Lesson 1: With a plane, don't bother learning how to land. If you want to get on the ground, pick a hostile target, time it, bail, and watch the fireworks
VARIATION: Rig up plane with some C4 before flying. Do everything else the same, but when the plane is about to hit the target, press the big red button while you glide down to the ground with your parachute. Also very satisfying.

That was some craziness tonight there bob. I see you and Marshal noticed my special ops one man raids. Hahaha. I was feeling a little Chuck Norris Delta Force, but wow was that fun. Littered the runway with C4 and waited 'till they rolled over then BAM!!!! Fireworks. I could've just stayed there all day if someone covered the base entrance and had a supply box back by the oil drums.

That would make an awesome movie...add in some cheesy voices and it's classic (probably been done to death I bet!...won't stop me tho)

Hey guys, the server is up and running. You can hit it at cag.ntelos.net or 209.145.66.254. I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to have Cheapy give it a hostname of bf2.cheapassgamer.com, so I will see if I can scare up some contact info for him or I'll just let Mooky handle it. Anyway the box is an Ath XP 2500 with 1.5GB of ram, hanging off of a lightly used DS3 (45mbps) so lag shouldn't be an issue. Please feel free to get in and give this baby a workout, that way your friendly neighborhood server admins, Chachi (aka abanjai) and myself will know if we need to add some ass to this little gaming ho.
[quote name='SteveMcQ']Woah...I'm heading a squad? I can say I've never done that, but I don't mind giving it a try. Flizmo, Dare and Superstar can see how I do and we'll figure it out from there. If the three of you have that sort of experience before then let mooky now in this thread.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Marshal']As long as you work as a team, hey, it should be all gravy.[/QUOTE]
I don't know...going rogue and sneaking about the back part of the map as a spec ops and planting C4 all over the map was awfully fun.
BTW, is there really a large benefit to holding the airbase in the back where the MECs start? All we ended up doing was destroying the radar station, the artillery, a few jets, and the command center. Gameplay-wise, it didn't really seem to affect the game too much in our favor.
Since Charlie Company spawns on the far right of the map and goes for the hotel at the start, is it even worth going to the airbase or do we just hold there?
There is a tank at the airbase that spawns for the MECs and that's the one that always seems to come rumbling into the Hotel spawnpoint and wreaks havoc.
BTW, how long do kits stay on the field? I liked using the Spec Ops kit when doing some demo work, but when I get killed, I like to switch to the Assault or Anti-tank depending on what guys are in the area, then I like to switch back when I get back to my original kit.

just an idea I saw work fairly well yesterday. If bokchoy decides to keep flying the chopper after all the people are dropped off me or some other engineer should stay with him along with a gunner to help take out surrounding targets (with the engineer fixing the chopper during the insuing combat)

We could try it, but I really need to work on my airframe skills before we plan on it working. On the ground I am a killing machine, in the air I am a suicide bomber. Maybe a compromise is to have someone else keep flying (I hear rumor that klezmer is a hotshot pilot) while an engineer stays behind and mans one gun while the chopper orbits the attack site. I need to get some WoW on for a while tonight, but if anyone in Alpha wants to find me on AIM afterwards to work on some tactics I'm bockchoyavenger on IM. Please don't forget the clan server is 209.145.66.254, if we need to password it so we can try out some crazy tactics I can set it up.

Anyone in Charlie a good sniper and tank driver? The only places tanks spawn for MECs are at the Hotel and airbase and if we can get a sniper and perhaps an anti-tank crew up on top of the hotel, we can take out the tank at the hotel and spot the other tank that'll likely come from the airbase. There's only one other APC that comes from the construction site.
The tank could come in from the west of the hotel through the broken wall and a couple of guys on foot could come in from the south while the sniper can move up to the rooftop.

It seems to more or less depend on the team, especially their teamwork/competency of their commander. If they have their stuff together, they'll be relying heavily on art/scan/uav. One game I was playing, they got so pissed at me, they sent a squad of five after me when I dropped into their base :lol:
And on that same note, plenty of MECs will spawn there, due to the air vehicles. If any of their soldiers get tied up there, they're not at the cap points.

I swear to God, someone slipped me somekind of gaming pilot steroids or something....I should've been dead SO many times :lol:
And on a more serious note, even if there are only a couple of people in the CAG server, it wouldn't be a bad thing to stick around and just practice flying or anything else. Steve, casey, and I practiced flying for about a half hour or so, and I could see improvement in that time in all of us.

Hahaha...slip me some of those 'roids then. That was freakin' amazing.
That's one good thing about having a relatively empty server. I was just on earlier in the day flying around and scouting the map, but it's pretty fun flying around getting a hang of the controls with live targets running around.

Bobx13 was definately owning it up with the planes tonight--good game guys nice to see some of us actually on the server!
Ok, is it just me or is anyone else getting constant connection problems that cause the game to skip and stutter even though ping stays relatively constant?
I'm thinking it's my wireless connection not having enough juice, but I run everything else perfectly smooth off the same connection (Guild Wars, CS:S, etc).

The only hiccups I got tonight were 1-2 seconds of random bad lag (despite ping staying constant)....that usually put my jet right in front of the crane 
I thought it was just my CPU/GPU trying to catch up, but maybe not, if I wasn't the only one having problems.

Argh I was afraid the CPU being a 2500 XP might not be enough. I haven't noticed any of these problems myself but I've only been on with a max of 3 people total playing. I have paintball this morning and much of this afternoon, but tonight say 9pm-10pm-ish can some of you guys hop on and I will remote into the box and watch the CPU and RAM counters in the task manager so we can get to the bottom of this? I will hop on AIM tonight and try to catch some of you guys. The other possibility could be the Ethernet switch the server sits on. If my theory about the jitters you guys are seeing isn't the server itself the switch is the next best place to look.

I think it's the wireless connection i'm on...although it works fine for other games, I've read a few posts on totalbf2.net and others have issues playing ANY battlefield game with wireless connections. I guess it's just EA and their bad net code.

I'm assuming everyone else is running hardwired?
And yea, the PCs aren't the culprit, it's most likely bad coding...i'm on 3700+ San Diego and a X800XL.

Yeah guys sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't accusing you of having crappy machines, I was refering to the servers specs. I just got back from paintball, so I'm getting cleaned up and heading over to the colo space to try a different NIC (instead of the onboard POS), and try installing a new switch. Hopefully just like any other problem throwing money at it will make it go away.

The join game option isn't available for the demo, but it will be for the final retail right?
Also, my PC shut down right after some "stryker" guy joined our game and I got in the chopper with him. That was odd...never happened before. But it was still fun learning how to fly around the map.
