heard, so you might want to wait for that.

FELIPE NO

Well, you could play with 1.12, but then, there won't be many servers running that version, so crash or not, you're pretty much stuck with 1.13 until 1.14 comes out.

By the way, I'm really enjoying the new map that comes with 1.14 :3

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

I dunno. I see lots of servers that don't allow people to attack uncappables except for spec ops. It's really annoying when planes repeatedly bomb uncappable bases, preventing us from advancing if that's the only spawn point we have left, but I rarely see that happen in the full game, only the demo.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Heyo, fellow members. We didn't have a session this week, making it the first time we haven't had a session. It was because of 1) lack of people, and 2) the fact I was a little busy in the evening and couldn't spare the time.

An impromtpu make-up session was to be held on Saturday afternoon, but I had to go somewhere at the last minute, which held me up for the greater part of the afternoon, so that session never came to be either.

Ah, oh well. There's always next time!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

1.42? Is that the beta patch? Well, it's no wonder there's no servers. Now you have to basically reinstall the entire game w/patches to get it back to it's pre-beta state. Ouch.

Well, now you know, eh?

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

Practice makes perfect, dontcha know. BF2 is way more fun than CSS though. Just stick at it and you'll have fun (eventually), and maybe you can join some of our sessions sometime :)

Unfortunately, since you installed the beta patch, the number of servers will be quite low. I'd recommend you switching back to the last patch, although that will require a big reinstall.

Most amazing jew boots

Reading about your HDD problem makes me realize I still need to back up more stuff to DVD in case it happens to me. I've burned lots of my videos just a few days ago, but I still have a lot of stuff left that I hafta preserve. Sucks if you lost anything.

As for the BF2 chat, as much as I'm honoured you'd like me to be ops, is there enough people around to warrant making a chatroom? We only have a few regulars :D Well, we'll see how it goes, hee hee. I haven't been to IRC in a while.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ah, too busy last night to go to IRC.

I think X-Fire is better off in the long run though. The good thing about it is that we can chat with each other during the game. Can't really do that in IRC.

All the same, I'll stick around IRC if we get people in there. Haven't been there since Urban Dead sorta blew up :(

Most amazing jew boots

Ugh, I'd hate to double-post, but uh, it doesn't look like I have much of a choice here.

For those of you who don't know yet, the team hasn't had any sessions for the last two (or was it three?) weeks. Now, don't get me wrong. It's not because we're breaking up and don't care for the game anymore. It was due to reasons out of our control. Hey, it happens to anyone.

Taco's new PC is currently BORKED (that's what he said), so until his PC is not BORKED, the sessions will be postponed. Things should pick up once Kamui comes back from his vacation, and when Taco's PC is no longer BORKED. Hey, I like that word...

This is just an update to let you other people know what's going on.

Oh, and once I figure it out, I want to update the BF2 information in GFFWiki.

Most amazing jew boots

There's a special forces update? I haven't been keeping up with BF2 news lately. I don't mind vehicles, as I on occasion use them myself, but I do prefer infantry.

Well hopefully we will begin resuming our weekly sessions as early as...this week. At least, that's what Taco says.

I realize we never once played Special Forces together, ever. We (ie, the people who have it) should get together someday for some Warlord lovin'.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh yes, that makes sense then. Yup, I have Special Forces, and so does a few other members here. We never play it in our weekly sessions though. We usually get someone playing who doesn't have it.

Special Forces is fun. There are some maps that I liked, and they were centered on infantry too, which is good. Have you tried the Amoured Fury booster pack? It's got great maps, but it is armour heavy though, which will probably not interest you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wanna get together this Friday? Try to meet up on X-Fire then. Tata!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah okay, see what you force me to do 'cause you guys don't post?

There will be a session tonight at 10 EST. Yes, so if you wanna join, go to X-Fire close to that time.

See you there...or not!

Update! Okay, so there were a total of three of us who came last night, and even with few people, we still had lots of fun. Unfortunately, my attempts to blow up things with the TOW have proved to be in vain. Nuts. Oh well, better luck next time. I need 559 points left to rise up to the status of Gunnery Sergeant.

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