TechPowerUp Battlefield 2 Clan: post here if you are joining

[1Strive]

Jimmy that was a fun couple of rounds. I am glad I invited people and then they apparently invited more people.
Your screen shots are hard to read for me.
Here are some larger ones @ 1920x1440 (what I play at!)


20 Sept 06 / JAC BF2 Server / 1STRIVE

Round 1

Round 2

Round3

Favorite Screen Shot of the Night! Owned 3 guys at their home base, almost died, but escaped to fight some more.

Later,

I've deleted mine... I resize them to 800x640 to make them smaller for people to download, I actually play at 1280x1024 but thought some people wouldn't like them being that big, guess they'll have to put up with them being bigger then!

 

[Jimmy 2004]

Who will be on tonight then?

I'll be on. Bad thing is I've just done maintenance stuff on Windows (drivers, defragging, cleaning up files ect) and BF2 doesn't normally like that

 

[Jimmy 2004]

Didn't stay long, might get back on. Here's my screeenshot.

 

[Jimmy 2004]

1Strive, I just noticed that your last screenshot from 09-20-2006 has a FPS of 0... what's up with that?!

I was having some problem w/ FRAPS.
When I am capturing Movies and I take a screen shot it drops to counting "0" fps.

I don't know why. I don't see any lag, so I don't worry about it.

Hope that explains it. Don't worry my system doesn't ever show under 30fps.

Later,
1STRIVE

 

[Jimmy 2004]

Anyone on tonight? I might come under my new name XSmartShooterX, not sure...

Yeah, we are showing up in force tonight!

1STRIVE and DoubleD will be team'in up as a squad.

All your base are belong to us! You have no chance! Make your time!

Launch all Zorgs for much justice!

Later,
1STRIVE

 

[Jimmy 2004]

Well I'm sorry my ping was all over the place tonight, hopefully it will be ok by next week. Not sure why, but the last few days the ping to some UK servers has been pathetic.

 

[15th Warlock]

I'll try the server right now (it is online, isn't it?)

Btw, my BF2 name is 15th_Warlock

Always online, only really used on wednesdays. If you can make it then it would be great.

Thanks, it was online indeed

Visited it for a while, pings are on the 145~150 range for me, though there was no one else at the server at that time, so pings could go up with more players I guess? hope it doesn't.

Forgive me for asking, dunno if it has be posted before, but at what times do you guys usually play?

Thanx for your reply

EDIT: Dunno if this has happened to any of you before, but I just got promoted while playing, but when I got out of the server, didn't receive my promotion, and my weapon unlock!

Funny thing is, if I check BFHQ I have more than enough score to get my promotion, and the "progress to next rank" bar is full, it also has a 0% progress, even bf2s.com has my new score, but no promotion there either, wtf is wrong?

EDIT: Nevermind, just checked again and got my promotion

Times are as follows:

Plays Wednesdays:
London UK (GMT) = 8pm
East coast is -5 = 3pm
Central time is -6 = 2pm
Mountian time is -7 = 1pm
West coast is -8 = 12pm

Hope your ping doesn't get any higher, 150ms is the max I ever bother to play at.

I've had problems with promotions taking a while before and last time I got promoted it promoted me twice (knocked my score down in between) so I'm guessing they might be having problems with their data servers.

Thanks Jimmy, unfortunately at 2pm Central Time I'm working at my office, but I'll try to join you guys on weekends

Yes, EA master servers seem to be kinda busy these days, maybe getting jammed by all of us playing the BF2142 demo?

Cheers

 

[Jimmy 2004]

Just downloading that 2142 demo at the moment. It's already failed once... at 96%!

 

[Jimmy 2004]

Anyone going to be on later? If my ping is ok I might be able to come on but won't be able to stay long.

 

[Jimmy 2004]

Didn't stay long enough to get any screenshots or anything I'm afraid, just for long enough to get the game going and pick up 77 points

 

[Jimmy 2004]

My PC is going wrong... a few things have been crashing recently (fraps all the time, couple of problems with .Net Framework) and now BF2 has been added to the list of casualties. This XP install is only 2 months old so I think something hardware wise is on the way out. I'm not sure if my 3 month old X800 could be the culprit. Either way, I'm p*ssed off at the moment, I spent hours perfecting this XP install and it still goes wrong.

Edit: I'm not going to be forced into another format! Any software that crashes will be dealt with... but I couldn't fix fraps!

 

[Jimmy 2004]

5th post in a row for me in this thread then

Anyway, my BF2 is still screwed but I'm in the reinstall process now, just downloading the 1.4 patch and I'll see what happens. After that I'll need to look into driver cleaner and removing all drivers and throwing them back on. God how I hate EA sometimes - still buying 2142 though, you planning on getting that 1Strive?

 

[Jimmy 2004]

The screenshot from today:

I'd like to point out the clear winner

 

[Jimmy 2004]

So, are we playing BF2 tonight? Or should we arrange a 2142 game?

I can't play I am San Antonio, Texas Hunting a Job.

I will play BF2142 later today if I get a chance. It is around 12pm here.

Do you have Xfire by the way 1Strive? I don't think I've got you on my list...

I don't yet but I will do it when I get back to the UK. (First week of NOV.) See ya then.

I might stop by soon.....
