Teamwork

ascully

Hello there just puttin an idea out there, myself and some friends have been playin on the tactical gamer servers and weve got to the point that we dont play on public servers any more cause they suck ass, due to the lack of teamwork, stats padders etc etc. We were just tryin to see if anyone here would be intrersted in starting a clan or something even smaller where everyone works togther rather that the "headless chicken thing" of running around without a squad and stuff . I would like to enforce rules of havin to join a squad or b kicked and squad leaders must follow orders or b kicked and good use of voip and teamspeak. If youve never played on the tactical gamer server you should check it out mostly happens after 11 on weekdays. The only problem is lag cause its in the states.

Generally most people who post here ,play on the servers in the stickies above.
http://www.game-monitor.com/GameServer/85.236.101.81:16567/ and here on the BTC server



Usually they are on TS and in IRC pregame to generally play together as a team.

TIG unranked Infantry only server, its like adifferent game

Indeed, the only problem* with the TG servers is that once you get used to playing on them it becomes almost impossible to go back to public servers.

Atlas_IRL

Do you have an ip for the servers... and what names do u play under?

jonski

I have tried this server , even had it marked in my favourites , but with so many servers around these days I can't see the point in trying to play on a server with a ping in the 150 plus range . ( man I can remember getting a stable 180 ping on 56k and thinking I was king of the world )

Asa Kdjac has said above we try to play team orientated games on the BTC server and a few of the lads from here jump on TS aswell so on the good nights the games are great .

TheHairyFairy

Might be an idea to round a few people up on Sunday evening and give our unranked inf only server a game. The speed of the game is very good, and team work is a must.

i pld on that server b4 that and GFF and good

sry for going off topic OP

9 times out of 10 you will find good teamwork on our [G.F.F] server as Atlas says.
We get mostly regulars on who know how to play the game as a team.
IP on webbie main page.

Must admit to good teamwork on the BTC server also.

Blah blah, our server, blah blah. Stats are shat tbh.

lol says he who is CONSTANTLY pimping :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Taxi for this guy please.

Atlas_IRL

at least their is ppl on their servers, it doesnt need to be pimped..

Correctly if im wrong but their is never anyone on the tig servers..

its empty everytime i check

TheHairyFairy

Gah I give up. Look past the servers that give you all your blessed stats and there are far better games to be played.

I personally couldnt give a flying feck if you play on our servers or not. The only thing I am interested in are good games of BF where people play together as a team and not for themselves by chasing x number of knife kills etc.

There will never be a decent bf community in Ireland as people have been caught in the dazzling lights of EA's marketing crap.

kind of a sweeping statement to be made when you're in an irish bf clan yourself, isn't it? does tig not count as a "decent bf community"?

i'd say ireland has a pretty good bf community, given the boards inf league and the general friendliness of people on here and the irish-run servers i've been on (GFF, NRG, GR|M/NOG). also had some great games on said servers, too

SeantheMan

Each to their own

Some love stats, others hate em, other couldnt care less

GFF server is by far the best Irish server out there....but it could do with upgrading to 32 man if ye ask me:p

There is teamwork on there, if your bothered to make a squad, cause its mostly regulars who are happy to work with ye

Admins also pretty quick to get rid of smacktards

Ranks or no ranks, we have a decent BF2 community imo

Dcully

There will never be a decent bf community in Ireland as people have been caught in the dazzling lights of EA's marketing crap.

Our Communityand servers are alive and kicking and lots of our members and server regulars are from Ireland.
Theres more to Irish gaming and indeed BF2 gaming than boards and tig incase you hadnt noticed.
How you generalise the Irish community based on your clan and this board is beyond me :rolleyes:

TheHairyFairy

Sigh, I never mentioned tig!!!!! Look lads forget I mentioned it.

Fairy

ascully

the ip for tg servers is 70.86.19.218 default port
i wont talk bout tig but always found them not that......................good
but sure come and join teamwicklow in the tg serves after 11 or the squad with me on it

No offence to anyone here from TiG, GFF or BTC. I play on those servers pretty often, usually on TS and there's plenty fun to be had.

