Dear...............oh..................dear! Mid-life crisis fantastic?! :eek: Maybe when I get my hands on one, a trip up to Carlisle'ish is required to put you in your place, young man..... :rasp: D.

Hehehe - maybe! More likely, I'm just totally outclassed! :cool: Nope - definitely NOT on wireless - I've seen first hand at how bursty net traffic through those things really screws up gameplay. CAT5, straight into the router.... D.

I have heard that some online gamers ramp-down their gfx settings to almost piss-poor quality, simply to improve frame-rate and response times? I remember the 'ol favourite on Soldier of Fortune II of unticking the 'Detailed Sky' option in graphical settings. Instantly the enemy players were...

LOL - bad luck there! D.

Yup - I vaguely recall seeing a silver oh-sixer on my travels. D.

Mainly, m8. It could well be the BF engine itself that causes these issues. But having said that, the last LAN session I went to, I didn't recall dodgy situations when we were playing BF2 - and definitely not on CoD2 either. That's not to say they weren't happening - just that they were far...

Lessons to be learnt there Roy. You clearly had high hopes for STALKER since placing the order back in 1986. Maybe your hopes for Crysis should be taken down a peg or two, also? Think of it as Farcry 2 (which wouldn't be a bad thing anyway) but anything better/superior/amazing after that would...

I know it's an obvious statement to say that the faster your BB connection, the better the 'experience' will be. But how much does general broadband speed make to your game, in comparison to what the server deems to correct at any one particular time. E.g:- Me at home on a 1MB connection at...

Looks like a good blat out! I'm sure I'd be hosing down the car for weeks after though - getting all the sand out! I think I can safely say that Rich's black mirror will never see a beach in it's life.... D.

Just watching that vid (and bearing in mind I know nothing about the game) the knack seems to be random turns counter-clockwise and firing slightly more inward of the 'turn' you're making. That way, making a clear path for you throughout the turn. I'm sure its massively more difficult than...

Good pics! Looks like a busy day?! D.

It's just down to development time. The PS3 will begin to make a name for itself with decent titles soon enough. The only problem being that if Sony doesn't get its act together sharpish, the XBox 720 may not be too far off... ;) D.

Ouch - that sucks Colin. :( I've deleted saved games in the past. Nothing worse when you realised that all that time has just been lost.... :( D.

LOL - 5 minutes into it hardly scratches the surface! You have to give it a chance! It's far from perfect, but it's not that bad.... D.

Gizz material....:approve: Bag off the Dale Winton indicator lenses and that would look perfect. D.

I'd always let onto a Willy or a Valver if I saw one. Same with 172s and 182s, but I don't think I've ever acknowledged a 197. By the time I've realised that it is a 197, it's already driven past. Probably thinking 'that miserable teewat in that 182, ignoring me....' ;) D.

I shining example of clarity and logic, compared to Cisco! Must admit though - Intel's download section does get on your tits. Just how many times do you have to confirm/accept or proceed to get the bloody file downloaded! ;) D.

I don't think I've ever used such a disjointed, unhelpful, illogical and just plain stupid website as Cisco's. Every single option on the screens are a million miles away from what you need or want. We've got a new 1841-SDSL router with SmartNET cover and I'm just after downloading the latest...

Exactly. :D D.

That was a great bit. I just used loads of cover and the shotgun at close range. Dumped that once I nailed a few of them and switched to the SMG. Will have to do it again when I apply the patch though....:dapprove: I agree with The Munson though - some of the point-blank shots should be an...

That would be great online if we could get a CS session sorted out! :) D.

I'll have to get this one reinstalled, I think.... D.

Fair point m8 - Intel certainly seems to have gained the upper hand for quite a while now. I'm still liking my current setup. It plays what it needs to fine now (especially now that I've solved the heating problems - check out my biatching threads on SLi Zone ;)) - but as always, the time will...

Nice one - I'll have a look for that mod! It doesn't screw-up PB and kick you off from playing online, does it? D.

I did think that at first m8 - but the presence of vehicle-enabled maps led me to think that no-one was playing on them at the time. I have noticed that ''No vehicles = 1" flag on the load screen. Is that option relatively new? I don't recall seeing that before. My last wish with a BF2 patch...

Bugger - I keep forgeting about that Griff! D.

Ok - soap-box time. Last night was the first time I'd had a go at BF2 in literally months. I applied the latest patch and got ready for some tank ownage. Except I couldn't. The main reason being that out of the quickest ten servers in ping times, the top eight were all infantry only. There...

Traitor.....:rasp: D.

Imagine if they managed the detail of GTR2, the damage model of Colin McRae and the scale of TOCA3. Now that would be one awesome racing game! D.

Not always true. BenR uses a pad with GTR2 and totally owns on the laptimes compared to us wheelie-boys. The git. D.
