Don't know if there's any ex-Desert Combat players lurking in this thread, but our resident clan map-making genius has knocked up an amazing version of Basrah's Edge which you can download from here along with his versions of El Alamein, Gazala and Operation Aberdeen.

 

DC rocked! Basrah's edge a definite favorite. What was the other similar map to it where there was the camel you could ride in a shed?!?

Still sorting out my mic situation with the new set up but have been playing a bit on 50klicks city maps if anyone from scoobynet is on and needs a good squad to join.

 

Ah 50clicks - mostly OCuk'ers on there - some bloody good players.

Reminds me - I need to focus on my squad work again.

 

Yeah.. must be hard to..... WHEN YOU'RE FLYING ALL THE BLOODY TIME!

 

LOL ok point taken!

 

my bf wont work either ..ea patches ..suck big time ..xfire did the download..still no joy now downloading from ea support ..looks like a fresh install AGAIN cheers ea...the company that ***** you over ..big time ..

 

A number of us had problems initially post the patch.

I would suggest you remove the 'cache' directory located somewhere within 'My Documents/Battlefield 2' - then relaunch.

It took me 4 attempts at joining a server before it all worked post applying the full patch.

It also wipes all your GFX settings, so you'll need to configure those again anyhow.

 

wondered why it kept optimizing shaders and i had not changed anything. took a few hit off you the other night, revenge was a seet thing though not often enough.

 

Change of subject - what is the default screen capture key?

There's been a few occasions when a screen capture would've shown a great picture but I missed the opportunity

 

We might be playing BF2 vanilla instead of SF tonight... for a change.

 

Wouldn't you know it... an evening of hell courtsey of work... sorry chaps, been in the office since I bailed out.

 

A bit of light entertaintment for you
It got me laughing

working now cheers

 

Good games last night until Bt dropped my connection again

 

Unfortunately I couldn't get back on after that mass drop not long after we started the game proper...

Ping times on the Server wouldn't drop below 250ms for me, so it was pointless trying.

I got a few other games in, but you know what it's like - no one works together and you can't have a laugh.

Still - that bit when I dropped the car in the pre-game bit

"Look up"
"Wha?"
"OH SH*T!!!!!!"
<clunk>

Absolute class - you couldn't make up something funnier than that ad lib moment

 

Hi,

Just got myself a copy of BF2. I've d/l'd and installed the 1.3 full patch but when i run the game it come's up with a window for the same patch with a link to E.A. Ver. displayed is 1.1.2878-710.0. Is this right? Is there anyway of removeing the msg from E.A?

Cheers.

 

Nope the welcome mesg comes up every time.
As for version - if you can join the SNAFU server, all is well

 

Had a look last night but nobody was on it. Ended up playing on a [UK] server till 0430. Got totally hacked off with the game as just like most fps, everyone does their own thing, which isnt bad normally!. But in BF2, a little bit of co-ord and co-op would go a long way i think. even a sniper should have 1 guy for support/firepower. (sorry, can you tell i'm a squaddie? )

 

if you join the snafu server you will find some teamplay - we will keep an eye out -- whats your gametag

 

Snafu Server is full of team play - get team speak and listen to us all hurling abuse...

Well, okay that's mainly me hurling abuse but the thought is there!

 

Lol. Quite original and kept my scooby nick. Time for a change methinks.

I've got teamspeak2. Do i need to assign a server to it??

 

Sent via pm.... eventually

 

Cheers Kieran. What time do you guys play on the server?

 

We're tonight, probably around 8:30-9pm - although official kick off is 8, very few make it on by then due to other commitments.

BF2 (ordinary, the original, the best... ) tonight

 

Other commitments being Top Gear

 

Bloody connection keeps dropping

 

Nope more work - but I made it!

Fantastic games tonight all


Sammy - there are problems still, I got one CTD tonight.
I've had to clear my cache since the update and Si_copath had to do a manual PB update.

Hope you get it sorted - check your ping too.

 

Good thing Si made - he swung a couple of the games in our favour... pity he started so bad

 

Nah, that was me being swapped side that did that - honest!

 

Must say i enjoyed playing last night. Starting to get into it and getting the hang of it. 2nd night and now a Private 1st class with my combat badge and 2 purple hearts. (Wow i hear you say... ).
