Trent242 / RBurley, just buy the fricken game! you're forking out R500+ per month for ADSL already!

Some peoples audacity I tell you!

... flying with a mouse is too much like hard work and the reaction time to far to slow.

You need to adjust the pitch / yaw settings on the bottom left of the key config screen. Set it to at least 8.

Thanks dude - will do.

Thanks dude - will do.

I have mine set to 8 for pitch (for/back-ward) and 10 for yaw (side to side).
Mouse sensitivity is set to 8 as well - haven't really noticed much difference above that though.

i stay away from flying... i rather drive or be a copilot... or just use the plane as a means of transport on a map... if they just had TIE fighters in BF2..

I like setting myself little goals - like badges or ribbons, I'm keen to get basic ordenance...

Apparently doing the kamikaze jeep thing with C4 on the bonnet is a good way to get this badge. I have yet to try it though. It also has the nice side effect of really pissing off the people you do it to

i've been a attack chopper whore lately!

its relaxing to fly that thing around, i do a pretty good job, always end up having some dude as my gunner going "lets do it again" cause i always give them the most optimal shots and they 99% of the time end up getting a gold badge cause of my flying!

Heh heh, noted! My favourite mini-game. Definitely need to find some "asault" targets for that one

On the back flag of OCS, I watched two dune buggies going around in circles for ages until the front one finally hit a tree or something. From the ensuing explosion the guy chasing was obviously doing a kamikaze, but it was the funniest thing to watch

Useless....funny how you rammed a buggy into a APC on Saturday nite...without C4.....with me on board your buggy....hmmmmmm

 

[thisgeek]

ROFL.

Btw, with the kamikaze thing, the idea is to hop out at a safe distance BEFORE collision!

 

[Trent242]

but then it won't be Kamikaze anymore .... ?

 

[doobiwan]

Pffff, what's the fun in that?

it wasnt my fault your airbag didnt work... and besides it was one of OUR APC's who didnt stick to the DRIVE LEFT and OVERTAKE RIGHT rule of the road...

 

[fivelza]

I do recall that it didn't really matter as you just barrelled into it at some ungodly speed....left or right side of the road it was not good for my health to be driving with you last nite

 

[doobiwan]

ROFL

aw man where was I?

subvert conversation: Anyone using an IS ADSL account to hit the SGS BF2 servers? I'm considering switching with the whole Nov 1 thing.

 

[fivelza]

Why the change doobiwan.....I have friends who use IS via a reseller at the moment..no problem.

Lost your VOIP? Think you're gonna die? Strap C4 to yourself and do it in style. Spread yourself around hehehe.

@Mcjunk: squad hopper

 

[useless]

lol... i usually do the kamikaze thingie without C4...it might just scare the APC driver to run away and leave the APC for me...

I'm happy with Web Africa at the moment, but most of my activity (2-3Gb / month) is local BF2, I average less than a Gb international traffic a month. Some of the IS Guys (I think SAOL) are going to be offering 2-3Gb international + 30Gb local or <R200 a month post Nov 1, which suites me quite nicely.

I'm not ready to jump ship just yet, but just interested to know what gaming performance would be like.
