My EA Downloader has updated 2wice now to EA link

looks similar to steam but without all the integration

Had some great games yesterday on 50k

I'm still finding it strange why so many players don't go for the flags, they seem to hang around the vicinity without trying to capture

There's more points in letting the enemy spawn and then killing them than there is capturing flags. Snipers are the worst for this, they find a choice vantage point and then hope that the enemy capture the base so they can pick off enemies at will.
I've been guilty of it in the past on BF2, but I don't bother anymore, it's more fun getting your hands dirty!

There's also wisdom - a sniper is going to be at a big disadvantage close range.

What is annoying is they're not with their team supporting them from a distance instead..

Are all the Titan maps LAGGY ?

Send it to EA, get them banned, it's the only way.
What exploit were they using, because that's outrageous, 10 rounds like that and they'd be top of the leaderboard!

That has to be the titan resupply bug

Titan is fine until the two ships get close to each other, normally it's still tolerable but if the two ships continue to move once they're close to each other it becomes unplayable.

I can only assume that the whole team stayed on the titan and fired the cannons non stop throughout the entire round to get a score like that.
Gee, sounds like such fun, I might try sitting and tapping the fire button repeatedly myself for 20mins just to get in on the party. :rolleyes:

It's not the titan resupply bug. Those kind of figures are from something else.

nope was some diff exploit, he was asking the 2nd in that list what hack he was using etc ...
the titan resupply might net you an additional 20-30pts IAR ...

look on you tube and all the hacks and exploits are there and as usual punkbuster cant detect them yet .. sucks

don't seem like these stats are working as they should, i know for a fact i got 17 heals iar already have all the things for my gold medic badge but i still never got it last night only needed 15 heals.

Yeah, I think there may be some sort of quirk with the medic hub, I had a round where I was sure I got about 20 heals, but I still wasn't awarded my silver badge, then last night I managed to get my silver even though I thought I'd managed about 8 heals and in BFHQ it shows that I already have my 15 heals towards the gold badge, I just need 300 global heals.
Plus the issue whereby I've been playing the game for 40hrs in total, yet it says I have 61hrs with the medic hub.
The rest of my stats seem to be fine though, it's just the ones involving the medic hub that seem to be weirded out.

Any idea if 2142 supports dual core CPU's?

You need to get the hour requirements first, then and only then will the IAR requirements open up so you can get the medal. The med hub is bugged so it seems however.

Last Kronin · 2 Nov 2006 at 17:15

i think the reward thing is a bit bugged or very slooooooooow, take the emregency rescue pin (8 revives) i can have over 10 revives before the award shows on screen.
Just another 2 hrs as assualt for my 15 hrs then all i need is 20 kills iar, for a easy 500 points, then unlock claymores and then go for the silver badge of that

I have this is mine, 85/60 hrs and 711/400 heals the 15 part is lit up but no matter i got 18 heals today 16 last night and its not give it me.

I think it must be messed up as i only played just over 50hrs in total but says i done 85 maybe this is why its not give it me yet and others.

I was thinking that actually, it would explain why I had such a nightmare getting my Silver medic badge.

Bought this game yesterday, I love it to bits! It plays really well on the settings it defaulted with when I installed, bit of a slow down on 64 player servers and in Titan mode, but other than that runs like a treat!

Had a few problems with it first giving me a memory error, but a quick reinstall and page file adjustment and i havn't had a problem since!

I prefer conquest mode to titan though I think, the game pace just seems higher and being a CS:S player, I prefer it that way. It was only a 24 player server I played Titan on though, so I'm sure on 64 players its probably a little more fun!

Can't wait to play it again!

If you see a 64 player titan server... dont go on it! It will be terribly laggy. 48 max recommended. Even EA recommend this.

Ah right! Thanks for the heads up, i'll keep clear of those then

ThundyCat · 3 Nov 2006 at 13:00

Has anyone joined a Clan?? for BF 2142 ,am tempted to come out of retirement as am loving this game so much .Would be cool to do some teamwork maybe using TS or maybe Ventrillo.
