Is there any plans on getting a HL2.net BF2 server going? I'd really like to have a server I can hop on whenever I want to play with HL2.Netters.

I'd think that having both a public and a privat that goes online during games would be cool. Maybe give server access to Zerimski and the likes so whenever we get a game together, one of the people with access just has to be in on it and they'll start up the client.

So is it going to happen?
 
if it was unranked, i'd assume so \=

But ranked servers are expesive as HELL!

I'd love for there to be an HL2.net BF2 server but I really doubt that's going to happen.

Hell...for right now I'd settle for my gfx card to arrive so I can actually use my computer :(

Well yeah. I'm just speaking of somewhere we could all play anytime.

And Amish, I thought your card came in last tuesday?

Bastards sent me the Leadtek Geforce 6800....NON-GT.

I'm still waiting for them to reply about sending me another one and a fedex label so I can ship it back.

I was thinking about just opening it and using it until I have to send it back :P They probably wouldn't like that.

Lol.

Warned you about that.

And no, don't open it. They probably wouldn't be happy :P

Well I had to get it from some website since newegg doesn't have the pci-e version for some reason....

Scratch that...newegg carries them again. It's nice that they could take down the product just long enough for me to buy it from somewhere else and have troubles....wheee. To avoid all this trouble...I think I'm just gonna return this card and ask for a refund and get it from Newegg.
 
Hah, by the time you get your refund, newegg will be out of stock. I have foreseen this...

Isn't this site funded by Valve? Munro could lie to them for a BF2 server....

Or he could get a CS:S server, password the game, not give anybody the password so nobody plays it, and then run a BF2 server at the same time.
 
Or Munro could buy a god damn Bf2 server with all those butt loads of cash he is getting with those text ads.

Indeed.

And they're realling starting to get on my nerve.

Oh well, best of the community I suppose.

:eek: treason!

*runs in circles screaming*
 
You know, the text ads are said to have been here for a while now, but I have never seen one.

You probably have some weird program or browser issue...
 
I say we all pitch in and get a 16 playa ranked serv.

I'd jump into that, but I've got absolutly no money.

I'd say a 32 player unranked server would be better. Ranked would be nice but it'd be wayyyyy more expensive.

Just checking out your guys' stats...wow, a couple of you guys have played more than me now :( It's been too long since I've played ;(
 
I'd rather we get a 64 player unranked public server, and then as I said, give priveledges to Zerimski and such.

Then whenever we want to have a private game, HL2.netters vs HL2.netters, we just ask Zerim (or whomever has server access) and he'll change it to whatever map size we want to play on, and then lock it.

Or if we want a HL2.netters vs The World game, we just jump into our 64 man server and form up squads. Then we wouldn't have any issues with being moved teams and stuff (if it happenes, Zerim could just move us back :upstare: ) and the server would hopefully be as well moderated as the z2 clan server (god I gotta say, the admins on those do an awesome job. Some of my favorite servers).

And to me, being able to play with you guys is much more important than my stats. I mean, sure, it'd be cool discussing like "Oh, remember when Sinkoman got that purple heart that one time!" but I think that the fun is more important that the stats.

Oh and on the text ads, you don't really see them in short posts. Only in the long(ish) ones, where there's more chance of the guy typing stuff like Amd, Western Digital, and Counter Strike.

*checks to see if the words are green*

AHA! We got one!

EDIT: Hmm, now it's gone.

EDIT EDIT: Now it's back. I think it knows when i've spotted it.

We'd need more people than Zerimski to moderate and administrate the server. Also, the 64-player server would have insane lag and too many people to moderate. Stick with a 32-player until public demand explodes.

It would be fun to play with you guys, especially against the world.

Well, as I said, it wouldn't just be Zerimski, it's just I think he's the one Mod that plays BF2 the most, but i'm just making assumptions based off what i've seen.

And sixty fours are only laggy if you have a not as good pc (lol) or if they're jamm packed and everybodies in the same chockpoint. If we don't get demand, then the servers will stay half full, and the games won't get laggy.

IMHO 64 man servers are the most versatile. You can play with 8, 16, 32, or 64 and the gameplay experience will be awesome. Not to mention a 32 would fill up to fast, and we'd have to kick innocent public players to make room for hl2.netters.

My video card is crap...it only plays because it has 128mb of memory and it's in the FX line...

Just take a good look around in a lot of forums and many of those people aren't *innocent* :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
Hey Garfield_, please kill you and your non-girlfriend having self.

wtf pesmerga? What's your deal lately?
That time of the month... D: Run in terror...

We could all kind of make a certain server our new "favorite" server and just pile in there when we play :P
 
Well i have 100mbit internet and might get a hold of a decent server soon. I would be willing to host one for you guys but i dont think it will work very good with the ping since im in Sweden and the rest of you is all over the world :S
