Good effort last night Doug, you should have heard our commander shouting down teamspeak - DOUG BEHIND YOU! lol

I think Kieran has PM'd you the details - make sure you get a headset sorted.


More BF2 tomorrow night on the server

Managed to get my promo from last night - I actually went through the 8000 point barrier as the Commander last night (and yes it WAS me shouting DOUG! BEHIND YOU!!!! )

Got my sniper badge today as well, but my kill/death ratio took a battering..

Now for the pistol and knife (anyone know what the amended requirements are now?)

knife = 7 kills in a round
pistol = 5 kills in a round

Personally I think that this is Rs about face - as knife is far harder.

I used wired solutions, got fed up of wireless crap'in out.

Saitek Gamers Keyboard + Logitech G5 mouse - took me a while to get used to the gamers pad & get the right buttons mapped, but really great k/b.
As for the G5, awesome mouse, will never buy Razor mice again after the diamond back I have (gather dust).

Being a CS person, I was always under the impression that Wireless has the potential for added latency so I always use a wired optical mouse.

Is this right?

Can't see how a wireless mouse could increase latency................

Another G5 here. Didn't opt for the G7 as i couldnt be bothered having to put my mouse on charge every night, or every few hours as my laptop's awake if i'm awake. I also dont find the cable intrusive in any way.

The G5 is probably the best mouse i've had my hand(s) on. Got an Everglide Titan mat for silky smoothness and some Steelpad Grips are on the way to ensure my hand doesn't slip off when fragging away to my hearts content.

As for keyboard, the one supplied with my Rock Xtreme does the job just fine....

The problem I find with the wireless mouse is that you aren't aware of the lowering signal strength until it starts to get jerky. Before then you just find yourself dying more often because you can't target the bad guys as easily and you think it's just you!

Glad the mouse pad got mentioned - any recommendations there as well???

BF2 tonight, although the football is on so the first game might not kick off until later than normal (was close to 10pm last time).

Ha, i didnt start till around 1am having tinkered about with a new hi'fi set-up till around 10. Then thinking it would be a good idea, decided to defrag my HD's. (29%frag). 3 hours later, 2 films with about 10 cups of coffee and 2 packets of biscuits, it was done!

I will aim to be on from around 9pm tonight, hopefully as many as possible will be on from then.

Sunday actually kicked off around 9pm and finished at 1:45am!
Fantastic games, really enjoyed it - and yes, I was a bit tired yesterday too


Thursday last week didn't kick off until around 10pm due to the football, tis what I expect will happen tonight as well.... but those that don't watch it will no doubt be on from 9 hopefully
