Clart - they aren't available on a lot of the smaller maps. I think all of the 64-player maps have planes and choppers in them (though I could be wrong) and if you play on single player, you normally find that the bots nab them first before you get the chance. Flying choppers is quite easy...

I agree Zorba. But what gives the sniper class away the most? The noise of him firing - especially if the target is playing with surround sound on or a decent set of headphones - it's easy to find where they are. I think the sniper should get a secondary role (and rewarded in due course) as...

Is it just me, but few (if any) RTS games have matched the gameplay of C&C Generals? I know it's riddled with faults and has loads of hacks when played online, but it's a truly fantastic game - especially when used with with Zero Hour exapnsion CD. Maybe developers should be using this as a...

You're right m8 - if you miss with the sniper class and they hear whereabouts you've fired from, you're in hot water. One thing I found that worked great was having twin snipers. I lay prone, slightly downhill from another sniper above me. We were looking both in the similar direction and it...

It's good - quite a departure from the previous 2 games though. Looks a lot nicer and sounds better too. For my money, Civ 4 takes some beating though. It may not look as good as AoE3, but it's got a hell of a lot more depth. D.

LOL. I watched a guy climb all the way up the crane the other week. I waited and waited until he got into a sniping position and then I shot the little fecker off his perch. I would have given anything to see the tantrum he must have had with that! ;) D.

How did you guys go on with that ATi card? I hope none of you lost any cash with the dodgy b*****d? D.

I'll have a bash tonight. I need to get used to the M95 sniper rifle that I unlocked on the last online game. Anyone willing to be a stationary target for me? :cool: D.

-2 most mornings for me. The lowest I've seen in a car was -26C when we were in Dawson City, Yukon. The hottest, +50C when we went of a 4x4 trip out in the desert near Dubai....:cool: D.

It's one of the most annoying settings on a PC. They are either On or they are Off. Failing that, they are Restarting. All this Standby and Hibernating nonsense just confuses things - espeically the calls I get when people accidentally put the bloody things in Standby and don't know what to do...

Apache Longbow's. Well overdue.....! :D D.

You actually use the Hibernate function? It's one of the first things I switch off! :) If you click on Start, then go into Control Panel you should see a list of options - including one called Power Options. If you don't see it there, you may have to click on 'Switch to Classic View' on the...

Zorba - will do m8! ;) Griff - I thought about D/L'ing it as well. But I've bought all of the BF1942 expansion CDs and that steaming pile 'o turd called Battlefield Vietnam. I need to keep my BF library complete! :) D.

Supposed to be out this Friday I think. Only £14.99 from Play.com so I can't really argue if it's a load of crap! Be interesting to see how the new units and maps perform. I hope it's not all night-vision crap and too dark like Doom 3 & Quake 4 - that will really piss me off... :nono: D.

LOL - keep your cash m8. I've spoken to a few staff at PCW regarding those Philips PCs - they've had loads of returns on them as they had quite a few issues. See if someone will spec & build you one for the same cash? D.

Firey - when you select the multiplayer option and the list of server names appear and stuff, there's an option to connect to IP. Also, you'll need the port number and the password if there is one (like NEB-CM has set for this match) D.

LOL Joel - it actually got it's first clean in about two months yesterday. I walked out to it this morning and thought 'fecking 'ell - it's shiny!' ;) Not for long though, eh? Especially oce the councils start to grit the roads properly. D.

It is indeed m8. What colour of GT did you have? D.

Me too! I'll have to put a heater in the attic where my PC is or else my fingers will freeze. It's so bloody cold up there! ;) Good map choices too. D.

NEB-CM - sounds fine by me m8. It's your guys server, so you just let us know the details as and when... :cool: Zorba - NEB's server is on 85.236.101.13 - port 16668. It's already added to my favourites. :approve: D.

Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but good on you m8! :D http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/general/story.asp?ArticleID=1226&EMC-Nov05f D.

Aye - stick with it. No doubt you'll get battered in the first few games, but you'll soon get much better! :D D.

LOL m8 - I had some bell-end last night flicking his rear fog lights on and off in front of me last night. Like, wtf can I do pal? They are autolights and xenons at that. I should have put the 3 billion-candle power full-beam on to really piss him off! ;) D.

cliohead - have you got a larger pic of that? Zorba - not sure on the map m8 - the CM chaps will be picking it. They always go for the 64-player maps by the looks of it, so some practice maybe in order! :) D.

Good stuff - we could do with a decent spread of classes.....

Right, we should start a poll of preferred classes. There's no point in a dozen assault players if no-one is going to be a support/medic, etc. :D My prefs (in order) Medic Support Sniper Any decent anti-tank guys or engineers out there? P.S. I'm so-so at flying the planes, but a bit handy...

Come on you 172 Cup owners - we need to see yours! :clown: :p

Me too - weekends are the best... Are you CM lot using headsets though? That would give you guys a major advantage... ;) Looks like I'll be double-teaming with ozzy - medic is my preferred class! D.

LOL - bloody Police have the Airwolf silencers as well now - didn't hear a thing! ;) D.
