There is NO way I could've got anywhere near that on my own, but we just supported each other so well. Great first game that

Might be able to squeeze an hour or 2 in. Just got back with my girlfriend, so depends on whether she would be happy...! She feels it's not time spent with her, so she gets upset. Hopefully we've resolved it, but we'll see this evening!

The idea of why there is a patch is good... the fact the EA downloader seems to b***er peoples install ain't good 
Kieran - can only suggest you install the FULL patch over your current install.

What's the patch change? Will give it a go tonight when get home from work at 530pm-ish and give it a blast tomorrow night as well on the SNAFU server. Had some very good games on Sunday, MIRP was doing very well as commander and we had a good squad which actually communicates, amazing!
And quite how DrEvil managed to drop the arty on me and only me so many times, I'll never know. Was like it was something personal...! And he had it on "homing"...
Didn't get on last night. Had an early night, if you know what I mean
P.S. Anyone noticed that if you're prone on the bridge on Taraba (sp?) you can't crawl from the steps onto the road? Have to stand, move and then go prone again. Sort of ruins the whole "stealth" thing and makes you a bit of a target!

The demo for the 360 is up on Xbox Live. I had a quick game last night and it was good looking fun, if a little hectic. Downside, EA are using their own servers and lobby system... pants. Oh, and after playing the demo three badly composed emails from EA landed in my inbox.

Bloody CTD 3 times in 10 mins last night.
There's NO WAY I'm giving EA anymore of my money till it's more reliable. They can stick 2142 up their corporate behinds

Hmm... this ain't good, so many people seem to suffer this...
I guess this is one thing the 360 version will have over the PC, stability.
One thing to try is make sure you're using 'official' Nvidia/ATi drivers.

Glad the team I was on finally won a round though, was getting late (for me) and couldn't leave without a victory
Got to sort my mic out though so desperately wanted to laugh at Mortum when I kept shooting him with the AT rockets whilst he was on top of the building watching the flag
It was great not to be constantly bombed on, even if we were raped on 3 maps running

Why I get kicked?
Thought bollox to ya and went off to actually shoot someone in CS
Sorry about the mic - wife turned the tv on - must ban her from my study...
Helicopters
Some people don't like nose gunners? Number of times I was running onto the pad and people flew off
Queing? I was waiting patiently a couple of times and let the pilot on and then someone queue-jumped the gunner position
Germans? Two germans who got very upset with me getting into the gun position when I had been waiting ages for the helo to re-appear. Told me to get lost even before the helo appeared, then covered the screen in satchel charges when I jumped in.
I thought there was some etiquette with this game?

lol Puff, I thought you weer having a domestic!
That's why I hate voice activated comms, they pick up everything if it's loud enough. I'm a push to talk man
Not witnessed any queue jumping, although I never bother with aircraft, I can't fly them and I can't use the nose gun to great effect
