Game is awesome, thanks for the link Meter. I see alot of potential for griefers. Team Killing being the least opportunity.
For example. You can run both Jap ships aground, then switch teams. Or blow up all the American planes then switch. Guess thats where there are so many locked servers.

TK is a problem, its best to get access to some password protected server where people dont do it.

Meter, on witch server are you playing?
I am going to try to setup a dedicated server on my other computer tonight. Maybe you can help me testing. If it works i'll post the password here for our own DBboards server =)

Big difference between the EA servers and Joe Smoe's servers. ( too much lag if you play on someones dedicated unless you keep the numbers down.
One thing I think is sweet is to Scout and target for the big guns, but to get people to work with you is tough.. everyone wants to be a freak'n pilot.. Cant wait to see the other game types (team deathmatch, ECT ) .
come on Sept 12th.. I want more maps.. tired of that little island

i like this game a lot, single player sucks but the multiplayer owns.
its funny as hell how people "camp" the airplanes, i usually roll up a jap sniper and get into one of a few different positions and pick them off while they fight over the airplanes funny as hell =P
or that one anti aircraft gun, perfect position to kill them as they lift off.
team killers are a pain in the ass yeah, but it was funny as hell last night i was playing and people were blowing each other away over the airplanes so i got into a tank and started killing everybody =P, would just follow the dots on my radar lol then everyone started killing each other, was 5 or 6 people having a knife fight in one of the bunkers and i threw a grenade in and killed them all lol.
dont know why everyone likes the airplanes so much myself, hard as fuck to hit anything with them i can get more kills by being on the ground than being in a plane.

Right now i cant play the game because the bandwidth on a 56k4 dial-up connection is not sufficient. ISDN on thursday but i doubt that will solve the connection problems.
Rabdallas PM me if you want to come to our annual network party in Port Zeelande.

For those having trouble with the planes.....turn the mouse sensitivity way up on the aviation tab. Helps alot.
Game owns.
Darwoth
08-30-2002, 10:56 AM
yeah my prob with the planes though is i can never get the damn bombs to hit what i want because you cant see the bogies until the last minute and if you slow down the plane stalls and you crash, and the guns on the plane are pretty much worthless.
someone set up a server =/, i would but my computer isnt good enough.
my name on the game is usually misanthropy btw.
Rahne Sinclair
08-30-2002, 12:15 PM
The guns are completely useful hehe, you just have to get better at piloting. As for bombing, you have to go by your best judgement, I hit f9 when I'm in the plane to get rid of the cockpit display, that helps me better.
Rabdallas
08-30-2002, 01:35 PM
Bombs? I know they are on the plane but how do I drop those. I always Kamikaze into the enemy =)
gr,
Rabdallas
P.S. Didn't have time to setup the server, maybe I will this weekend.
Rhawn
08-30-2002, 04:33 PM
You and me both Rab. I am useless at the machine gun and the bombs (secondary fire). But whats there to flying a Japanese Zero without being a Kamikazee? Roleplay at its finest.

After 6 hours of downloading that it finally got through... And it doesn't frickin work.
Load it up and it acts like it's coming up but then beeps and closes.
Gah!!

Arri Skywolf

Update your fuckin video drivers, omg
Man the game is ok.
Much like DoD actually, except you can drive/fly vehicles, which is quite nice. For some reason I always end up back playing CS when I try another fps though (despite all the 13 yr old morons in CS). So far no other fps I have tried tops CS for the long haul. Pretty cool game though.
God I hope SB is a good game, I am dying to get back to MMPRPGs and EQ is dead to me.

So does anyone have the means to run a server? Or is it just a good idea........

What's the odds of me downloading this on a 56k modem, and what would playability be like?
I want to relive my role as the guided grenade suicide man! Pull pin, hold the grenade then run after people and watch them scatter in terror :D

You cant play over 56k4, i tried ...
Jimmee

Just spent the whole night downloading it only to wake up and realise that I'd been downloading black hawk down the whole time :(
Back to stage one for me :)
And do you mean geniunly unplayable, or just unplayable in the eyes of a cable user?
And also I've just found out that I was supposed to be working yesterday when I had a day off. It's a poor start to the day for Jimmee (but at least they put me back to part time hours a week early, no more getting out of bed early for me :D )
