Nightly Boards.ie Bf2 Games

    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?

    Great idea. But I don't test well. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭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 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude

    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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,433 ✭✭✭jonski


    I could provide a spare TS server , if needed .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,161 ✭✭✭youcancallmeal

    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.:(

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭Irishpimpdude


    Is this going to happen tonight???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,374 ✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,285 ✭✭✭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.

    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?
