Alright - point taken, soon ok.

 

Snafu site is down today. Hope its not related to the idiot who was kicked last night.

 

Really must learn to read all the script that comes up on the left

Who? What? Que?

 

we had a muppet kicking up a stink last night - he was voting to kick si as commander and then started banging on about helicopter 'noobs' and got abusive when he was told to shut up and play

No really biggie - you get idiots everywhere

Anyway - enough of that... I was very pleased with myself last night getting you with a one shot kill from half way across the map! Sniper duel or what?

Me getting you with the knife kill was lucky - you need to remember to lay claymores down - I got a few people last night with strategically placed ones near flags

Oh, and apologies to all.. I was in a foul mood for most of last night. Work was a complete pain yesterday which did not leave me in the best of humours. Still I did get to save the day in Wake Island... last man standing and I managed to capture a flag Pity we lost the airfield - I was having a WHALE of a time in the air!

 

anyone on later tonight?

 

cheers the full patch worked with out a glitch

 

badcompany - excellent, very pleased you didn't have any grief this time matey

 

Does seem remarkably stable compared to previous releases. Wonder where the catch is...?

 

Well... I have seen two server crashes so far...

 

Knew there had to be something wrong with it!

 

it didn't occur to me until I read this thread that they were post 1.4 crashes - ho hum... at least we got a new map hey?

 

played Road to Jalalabad ..last night ...good map ..robbed 4 hours of my life..
