Sounds good to me. Do you guys use in game VOIP or something like TS/Vent?

I own a vent but no OcUK'ers really ever join it even though I've said its available to use.

The in game VoIP uses a decent codec so the quality and speed is pretty good. It's probably better than TS imo but not a scratch on Vent.

Only annoying thing about ingame VoIP is it's to your team only or all talk only, depending on the server. On the 6 OcUK servers hosting LFD atm we have options to be able to vote all talk on or off. Default being off.

I understand this to be different to Xbox games where you can talk in game and also out loud to your opponents for purposes of cussing the other team

practice a bit in the Single Player vs thing you can do..

treat the smoker tongue like a rocket launch in quake 3 -aim slight ahead of your target (the red indicator is bull most of the time), even shoot just before coming into view (if you're strafing) and it his quite a lot more

Great advice, thank you! Will try these tips

the ocuk servers make it hard to play expert campaigns on them, often not given permission to call votes to change difficulty/campaign map etc

Actually, on the 1, 2, 3 and 6 (and possibly 5? Seaniboy - would you mind confirming this?) OcUK servers you can both team talk and all talk. Details in the link below:

As far as I'm aware, only the "return to lobby" vote is disabled for non-admins. You should be able to set difficulty and campaign as per normal.

The cfg you sent me also had restrictions for change level and restart though I have removed these following an email request at the weekend. As long as the restart isn't abused in VS... I'm sure it won't be then it will stay available.

Ah, I'd best double-check things

I bought it

Just had a game again with repta, buckz and ezee, completed Dead Air on expert. Unfortunately my game has crashed again after the credits and as a result i once again havent got the sodding achievement so still at 1/4 :mad:

On a plus note, the ocuk server stayed as expert and ran very well

Repta · 4 Mar 2009 at 21:20

I died right at the end again, stupid tank. Ill get the expert achievment eventually lol

grudas · 4 Mar 2009 at 21:27

tank always kills me first

schumi84 · 4 Mar 2009 at 21:39

The special infected seemed to have it in for you both during the game, though some good witch killing from Buckz (grudas).

Was a good fun game and had a good laugh, will have to play again, hopefully tomorrow

Knubje · 4 Mar 2009 at 22:07

Just had an awesome game with sharpy, hops, seani, gord, hippo and mrk on Blood Harvest. Very close game with only a few hundred points in it at the end - and some good lulz!

Shame about Gord getting a poor connection to OcUK 6 though, hopefully not spoiling his game too much but if he was lag free it could have been worse for us!

Delvis · 4 Mar 2009 at 23:00

Doesn't Gord always have relatively bad ping? Or is that someone else...

998cc · 4 Mar 2009 at 23:22

I always see Gord with 1 red bar

I think i remember him saying he was on AOL. (shudder)

Have just installed plugin but will not have a chance to test till tonight. If anyone is on private 5 before then let me know if you have any problems with this.
