[PC] Battlefield 2

How about we play in an hour or so.

FELIPE NO

Sure. I need an exact time, though.

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

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, since I can actually play the game now, I might as well start posting here

Wow, I finally managed to get to First Sergeant. I've basically been locked out of my account since February, with 19892 points. Tonight, I got almost 200 points, so I got promoted! Now I just need to figure out what my unlocks should be...I really do like P90s...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dammit, I actually was playing BF2 with my bro and completely forgot to check back here to see when you guys were playing Sorry guys. I need to remember to get Xfire.

get Paid to play is a free stat tracking system that you register for and if you put in 15 hours a month on their servers, you get registered in some pretty good drawings to win prizes. Its comletely free so its not really a big deal.

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

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.

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

Gah, I've been slacking with this thread really bad lately. Sorry guys ;_;. I made a few updates to the first post, but if I missed anything feel free to post in here or pm either me or Freelance Wolf. Now that the summers here I swear I'll be more involved!

I was speaking idiomatically.

how do I add a link to my stats as a signature like some of you guys have? Does it auto update?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

FELIPE NO

Yeah, I wasn't too hyped about euro force, but I kinda like the addition of the scanning choppers in armored fury. It makes me think that this pak will change up the gameplay a bit more.

Still, I feel like I've spent a lot of money on Battlefield already without the consumer support to go along with it. I think CGW was right when they said that the addition of these minipaks will end up dividing the community somewhat, and that's not a good thing for such a teamwork-oriented game.

Anybody else annoyed at the vehicle drops? Seems like the commanders use them as weapons more often than not, which is basically just a pile of suck. I mean, dropping a car on your enemy's chopper? It's just bad form.

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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?

First, inside the BF2 game, click on "BFHQ" and check to see if The EA servers gave you the award. If it's there, just go to BF2S and then re-visit in about 10 minutes. 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.

Well, that's exactly the problem: it IS splitting up the community that way. Normally everyone would be playing the same game, the same maps, etc., so all the players are unified. If someone joins a EF-only server, then they aren't parts of the "standard" community that everyone else can join. It would be like BF2 users playing CS:S instead: it takes away people that are playing the main game (even if they're just playing new maps, those maps can't be played by normal BF2 users). So yes, it does somewhat split the player base by spreading them over several different games.

I'm playing tonight. If anyone would like to join me, check me out on Xfire.

I went ahead and made the wiki page. Hopefully someone can clean up the member list more than I was able to so it doesn't all blur together, and members with brackets in their name don't get funked up.

FELIPE NO

Thanks a lot Skexis! What a great idea. I didn't even think of posting our stuff up on the wiki.

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

Well, to be fair, it wasn't my idea, it was Freelance Wolf's, but she was waiting on confirmation from Bigblah, so when I saw he okayed it, I figured I'd get the hard part out of the way.

(Sorry if I stole your thunder, Wolf. >_>)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I didnt even know there was a community of folks on GFF that played BF2. I have a love hate relationship with the game myself. This of course might be because my computer sucks and until i get a good, i have to deal with long ass load times and shitty fps =(

Well, a good graphics card will certainly help with fps issues, but don't get your hopes up too much on loadign times. I recently bought 2 gigs of ram in the hopes it might help my processes run faster. Everything else is speeded up, but loading times for BF2 are about the same.

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

Turning down graphics settings should make load times go faster (especially textures). I know when I play UT2k4 with my roommate even though his processor is a lot faster, since he has all settings at max it takes him considerably longer to load than me with all settings at near-miniumum.

How ya doing, buddy?

I now have around 290 points! Damn this goes slow :\
(got the game today)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Did you happen to read the first post? I urge you to post some other specific's, though it's not required.

Anyways, welcome to this side of the forum's. It is really fun when quite a few of us get together for a game. We always seem to do pretty good in a squad.

Also, check out Xfire if you haven't yet. It's pretty much what us GFFers use to keep in touch in regards to BF2 besides this thread. Also refer to the first post in reference to the Xfire usernames we use. I believe I speak for most of us when I say. feel free to add us at will.

How ya doing, buddy?
