yup that was one of the most fun games i've had in a while. As Lucutus said, on Kursk(that was the map) some had a helicopter and just kept flying around the base spawn and pounding the place with bombs/missiles. when would finally be killed he'd managed to parachute into where the other helicopters were and start again. That was the only bad part, and tbh it wasn't that bad. Berlin was class though even though there was only 4/5 of us for the most part. The only bad thing i found was the it was only 1 round, would be better to have 2 rounds so there not so much loading, and also maybe revise the map rotation, cuz at one stage it was trying to play all of the bocage maps, 1-3. I still like to see it was a DC server, but maybe certain weeks or something it could be different mods dunno? on a whole though a big thumbs up:D

jonski · 25-11-2003 4:35pm

yeah , i agree , and the spawn killing was lame , even though i took part in one version of it , but only cause it had been done to me the map before . I was sitting in a tank going " this isn't fun "

Any other games we would all have in common ?

DOD , bf1942 , call of duty , TAC-ops ( me only i guess) , Eve of destruction , ?

Its a kick playin with guys I have been discussing topics with for the last 12 months.

I suggest we get a maps thread going, everyone suggest maps they like and want to play (i.e. Not Kursk!), maps which are playable with 6/8. when we have a good rotation of about 8/10 we'll put them on 2 rounds per map and make that go on the server.

Still on 56k and couldnt be arsed d/l DC on 56k.Would most definately prefer to have a game with fellow Irish persons as opposed to Germans,Swiss etc.and probably a lower ping aswell.
Richie

Contact Winters or Shinzon, I sent them both copies of the latest DC a couple of weeks back and should be willing to pass it on (if theyve got it yet)

Alternatively http://www.edgecom.biz/ should be able to burn you a disc. Its run by Echomadman and TheBeerBaron here on the boards.

kaimera · 28-11-2003 9:55pm

anybody around for DC for a few hours tonight ie. now perhaps??

BeatFreak · 28-11-2003 10:03pm

Yeah sure, I've been in and out all night I'll camp there for a while see if anyone shows up. Oh and the Bocage is on and it doesnt seem to be changing 8( my most disliked map....

BeatFreak · 29-11-2003 12:21am

Good game again tonight ! I haven't laughed out loud like that during a game in ages, oh and sorry again Kaimera I didn't see the dustbin, honest !

kaimera · 29-11-2003 12:24am

lol!

np m8. typical iraqi technicals

for shame about the ****ing ping atm. tis horrible.

tuxy · 29-11-2003 8:11pm

does the server ever have alot of people on it? the most iv seen is 6 people, not enough for a proper game
surely the irish gaming comunity isnt this dead?

Hellrazer · 29-11-2003 8:44pm

Not dead---Just cant be bothered downloading all the updates on 56k even though I can get a decent enough game through the all seeing eye
.Jimeatsmenu is sending me out all the updates for bf1942 next week so then there will be 7 on that server.

Suggestion for the mods.

Maybe if you lot got a load of copies of the updates and passed them around at say €2.00 a pop we`d have that server full up fairly quickly.
I know Id use the service.
Richie.

jonski · 29-11-2003 8:55pm

If there is anyone in the Limerick area , I can burn the updates for them .

john.

Jim · 29-11-2003 9:08pm

this happens already, but i dont see why there should be a charge.

you get the disc and pass it on to someone else etc...
its worked for me many times before. i got a disc off winters and sent it on to suppafly, and on monday ill be sending one to hellrazer. ive never paid or been paid.

jonski · 29-11-2003 10:58pm

Well I have no intention of charging anyone , as long as they are not taking the piss .

I would have no problem burning updates for anyone in the community .

tuxy · 29-11-2003 11:04pm

ill post cd's to the first 3 people that pm me

Hellrazer · 30-11-2003 1:20am

Maybe not a charge but a return of a blank disc and to cover postage charges---Iknow its not much but if the likes of Jim was sending out a few a week then it could all add up.
But yeah when Im finished with the one Jimeatsmenu sends to me Ill burn a few copies and post them on to anyone who wants them.

Richie.

Jim · 30-11-2003 1:24am

think everyone has it at this stage. but keep it in mind for when new updates come out.

btw, didnt cost me one cd, winters did it

anyways, where was i? oh yes, on a lagless games2

ps. did everyone get disconnected, or just me?

Na, I charged it to the company. Though then again i own the company so it does cost me

... meh

Jim · 30-11-2003 4:26pm

i got dissconnected from games2, i assumed it was because of my woefully bad connection, so i left it.

but all today i cant get a ping off the server.
is something, up?

jonski · 30-11-2003 5:16pm

I'd say its offline cause I can't ping it either.

BeatFreak · 30-11-2003 6:17pm

Yeah same here sever seems to be down all day, pity I fancied a quick game 8(

Hellrazer · 02-12-2003 4:11pm

So whats the story about getting a game going tonight between 10.30 and 11.00.
Is there a password needed for that Cavan server???

There is no password on the server, you should be able to connect without a problem as long as you have DC 0.5 and BF v1.5 [Both of which I remember putting on that Disc]. And most importantly, if the server is back running tonight

Jim · 02-12-2003 4:43pm

but, but, but,

i just bought max payne 2. oh well.
it'll have to wait till tomorrow

Winters · 02-12-2003 4:45pm

Dammit man have you no self control!

Should have sent that text while waiting in the que at Spar to tell you not to buy.

Lucutus · 02-12-2003 5:18pm

revhellfire reports that the dc server on games2 is back up.

Jim · 02-12-2003 5:23pm

and the plebs did rejoice.

\o/

[come on, it was only €30. damn retailers with their low low prices and attractive display]

jow · 09-12-2003 10:19pm

Hi,

i think the server is perfect, pings are low even for my wireless broadband connection.

I enjoyed the session tonight, except that Dev killed me all the time (oh ,I hate these stingers!!!!!).

But, hey: it was my first time with DC after a long long looong break.

See ya more often... and than with my jow player tag and I will practice a little bit

:ninja:
