Post by: Curval on May 08, 2003, 04:27:34 PM: Doubt I'll make it Sir.

Long story...but BF1942 is unplayable on my machine right now. I had some problems prior to Sunday's HD crash, but now the problems I was having is worse. I can play AH but not BF1942. It looks like it may be the video card itself, who freaken knows. I will do some tesing this weekend with different cards. It's not going to get done by tomorrow night, that is for sure.

I'll let Big_Johnson know about your game.

Post by: Curval on May 09, 2003, 07:01:54 AM: Well...last night I played around with BF1942 and basically have it back the way it was...not perfect but playable.

I can play tonight (I hope) or Sunday...or both.

Post by: Curval on May 09, 2003, 07:19:06 AM: Ok....but we should try and accomadate Jamusta, Dowding etc.

How about a Sunday afternoon game? (we can still play tonight).

Post by: Wanker on May 09, 2003, 07:27:42 AM: Sunday afternoon won't work for me, unless it's later. It's Mother's day, and I'm taking my parents and my sister and her husband out to lunch. If you want to try to organize something, I'll try to be there.

Cya tonight!

Post by: Eagler on May 09, 2003, 01:13:26 PM: have tried the demo

how does the full game compare?

seems in the demo you jump in a tiger and doom it out ... get outa the tiger and a sniper you can't see kills ya

haven't flown the planes yet, are there any in the demo?

those in the game, can you use two controlers (stick/peds) to fly them?
Title: The FIghting Johnsons are on for tomorrow night!
Post by: Wanker on May 09, 2003, 02:36:20 PM: Eagler, you don't want to fly the planes, the controls are ludicrous compared to a real flight sim. You can only use a mouse and keyboard to fly with.

Needless, to say, I stick to just the ground vehicles and foot soldiering.

You're right, it is a lot like Doom. It's wild, chaotic, mindless fun. Something you can jump right into and jump right out of no matter how much time you have to play. At this point in my life, being busy with my job and my family, a game like BF1942 fills the bill nicely.

Eagler_Johnson.....has a nice ring to it, don't you think? ;)

Post by: Wanker on May 09, 2003, 02:41:32 PM: You mean, you *can* use a joystick in BF1942? LOL, I didn't even think to look. I just went by what someone else told me.
I sit corrected.

Post by: SOB on May 09, 2003, 02:42:43 PM: Yeah, you can. But by some programming miracle, it sucks even worse than with the mouse! :D

Hehe, I felt the same way you did when I first got the game, Jimbear. But you don't really go into the gamepsy GUI at all, it just uses gamespy to find the games and list them within BF1942. If you want to meet us on RW, we'll walk you through it.

I'll be posting the RW IP address at about 8:50 Eastern tonight.

Post by: Curval on May 09, 2003, 02:52:35 PM: game spy.

We don't have enough to run a dedicated.

Join us JimBear..(and Eagler, and SOB)

If Swoop shows up I vote we put him in command. He's the only one who knows what he's doing....the rest of us are like Bishlemmings. ;)

Post by: SOB on May 09, 2003, 02:53:32 PM: I think so banana...I have to go buy the game today. I was previously playing on a pirated copy, but I think I've gotten enough use out of that one that it's well worth buying. :)

Where do y'all play at? It's my birthday tomorrow, so I'm may or may not be doing something tonight...I'm pretty sure my friends have b-day stuff planned for tomorrow tho', so I think I'm game for tonight!

Post by: Wanker on May 09, 2003, 03:19:35 PM: Well, get it installed, and grab the Road to Rome expansion pack while yer at it.

You'll also want to get the 1.31 patch for the game before you try to play it online.
Title: The FIghting Johnsons are on for tomorrow night!
Post by: SOB on May 09, 2003, 03:55:59 PM: Do I need the Road to Rome expansion to play where you guys are playing?

Nope, but someday we might want to play on a server where we can play the French. Ok, maybe not! :D
