cheers mate, look forward to playing

 

Hello all, Puff, Neanderthal, Dr Evil.

Haven't really gotten into this game yet but fancy "having a do at it" online. Tried this Am to get on server and add it as a favourite but it says I must have SF edition too.

Is that only when SF is the gane being played or is it always mandatory coz it's on the server?

Anyways, see you on somewhere.

Toots.

 

TOOT!!!!

Yeah SF is the add-on pack. The server is set to it on Thursdays (prolly not been reverted back to vanilla BF yet). You'll be able to play on the server when it's not running SF.
Played for the first time in ages last night. Really enjoyed SF for a change. Only played 3 maps though.
Within 5 mins of joining I'd already TK'd my squad leader

Install the EA Downloader and buy SF online for I think £10



Had a good round as air defence & at one point was 20-0 & top of the score board on my (losing!) team. Then someone got wise to that

Generally kept to the normal order of things though by staying at the bottom of the pecking order lol

 

Puff - spotted were you was eventually and then just focused on you as we came round the corner each time - that helped my score on that game thnx

Just reset the server to ordinary BF2 - Karkland is the first map.

And yes, SF is downloadable via downloader.ea.com at a cost

 

Pleasure all mine I assure you - 10 helicopters = 20 kills

Line 'em up

 

**** me, what map was this on and where were you hiding?

I'd love to dish out the punishment on those pesky choppers!

The only way I can take down a chopper quickly is to try and fly it!

 

Good oh.

I knew I had to pay for it.

But if the ordinary one sucks, then I have ten pounds for beer.

 

Stop being a tight northern bar steward

Spend the £10 then spend another £10 on beer - worked for me

 

Ahh, back to Blighty and more importantly back to BF2... Don't 'alf get rusty when away for any length of time, as I found out to my cost today!

Will hopefully be able to join up for some vanilla on Tuesday, assuming no problems.

And has taken me an hour to catch up on the posts...! Good to see things going from strength to strength in my absence, 'cos I'm sure I've been missed

Need to get a fast laptop - was streaming Radio 1 and 5 Live wirelessly into my PDA in the hotel, so I'm sure it could have supported BF2. Could have blamed the non-skiing on "those dodgy knees"...

Rock on Tuesday...

 

Ordinary BF2 tonight all.

I hope to be on (honest) but my NTL *cough* upgrade went a little wrong yesterday, at work currently and not had an opportunity to test BF2 out yet.

So hopefully see you online later.

 

Max ADSL is causing me serious grief

 

NTL replaced the set top box yesterday, supposed to go to 2Mb straight away etc... Trouble is the engineer left before the 'card update' had completed - which subsequently failed. I shouldnt have let him leave, but he gave me his mobile number, promised he was in the area for the next 30-60 minutes - so call him if issues - must of switched his mobile off within 30 minutes of leaving - basically ****** off to watch the football.

To have any chance of viewing normal BBC and ITV channels I'm reliant on NTL, as my house aerial doesn't pick a strong enough signal - so end result yesterday was I was left with no TV or Broadband!

I managed to resolve part of the issue myself, and got basic TV/BB working again - but its still a bit flakey. Not happy - and I'm oncall from tomorrow, so need the BB. I pity the NTL employee that answers the phone tomorrow..

Hmm... SKYHD + TalkTalk or similar could be on the cards....

 

Don't say that - I'm just in the middle of the upgrade myself...

BT did say that the connection will be iffy for the first 10 days while the best speed you can get is sorted out... I've been getting anywhere between 2 and 8Mb.... right now it is 6.1Mb

 

MAX ADSL - apart from high ping mine seems to have settled to 5mb - did see 6.5mb but 5mb will do

 

???? try to log on via gamespy but it kept kicking me off? managed to get on once but got kicked after about 2 mins?

 

You are better off logging in via the game itself. Just go to the multiplayer section and let it update the servers.

You may be getting booted because of your ping. A lot of servers have a average ping limit that gets kicked.

 

lol....turns out Virgin were giving my 2meg line all of 398kbps last night......ping was a little high!

 

Stilll a darn site better than mine is currently - and I'm 24x7 call out this week so needed the BB working

Tomorrow is the earliest NTHELL can come out.

Favourite sites of mine at the moment:

www.otelo.org.uk
www.sky.com

And look at various BB suppliers.

 

Whats this doing on page 2

 

BF2 tonight?

 

 

Hmm.. I've yet to test my upgraded link for BF2 - was up all night working.

 

 

Sorry guys - another bad evening on call. Hope to be on Sunday.

 

that was odd...didnt even bother trying to get on until 12 and then discovered my ping was only 20????

 

not trying BF2 at the moment - not until my BB connection calms down - I'm getting anywhere between 4.5 and 8 Mb at the moment and the ping times are all over the shop.

So, I'm just getting on with Oblivion in the meantime....

 

Well I had a great time on SF last night. Didn't stay long, think it was 3 maps.
Was only when I'd come out of the game had I realised I'd not got TS running... no wonder no one was replying to me!

 

Basic knife combat is proving to be a challange
