What is the problem with this patch? I can't even get the game to load now so I'm going to uninstall it and play without it. EA remind me of Novalogic when it comes to releasing crap all the time - why can't they test these things before releasing them?

 

Well, got BF2-SF installed and patched - tested SF on the SNAFU server tonight.
Looks like we'll be playing:

Tues - BF2
Thurs - BF2 SF
Sun - BF2

TBC

 

Hey dude, been offline a bit recently but now I'm back and will be BF2ing it up ASAP

 

You better be slacker!!

 

Does anybody wanna try sf tonight ?

 

Gonna go out and buy it this afternoon. Although no guarantees that it'll work, if the new patch is anything to go by. Just been rebooted whilst playing BF2 - like the days of Win95 and the BSOD...

 

Chaps, the server is running SF today (will be switched to BF2 vanilla tomorrow morning) if you want to run around a bit.

 

I've read lots of reports concerning SF saying it's very buggy etc? True or not?

 

Too earlier to tell, we've not played it in anger really.
A few of us will be practicing SF on the SNAFU server tonight - will be great if we get a game going and can test this expansion in anger.

 

Ill pop in for a bit if ok, Is the server going to have the patch installed?
If so Ill install SF and then the patch so it matches.

 

Bladdy Play still havent delivered SF here, hopefully tommorow

 

Haven't got mine yet either

 

"Update server" and "refresh" button STILL dont work

 

I will be on around 9:30 ish tonight

 

LEUVEN - hope you got it sorted, we ended up playing on another server, if you ever need to track any of us down use: http://www.game-monitor.com/ and search for "SNAFU"

 

BTW Spec Forces is mental

 

Get to work on time this morning?

Spent yesterday afternoon trawling round Game, HMV and Virgin and all the little computer shops. Every single copy of SF sold!

Apparently people were coming in buying 4 or 5 copies of it! WTF? So get home and buy it off EA cos can't wait. Oh joy, a FIVE HOUR download, Jesus!

Come home from work this morning to install for a quick blast and... EA website is down so it won't install.

Is this game cursed? What's going on?

Other than, what's it like?!

 

Play about with the filters, that should help. The filter browser is garbage, just untick/tick a few and then refresh/update.

 

Mine turned up this morning!

 

you're not having much luck - can you get EA to refund and order from play.com or similar?

The new maps, imo, are great fun, quite different to the existing ones - although dislike the one where you defend an aircraft carrier (loads of internal rooms). The new weapons make it interesting, new pros n cons.. flash bangs annoy the hell out me (when used against me ). The grappling hook and zip line are fantastic fun and the maps have been designed to force you to use them in places depending on your tactics - also one level you parachut in on spawn (as long as you hit 9 - otherwise, SPLAT!) SAS style!

Basically lovin' it - but general hooked on BF2

 

Seems like it's working now and new memory arrived from Crucial this am. 2GB Ballistix here we come...

Looking forward to getting it up and running...

And know what you mean by "hooked" - girlfriend keeps having tantrums cos I "disappear" for hours on the computer and don't show her enough affection. I just don't want her spoiling it and getting used to affection, cos as soon as we're married that'll HAVE to change!

 

Got SF from work, not in today so will have it tomorrow though and will be able to give it a bash. Done nothing apart from BF2 all weekend and am getting much better (lol, now that I've found out how to use the unlocked weapons anyway!!) so you better watch yourselves

 

Update, server modes on given nights:

Tuesday - BF2
Thursday - BF2 Special Forces
Sunday - BF2

See you on the Battlefield

 

I seen the server but it was empty, the online server list buttons are still a joke

BF2 is still p[55]ing me off tho'

I fired a game up with SF and patch installed,
I was nearing a small hill when an enemy apeared only 5 or 6 metres away.
I dropped to the deck, opened fire (at least 9 bullets)
enemy fired back AFTER I should have killed him 6 times or something
So I fired another load of bullets (pellets ) and he eventually died.

Are the bullets based on real ones or are they plastic "safety" bullets?
as it just seems unbeleivably inaccurate that it should be like this.

Or am I a total n00b

 

lol Leuven m8, welcome to the BF

Seriously, if you're more than 20 mtrs away, make sure you are in single shot mode, and aim for the head. Only use burst for v close combat

Or be like DrEvil, and head for the armour

 

There is a rumour that he has been seen running around without a tank

good games tonight - are we SF on thursday ?

Dave,

 

Is it just me or is it harder than BF2? Or am I jsut crap?!

really struggled with the initial night vision games and the carrier, people popping up everywhere, got massacred!

Interestingly after patch 1.12, game was very laggy, almost to the point of being unplayable until I put in another gig of RAM. Now it absolutely flies and am back to being the first person to spawn. Didn't believe that the RAM would make that much difference! Let's see if I can bu**er it up with upping the video and sound settings!

Very useful for getting to that armour first...

Will see you all Sunday as working Thursday night from 8

 

Dave - yup SF on Thursday (all updated on the webpage n stuff)

drjsd - SF is harder than BF2, the tactics are slightly different and the night levels are mad - I actually bump'd into the enemy several times (50/50 who got shot)

Good games tonight - thanks to all those that joined in

 

Leuven - we tend to play Tuesday , Thursday and Sundays, 9pm ish onwards...

 

Very good games last night and a bit busier which was great. Had a quick play at SF and it does seem more difficult (more buttons to learn/config), but I'd say once you find out how the game flows and where to go etc that it should become easier. Lag is definately an issue for me (with 'only' 1gig) and three or four times the screen just froze for a couple of seconds. I also had two crash to desktop moments which I never had with vanilla BF.
