cheers all for the tips i looked at a few sites on the net and they said the turret was the soft spot

Good game on Tuesday, although seemed to lose quite a few of them...
Had a good squad going only for you all to defect to your own SNAFU2 squad. Was it something I said?!
Unlikely to get on tonight, but will give it a go.

nope - but change your aftershave
my fault for the SNAFU2 squad as the SNAFU squad was full- The idea with the squads is to have more squads rather than just one, so 2 or 3 people can spawn ona squad leader. But if the squad was working nobody should of dropped out.
See you tonight

We try and split squads into 3-4 players when the server isnt full, so I formed another squad - didn't realise so many defected as a result!
One tip for you James, use 'T' to request orders from the commander or issue more attack/defend orders on nearby bases where possible.
BTW replied to your message on our site.

And I appreciate the splitting up of the squads - if I was paranoid I would have thought you didn't like me
Will have to wait until I get home to look at the SNAFU site as the firewall at work gets upset. Bizarrely, I can look at the multiplay.co.uk site no problem though

Dave.
It's been dropped to be last because of this reason.
Assuming it kicks off at 9pm tonight, it won't be played until 00:30 anyhow!

[QUOTE=DrEvil]Ah.. that explains it, wasnt' having a go chap.QUOTE]
I know you weren't and I didn't intend you to think I thought that!
Hopefully will get on tonight for half an hour or so, will have to see how the evening pans out.
Certainly Tuesday was a good turnout and not too many people doing daft things like bunny-hopping. That's the problem with public servers, you never quite know what you're going to get. And an impressive turnout always helps.
I assume the rest of the time the server is up and running though? Just thinking about jumping in a helicopter, cos I'm pretty crap at flying them, tend to overcompensate and end up crashing. Gets embarrassing when the choppers full of people!

And have spent a fortune on computer equipment since buying the game. Started off with a 6600GT AGP card and before I know it, end up shelling out on:
New motherboard
New CPU
New graphics card
New sound card
More memory
Faster hard drives.
And now going to buy myself a new case and gaming mouse. Isn't it frightening how it snowballs? My £130 has turned into a bloody fortune. At least I've sold my 6600GT for £80 to a friend
Would probably have been cheaper to have bought a new computer!!!
And that's before I start overclocking them and blow something up...
P.S. But is rather nice now though!

Good games last night, haven't played SF for a bit so it was nice to strap the nightvision on again and throw teargas around ! Though I played medic for most of the game, so if I revived you try not to get shot next time

Can't believe all the problems you've had.
Sunday will be vanilla BF2 if you fancy it

Cool
I must apologise to anyone that may have been on the server at 1pm today - I neglected to check the no. of players before performing a restart to change it to BF2 from SF. Sorry

Didn't manage to get on last night, home late from work and needed to eat. You know, the simple things! Saw briefly that the server was almost full, which is rather reassuring that it seems to be keeping a healthy following.
With a bit of luck will get home tonight and depending on beer committments, will get a couple of hours in. Will have a search round see if I can find anybody else on. Any one use X-fire?
Haven't actually played SF with my "new" PC yet. Looking forward to playing at more than 800x600 resolution, hopefully it shuld be quite impressive.
And with a bit of luck the next EA patch won't kill my resolution like the change from 1.03 to 1.12 did! Can't believe I was the only one to be affected by that.

1.12 included a whole host of dynamic lighting effects, which is what killed performance for most, amongst other bits n pieces...
I can't see 1.2 being as bad, but it might have a some affect, as new features are enabled as part it.
Two new expansions are coming out, the second of which sounds like the most exciting as it includes heavy armour maps with loads of tanks n APCs for battling it out in the desert or similar
We seem to be doing well now on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, hence we are renewing the service in Feb (our first 6 months is up).
