    Most definately! Will be on ever night of the beta!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭TheFairy


    Load of TiG Guys will be playing, though we will be on our own TS server. Add meh "TheHairyFairy" as a friend on Origin Cherry then we can join you on what ever server you guys are frequenting.

    PS I fully expect the beta to be full of bugs, and it'll take a few days for servers and problems to be ironed out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 711 ✭✭✭battser


    good idea. I will add you guys on Origin and get in touch about TS. What are the details of the boards one? I cant find it!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Add me too, origin name is Efioanaes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    We have a mumble server too if needed.

    Added almost everyone from the other thread.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,815 ✭✭✭Burgo

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭TheFairy

    How much is battlefield on steam or is it coming to steam?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators, Help & Feedback Category Moderators Posts: 25,757 CMod ✭✭✭✭Spear


    How much is battlefield on steam or is it coming to steam?

    It will not be on Steam.

    Short form:

    when EA sell a game on Steam, Valve want to force them to sell any DLC also through Steam and bind the customers to them and ensure Valve gets a slice. EA refused.

    Can anyone reccomend a cheap headphone /mic combo , i currently have none have never needed it but would upgrade for this game , i have really great standalone headphones but i doubt you can get a decent seprate mike that would work well in game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭TheFairy


    Looking forward to being able to organised nights after release. We'll have a public server and also a pass worded server avail. If the boards guys want to organise fun scrims etc let me know and you can use the private server.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    We had about 13 of us on a server and TS lastnight ,mostly TiG lads but some boardsies also.
    Even though im boring of metro especially the starting area its always a lot more fun playing with people ya know,some decent teamplay going on which is always a plus.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Feck ya's! I was online last night too. Was completely thrashing everyone. 40-5 for the lulz. Some seriously crappy players on some servers

    used this mic for years without any hassle, great for teamspeak

    I'm one of them, I'm really sh1te at this game for some reason, my k/d in bc2 was something like 2.3/1. Here it's like .85/1. But deck it having a blast and that's the main thing :-)


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Some good games tonight lads. PS I hate gunner and his UMP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,692 ✭✭✭Dublin_Gunner

    On that amazingly crap round I had, I think you were the only player I killed. All of my 3 kills were you :P

    That round couldn't end quick enough lol

    Before that round, I'd had a few decent rounds, and after too. But that one round in particular I couldn't shoot a thing!

    There was one point I think we were in one of the rooms off the rail tracks and you guys kept killing my team (including mojo!) and each time you guys ran in the door I was killing you all, it was hilarious! I was alive inside the door reviving and killing people for about 10 minutes lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 882 ✭✭✭cdb


    That UMP you were using is lethal up close. A seriously unfair advantage I reckon :D

    Really enjoyed the games last night. You're definitely more inclined to support your teammates when you are playing with fellow boardsie's. And you really appreciate the extra revive's and health you get over playing on a general server.

    Yeah its a quality gun when you get to the tunnels. Not great past mid-range distances, but this map really suits it.

    Have tried numerous different scopes with it, but its always back to the good old reflex + laser.

    I can't convince myself to use the laser attachment, is it only useful for dazzling opponents?

    Edit: Also P90 + Magnum for the win!

    I find it great to snipe with, it does some serious damage! Usually use the acog with it, winning combo :pac:

    Its pretty decent for getting on target without using the scope at medium ranges - quick target acquisition.

    I don't like the ACOG with it for some reason. It just seems to bulky for the gun and blocks some of my view when carrying it.

    Don't know why I was watching that borefest in Andorra while I could have been thumbing a lift around the Caspian Border, drop me an invite if anyone's about (Origin ID: MayoForSam).


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Will be on Ts again tonight if anyone's up for some games. How long I'm on entirely depends how pissed off I get with the lag and how drunk I may get.
