have to agree fella, that MOD is brilliant and really well made , just cant help thinking that most bf2 peeps wont try it cause the servers arent ranked :rolleyes:

EA should drop the rank system now and give more support to the MOD community, BF 1942 didnt need it and was far better than bf2 or 2142 tbh

Just reinstalled this too see how it runs on my new rig, can't use the high quality Hardware Sound..... Apparently my card isn't supported......
So my Xifi is not a Xifi according to EA.... :confused:

can defuse as an engineer if your laid down behind it, same way you do the anti tank mines.

though claymores are a tad more dangerous as you cant always tell which way its facing till its too late lol

All the good servers run ABR (Alternative Battlefiled Ranking) and you get a lot more points in PR so it doesn't take long to rank up. (Average about 3 or 4 times more than vanilla)

Here's my stats: http://www.gloryhoundz.com/stats/44303749

I currently play in a european based tournament and have done for the last 12 months! The focus is organised teamplay! With dedicated airforce no more TKing for jets/helo's as you would be assigned your own! Squads actually work together to attack points! Far more fun and intense!

This weeks battle is Karkand night!

There should be a xfi blue button in your start menu called "console".

It should give you 3 options "Game" "Entertainment" and another which escapes me.

Change it to game when you are playing games.

It's in Start->All Programs->Creative.

I believe its with a spanner! You need to crawl up to it! Then use your spanner like you would with an AT mine! But not sure if that works with vanilla!

Yeah i think i tried that once and didn't work.... Maybe just suicide on it then, that'll dismantle it ;-)

DirtyJester · 12 Feb 2007 at 14:21

Thanks for the tips on defusing 'IamMed' (and others)... I never even knew you could do it on either mines or claymores ! Cheers guys

Awesome, nice one mate. Have been running with normal audio settings since I got it, maybe that could also be why my Supreme Commander sound isn't that great as its running through the crystaliser etc

Well after a few hours of "trying" to play euroforces I can advise anyone thinking of getting it not to touch it with a 10 foot bargepole.

Great maps, but generally teams are uneven like 12v4, they rape the hell out of the uncaps and then hurl abuse at you if you try and ask them to play fair.

And if you do manage to kill one of these nice people they call you a n00b or insult your mother.

Wouldn't be so bad but this wasn't just one server, it was all 5 that I tried..... :mad:

Play PRmm 0.5 its the best mod I have seen for BF2 and really take the archade feel out of the game.

railer33 · 13 Feb 2007 at 09:01

PRmm 0.5 is good but if you want an even balance between arcade and realism try the EBC tournament! NO tking, defo no Base raping the AA guns at mainbase are devastating! and the Squad based play is fantastic! but i guess iam biased! hehehehehe

But defo give PRmm a look! But for some they might find it a little to real!

Thats a good way of putting it. I had a go last night and its not arcade game anymore the way they play it.
At the start of the round, the squad leader briefed us on our objectives and immediate movements and asked for 2 riflemen and medics with the rest free choice. The squad acknowledged and volunteered their positions. We then moved forward to secure defensive positions on the advancing enemy moving under heavy smoke who had a sniper providing covering fire. dam organised

Ive never been briefed by a squad leader on any server nevermind a random public one

More patience is required, theres no crosshairs on anything so expect to be junk but its not impossible. Its a bit like an infantary server and then some except with vehicles

Does EBC have a download link at all?

There's a link on my sig try that! If you want any further info regarding EBC dont hesitate to ask! Like i said it is BF2 but organised! With Squad briefings organised training, and proper strategies for each battle! No deliberate TKing but in battle things happen hehehehe!!!!

here is a few movies made by some of the guys who play in the tournament!
Some are from previous campaign 5 which we used POE2 and a couple from the start of this campaign!
