Hi guys...
Thanks for the games last night - sorry everything seemed to end so abruptly, was there a problem?
All of a sudden the whole MEC team disappeared in one go. :crying:
--- Hope everything is OK guys.

You probably shot them "BiG"-time which they decided to leave at once. :flirty:
I looked at 9.30pm and it was empty

Yeah - it all happened about 9.20pm (I think) - just all of a sudden the whole MEC side left/disappeared!
So the rest of us on the US side sorta waited a bit - no one came back in, so we went off to play some CoD4.
:(
Yeah, we'd been pushed back to the lookout and were fighting our way back and suddenly they all buggered off!
It was a poor turnout in total too. Where was everyone? I lugged a 3l botle of Cider all the way upstairs and was ready for a fine nights gaming. :boxing:

[BIG] 'Dolphin diving'? (I presume u meant 'diving')?
...Not us mate...Unless Dolphins carry shotguns or fly helicopters! LOL
You must have us mixed up with some other seagoing mammals! :g:
--- SNOOKS - absolutely agree - :) - I had bought a crate of Grolsh at the weekend, and was looking forward to trying my best to empty it...
In all seriousness, dMw chappies - let us know if you don't like what we are doing or aren't happy with our team balancing or summit.
I know Armatage mentioned something about the team balance in the last game - but when I looked it looked like 7 v 6. Unless some of those players weren't live...
None of the [BIG] guys mind at all shifting teams - in fact we enjoy bumping off other [BIG] guys! LOL
(I actually played o the other side from Paddy and Magnus in the first game....And took great pleasure in taking their chopper out at every opportunity! LOL)
:withstupid:
I'm watching Ross Kemp in Afghanistant from 9 till 10 every monday. Will try and get on before hand then in future...
It wasn't that busy last night, not that many dMw'ers and the numbers just dropped in the last game. We dropped down to 2/3 guys with no sign of making head way, so seemed a good time to call it. not sure if other people had connection errors!

sorry to be picky but that's jumping not diving :devil:
No issues Ranger. I left because I was knackered. I'd forgotten how intense BF2 can be and I aint getting any younger so decided to call it a day after the map ended
- and I guess a few others had the same idea.
- I hate the way you don't get to say 'bye' properly with BF2 when a map ends. Still there has to be time to check the silly stats thingy :whistle:

Well get your hands off the steringwheel and check the silly stats thingy...:devil:

Thats why we keep saying use ventrilo.
Doesn't Ventrilo still only five us 6 slots per side?
If so, how is it better than the ingame comms?
PEN
We can get, what, 15+ on the racing Ventrilo?
The Big Server is only 12 slot.
We do have a TS server running. Maybe we should try that for next week.

Huh? :eyebrow:

BIG server is
currently 12 slot - can easily be 24 if that helps. Just give me one day notice.
Teamspeak sucks, that's why its free.
If you make it 24 slot and don't mind it being invaded on a monday night. It would be great.:yahoo:
It's not that simple on a public server. Assume we all decide to use Ventrilo. Depending on which side you're on will determine which channel to use. We all pile into the correct channel and poor old guest player on our squad wonders why no one is talking. So you configure a button for Ventrilo talk and one for squad talk - and remember to press the right one. Then someone says to even the teams ... :doh:
I was thinking we would put the vent server info on the start up screen and also spam the info with BF2CC, or you're right, Joe public would think we were very antisocial
Well depends on how you want to play. I quite like being in the same channel with small numbers. it allows one to extract the necessary p*** er pride after a kniving etc.
The other problem I see with ingame comms is communication between squads. Even on the same side if more than six people join some lose out.
If however you feel that you need separate team channels in vent then ok.
Using ingame and ventrilo comms is not a problem as OB says its just two keys. Ingame gives 'secret' channel. I dont have a problem with public access, but I experience shows that they wont use it anyway. Ingame for visitors, vent for the gang.
What you should know is the BIG guys always have a vent channel running even at the LAN. Even on opposite sides, one needs to brag somewhere! We dont tell on our sides anything, but it is great to congratulate, I think that is the word, a colleague on killing you.
I would suggest just try it. BIG have had a lot of experience of using vent and ingame and we like it. it may not be for you, or it may. Until you give it a go i would reserve judgement.
Should just make it clear I am in no way connected with the company :)

But wouldn't that require me 'multitasking'? Can we blokes do that?
;)
hehe, I can't actually remember the last time we used vent for tactics.
Actually I can't remember the last time we used tactics. :roflmao:
P.S. Sorry for missing the monday game, I had loads of work to do.
On the Ventrillo/comms issue ...
For my part it is just a simple case of me remembering to get my lazy ass to work out which system you are using and remembering which is the right key to press.
When in Rome do as the Romans do - that's what I say.
You could always set the same key for vent as for squad speak.
Sorry I couldn't make it either this monday.

Didn't we try that once and it screwed everything? (Feedback and loads of other problems.)
I've tried that before, it can get a little confusing. If someone isnt in your squad/on vent and you reply to something that has been said then they won't have a clue what you are talking about.
Well despite the *helpful* interventions. I have made the Vent server 24 player. I will set it for a single password on Monday and post push-to-talk instructions and ventrilo servername/password for the night here.
Meanwhile if you dont have ventrilo and want it visit http://www.ventrilo.com
Anyone who wants to join is welcome, anyone who doesnt want to, no problem. Just to confirm this is not an either or choice, ingame comms are there still for squad comms.

So what do people with passwords do? Do we need a new account or just change the password?
You have to guess!
