And if you are interested in joining the clan and challenging other clans, and playing regularly - then express interest on the clan site

Thanks Dave. I think I have the fix applied already, but I'll double check...
Tried again last night and didn't have any problems connecting to a game, and again managed a couple of hours of error free gaming.
It was very frustrating though. I kept getting put on teams full of loads of people only interested in flying planes / helicopters and they kept letting all the checkpoints get overrun. Also, the enemy side kept camping at all the spawn points so you never even got a chance to do anything
Is this the norm?

Tips:
primary - capture the bases + support your squad
secondary - kill anyone (on the other team!) that gets in the way
= more points
Squad up and stick with your squad leader (assuming he is giving orders and doing the above)
USE THE MAP top right of the screen - watch out for 'friendly' artillery - remember the commander can see more than you usually, so is probably doing it for a reason!

join a squad and spawn on the squad leader - that way should be able to avoid being shot

>Jack - is it simply not available for MAC yet?
Not as far as I can see online. Something about the engine being different to 1942 and the developer not wanting to do the work. Perhaps the new Intel chips will help things along. Bloody shame as I was looking forward to having a machine capable of joining in.

Don't fancy building a WinXP shuttle system then? Wouldn't take up much room, and if spec'd right, will play BF2

I did fancy one, then Jobs came out with a 20", good looking and speedy Intel Mac for less money. If I follow my usual PC purchace plan I may consider a shuttle next decade.

What a pita. Had to reinstall WinXP numerous times over the weekend, kept getting page faults and the like and couldn't install BF2 when I did get into Windows. Kept getting repeated "MD5Error" messages and EA said it was new to them?
However a search on Google suggests it's not new to the rest of the world, so God knows what EA are on about.
Now have taken out my 2gig Ballistix and replaced it with... 512MB
All now working fine and BF2 installed, will put the Ballistix back in and see what happens...fingers crossed I'll see you tonight

Sorry to hear about this - it likely it is one of two things:
1) duff batch of ballistix
2) memory timings are wrong in the bios

Separate note - good games tonight. I need to slap a couple of clans members for not being proper squad leaders (no one from here)
Anyhow, BF2 SF on Thursday if you can make it.

Very good game tonight I did get disconnected once, but I think that was a blip in the broadband rather than anything wrong with my pc. I applied the registry patch, and set bf2 running on a single core of the processor, and it seemed a lot more stable...
I'll do my best to make it Thursday as well (this could turn out to be a regular thing)

And yeah, some very good games tonight, managed to rack up some good scores. Doesn't half make a difference to your score though when you get some teamwork points. Quite a few games I had (almost
) top kills but suffered because of the teamwork side. A lesson there I think!

Grrr YOU'RE Nordsch1eife !!!
Pain in the backside to me you were! I think every other time I was murdered whilst doing heroic things it was you!
Enjoyed it greatly last night, forgotten what I'd been missing!
Although our side suffered badly early on thru lack of commander issuing orders

One thing I haven't been able to work out is how to issue communications. I can use the j kand k keys to type into the console, but how do you issue the present warnings like "enemy armour spotted" etc. Doesn't seem to mention it in the manual at all...
