Bf2 Day

Armitage · January 08, 2008, 08:03:01 AM

Quote from: Liberator;217951Yup, why did BF2 slow down in our little community.

I'll tell you why... EA was releasing pack, after pack, after pack of additional stuff.

People got p*ssed off with the ever expanding (and costly) BF2 universe, those of us that bought the SF pack regretted it (none so more than myself who produced a fully working SF:AAS code two days after release) because it was too soon to expand an already developing game. Even so, the expansion was a great addition, but too soon. The grapple was an excellent tool to climb all those buildings.

Now that they have left BF2 to settle down and mature properly, its become the game that we always knew it was.

If you can find the "Special Forces" expansion pack for a few quid, then please buy it, the few games we played were excellent, but didn't have enough people to really take off.

Those of you who didn't join us tonight are complete oblongs!

The biggest downside of SF was as I saw it, the fact it was a stand alone game rather than just adding to the oiginal BF2. If it had just added a lot more content to the original game, more peopel would have bought it.

I'll install BF2 when the comp gets back.
Played SF quit a bit but it sometimes got really laggy on some servers.
This should be sorted a bit in a patch from what I've read.
I must say that the choppers in SF were a bit more tricky to fly but being a gunner with a good pilot was just a massacre.

I played for a while but struggled to get into it properly I like to play on heavily populated servers and I missed the commander controls (Pretty pointless being Spec-Ops) without it.

I guess the numbers will grow in time and all will be good. I will be back next Monday so lets keep this thing rolling.

I forgot how hard it is to distingush the uniforms in a fire fight makes it difficult to snipe when your waiting for a name to appear in red or blue LOL

All good fun though

I think nobody went commander because it was the first night we had played BF2 for ages and we all wanted to show how useless we were (well me anyway).

I quite enjoy being commander but it can be quite draining.

Bah, was well up for it but unfortunately I bought the missus (among other things) a computer game she's been drooling over for ages for Christmas, without thinking to check the back of the box. Turns out it will only run on my machine, not hers :doh: so I periodically have to turn my box over to her so she can play it

. Aah well, hope to see y'all next week.

SF rocks.. the best thing outside of the Hook is the fact that you get two unlocks for every level you go up..

Quote from: Jamoe;217954I spent the best part of 2 hours reinstalling, patching and trying to get the damn thing to work. Gave up to play some CS while the night was young. Ill give it another go before next monday.

OT: Yea, its one DA plays on, he showed me it at the last lan. I tend to lag on most gun game servers but that one is really good. Plus they have all talk on so the banter can be amusing too.

So how many were on last night then(BF2)?

Gone_Away · January 08, 2008, 01:04:21 PM

When I was on there were about 16 peeps..

Doorman ran off soon after I joined but he usually does that

Penfold · January 08, 2008, 01:09:34 PM

I wonder why no pubbies turned up?

No-one went commander because we disable it in AAS.

Because you are usually only fighting over a couple of the flags, it gets a bit boring with artie raining down on you all the time.

Aye, but the upside is that AAS makes it viable to play such large maps with a far smaller number of players and still have fun, instead of having to chase around following the 'Point X is being taken' markers to find out where everyone is

Fair point but it would be good to have UAV.... can we disable arti?

If it can't be disabled just make it a server rule not to ever use it. It should work when its full of members
