I should be on just after 9pm :D

Puff The Magic Wagon! 21 March 2006 09:13 AM

Tonight is "normal" night? Or are we going Euro?

I've only d/loaded SF which I have yet to install and play!

Neanderthal 21 March 2006 09:49 AM

Well I was on there for 20mins last night, no one turned up! pfffft ;)
Puff, tonight is 'normal' BF2 (although I believe the Euro maps are in the rotation?). SF is Thursdays only at the mo.

If you haven't installed it, be aware you'll have to reapply the latest patch again after you've put SF on there.

Has anyone got the BF2 box handy?

A mate at work needs to know the graphics card requirements. He is buying a new machine and needs the right card.

I have to say, up until a couple of months ago I was happily playing it with a 9800 pro as well.

Now have a X850XT and running at 1280x1024 :D

Kieran_Burns 21 March 2006 11:25 AM

Hmmmm.... so my 7800GT sat on a Athlon 64 x2 4600 (2Gb RAM) would run at what?

Neanderthal 21 March 2006 11:42 AM

Try it and see :)
you may find that 1280x1024 works ok on yours. The FPS does take a hit but I'm happy with the trade off for the quality of the image.

Sorry m8, had unexpected visitors last night. I wouldnt have been on the SAFU server anyway as it's never populated unless it's a clan night. I thought we could have had a bit of practice through using the SNAFU TS but on another public server but the inlaws turning up put paid to that :(

DrEvil 21 March 2006 12:40 PM

BF2 tonight, not including Euro Forces maps or Special Forces expansion.

Puff The Magic Wagon! 21 March 2006 02:29 PM

Go Go Go

You should easily be able to run 1280x1024 / HIGH / 2x AA.

Kieran_Burns 21 March 2006 03:28 PM

Really? Hmmm....gonna change the settings tonight then and see how it looks. thanks for that!

Kieran_Burns 22 March 2006 12:10 PM

The graphics were WAY better thanks folks.

Pity my playing wasn't at first - I died 7 times before I managed to start doling it out...

Of course, if certain other SNAFU members hadn't have been so trigger happy with the bombing runs... ;) (I was 1 kill off getting a 10 kill streak and he bloody bombed me :( )

DemonDave 22 March 2006 12:16 PM

Hey I was happy last night _ I managed to get blunderbus in a couple of dogfights and one ramming :)

Neanderthal 22 March 2006 12:42 PM

I was getting bored of being bombed last night ;) :(

Still if people get kicks out of doing the same thing over and over and over and over for the entire duration of the map that's up to them :)

Kieran_Burns 22 March 2006 12:53 PM

I need to get my basic knife, pistol and sniper badges sorted pretty soon - and tips on how the heck you rack up enough kills????

You were hiding in a building and I was gatling for an Apache - saw you go in and I just shot the cr@p out of the building as we changed the flag & I killed you.

Now I can do that all map :D

DrEvil 22 March 2006 01:22 PM

Puff - so are you enjoying BF2 then? :)

Must admit I got fed up with Blunderbus last night too... still just means we need to be better with AA!

darlodge 22 March 2006 01:27 PM

Kieran, basic pistol and basic knife are not easy, I’ve yet to get my basic knife as it will ruin my kill to death ratio as I run around like a headless chicken looking round corners waiting for someone to pass. Use a light weight kit, sniper or medic so you can chase after people, medic also helps to heal your self after you get a few rounds in your at close range. :D

Wake is a good map as a sniper. Or on a roof on a map like Karkland, just remember to lay your claymores at the top of the ladder to cover you, watch out for commander artillery as well, I love bombing snipers on roof tops :D

I got Special Forces from the lads at work today for my birthday :D That's Euro and SF now. Oh to find the time

Thanks Darren - good information there. I know you're going to be right about the basic knife medal, but then my kill/death ratio is appalling anyway, so what the hey!

LOL I was holed up in that hut for ages! was trying to defend that flag single handedly at the time ;)
Thought I'd survived till that last round of blasting, funnilly enough I'm sure the rockets weren't getting me, but the gattling gun was doing me harm through the walls?
Still, it was nice to see you on there mate :D

Unfortunately BB killed me more times when I was on HIS team than when I opposed him ;)

He racked up an impressive score in the end - but did you see his team score?? Last I noticed it was at -25! :cuckoo: :Suspiciou

Neanderthal 22 March 2006 02:20 PM

It was -28 I believe ;)
Still, just like snipers, you don't go into planes to get mega team scores. Good on him though, the only time I've got over a 100 is when I got a 2x bonus for being the winning commander.
I'm all for people sticking to what they enjoy but BF2 would be pretty boring for me if I only enjoyed one aspect of it.
It's got to the point where I cringe when I see it's a map with planes. Heli's I don't really have a problem with as they move slow enough that you actually get a chance to use AA against them. Likewise with tank bias games, a couple of AT guys working together can take one down pretty easily.

Puff The Magic Wagon! 22 March 2006 02:37 PM

Shot down a plane or 2 me :D

andys 22 March 2006 03:46 PM

And if it wasn't BB bombing me it was that other guy. Seemed I could not go more that 5 mins witout being blown up.

DrEvil 22 March 2006 05:29 PM

Andys - I know what you mean... sooo frustrating!

DrEvil 22 March 2006 05:31 PM

Looks like Mr Manchester is BB's favourite victim thou! :D