But in saying that none of these servers can compare to TG or try to compare themselves by saying "We do teamwork too!" There's a difference between a squad working together on a server to a game where every player has VoIP, almost everyone is obeying the squad leaders orders and each SL is listening to the commander who must have a mic in order to be commander.

It is IMHO the ultimate gameplaying experience that doesn't exist anywhere else AFAIK and is worth playing there even with a ping of 150.

Atlas_IRL

just realised i never really played the game properly till today

Was on a server with a very good commander and my squad actually obeyed orders and we all worked as a team together, was class...

well thats what its like every night on the tactical gamer servers, public servers are ****e. The ping thing is not so bad my ping usually averages bout 130 and there is no identifyable lag it doesnt effect my playin at all.

The tactical gamers servers are excellent.

I tend to agree, its how this game was MENT to be played.

Obviously!

Ponster

Wow...I was expecting a flaming


Now I'm sure it's 99% impossible but what would the chances of 5 players joining me to form a squad and play a few rounds over at TG one of these days?

kirving

I'll join your squad. Im good playing assault, I like sniper too. I also have a mic.

Atlas_IRL

ill try it out soon, finished the exams on sat

ascully

hi im goin to be on the tactical gamerserver in a few minutes they might be runnin the tactical mod http://www.tacticalgamer.com/battlefield-2-tactical-mod-information-faq/71665-download-installation.html
so come on dont worrt bout the map pack it would take too long to down load and u can get away without having it
sculls

Atlas_IRL

was playing on it last night with ascully, its squadbased all right with default weapons as well

Its a good server, ill be on it again, only thing that i dont like about it is that its a massive server 50/60 players?

I generally only play on 32 servers but i suppose u wont get the squad element fully out of it then...

At one stage i was killed, revived, killed revived for over a minute and i couldnt do anything about it cause there was so many ppl...

Also one thing that is annoying me is that bloody roll ppl do...

They go prone and 'roll' and u CANT kill them!!!

Ponster

Atlas the prone and roll is an animation. You do it too all the time without realising it

Normally at 21:00 GMT they'll be about 30 people playing on the server, mostly Europeans, and fills up to 64 by midnight.

TheHairyFairy

What is so different about this server from others? It must not be ranked either if there are only stock weapons on it.

Fairy

Ponster

Nope it's not ranked. all unranked servers must have stock weapons according to their rules. I know a coupld of admins who figured out how to have all weapons on an unranked server but EA delisted them from the internal browser. I have no idea if it still happens or not though.

Fairy, you know when you're playing with mates, all on TS? Well it's pretty much the same thing but all squads are playing pretty much the same way. As opposed to just the one squad working together (the clan who run the server).

I was on GFF server last week as commander and 5 TiG players were in a squad, moving from flag to flag and I could do nothing to stop them as all of my lpayers were too busy fighting at hotel In TG if a commander asks a squad leader to move to a certain position then the squad moves, knowing that the commander has a better vision of how the battle is going. If you're defending a base and getting pounded you just need to ask the commander for air support and the JET or HELI squad comes to rescue you :-)

Of course some squad leaders are good enough to make their own decisions. the commander is there to make sure that people are defending important flags when he spots enemy forces moving in and telling the squad leaders exactly what he sees on the screen as opposed to spotting enemys non-stop for 20 minutes

I just wish that when I was commander on GFF that night that I could press my 'V' button and know I had 3 squad leaders who were listening and ready to follow what I had to say. Mybe then we would have won

Jackabo

I had some class games on the BTC server lastnight,best games ive had in a long time .for about 7 maps all rounds ended with just about a dozen tickets the differance

Instant Karma

there is a fantactic inf only (unranked) server called DDD infantarie .7 (or similar)

When it gets a crowd and its fairly popular the action gets crazy and you will be up against a lot of high skilled players. The maps have been modded slightly too, similar to what fairy has done with the tig inf server. Anyway its a great server and i recommend it to anyone.

yeah were in the same squad but my battlefield kept actin the maggot and freezin up andf crashin so i gave up but will be back on tonight after 11 or so it was nice to hear a irish accent among all the yanks

Atlas_IRL

i might be on again tonight when GFF dies down then..

