    Bf2 related:Bit Boring
    Does anyone else get this? I know one person did and they posted on the bf2 forum giving away their copy of the game and complaining they should rename it ‘Battlecrack’.

    WELL ITS TRUE.

    It has pwned my soul. I remember server ip addresses off by heart. Those of you who are only starting out, or just about to buy it, my only advice to you is run!! Run now while you still have a life!!! This game has absorbed all my free time like a great big greedy fabulous sponge. Scccchhhhluuuurp. If I’m not playing, I’m thinking about playing ( they should give you points for this too imo) ( or compensation)
    I have a few problems with this game. Here they are.

    EA did not think this through: EA did not think this through. In my opinion, with your purchased copy of BF2 should have come ‘Day Off To Play’ vouchers ( non negotiable).
    I think about 14 or so of these would suffice. Its September. I have no holidays left for the rest of the year. That’s 70 days where I’m not playing all the live long day.
    Then there’s Other Stuff. Like, I have to go home the odd weekend ( one is odd, two is even, three is odd) so that’s another TWO days where I’m not playing BF2. I could calculate this out, but then I wouldn’t be playing BF2.
    So Day Off To Play vouchers would really, really help me out. They must have known this game was addictive, it should have a warning.

    I had to buy my own pc: yes yes, my days of freeloading off the other half are over. We both play. My old bothered and bewildered pc wouldn’t be able to handle pong, never mind bf2. And we both want to play at the same time. I’ve won out a good few times so far ( which is why I get frustrated with clan training sometimes - get it together guys, this is coming out of my allocated BF2 time!!!! Arrrrrghhhh) but time is limited and I need to be able to play when I want. So new pc imminent. Yes BOI, sit down, stop cheering and jumping around, I will owe you more money. Under this heading will also come I have To Buy My Own Copy Of The Game- and, as we all know, game stores love selling games to girls. I’ll be lucky if I get out in under half an hour, while they try and sell me Half Life and explain why I need to check the system requirements using small words and hand gestures. I normally cut this short by twirling my hair and saying ‘I don’t know, its for my boyfriend’ and they visibly relax and go ‘Ahhhh. There you go.’ and their world is all back on its axis again.

    I Find I’m talking about the game, to people who don’t care about the game: oh boy. This includes my best friend, who thinks I’m immature and should get a life ( i.e spend all my money on drink) my mother ( uh…….I don’t even know what she’s making of it, but she knows its sad enough)
    The only person I haven’t really told about it but who I know WOULD be interested is my dad, the only thing being I just know if I show him what the game is like, he’ll run out and give it a go and the next thing I know I’d be trying to explain why BF2 and 56k Do Not Mix, preceded by a two hour discussion on Why Computer Games Cost So Much, moving on to Why It Looks Better On My PC Compared To Your PC.

    I’m Dreaming In BF2: This is one big problem. I didn’t even dream in Half-Life, for heavens sake. But I dream in BF2 maps. Then I wake up and want to play. But I have to go to work instead. I had a fantastic moment the other night. On Daqing Oil Fields. In the American Base, the Chinese wopter appeared on the ground in front of me, guns blazing, as I spawned. So I ran up amid enemy fire to the front of the wopter, planted my c4 and ran off, detonated the c4 and took out the wopter. There were no witnesses. But I got a ‘pld’ from the guy I killed. This was my proudest moment. (Second was when I actually hit something with the laser on the wopter. LaaAAAAaaassserrrrrrrrrr).

    Hmm yes, so as much as I complained about aharing a house with Scratchy Foot Woman, Anti-Smoking Woman, The Human Being-Stupid, and Scobie Flatmate from Hell ( who got + X /+ X when his mates called round) they gave me something to talk about. Now, nada. I could talk about something ..em…… oh god yes. Spider Attack Squad.
    The Squad Leader has appeared, and is initiating Operation Get Them At Their Most Vulnerable. He’s staking out the bathroom. I need to go to the loo - he’s above the toilet, dangling precariously. Need to brush my teeth? Above the sink. Need a shower? Up in the corner above my head. I hate him, and the two tactical officers staking out the front door. Spiders - just plain wrong.

