What do you mean laser?

I've been rocking the engineer today. Basically I was getting sick and tired of aircraft pwning me all day long, so I started doing some research and discovered something which has changed the game completely for me. See, I always thought that you needed a sniper with a soflam to designate targets before you could fire rockets at them. The result of today's research is discovering that the Stinger will lock on itself, which is brilliant. I've taken out a few choppers already but jets are a bit more challenging. I've also been running anti tank mines which are lovely for holding down flags too. I just had a match on Golmund Railway where I pretty much single handedly held down E, and my commander was bloody helpful too, making sure I was stocked up all the time with mines and rockets. Gutted I didn't record it, it was by far my most fun / best gameplay yet, it really freshened up the game for me.

That's the base level netcode, and will basically require recoding from the ground up to fix, which is why it hasn't been fixed yet. DICE is also remarkably quiet about it.

It's not bad. It's not good, brilliant or whatever, just not bad. The PC version was plagued with bots and shit that were farming for stuff, so they could sell said stuff on the real cash auction house, I don't know if that transferred over to the consoles or not. It also got a bit samey samey after a while, after a few hours I was just thinking "how about some sunshine?", it was all drab and dreary, which is the point of the game, but that's the main thing that made me stop playing, and interest waned. I'm not sure if the consoles will have all the stuff that PCs had, we literally had thousands of goodies, and the map was massive. If so I'll be impressed, but I doubt it.

I did. When Dylan started posting on our forums, his posts looked like someone lobbed a can of alphaghetti spaghetti at the screen and it took 20 minutes to decipher them. I told him to put that in front of every post as it'll force him to concentrate a bit more and slow down a bit. Being the legend he is, he obliged, and now not only is he more understandable, but it's become his trademark and he's sort of the FG mascot too. See if you can spot him in this photo: He's basically Hammy the Hamster from Over The Hedge.

I think Russell is an idiot, but I can appreciate his way of doing things. Whereas this interview could've turned into a massive argument and potential fight, he managed to keep it light and humorous, which is about all you could hope to achieve with the WBC - they're a bunch of nutters.

Yep. Basically Google has this publisher thing which analyzes your site and offers advice on how to improve things, for example the images on this site can be reduced in size but still look the same, some Javascript needs a few tweaks, things like that. They're all minor things, and will take me an age given my coding abilities but you can expect the site to start running a bit smoother over the coming weeks.

Well the SQL issues seem to be resolved lately, *touches wood*, so let's hope they stay like that. On a side note, I have been doing loads of research on how to optimize things, and I'll be rolling out some changes in the next week or so, so if you log on and the site's down, please note that this is for maintenance purposes only and will hopefully only be for a short while.

It's cool Rich, I totally understand dude. Doesn't make you exempt from a good ripping though
-
Bahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha Honestly, it's like a book. You just know it's going to happen

I thought rage was rubbish tbh. Was really expecting more from the creators of Doom and Quake.

Agreed, EA are the worst firm in the world. No two ways about it. Oh and Currys, Carphone Warehouse and Talktalk. Them too.

Once again young Fitzpatrick...

Why hello Sean, glad to have you with us -
This needs to happen. It'd be awesome if you lot meet up!
-
I wish we could just have new maps rather than leftovers.
-
Dude add me on Origin: Diddums84
-
Agreed. Make it happen.
-
FUCK YEAH! I'm still waiting for the call that goes "my missus can't make it because the neighbour's cat's best friend's giving birth" or something. You know who you are.

Man, I've got stalkers from everywhere! Welcome dude, make sure to have a brewski for me! Do you live in the UK?

We've been migrated. This is due to a server upgrade, so it's online now at 213.239.204.109:25586 The world should still be intact so if anyone can confirm this, that'd be great.

ALL MY LIKES!

Ok so far I've got £5 from Dylan and €8 from Cal & Stephen. This results in £11, so I'm going to account for 10 due to Paypal fees & exchange rate fluctutations. For this, I can turn the server down a wee bit, which will still be plenty to run vanilla for 10 or so dedicated folks. I also expect other folks to chime in a couple of quid when they can, and when they want to play. It's unfailr to those paying that they fork out all the cash all the time, unless they specifically say in this thread that they don't mind. I will also be throwing some wedge in when I can, but this will be purely leftovers from the ad revenue after I've paid the site's hosting bills. They're currently generating an average of 20p a day, so don't expect much. I'll review the whitelist, and I'm going hardball. If I suspect even the tiniest suspicious activity, you're not going on the list. Sorry, but I'm determined to make this a pleasant experience for all, and if folks are going to pay for it, then I#ll fight tooth and nail for them.
-
So are we going to give this a second shot as is, or do I need to clean out the whitelist and start again?
-
If a few folks commit to 2-3 quid a month, I'll sponge this month's payment and keep it open from there. I hate going down the pay-to-play route, but this seems to be the only option to weed out any bad eggs. It's £13,19 a month, so 5 people chucking in a few quid a month will sort it out. Alternatively, I can reduce the server's resources and we can save a few bucks there. Basically, I need to know what people can afford to commit to and based on that I'll see what we can afford and go from there. If your'e not comfortable divulging any information, PM me and I'll sort it out from there. Alternatively, if anyone has any other solutions I'm all ears.

Right, I'm shutting the server down then. At this point it's just costing us money and nobody's chipped in towards the bill which is approaching rapidly. I can only hope that once the mods have caught up and we can implement security plugins that we can go from there, but the thieving has pretty much killed it. Sorry 'bout that folks, but I need to play hardball with this as it's coming out my own pocket at the moment.
