Half Life 2 netters of BF2 days, Lend me your ears!

Man, I forgot what a piece of shit BF2 is.

I often can't connect to games. The server browser is one of the worst I've ever seen. The game hitches randomly. A lot of the balancing is just terrible. And it's downright impossible to map your controls properly. For some reason I can't bind crouch to Shift, because that conflicts with the Helicopter controls (I guess DICE doesn't want me to crouch in the cockpit?). But when I go to unmap Shift in the Helicopter controls... it's not there. Nothing is bound to Shift, but somehow I can't use it.

But on the other hand... it's a ****ing fun game. I missed it.

Yeah, the game is one of the worst made games I've seen, and it's a piece of crap. But damn if it doesn't make some epic battles with your friends.
 
I had a hell of a fun time covering you guys as you approached the center point on Zatar. I was a sniper in the rocks, picking off baddies as they popped up. You guys still died, anyway, though.

WORST COVER EVER.

Still <3 ya. :E

Was stupid that we were stuck in Central Island, because everybody was trying to whore the heli. When we were on the opposite team, Nanopico and I kept trying to go around back and cap a rear flag. We'd get it, die, they would take it back. NO support from anybody else. I guess every other flag was Anthrax :(
 
I had a lot of fun being a transport chopper driver. Picking up people from the carrier, dropping them off for reinforcements, and circle-strafing enemies while my passengers chaingun them to death.

Of course I got shot down every few minutes, but whatever.

Yeah, I hate hitting people with the minigun on the BH, but nothing would happen. They REALLY nerfed that thing too much. But I guess it's as effective as the Mickey Mouse Nosed Tub..

This weekend though, everybody is going to need to get on. We may just charge into an empty server. This should be fun.

And I love my squad name. It's not as epic as "DUDE" but, TEAMWORK will have to do :p
 
I had fun getting blown up by artillery and jets every time i spawned.

It was pretty sweet when we were attacking the center point though. I was all like "clear!..... clear!.....clear!......clear!" but then i died.

Also why is it that it always takes like 3 tries for me to actually revive someone? I could be laying prone, inside your body and hit it, but it will still miss.

I don't prone on them, because I get glitched like that, too. I crouch, stand on their head, aim at their torso, and that gets em most times. And don't do it fast by running by them, because most cases it won't work. It's just BF2 being buggy, nothing new :p

When is this gonna happen? I heard this weekend.

I'd vote today. Everybody should just get on together and go for it. Start joining the hl2.net chat, and get together. We can migrate to teh bf2 chat when we get enough.
 
Hopped in a jet, then attacked the nubs waiting for the jet in the other base. Got banned from the server because I was teamkilling or something, idk. :frown:
 
Played a game tonight with Shaker, Raz, Pitz, Digi, hool and Pesh. Great fun, although the servers occasionally caused problems. I miss this game...

Like banning you guys for going into the cap? :p
 
It's so hard to get into a server and have everyone on the same side. :(
 
Just played a couple of rounds with some of you, for some reason Voip was't enabled ingame for me and I couldn't change it during a game so I couldn't hear anyone. It also reminded me of how largely unplayable the game is due to performance/stutter etc. I'm gona just drop all my settings to medium from now.

Plays great for me. I have 2 or 4x antialiasing enabled too, I can't remember which.

Radeon x1950 512mb

and 3 gigs of ram.

My problem is that I have sound set to like 30% game sound and 10% voice over sound, yet I can't hear people on VOIP over the in game voiceovers. It's frustrating!

I JUST finished installing everything and everybody stopped playing :(

Don't worry. I had so much fun I plan on playing more. We just need to do it more often probably.

I'll be willing to play some more even right now, it's just that I was hoping to get in a game of Sins of a Solar empire with somebody, but all these douche bags(yeah you guys) say they want to play but never end up playing.
 
Wtf raz, why didn't you tell me everyone was playing.
 
You guys played on Sunday? Awww nobody told me :(
 
CyberPitz said:
I didn't play Sunday, that I know of. Then again, I was drunk 99% of that day, so I could have just forgotten easily.

Yeah... you bastard. :angry:


I'm kidding, I'm not that upset about it. It screws you over more than it does me.

Pits screws me more than I screw him :(

It's something I've come to accept.
 
Hey if anyone's playing next week, I just installed a new hard drive and my load times are under a minute now.
:)!

So, the game is actually playable now.
I've got Feb. break starting Sat. so if anyone wants to play I'm up for it.