    By the way kids, I have JUST THIS SECOND discovered where to find the comments on entries. I thought you all didn’t love me anymore. You bastards.


    LOL Classic blog.

    I wonder where that phrase came form. Did cave men live in trees? I dont think so...? I know monkeys do, but.....hmmmm. Why would you say up a tree for a human being?

    That phrase has always mystified me....

    :o

    /that was just in case silverfish is one of those lovely ladies that says "Oh, so I'm just "fine?" Not great, just FINE?? Well, you can go **** yourslef!"

    I know many of these bizarre creatures. ;)

    So ANYWAY, kinda gettin unusually off topic and wierd for a battlefield forum


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I'm also spoken for, but haven't been swinging around any trees lately unfortunately


    on topic: i like battlefield


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,696 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    Yeah, battlefield's alright.

    good save :p

    i have tried to get my girlfriend into computer games, & while she likes some (i was quite proud the day she finally figured out how to play dungeon keeper 2, & she has robbed my ds with nintendogs on it!) fps are completely foreign to her, she looked at bf2 and said "can i watch the tv?" :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Picking up chicks on the Battlefield board, for shame Mobile Infantry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭angelofdeath


    i tried to teach my gf how to play unreal tournament once, but she couldn't get the hang of not pointing at the ceiling consantly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Bwahahaha....ha?

    Anyway. I tried to get my gf into FPS games, and she came over while I was playing an online game of SoF2.....she was pretty bored, but her eyes lit up when she saw the gore. The second she saw someones leg blown off by a shotgun she wanted to play. So I let her play, she's pretty crap, but bless isn't it cute to see a girl like that blowing people to bits?

    I dunno about Battlefield 2, she's been liking Unreal Tournament alot recently, but I dunno what it is about some girls, they just treat a mouse like a lump of wood. I can't really begin to imagine BF2, but she'd probably like driving around and such...

    Speaking of gore I wish Battlefield 2 had realisitic violence. Wouldn't be so satisfying if you got a head shot, saw the head fly off, blood squirting in the air,body stagger backwards and then collaspe, sof2 style? I mean, not looking for a gore fest, but realistic damage and blood patterns/effects/splashes would be awesome.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭madrab


    yeah it would be nice to see atleast some sort of gore in the game, mainly blood splatter


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,696 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    I'm getting slowly, but surely, more and more offended.

    If girls don't play its :sigh: I wish my gf played......or I wish more girls played....

    if we do play its :sigh: only fat ugly girls play.....or ..its so cute, like a dog doing tricks.....

    Come on to my server and get pwned, you bitches. *



    * not, necessarily, by me. By someone with our clan tags anyway. I hope.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    I'm with you, Silverfish, but unfortunately it's what happens to every thread like this.

    "aww isn't that adorable, they're trying to play games".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Well, since its so rare, its great to see a girl blasting away, successfully or non succesfully, on any type of an FPS game, I find it humourous and yes, cute, to see my gf having fun play one of my pc or xbox games. Whats wrong with that? Sure, I mean I know girls who say omg, it was so cute, I came home and found my boyfriend watching a romantic comedy/cooking/doing something normally associated with women/etc

    Its certainly not something to get offended over, and In the entire sof2 1.0 community, I know one girl that plays, doesn't bother me much, but its sure nice to see at least some interaction between the sexes in a pasttime that takes up alot of our male and a minority female playing time.

    Whats your server IP? I'll come on later. And if you destroy me, I don't mind, I'm not afraid to say I'm not overly great at the game, but I enjoy it immensely :)

    I think I tried to join your server before but it was full....I'll be on from about nine-ish to eleven thirty-ish....

    Gore sucks slows down games only in it for kids, i have never met someone over 18 who wanted gore in a game only people under 18 who because of age rating shouldnt be playing games with gore in them.
