Started off well last night on different servers. The danish one being really good. Think its called Denmark Team DK. Hardcore only so hard to adjust for a while. Not that its difficult to die in softcore, which i seem to do a lot off. Anyway had a few good games on the PH server over the last week or so. Also met and friended a few PHers as well, did get killed a lot by those very same friends.
Hope to be on later tonight and will carry on where i left off.???? Oh and my PSN tag is xtraboost. cheers

You'll have fr from me later, and I'll add you to the VIP list (still not sure what that actually does as I had to wait last time I played and I paid for the bloody thing!

Hi guys

Long time since I've played BF (too busy with GT5) - is there a ph server now?

Might have to dust the disc off smile

Thanks Sway.
I will maybe see you later, on the PH server. Also, is there a server fund to contribute too?

Quick question. Are the server set up to be console or PC specific. In that if I am playing on an Xbox, will I encounter PC and PS3 players too?

Pretty sure its all ring fenced.... PC players on a console server would absolutely slaughter everyone. There is just no beating a mouse when it comes to aiming.

Don't know if that is good or bad from my (xbox) point of view. It means I'm still a bit crap.

So having bought the back to karkand pack... I think it's been a bit of a rip so far.

Why is gulf of Oman the only map that seems to work online?

I think I played rush at karkand once and now that's seldom seen. Never seen any servers with wake (my favourite) or sharqi (another fave).

What's going on?

Make sure your searching for ALL game types - at lot of times on the B2K it changes to conquest assault - a different tick box on the server browser.

Will have a look later. What is conquest assault? Is it much different from normal cq?

Btw had an awesome few rounds last night on the PH server. It seemed to be PH vs. as well! And this time I was on the same side as Dobbin and Pexy and others so I wasn't getting my face handed to me every 5 seconds.

They all left about 1am though and then it was 5 against 1 on firestorm for most of the game. Meant I got to practice though. But before everyone bailed I did manage to take a heli out with a non guided tank shell. That is so satisfying!!!

Was on the right of the map (coming from RU) in the open space. Seen their transport chopper. At first he was too high, but then he began swooping down. I guessed an elevation and an amount to fire ahead of him and bam! Right in the kisser!

Also took out a tank at C, from B without really knowing what I was firing at.

That was good fun - I was on the same squad as Pexy et al and was put to shame by their 50 odd kills and few deaths per game, against my 10 or 15 kills and about 25 deaths - dunno how they do it :-)

Mind you, just started using the Famas and while it's great when I can actually hit someone, it's a nightmare to handle, just seems to recoil all over the place. Unlocked some bits for it last night so will give them a whirl later, hopefully it'll be easier to use...

Yeah had some good games too, mainly against PHers. There were 2 games in a row where the PH team went 150 odd tickets ahead, but snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Dobbin and Pexy were generally kicking my arse! hehe

Noticed that I had a few hundred MS points in my account so I forked out for the remaining Co-op unlocks (because fk playing that game mode!) and I'm pretty disappointed with them. The G3 could be fun but will take some getting used to, M39 doesn't offer anything that the SKS can't and also fires slower and the SG553 feels like it should be better, it just seems to have 20% less power than any other gun in the same so I can't kill people quickly enough with it.

93R is a good laugh though biggrin

Had a long game on wake island today. Its a lovely map. Don't see why there is a lot of hate about the CQA mode. Is it just because one team doesn't have a base? surely adds to the challenge and the fun. Wake is such a good map though.

+1

I love Wake too, reminds of my old PC days playing Battlefield with a dodgy dial Internet connection!

Interesting night on the server, got an 8 kill streak right the end on bazaar by hosing 200 bullets at you lot trying to go from C to B.

Oh and who was the admin as I got killed by you on seine and stuck on the US team for no reason. Wasn't impressed by that, as I was 14-1 and best player for the Russians. No message to explain why.

Not a moan btw, just observation.

On and pexy, enjoying the dart glitch much? wink
