Nightly Boards.ie Bf2 Games

][cEMAN**

I don't know exactly how many people here play BF2 - I didn't get around to counting, but if there's enough and they were up for it, would we be able to get a BF2 gather going on sometime?

If someone has a lockable server that is - doesn't have to be ranked, preferably unranked so we can lock it.

8 a side (or more if we have them) where we basically go into IRC or something, randomly pick 2 commanders, and have them pick their own team 1 at a time.

Could do it once a week or something. Would let us see what the people are like on here, and would garauntee a good game for all

What do you think? Could the mods put up a sticky if they think it's a good idea?

Keyzer

Great idea....

Silverfish

Great idea. But I don't test well.

Irishpimpdude

Yeah but i would like ranked cause im new hehe and need to get my rank up...

Winters

Irishpimpdude, you cannot lock ranked servers. Its a policy EA have inplace to stop people from statpadding etc.

Should have no problem locking one of the tig servers or just getting a game going on one of the ranked ones. Sure, they are there for ya to all uee them

Irishpimpdude

Ok well ill still play hehe but hmm what exactly is statpaddling?

Player1 team A kills Player1 team B
Player2 team B heals Player1 team B
Player1 team A kills Player1 team B
Player2 team B heals Player1 team B
Player1 team A kills Player1 team B
Player2 team B heals Player1 team B
Player1 team A kills Player1 team B
Player2 team B heals Player1 team B

Etc, etc. If your seen doing this, you'll hopefully get GUID perm-banned.

Count me in.

For the gather, not the statwhoring...

Berns

Could maybe meet up in #battlefield.ie on quakenet (same server as #boards.ie & #tig.ie) :-)

Berns

This sounds like a great idea iceman

Shiny

Very good idea but dont agree about the TIG server.
(Unless they raise the minimum ping kick).

jonski

I could provide a spare TS server , if needed .

I can do this very easily if its actually required. Atm its around the 200 or 250 mark so I dont see why anyone would have problems with that... unless your *trying* to play on 56k or something silly like that.

Well it wouldn't affect me only that I have about 6 computers connected
to my net connection and often there would be 3 or 4 of us playing BF2
at the one time.

All of our pings usually average about 50 but sometimes they might spike
for a couple of seconds. Then that happens a few times in a round, then
after 3 times, its a kick.

We used to play TIG the whole time until that limit was imposed.:(

ascully

great idea id love to that it would be great fun:D

Irishpimpdude

Is this going to happen tonight???

Gone West

sure, why not.
Hop onto #battlefield.ie over on quakenet any time and ask if theres a game going on.
Might juwst be a few of us squadding up on the pub servers, or it could be private.
Doesnt matter. Anything is better than random pub fraggage.

TheHairyFairy

Yeah I'm sure we are willing to help out with this. Someone agree a time etc and we will happily supply a locked server.

For some fun we could mix teams and then play TiG vs Rest, Inf only etc.

I havn't got IRC set up, nor have I gone near IRC is years. I don't even remember how. Apparently mIRC requires money now... Whats the world coming to.

d22ontour

No it doesn't require money,you probably heard of someone buying it when they didn't need to.

I'd also be up for this, if we just picked a server and kinda nicknamed it the boards server and agreed to play on that. Some one make a decision so and pick server and day

Zillah

Ok I got IRC rolling. And they do want money, its only a 30 day trial. Wtf? Perhaps Trillian is the way to go. So, I don't feel like waiting a week before we get this rolling, who feels like arranging a game on boards irc tonight?

TheHairyFairy

After 30 days you still dont have to register and it still works fine.

Vegeta

Cos I'm thick what's IRC

jonski

Internet Relay Chat , MIRC being a program that allows you to access this .

Basically it's chat rooms , the program allows you to enter a chat room where all the people in there can see what you type to them or you can open a seperate page to talk to someone privately .

Got ya, ok lets get this organised, there is no point in this bein a sticky if we don't committ to something. I will be available to play from 9 til late tonight anyway so I'd be up for it tonight

KELTICKNIGHTT

:eek: does it make any difference what type & version of irc you use

Zillah

Oh dear, a complete noob.

Go to "system" and then "IRC", theres some links in there. Its doesn't matter a flying flip what you use as long as you get onto #boards.ie.

I can also play from nine onwards tonight. I'll be on IRC then and before.

(I didn't want to upset the poor guy so I chose a random player to call a noob. The guy with 57k and top of the board seemed like a nicely ironic choice.)

Got wireless headphones yesterday. They should be chargered by 9 and BF2 is a good place to test 'em out.

I don't wanna play too much before the new patch comes out.