Fairy i dunno what makes it different, i suppose they demand it maybe? they generally have an admin in each squad... you can go lone ranger if u want but its not as fun...

I dont see why out of all the irish clans and players that we cant do the same for an irish server...
If someone could do that i'd gladly donate money towards it and im sure others would too...

Is a 32 man server so hard to fill, with members from tig,nrg and boards ppl etc on ppl will join?

because they demand it, it makes all the difference, and if you do join a squad and then bugger off to b a lone wolf you will be kicked from the squad for not helpin and then kicked from the server. So there pretty anal about it which is why its great.

Ponster

Yeah. I think that their rules are too restrictive for some people here.

The elected or appointed in-game CO's (Commander) & SL's (Squad Leader) commands and directions are to be followed at all times;

So if a SL doesn't follow the CO's orders then he can be kicked (though it rarely happens). It may seem severe but doesn't happen when the CO is crap anyhow.

Players are not allowed into the enemy UCB for any reason other than for the sole purpose of destroying the enemy's assets (artillery/uav/radar).

All players are REQUIRED to PARTICIPATE in a SQUAD.

All players are REQUIRED to FOLLOW ORDERS from their squad leader and commander.

Squad Leader switching is forbidden.

very few idiot squad leaders on the server most are tg members and know what there doin. And they usually always do what the co tells them

Archytas

God I love the idea of a proper CO who'll properly run the battle... And more than a little orgasmic at the idea of getting a pilot to actually take part in the battle instead of spawn raping... Air strikes!! legendary...

Listen I can set up a server any way people want. We have a box with everything installed. I run mods on it normally. Problem is that the bf community in ireland isnt big enough to be spread over a couple of servers.

Most people who post here are Stat whores and refuse to play unranked games. But they are learning slowly

True. It'd be popular at first and then people would slowly migrate back to other servers. TG has the same problem but they have a userbase of thousands, so finding 64 players on any one evening is kinda easy for them.

Ah right you are there ted was the BTC server my bad.Good server you got there

On the Teamwork topic,yes you need teamwork to get flags and win the round and all that good stuff.but for me it donst really matter if it happens or not,i only play a game for kicks .
Id rather come out of a round saying to myself "F**k i played like Chuck Norris threre" than saying "Oh good gosh ,ones squad played quite remarkably well if i do say so myself"
Greedy ? Maybe .But thats how i get my kicks and if i didnt get the kicks i wouldnt be playing it

who was it that was complaining about server pimping earlier?

R0ot

TBPFH! The 1st-ib ranked server and the BTC ranked server are by far my favourites, because of a few reasons:

1. Their ts is great craic
2. 99% of the time when people are on the server there is also at least 1 1st-ib or btc member on too.
3. The teamwork on both servers is great, even from the publics and alot of the same publics come back to each server again and again.
4. The admins on both are quick to act against idiots and slagggs! (hehe)
5. Both clans have sound and dead on players, and the players from each are really good.

At NRG we don't have any fee's or anything that we get donations from (i guess we should) so a ranked server isn't an option, but im really glad that we have servers such as BTC's and 1st-ib's to play on. Now in fairness to TiG the server that they allowed for boards.ie was great, a little large but still great. Unfortunately it kinda died due to factors im not really sure of, but thanks for putting in the effort all the same. Just for people that don't know the IP's or are too lazy to check the Servers Sticky in this forum, here you are:

1st-IB BF2 Ranked
217.146.92.74 Port : 16567
1st-IB BF2 SF Ranked
85.133.16.69 Port : 16607
BTC BF2 RANKED Has Euro Forces Maps Running

Is it just me or does using teamspeak not help teamplay? Ok - its better than not communicating - but up to a point. Say you're playing on a 32 man server with everyone on your team trying to communicate. Too much chatter/noise. Example of this was the boards vs btc game. All I could hear on ts was the tig lads talking among themselves. Useful that may be but my squad was at the opposite end of the map.

What's wrong with using the ingame voip? Its localised into squads and if you're playing as a squad(giving support to each other, etc) what more communication do you need?
