BF2: [OcUK] vs =50K= MKII

Siders77 · 23 Apr 2006 at 10:07

It looks like I'm going to have to pull out I'm afraid, I can't even patch BF2 without it crashing so I can't play.

Unless someone wants to lend me some RAM. :cool:

EDIT: Scrap the above for now. Just managed to install the first patch, going to try the rest now.

well i was playing with my m8 on a UK 64 player ranked server, we was using xfire for voice comms. we was both in a squad, i was the leader. he tried pressing the default key button for speaking in bf2 but the rest of the squad couldnt hear him.

that coulda been his fault due to incorrect key assignments, but when im in a squad and press v the speech icon on the right hand side doesnt come up. it only comes up when im squad leader.

I think it may be worth having a quick read of your BF2 Manual amigo, the default keys are:

B - Can only be used when in a squad and can be used by ALL members of a squad to talk to each other, inlcuding the squad leader. (tho sum people may not hear u if they have VOIP disabled, but this is true of below as well)

V - Can ONLY be used by squad leaders and allows you to talk directly to the commander. The rest of your squad wont hear what you say when u press V and they cannot use it to talk to the commander, Squad leaders ONLY can use the V channel.

I tried using voip today and no joy.
My mic works in windows, it works in the voip setup program but nothing in BF2, anyone got any ideas how to fix this? I'd like to be on voip for this match.

Be sure that uv'e enabled VOIP in the BF2 options screen.

Also, ensure you dont have your mic plugged into the front for case. It must be directly into your sound card/on board sound as for sum reason BF2 doesnt like any other connection.

has anyone got a TS server that we can use? I cant get the ingame to work i just get a red speaker when i try to talk :confused:

Naffa · 23 Apr 2006 at 19:31

We can use the one I use, I don't know whos it is or what the connection is.. But me and Benjo always use it so it should be ok

Aye, got it turned on and the mic is plugged straight into the sound card. I get the green speaker icon in game when I press talk but no-one can hear.

i would prefer to use BF2 VOIP, its ideal for talking both to other squad members and the squad leader and if you are the squad leader the commander.... dont know why anyone is complaining about it tbh. never used TS either and as already been said why use TS when BF2 VOIP is adequate.

I suggest those who are playing check their systems on the 50K servers prior to the match including voip, might help solve any teething problems.

Hopefully everyone will still be ok for the game?

Is it on a ranked server?

Siders77 · 25 Apr 2006 at 08:01

Nope, doesn't look like I will. Stupid ******* PC. :mad:

No, the second you put a password on a ranked server it becomes unranked. (whilst the server will normally be ranked, obviously we have to put a password on it for our games)

Unfortunately fellas I am going to have to drop out

I leave my job in 2 weeks and this Thursday night is the only night I can get everybody in my department together for a leaving do. Gutted about it really but not much I can do about it

I haven't played for a while so I would probably be more of a liability than anything else really

Best of luck to both sets of players and I hope you enjoy it. I will just have to wait for Episode III now!!!!

Yewen · 25 Apr 2006 at 13:49

Glad it is unranked.

Means play should be more 'natural' without the worry of, IT IS ONLY 2 POINTS!!!!11 some people may have.

G00SE · 25 Apr 2006 at 13:56

I'm a sub

But how do i know when i've been subbed on? is there an electronic scoreboard held up by the fourth official

I agreed im glad its not ranked just gonna rush every flag now. i think we need to finalize some stuff now like squads and whos using BF2 Voip & TS.

Yewen · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:08

I will be using TS.

I think we should operate a have a couple of people on every flag we hold policy, to prevent the cheap steals behind our lines.

What I do on EA UK servers and can pick up 20 kills with my sniper rifle

We need to get some plan of action that isnt complicated and is highly generic.

One thing though, people in tanks / jeeps should not just drive off by themselves, at least take one passenger where apropriate.

Squads should also operate as squads, not be split up to much.

Noni = Plane
Chopper = /
Squad Leaders = / /

Rebel=UK= · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:27

yeah we do need some sort of plan, otherwise we will be running round like headless chicknes getting mowed down. The question is who's going to do a plan.....

Yewen · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:41

I am a noobie really, 105 hours ingame.

If that qualifies me I could, but I have never tried anything above a 5 man squad before

In games like this its all about tickets not points.

An Example....

In a normal game, u see a guy about to revive a teammate u just killed. Most would WAIT for him to be revived, then kill them both again (for the points). In a clan game (or game like this) you dont, under any circumstances wait, you kill the medic. The reason being that if the medic revives him, the enemy team doesnt lose a ticket for the death of the guy that he revived. Whereas if u kill the medic, the guy he was about to revived dies (-1 ticket) then the medic also dies/dissapears (another -1)

Ive just realised im helping the enemy :eek:

, i think ill keep quiet from now on.

Deliverance · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:47

May i also suggest those who have dropped out for whatever reason email Kev to say so in order that he can add sum of the subs to the list.

Rebel=UK= · 25 Apr 2006 at 14:48

I do agree with the squads bit you said tho, a squad that works together is much more effective. Also could people spot things aswell, only once tho i hate it when its spotted 10 times by the commander, and when we do spot the jets could the people in r jets take them down, dont just go on a one man mission.
