Blinkin' 'ell - is this a revolt against order of maps.

Could one of the clan with access to the SNAFU site start a vote for AF/EF tonight, so we can at least make sure the others want to play it tonight.

I'll poll the guys at work (we don't have access).

I'll start the poll when I get home - I'd do it from here, but alas, SNAFU is now a "security threat" at my pace of work, hence it being banned...

I'm sure the masses would like AF as well - they appeared to be the most popular maps last night

Its whether the majority of the clan want to play it too though... we don't want to alienate anyone. Only had one no so far out of 4 here.

I was only kidding mate personally I'd prefer to play AF, not just for the novelty factor but I think the maps are generally better... but as I say - the comments above are firmly tongue in cheek

Job done - on nights so can join until have to leave for work about 2145. Will play whatever. Not that I'm addicted. At all. Sweating. Heart racing...

First page of the thread has all the details. I occasionally use something like game-monitor.com to find the SNAFU user tags and join in a game there, otherwise just take my chances with the "quality" of ome of the public servers.

It can be very variable. Try 50klicks.com if there are no SNAFU members/games on, they're usually well populated and enforce decent rules with good admins. Obviously not as good as the SNAFU server, but sometimes you have to compromise yourself...

I am very new to this. I am already patched to v1.3 but have no add on packs. Do I need them and are they worth while getting?

Thanks

Paul - this won't be the normal, we are currently reviewing which map rotations / add-ons packs we play on a given night.

Based on current 'clan' votes on our site, looks like from next week:

Tuesday - BF2
Thursday - BF2 Special Forces
Sunday - BF2 Armored Fury, Euro Forces and maybe a couple of BF2 original maps.

However, as quite a few seem keen to try out the new maps, as a one off we may well be playing the AF / EF xpaks tonight. They're 5.99 each, so cost you the equiv of four pints or 2 packets of cigs

If you do buy them from EA downloader, use the (BT)Click & Buy payment method AFTER you have selected 'UK' region (top right on the www page).

Any questions about ea downloader - let us know here

Thanks, I'll wait until next Tuesday and see if I can join in and see what it's like, I'm not very good yet though I'll go on there tonight and look at the packs and try and improve my play.

I've just registered on the SNAFU website (username is darlodge to make it easy). However my BF2 name is [FEAB]Klodge. Do I need to do anything else?

I'd welcome you chaps on the SNAFU forum, but alas, it's now banned from my work.

Anyhow, it's the thought that counts, right?

I'm really suprised that it's not banned by my work because most things gaming wise are. It's only a matter of time I reckon

I'll check the SNAFU site tonight - we're recruiting btw chaps but you need to voice interest on our site.

Anyhowz - Paul, to be honest doesn't matter if you are good or not, AF/EF would be a good buy - they're smaller maps and you'll find it more involved while you're learning the ropes... go on..... you know you want to!

Hopefully Blunderbus will be about so's I can keep his topgun @rse on the ground.. in rubble..

Again, provided no support calls to interrupt the game.
