Check out BF2 tracker to find me.I'll be in after my Bible Study and our church league BBall championship. Probably around 11 EST.
I will be in later this afternoon, but not in the evening, more than likely. Though, things can change. . .I will be on and off today/tonight if anyone wants to join in. Check BF2 tracker. Or go to fraghaus.com and hop in Teamspeak.
I was afraid to download this for fear punkbuster my pick it up as a hack and get my ID banned. I'll be on later tonight.There is a nice little function that you can download at bf2tracker that launches BF2 to the server you click on. Go to their dl section.
If you have your internet browser open when you start up BF2 you can Alt+Tab between the internet browser and the game to see if anybody is on. I usually go to the BF2 tracker buddies page then start up BF2 and then Alt+Tab back and forth and just go straight to the IP that a buddy is in.At midnight CT, there were 5 of us playing, 3 on one server. SilentOne, Cnutz, and myself were on a 64 player city map monster. The Real Pork Johnson and Sos were on different servers.
I've got to get another headset so I can speak in game. I sent a couple of messages to Cnutz and SilentOne but I don't think they saw them.
MadCow, I downloaded the BF2 tracker file that allows you to jump into the game, but it didn't work for me (only tried once though). It started my game, but did not put me in the server. It did adjust my resolution to 1280x760 though. The game never looked so beautiful, but of course my fps was down, kinda screwed up my playing.
I picked up a headset microphone combo off of ebay not to long ago that works real well for me. I can't remember the model right now but I will check when I get home and post a link.If your voice is not loud enough there is a setting in BF2 to double the mic output. Check to see if that box is checked in the VOIP settings and it may help.Can anyone recommend a good microphone for the game? I have tried 2, but they don't get close enough to the mouth - BF2 seems to have problems with its VOIP functions.
Any solutions?
Are all of you guys gonna get the expansion?
If im playing BF2, im usually in totalfrag TS. The IP is 66.235.184.50:10608. I spend lots of time in there. I cant remember if an SA has to Register you to move about the rooms or not but theres usually and SA there, you just have to whisper to them. I wont be on tonight most likely but tomorrow i should be on a good deal.I have a Altec Lansing AHS30. Had it awhile now. A buddy also has the AHS 202i. He likes it as well. Both were like 25-30 bucks if I recall.
Yeah, BF2 VOIP isnt very good. Teamspeak is much much better IMO.

Madcow, you should put this in your first post of this topic so when a new player comes, they can just make a name and add everyone, then bump it(put a message telling FBGs to bump it with their name)Thats really strange why im not showing up on there. I use BF2S for my stat info...-=|SeF|=-SilentOneGamerboy61

Dang, I am a n00b compared to you guys. However, that does not mean I cannot hold my own.
OneTime does not show up at all, and Davej626 has not told us his name.
However,

At least he is consistent.
I should have internet finally tonight unless something goes wrong again. Then i can get like 4 more upgrades
OK, I figured it out, i just needed to register
-=|SeF|=-SilentOne
Notice my best score in a round. Im VERY proud of that. I havent played an online game in over 2 months though
So would having Teamspeak running concurrent with BF2 cause any lag or problems? My office connection is DSL yes, I have logged more than a few matches here but at home it is very high speed internet. Could you just tell me what I need to do for teamspeak? What to install, etc.I have a Altec Lansing AHS30. Had it awhile now. A buddy also has the AHS 202i. He likes it as well. Both were like 25-30 bucks if I recall.

If you play spec ops, unlock the spec ops gun. The unlocked rifle does not have the red dot aiming, you have iron sites when you aim but it packs a good punch on full auto. You can also change it to fire single shot and do a little sniping. Unless you play a lot of engineer don't bother unlocking the jackhammer. It is similar to the unlock for the anti-tank. I play engineer a fair amount and end up using the pistol for any medium range shots.Can someone recommend the next unlock for me? I have anti-tank (which is only good for urban maps, being a shottie and all) and medic (which roXor - I am out-sniping everyone but snipers with that bad boy).
I play some support, a little assault and more spec ops. The jackhammer seems intriguing, though. The sniper rifle doesn't do it for me, and is not even the best sniper rifle, is my understanding.
I have not noticed any lag running TS with any game. Any time I game I am on the FragHaus TS. Run the install file, ts.fraghaus.com is the Fraghaus TS server address then under player in the menu there should be something to let you register with the server. Once you register you can change channels. If you have any issues post on the FragHaus forums. There is almost always a mod or admin on there.So would having Teamspeak running concurrent with BF2 cause any lag or problems? My office connection is DSL yes, I have logged more than a few matches here but at home it is very high speed internet.
Could you just tell me what I need to do for teamspeak? What to install, etc.
I have already paid for my BF expansion. I don't trust the downloadable version. I would rather have a CD in hand to install on all the computers I want it on, rather than rely on EA to get it to me.
Thanks - I have played with the spec ops before (picking up someone's kit when dead) and liked it a lot. I also like the assault weapon - seems to pack one heckuva punch. That will prolly be #4.If you play spec ops, unlock the spec ops gun. The unlocked rifle does not have the red dot aiming, you have iron sites when you aim but it packs a good punch on full auto.

If you unlock the assult kit rifle you will lose the grenade launcher.
The support unlock has a slower rate of fire than the standard support weapon though the damage per hit is higher with the unlock.
IMO you would probably be the happiest with the spec ops unlock.
Thanks. Now if I could just get the rank. I played on a ranked server yesterday for a few matches and got about 60 to 70 points, but they NEVER registered.I have not noticed any lag running TS with any game.

and the BFG is overclocked as well. I jsut have to wait until Friday to get it. The coupons cannot be used before then.I just ordered a 430W power supply and new headset from Newegg.

1. I'm jealous, I want that vid card2. Quit crying that you have to wait until Friday until you can pick it up.So what exactly are you saying here?and the BFG is overclocked as well.

1. Then go buy it, biotch. 2. I wanna get it now, and I might not have time in my patient load to get it Friday. For the love of Pete, man. It is sitting there waiting for me. Of course, I have to wait for the power supply anyway ($90 at BB for a 430 W, $30 at Newegg for the same thing), but that is besides the point. That vid card needs a home. Here it is almost the holidays, and there it sits in a box, without processing millions upon millions of pixels like it wants. It is a travishamockery, I tell you.1.

Your choice, which ever way you want to take it.
BFG has a lifetime warranty too. Good stuff. I got a 6800OC myself.
I'd have to upgrade my mobo unless they have a version for a AGP slot and not only the PCI express that I don't know about. :(1. Then go buy it, biotch.1. I'm jealous, I want that vid card2.

LOL! Actually I got a really good deal on it. A dumb guy at work bought it and didn't like it so I got it for 125.00 bucks. He was flipping out that he would get stuck with it. That was 10 months ago. Great bang for the buck if you ask me. I have NO desire to spend 300-400 dollars on a vid card at all.BFG has a lifetime warranty too. Good stuff. I got a 6800OC myself.
