Tonights games

[Ranger]

...Bit of a false start tonight eh? What was going on?



Anyway - we the games finally started they were worth waiting for as they were good 'uns.

Pleanty of people (including myself) took the hint and swapped sides at the end of matches so it was a good mix throughout the night.

Dalian Plant was enjoyable ~ we eventually got the USMC off the land and held them off at the North Harbour. Good tactic getting on teh roof of the hanger though - that gave us a few tense moments.

Daqing Oilfileds was OK too, plenty of action at the West Oil Field and the Power Station ~ I kept trying to sneak round teh back or HALO onto teh Power Station roof, but Dewey kept catching me!

BUT...

The best game was Dragon Valley! What a topper!

I was having a crap game at first (spawn, die - spawn, die, etc) but then my squad capped the Market place with a great SAS infiltration...From then on in we rolled and rolled the flags ending up at the Power Plant!

Dewey was on a roll - ended up with a huge score on all the flags we took! I think we took 4 flags totally uncontested one after another!

...We had a dirty big convoy on the go at one point! LMAO

Best firefight was with Del on the Powerplant roof! He had a cracking spot just at teh top of teh ladder - but which hid him from being sniped from the nearby hill!

Major bullet magnat for me tonight was poor Paddy! Who I seemed to frag at every possible opportunity! Oooops!  :whistle:

As I said ~ pity about the false start - but it was definately worth the wait!

Yeah Dragon Valley was quite good! Vista Point was the best fight, and also the Power Station. After that we lost grip and we lost the game.

Before I closed BF2 I managed to get 246 servers in the in-game browser. Anyone know what is wrong?

That was the other freaky thing tonight.

My server browser showed NO servers at all ~ I only got into dMw because I typed in the IP.

(I also had a few showing that were in my favourites.)

All a bit bizzarre.

...I missed the whole Vista firefight as I kept getting killed before I got there! However, in the end, Dewey and I made a break for the next flg JUST as our guys took the Vista!

Timed beautifully!

Is Monday night definitely BF2 night for you guys then (*laments not seeing this 12 hours ago*)?

If you'd like I can see if I can whip up a bit of interest from the TG area of things - I know I'm very interested in getting back into games with you guys.

Sundays and Mondays *seem* to be the most supported 'BF2 nights' here at dMw Wulfyn...

Though, ironically, what with last night's server problems you nearly had the whole dMw BF2 gang over on TG!

We were JUST about to come over when our Admin sorted our server and we were able to get into our games here.

Always nice to see the TG guys about ~ and likewise we like to pop over to TG server #1.

yup, had a great time - wasnt in much - had to fend off moaning to go on and watch some wife beating/murder/drama pish with the new Doctor Who in!!!!!!

kept getting pillaged at Dalian plant, parachuted right onto Dewey i think, almost took to the sniper rifle so i could remain at the back - but thought id help the squad and get killed up at the front. I remember a planned 'convoy' to the north, 2 tanks and a bus all waiting at the back of a warehouse, and i set off too early i think and drove straight into two rockets  :huh:

all in all - had a great time!!!!

any tuesday action???

I'll probably be on for a bit (mostly be doing Call of Duty 2 tonight!)...

But once in I usually always stay longer than I intended!



So see you there.

Yeah I was standing at the Vista Point trying to cap it, overlooking your convoy as it capped the Village, whilst others were heading for the Temple. We filled up the buggies and speeded after you guys, but way too late. Being an AAS player you always keep an eye out for people trying to do such runs, but not this time. You must have sneaked your way to village in that chopper... I am sure  <_< Brilliant play

I did that as well. I parachuted straight into his arms. Nice welcome, he shot me right in the face!  :roflmfo:

HINT:

What I do in order to decide which map to head to:-

I look at the minimap to see just how many of our guys there are round the map we are just fighting for. If I notice a good heavy group of our guys on the enemy flag (intimating we *may* get a take over) I make my way to the next flag - inform my SL that I am there and ask how they are doing.

Half the time the SL will say 'flags going down here, stay where you are!' and that way we nab a quick take over of the next flag.

If things are going badly I head back to my SL, but now have teh advantage that:

a] I am heading from a direction the enemy don't expect, and...
b] I usually have pinched something useful like a APC or tank or something from the enemies next flag!

This is more or less how we did last night - we picked up useful hardware as we went along (we started in a buggie, but by the end had an APC or tank each!!!).

I do the exact same thing Ranger. It is a good thing to do.

From a more humorous perspective - it just never really works Flag looks good, I move out, and just as I get in the flag zone, our own flag goes neutral  <_<

In that game we did that as well, but that chopper surprised us.

I can imagine him firing that DAO-12 up close. It still gives me the creeps  :ph34r:

Yeah - with small numbers it's always a gamble - great if it pays off, a complete bummer if it doesn't (you have to then rush back to the last flag!)...

However, we are starting to get more people on dMw these days, so last night Dewey, Cadaver and I made up a second squad.

We had a complete squad of 6 on the Vista when Dewey and I flew over in a Blackhawk so we took a reasonable guess that the Vista would be taken - and moved on to the next flag which we HALOed into.

Sure enough the Vista was taken just when we were on the next flag!

From then on we ('Dewey's Marauders') leap-frogged from one flag to the other, the big squad taking on the big fights and our small squad driving ahead to infiltrate/harrasse the next base (which also slowed down your reinforcements to the flag our big squad was at!).

[delanvital]

From temple and onwards we lost flags, but only slowly. It was a fight, not a rush, and the flags switched to neutral in both places a few times. We were also 6 vs. 8 at that point but no one was interesting in swapping over.

Power Station was really a blast. First your side took the roof, then we did, and then yours again

Then we got an additional player (one joined the game) and one of yours logged off. But still you had a good rush with loads of vehicles on the last flag, and crushed us. Still a slow crush. When you neutralized our flag we had 4 or 5 players alive and moving in on you. Good game
