Good to see you on last night MJW, nice commander work.
Took me a while to get into it last night too... still SF tomorrow night, which will be fun

prone-jumping... I occassionally jump, then hit prone, to be able to dive through windows - how can this be a bad thing!?

Commander ?? Not me ! Whoever was commander did a good job though, and I never seemed to run out of C4 !

Yep, I was in my own squad for a bit, I figured the SNAFU squad would be locked, but I joined it later in the game

Don't install it!!
It does a great deal of harm to your BF2 playing time allocation!!
I'm not far off completing it now As with all NFS games the races are getting a bit samey.
The police chases on the other hand!...

Anyhow, back on BF2, looks like vanilla tonight - see you on the Battlefield!

Good games tonight.

Although I think we need to state no artillery on uncapable bases on the splash page or in game...

I'm 44% through downloading an update

I didn't get home from work until 11pm. Have been there since 6 this morning, all was quiet on the western front until it came to a simple server reboot that went **** up.

Two hours of testing, monitoring and solving began at 8pm an hour after my official finish time as i had stayed behind to do the pissing reboot anyway, argghh! Happy Days

Tomorrow night is the next scheduled game night, tends to be Tues/Thurs/Sunday nights - cos the wives complain if we play every night..

So, from 9pm tomorrow night BF2 matches.

Thursday is our BF2 SF night.

Left the patch downloading last night and it had timed out when I checked this morning! grrrrrrr

Not got Special Forces yet, didn't seem worth me getting it when I don't play BF2 as much
So I think the next time I'll be on the server is next Tuesday I guess. I think I'll be busy this Sunday

If you are struggling to download the patch I can burn it and send it on a CD if you want ?

Is there a nack to learning to fly the choppers?

The planes I can cope with, put me in the pilot seat of a chopper and soon after take off the ******* thing banks over on its head lol.

I cant go forwards, but i can manage to get the thing upside down.

I am using a logitech wingman force 3d joystick which isnt helping at all.

I see others in the game swoop in and launch missile after missile at me and i cant even get the sodding thing to move forward lol.

Any thing that can help? :P
