Battlefield 1942....Let's get a game on!

sal_manilla

Our server is ready to rock.IP: <font color="red">nibbler.fastpc.com </font> .....it's the Polycount BF1942 Server. Bring it, beotches! I'll be available any evening after 5 pm EST. Let me know here, ok?

Kevin Johnstone

Its been ages since I played, a year anyway. I'll have to reinstall but i fancy a blast again

MoP

Awesome. I should be available around midnight GMT, tonight. Might be able to get a couple of games in late night during the week, but weekends are my best bet for a good few games.
I haven't played for about half a year, but just reinstalled this weekend... itchy trigger finger

bearkub

lesse....that makes it around 7PM here. Yah, I can be around for that.

no jeeps for MoP. =P

Kevin Johnstone

I won't be able to get on until around 8pm EST btw, thats when Nikitta goes to bed!

You'll still be playing then right?

MoP

Probably

ElysiumGX

Did you fix the problem Sal?

I'll be checking in around 6:30 or 7 EST. I can probably play til about 10:30.

That's 5 people. We Need MORE!!!

MoP

Daz'll come. If he doesn't, I'll have his guts for garters!
The problem is fixed - everyone needs to have the very latest patch (1.61)... the problem was the server wasn't fully updated, that has been sorted out now.

Oh, and if anyone thinks it's a fun idea to get a tank and go park in the enemy's aircraft hangar, they're gonna get kicked
(Has that "annoyance" been rectified with newer patches? last time I played I was on 1.4 or something)

Cubik

I'm in.

AstroZombie

Does the server run vanilla BF1942 or is it running a mod? I usually only get to play games for about an hour in the evening and typically after 8pm PST but I'll check and see if anyone is still playing when I get my "me time" this week.

bearkub

It can run vanilla bf1942, any of the expansion packs or Desert Combat. Right now, it is just running vanilla BF1942.

Daz

I'm all set up and installed at work and at home. GET READY TO EAT MY JEEP!!!

Handle: Fi Dolla

Slayerjerman

I usually play BFV, but I suppose I can jump on and school you all in the art of virtual war. But I dont get on until about 8pm PST.

Mind posting what patch version and expansion we using?

Actually, I think that's 1.62 but they are both up on the official site.

Slayerjerman

Ok then, I might hop on and see if anyone is on.

Do you have a particular server that you usually play BF:V on, Jerry? I played this past weekend for the first time in a very long time.

ElysiumGX

Hmmm, now that I'm patched to 1.61...whenever I press Multiplay > Internet the game freezes and won't let me escape to the desktop. I have to reboot to get out. Dubya Tee Eff?

EDIT: Problem solved. My plans for today:
Finish work > Dinner > Kick all your sorry asses! (especially Sal)

sal_manilla

OK, so it's all our sorry asses vs. grindy. Sounds good to me. Mu ha ha ha Looks like 7:00 EST is a good startin' time. I may be in earlier warmin' up.

Cubik

Anyone going to play in the next three hours? I don't want to do all the math to figure out when anyone can play...

Slayerjerman

Astro, yeah I usually play on either [STZ] or [VZ] servers. Typically just those two. They are smallish 16~20 player servers and the people are very nice. STZ has somewhat strict rules about cursing and camping which are good to filter out the real trouble makers.

My name ingame is always just "JerryP" and I am typically always in the top3, so I stick out like a sore thumb

sal_manilla

Cubik: it's 4:45 right now EST so it's prolly 9:45 at your house, eh? Most'll prolly show up later. Our west coast guys are 3 hours earlier than me. I'll go in just to meet and shoot your butt for a bit though. c ya soon.

Cool, I'll check those out and look for you next time I fire up BF:V. I typically go by "Seoul Man" (yes, I know that Seoul is in Korea and not Vietnam, so what )and I usually am nowhere near the top 3 in the rankings

Slayerjerman

Yeah it'll be 11PM EST by the time I get on, doubt many of you will be on then.

ElysiumGX

everybody in now. at this rate we'll only be playing 2 at a time. damn the planet for being round!!!

Kevin Johnstone

installing and downloading the patches now so i should be in the game in 10mins

ElysiumGX

I'm the only one in now. Sal, where'd ya go?

Daz

Well, jumped in for 10 mins but nobody around. I guess this whole timezone thing makes it a bit tricky. Weekends would work better.

ElysiumGX

cep and i had just left. let's try again this weekend.

Slayerjerman

Yeah its too tricky to get enough people in on the weekday, I just went in and no one was in either.

bah

Kevin Johnstone

aye, it was mostly empty when i was there also, weekends make more sense

sal_manilla

Agreed....those are sizeable differences in time from across the pond then back to the west coast.

Grind: sorry about that I got called away. Maybe the weekend we can get a decent size group to play.

I still prefer Desert Combat Mod. Any of you fellas wanna switch now that we are patched?

ElysiumGX

I tried to get my brother to join, but since we're using the same CD key (me disc 1, him disc 2), it won't let him. It never did that before.

MoP

I'm not a fan of DC... I think this weekend we should just have a classic BF1942 game since more people seem to be down for that, then see what people want next week.

Kevin Johnstone

i'd prefer regular 1942

ndcv

Yay! I haven't played BF in ages... I'll see if I can get some time this weekend to join in. I vote vanilla 1942 as well.

sal_manilla

MMmmmmkay, Classic it is then.

TomDunne

I'm all for this, as long as Sal and I can get on the same team and shoot up Ror's enlightened British literati brigade. Eat hot lead, movie snob!





(I kid! I'm a kidder! )

MoP

Ror, me and Daz on one team, the rest of ya'll can feel British justice!

Cubik

Let's just decided a time. I'm all for going up at 4am to play against you yanks if I'm sure that there will atlest ten or more players on the server...

Kevin Johnstone

I'm all for an attack on the yankee dreamers!!!! RAWR!

It always has to be evenings for me at the weekend as I have a family that comes first, so from 8pm EST I'm free.
I know thats a bit late for the Mopster but he's young and single and at college so wtf!

MoP

1am-2am GMT? I should be able to make that. For the reasons stated above :P

ElysiumGX

I'll be there of course. I call Ror a spy on US soil! Get 'em!

ndcv

So maybe 8pm EST on saturday night? (I guess sunday morning for MoP ) Oh man, I haven't played any BF in a long time... I volunteer to horribly cripple whichever team I'm on

sal_manilla

OK 8 pm EST Saturday it is. I'm in. Let's get some more people and make this a real battle, eh? Ka-POW!

adam

8PM EST, this Saturday? Cool. I'm down. Prepare to be humiliated.

Vanilla BF?

Slayerjerman

Lets see, 8pm EST is 5pm PST...I might make it on around then.

sal_manilla

Yes, Vanilla.....make sure you all have the latest patch eh?

AstroZombie

I will do my best to try to be there.

sal_manilla

I'm going in around 5pm EST in case any o' you Euro-doods wanna get fired up earlier.

sal_manilla

*bimp*

*bimp* #2 LET'S GET READY TO RUM-BLE!!
