So is this going to be the game that gets me back???

[RRRoamer]

As many of my friends (may) know, I have sort of drifted away over the last four months or so. Between all the crashes caused by the V1.25 patch of BF2142 and Cain taking the (painful!) decision to drop the Conquest server, the joy of playing BF just dried up for me and I found myself playing less and less until I just didn't play at all anymore.

But now there is new hype on the horizon!!! I'll download the demo tonight and try to get online to see what's up. I never got that involved in UT2k4, but I am DEFINITELY willing to give UT3 a try.

Here's to seeing my old friends on the NEW battlefield!!!

Welcome back Roamer

Good to have you back with us Roamer.

[CarbonFire]

Will be looking for you online....

...and welcome back!

Well, I got it downloaded and installed (DL only took about 16 minutes at 6.1Mb/s). I played one online match on "another" server (sorry, couldn't find Cain's, and yes, I did have "full" checked).

Very interesting. I DO like the sniper rifle. I spend a bit of time doing some anti-sniper work and had a blast. The vehicles are going to take a while for me to get used to. Definitely a lot faster paced than the BF games!

sometimes you have to click refresh to see the server. Also, just to be sure, make sure you have it switched to search for all servers, not just "pure" ones.

Or you can just try to direct connect to the servers:

hit '~' (or whatever your console key is)

Type

open 63.113.60.2:9999

or

open 63.113.60.2:7777

(9999 is the first server I believe, and 7777 is the second one)
Then hit ~ again to close the console.

If your connection is successful, it will look just like you clicked and got connected through the server browser. If its full, it will give you the appropriate message. This trick helps when the server browser fails to report one or both of the CL servers, which seems to happen with disturbing regularity.

well carbon, it is a beat. I'm sure they are actually aware of the problem and are working it out for the final release. This however also means it'll be.....


ANOTHER 2 WEEKS!

GREAT having you back Roamer.
And Everyone else. This is a high energy game.

By the way, Cain is running both servers as VCTF servers.
NOT Deathmatch.

I made the same initial mistake, but found them there on VCTF.

Limey was kicking my rear end yesterday, so I'm BOUND to get better quickly... errr.. or be more cannon fodder..
