So my question is, are you guys running a server or not? (if not i cant imagine playing it for too much longer) Cheers Chris | ||

Registered Member #14 Joined: Sat Dec 20 2003Location: Ontario, Canada Posts: 2646 | Running a BF2 server takes a huge amount of resources and connection bandwidth. We used to have a server but it couldn't handle what we were throwing at it - we had to choose between BF2 and JO - JO won out. The biggest problem was we were hosting the HardJustice mod (www.wccsquad.com) - which is for coop play. This mod really chews up resources - but really is worth a look. When we want to play it we might put a small HardJustice server up, or join any of the bigger dedi servers out there. | ||

BF2 didnt come with Coop as standard, its only with the last couple of updates that they added a Coop option, but a Mod called Hard Justice was designed by some clever big brainy types which made BF2 worth while in Coop. Another Mod is called Battle Racer, its a racing game that uses the BF2 terrains, and alot easier than Track mania Nations lol wccsquad.com for the Hard Justice or ask grunt nicely and he might give you another option. Battleracer.com for the racing Mod We play these at times, we just throw a server up when we are in the mood for a game, so dont give up on BF2, and yup JO is still the better game, if your around and we are going to have a game we will give you a shout m8. | ||

Just got my second gun unlock, both guns are worse than the standard equip  Anyhow i havnt been on vt or Joint ops for a while and the reason is - i had a crazy power surge a while back which screwed my pc up and i lost all my data, including my very first Coop map for joint ops, the darn thing took a month to make!!! and from then on i was in the huff with joint ops like a big kid who threw all of his toys out the pram. so i tried a few games in the mean time, the only one worth mentionin being BF2. I have made my peace with JO again and tidied all of my toys back up and ill be back on vt and JO in the next week or so, so see you all soon!! ps - i should write a book or something, when i start typing i cant stop  heheChris | ||

Its very very quiet and it shuts itself down when your not using it, best £60 you will spend. Come to think of it get yourself a good surge protector or better yet a ups as well m8 lol. | ||
