I have gone from one of the top the first couple weeks of this game to the bottom of the bunch.Pork and I had a good time last night. I introduced him to the joys of Titan gun shooting, so he likes Titan a bit more. I'm pretty far away from any more badges, so I was just playing for fun. Then Pork and I got up on the Titan and we were alone, we blew up all four consoles and then I got the core for the Gold Titan Destructor badge
Always seems to be the way, badges come to you easier when you just play in the flow. About a thousand away from Brig. General now, but there are no more badges that can come quickly (except for the hated Titan Attack Gold). Still 15 hours away from Gold in both the Engineer and Support kits.How the heck did you get up there so quick? I'm barely pushing 10K! Do you actually check to see what you need to get certain pins before you begin playing? I find myself just logging on and playing rather than check to see what I need (which is what I should be doing).
At least we've got a couple of guys in our clan that are way up there...
Not having high speed internet service for a month knocked me out.

I got my 20,000 and have been having alot of fun playing SF.
My K/D ratio was beyond poor anyway, but I have just been abusing it lately because I have gotten hooked on that auto-shotgun on the Kark maps. I love running into the MEC area and just unloading on then, but of course if you can get 4 kills you are doing good before you need to reload which usually results in a few quick deaths.
I am working on my expert stuff now. Ss I said before, I am never going to get the heli/airplane medals. I have tried getting on mostly empty boards and just attempting to fly with the mouse---yeah right. I need to go buy a joystick.

yeah, alot of EST guys. Ive jumped on at midnight twice this week only to see everyone go off in 5 minutes. So i just go to a conquest map and blow people's heads off as reconman, titan mode really is hell on a ####ty video card. i mean, i got my freaking purple heart because of the lag. i never even got my purple heart on bf2,(my brother picked it up for me) and that was my first shooter game since team fortress.You guys are all EST, huh? I need to get on schedule with sgt.cramer. I always get 1 round in and you bail. Then it is no fun to stick around, so I bail.

Yeah, Titan mode needs a good video card to keep up with it all. Of course, you can get bad lag from a commander moving the Titan while there is combat going on inside, as well.yeah, alot of EST guys.

Hey Gator Shawn - have you overclocked that CPU yet? I am working on my 165 in this gaming rig and have it clocked to 2.8 GHz (from 1.8 GHz stock) and is stable as can be. Temps are OK, and I think I could probably get 2.9 to 3.0 out of this baby. That is the equivalent of between an E6600 and an E6800 Core2Duo, so I am feeling pretty good about this machine. It screams right now.
Have it at 311X9, but want to bump it to 323?9 this weekend, though I might need to upgrade my HSF from the Zalman CNPS7000-Cu that it is.

Here's the unlocks in Northern Strike:
Recon gets a DS-22 Sniper Decoy which provides a false signature to enemy radar. So you can plant it somewhere then setup to snipe people when they go to knife it or attack it.
Assault gets a CMB-M Radar Grenade which is an instant burst of radar when it explodes, it's a lot like the pulse meter of the support kit except it's got a radius where the pulse meter only scans in front of you/
Engineer gets MMB-MK2 Motion Mine Bolt. When deployed it attracts motion mines to it's location and safely detonates them.
Support gets 2 it seems. The IDS-2 which is an Infantry version of the PDS-1 Vehicle Radar. They also get a rocket type attachment for the Shotgun which launches a timed projectile which sticks to whatever it hits.
The personal unlocks seem to be extra rounds of Shotgun or Rocket (not sure whether it gives you 4 rounds per load or just an extra load.) Also seems they have one that reduces fall damage and another stamina regen rate boost.
The squad leader unlock is unclear. Looks round like a spawn beacon. Might be the mechanism for the horizontal podding feature that's going in.

I stripped my CPU and CPU fan out of my machine today and cleaned them up and reapplied the goo to it (Artic Silver 3). Dropped the CPU temps 6-7 degrees at no load (37C down to 30C). The old goo was kinda hardened - maybe I had put too much on? But it wasn't providing a good thermal conductor, regardless.
Under Prime95 stress test, the temps are in the high 40s to low 50s C on the CPU.
I'll be loading into BF2142 to test in that shortly, I was getting temps in the mid to high 50s lately, which is why my computer would start beeping to warn of overheating.
I should say also, that my chip is OCed to 2200 (from 2000), and I've seen reports of my exact chip going upwards of 2800 if I want to really push it. I have been reluctant to push it when I was having heat issues, but if redoing the CPU fan connection does the trick, I'll push it up a little higher and see if it'll stay stable.

