Grr...
 
Well I've tried connecting several times tonight and everytime I "loose connection to the server" and get dumped. :ranting2:
 
So am trying a complete reinstall and see if that works - might see you later.......

I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.

Could have been better. I think we've all been a bit spoilt by COD4 as Teamwork on both sides went out of the window. I think next time a standard conquest game might be a better plan as well.

I miss my knifing button... come back COD4! All is forgiven!

I really enjoyed it and, considering we're still finding our feet with this revival, I thought it went quite well.

The limitations imposed on voice comms i.e. only the 6 people in a squad can hear each other is a real PITA. It really does hinder the teamwork aspect.

if commander were enabled but arty wasnt then the commander could speak to all squad leaders


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

Indeed but still not ideal.

Being in a squad of one, when the other has 6 was a bit of a downer traipsing around Karkand.

Shopping was crap too.

Well even after doing a complete reinstall, it appears to be a Punkbuster problem :ranting2:
 
I manage to get on to the server and then get dumped by PB with the error message "PnkBstrB.exe failed to initialise".  I've tried updating PB, but to no effect, I sent EvenChance a Ticket, but anyone else got any ideas?

Target, have you tried this...
 
update to 1.41 then install the tampa map, after this reboot the computer and re-install the 1.41 patch.. then install the tool that duvel has already linked to (wont quote whats been said b4) and update punkbusted reboot and you should be fine...
 
I had to do the above last night which was a pain :crying:
 
as for the game last night, whoever I shot from the refinery to the Power station on the fist map I would like to publicly opologise...
 
I joined I ran 20 metres or so saw someone on the other base dropped to one knee and boom headshot wasnt until i saw it was someone on my team i remembered, although the response was pretty funny went something like "what the f**k was that" :roflmao: joking aside i'm not usually that bad and will give you a free knife kill next time
Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?

Did all that, it didn't work.
 
Have done some further digging and need to check my firewall settings to make sure PnkBstrB.exe is allowed, will find out when I get home if that works

I enjoyed it but then got more frustrated - it seems people on my side didn't seem to understand the concept of AAS and would routinely be seen attacking/defending flags that couldn't be taken :g:

And it seemed for a while, I was the only one trying to capture another flag, ie on Karkand the team just sat on the bridge defending making no effort to capture the next flag (I did capture the flag with a truck for a while but my calls for help fell on deaf ears and we lost in very quickly), so we died to ticket bleed - ah the joys of bf2 - I left in frustration and played civ 4 for some light relief...

I'd forgotten how intense BF2 was lol :D but I'll be back next week.

Just one gripe, can we ensure that the sides have equal numbers on them? Apart from a short spell where the sides where equal, the other side had 1 and 2 extra players for long periods - no biggy unless you only have 8 or less aside :rolleyes:

God I was rusty lol

We'll try and be more aware of that in future. Give out a 'Teams' shout if it's being missed.

Good games. As others have said very rusty. I think I only played infantry only for the last months I played BF2 anyway and then lots of COD4. Yep we forgot teamwork, I had to remember vehicles. After all that I discover that mines, claymores and vehicles kill friends. I appreciate the comedy value of this, but I do hate the settings and I dont think I had many friends left in the end :(
 
Best bit: great to be playing with dMw again
Worst bit: Sulky has forgotten how to fly a chopper
Revenge bit: Frenzy knifed me and that will not do, you are warned!
Top banter: [everyone] why did you just kill me?
