That map's pretty lopsided. Always ends up with a bunch of US guys running into the airport and killing everyone. Playing medic was kind of nice but then had to end up going AT due to idiocy.

Also had a Blackhawk pilot load up the chopper then go land at the airport so he could take a Mig oOo: Ended up with myself and another guy being left to be slaughtered by spawns after we killed a bunch.

I'll be on in a couple hours.

Fucking thing is sitting on creating account.

dr nein · 06-10-2005, 08:31 PM

Heh, it's starting to remind me of steam for HL2. Net down and want to play SP? Too bad. Want to just hop in a game and start playing? No, can't do that either, the login server is lagged!

mr.miyagi · 06-10-2005, 08:33 PM

spike i had bother with that but i got it working, i disabled my firewall and made sure the email stuff was unused elsewhere. The background image should pause after you press Create.

I been playing this for like 2-3 hours now and I F**KIN LOVE IT!!!!!!

The graphics engine is stunning, can't wait to try other maps out, everything just looks sweet as hell.
I found myself staring at everything, lol, especially the aircraft carrier cool:
Did some screenies but I don't know where they're saved to....checked the folders out

mr.miyagi · 06-10-2005, 08:43 PM

You really have to see things in action as screenies don't capture the action but i love lookin at this gun when its in action, chain-gun and heat-seekers

I'm jus on medium details

Stammer · 06-10-2005, 08:51 PM

Ok I got it to work...but your not telling me my name in-game now is MattRG1989? Can I change it to $p!k3?

Miscguy · 06-10-2005, 09:07 PM

Thats medium... wtf, mine doesnt look that good going with some highs... guess i'll have to look at my settings. What resolution are you running? vid card, the ussual.

Overall its a damn nice game. I dont like the 12 minute thing but its just a demo setting. Commander mode was ok, but theres isnt much to do besides drop arty, uav's, and supplies. Then wait for them to "reload" to do it again. Nice, but not really my cup o tea.

I find myself unable to bind my keys the way i had them in BF42 meaning i cant fly. Everytime i try to configure them it tells me theres a conflict with that key/mouse axis in another section. Go to that section, and find no such conflict. Hopefully not a problem in the full since my setup is really ideal. I have however been a gunner, and did a slight bit of shitty piloting. It was very nice indeed. With all the heat seeking AA around you would think flying would be pointless. With flares and other distractions however, if you hit and run you tend to not be fired at that much. The AA is also very well done, typically 2 shots to anything airborn and its over.

Unable to fly ive spent a good portioin of the last 4-5 hours ground pounding. Im not much of a tanker but did enjoy romping around in those and they do seem to have a battle winning capability, unlike DC where you'll run into 358308 rpg's. LAVs can also turn the tide in the battle for a waypoint, but the buggies are pretty useless exept to get from A to B. Infantry weapons are nice, though accuracy and power seem to come and go at random. Sometimes you'll raid a a point hitting everyone and hitting them hard. Others you'll go in and fire a 30 rounder "into" a guy only to have him turn and shoot you. Sniper rifles may have some balistics drop or something as i found myself needing to aim slighly high. Iron sights are nice, but dont seem to increase accuracy all that much. The SAW was pretty useless even while prone.

Overall, the game is stunning, and feels nothing like DC or BF42. Which makes it a nice change of pace for those DC players. Definatly worth the download, and the cash in a few weeks.

im half way through my torrent. can you play SP right away? or do you have to create an account for that?

dr nein · 06-10-2005, 09:17 PM

Gunning from the blackhawk is pretty fun if you have a decent pilot

tank guns seem pretty weak vs other tanks. Seems about on-par with DC taking 5 or so shots to the turret to take one out.

The MGs seem especially weak. I was camping a spawn point with the RPK earlier and it was taking me over 5 hits to down each target.

Merlin: You can't play SP without logging into EA's auth server. Pretty stupid but otherwise pirates would be able to enjoy the vast complexity of BF sp oOo:

Faaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuqqqqqqqe....!!

System requirements are too high. I cant play it!!

By the way, if anyone's interested, today I went to the doctor, gave a urinal sample, got blood drawn, and X-rayed. And Im still crapping every twenty minutes. And they hurt like crazy, too.

Stammer · 06-10-2005, 09:22 PM

So...am I able to change my game handle to $p!k3 instead of it being my account name?