Here is the 1.2 Beta Update changelist, some pretty big stuff in bold:
*Added correct flag for Czech Republic.
*Fixed PDS-1 sonar system interference with UAV. Soldiers are now shown correctly on UAV when PDS-1 is activated.
*Heal and repair points awarded after a 50% heal / repair instead of 100% heal / repair.
*Fixed tracking of hours with the medic hub in BFHQ. They should now be shown correctly.
*Fixed Squad leader drone exploit. Removed the possibility to use drones as a stairway to heaven.
*Fixed Rorsch crosshair misalignment. The crosshair should now be correct while unzoomed.
*Out of bounds now immediately kills after 15 seconds instead of doing gradual damage over 15 seconds. This prevents exploits using the out of bounds area
*APM:s always set to “Friendly fire off” on ranked servers. Increases consistency and prevents misunderstanding.
*Fixed an exploit using the reactor core door. I think this is how they would immediately blow up our titan.
*The correct message is now shown when trying to join a full server.
* Fixed crash when placing Squad Leader Spawn Beacon
*Added server side option to prevent Titan Movement
*Added optimization to Titan mode to reduce lag
Looks like they spent some time on this one, hopefully it works out okay. I really wish they'd make the silo numbers stand out more in Titan mode.

If you want a properly seated HSF on the CPU, add just a very small amount of AS5 (the size of a BB or grain of rice) to the center of the CPU, then press down with the HSF and twist it slightly to get the thermal to spread. It does not need to be over the whole CPU - just the middle 1/3 or so.
And yes, it will dry. It does better as it cures, in fact.

Yep, that's what I did basically. I may have put it on a little too thick last time, or just didn't get it seated properly. Either way, it's working good now.

Anyone check out Frontlines: Fuel of War?
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/frontlin...fwar/index.html
Made by the group that made DesertCombat - uses an upgraded Unreal 3 engine and customizability and perpetual characters should make this one very good. Will compete with ET:Quake Wars for the MP FPS this year.

Looks like it, but is the same magazine at heart. Changed the name due to the push by Microsoft to standardize PC gaming, which IMO is not a bad thing. Games will be certified Games for Windows, meaning they conform to certain standards of resolution and such. Really a pretty good idea to revitalize PC gaming as a whole.

Also the reason that the missiles seem to fly wild and out of the way of the enemy transports or guinships is that they are heat seeking.
So they pass the enemy aircraft then go "holy ####, heat! and start to try to turn back towards the heat source which is usually 180 degrees behind them and long gone.
This also happens when you descend on an enemy gunship and don't have dead on shots. Their engines pouring out exhaust actually confuse the missiles.
The best shot locations are from slightly below the enemy at any bearing or head on direct hits. If you are above the enemy you run the risk of the missiles being confused.

I may have just had the coolest BF2142 Experience to date today. Tried to play gunner tonight but the pilot wasn't cooperating. We ended up with a Doragon on our 6. Pilot tried weakly to evade and we were at 12 health. He bailed out, but I stayed and took over. Managed to do a circumference turn (mouse one way, movement keys the other) and get a few rockets off before he launched another salvo. I bailed before his rockets hit, spun in the air and fired a pilum at him before my feet hit the ground. BOOM! I parachuted down to safety while he went down in a crumpled heap of blood and guts.
I've never had the tables turned on me like that and don't think I turned them on anyone else that badly.
I turned the game off and walked away.
I only wish I had fraps turned on.

FYI - About Titan Gun repairs
You get 2 pts (1 tw, 1 repair) for each Titan gun you bring from destroyed back to functioning (not fully repaired, but functioning) regardless of whether anyone is using it. You max out at 16 points from this method.
You get 1 repair point for each occupied Titan gun you full repair (or some combination on multiple guns). There is no limit to these points.
