I had my first go as commander yesterday. I quite like it. I played full time on a 64 map (I think) with about 8 a side. Bit boring as limited artil strikes but the points rake up for assists, resupply etc.

Bossing people around is great

It does **** me off though when you get the part time commanders that are just taking the hours as commander to get badges. Any time I did not want to be commander I would have resigned to give someone a go.

Well, I'll be flyin' tonight on the maps with helis - you're welcome to be a gunner

Darlodge - yeah - know what you mean - can be very annoying... "Need supply drop here"... <silence>....

 

Did the new patch put rotors on the tanks then!?!?!

 

LOL

 

gits

 

Nah - it's put treads on the choppers... and a big gun... and renamed them to M1A2

Question about Commanders... when someone asks for supplies - how do you target it on them? When I asked for orders from a commander one time I got a snotty "you have your orders" back! How did he do that?????

 

When I'm MEC I can't understand diddly so if I go off on my own, don't be surprised

 

When in the commander 'map' view, you can select a squad (on the left), then click right mouse button to send a message like 'Move, artillery your area' or 'Your the best squad I've seen' etc...

Puff - BF2 -> options -> audio -> english only voices (click tick box) - voila no more "durka durka durka backa laka laka"

 

Right click, right click... of course! DOH!

Must try out commander soon... <hint>,<hint>

 

Well, there is usually plenty of opportunity to be commander - if no is already, apply when you join into tonight via the Squad screen

 

Just downloading Euro Forces now...

 

... and surprise surprise it doesn't work

 

It did it to me again!

Got the highest score and I only got a silver What does a guy have to do to get a blasted Gold????

 

dunno mate, the first 10 min I was on, I captured 3 bases on my own.. then I got moved to the other team... does that mean I loose any score I had coming ???

good game though and seems a stable server

 

Nah you keep your points

Highest overall score doesn't mean best player Kieran - I still haven't worked out why, but must be down to team work + kills split i reckon..

Good to see you guys on tonight

 

PS. madgrip - you're PM box is full - ooo eeer...

 

gg all

 

All,

This is available for download, some info on our site.

Also, the server is currently running Euro Forces maps only, so people can test their install

Enjoy - btw, lots of tanks

 

made some space now

Phil

 

and

I'm guessing you stayed up to test it out

 

Oh lordy lord... the tanks .. the tanks... soo many tanks...


Operation Smoke Screen looks like a possible favourite
The other two are interesting maps too

A couple of us were messing around on our server until the wee hours, just to get the lay of the land

The new Euro copter is a bit weird... you'll see what I mean once you download it

BTW, you need to use your EA account (if you have one) to login to the website.

When it prompts near the end for GAMESPYID, this is your BF2 nickname (that you login with) EXCLUDING any 'prefix' you have set-up.

I'm quite tired today funnily enough

 

Puff - sorry about the first heli trip last night... shouldnt try to fill my beer mug whilst flying obviously

 

Yeah it was cr@p weren't it

Did you see my attempts at flying? At least you got 200m off the ship

 

LOL - practice makes perfect!

Were you in the chopper when we flew about 3m off the ground / water, to secure the 'Farm' base near the MEC head quarters.. the guys on TS were saying:

"we're really close to the ground ..."
"Alex... WE'RE REALLY CLOSE TO THE GROUND!"
"ALEX!!!..."

And we didnt crash.. they just panic'd ... LOL

 

Teamspeak - I must install teamspeak.

Job for tonight - thanks for reminding me... actually it's a good thing I haven't installed it yet or else you would've banned me after that whole runway / collision thing

 

Does anyone keep finding them self looking at their stats on http://bf2s.com/.

Even though I know my stats are up to date, I keep looking at me and my clan.

Sure do!

Some of our regulars!

 

LOL .. cursing me were you...

BTW, BF2 brings out a problem called gaming torrets(sp!) syndrome

 

Oh Tourettes!!!!

took me ages to work that one out

Yup - there was a definite case of it!

"what the f! What has the f'ing f'er f'ing done THAT for! F me!!!"

Or something like that

 

You should have heard me on Sunday night!.. had to mute my mic!
