Rather than me mucking around with our main servers and cocking up the configs, I've procured (my own money) another server to use as a test box. It'll be hosting l4d/l4d2 (usually l4d2) and will be featuring any code that I'm testing. It is currently running as 20 slots for coop or versus l4d1 or 2

The IP: 83.142.49.9:8008

The connect command:

mm_dedicated_force_servers 83.142.49.9:8008


All clan members should have the usual admin and password details for hlsw can be found in the usual place in the members area.

thx.

we see m to have a load of servers again =D

u really do spoil us munkeh!

anyways how hard is it to change one of our servers to a temp bf2 server? ^^ or is that completely out of the question?

if your going on bf2, let me know - as long as its infantry only

I still need to get patch 1.5 but can't download it untill 30th

i still got bf2, dont get the chance to play much lately. let me know when you wanna play K. vehicles or infantry only

can people plz stop saying phrases like "vehicles" or "infantry only" XD i've never played a bf game ever and have no idea of the terminology =D

vehicles = vehicles
infantry only = no vehicles


well'ard

yeah but ??? why infantry only? the maps are huge and you move like slugs

that and i'll wager the whole point of the game is to learn to use the vehicles to provide support?

or are the vehicles making the game unbalanced?

we used to run a 32 man infrantry only map on karkand - the only map people who played io ever really played

with vehicles, its a completly different style game when you play with them, which most of us never liked.

when playing io, you can run further without running out of breath as quick as you would if you were playing with vehicles

also apart from those cowardly swine that crept around to rear flags, typically most of the fighting on infantry was between two flags - meaning only a short distance to travel.

The vehicles servers have a lot of issues - since you can get around from flag to flag quickly, it led to flag hopping.. instead of decent fights you'd be chasing round people capturing rear flags.

if youve got a vehicle to hand then great, if not your stuck on a large map with no decent transport. You certainly can't rely on the pubbies to actually come pick you up from anywhere. Vehicles also led to chopper whoring - where people had got very good at the attack choppers slaughtering people on the ground, with weakened AA they were very difficult to stop.

Infantry servers also helped prevent teh nubtards TK'ing for vehicles. The only remedy for this is to be admin on the server as kick votes require more than half the people on the server to vote and most people either don't vote or have opted out from all voting

The upside was unlike L4D the servers were great to setup

vehicles = very short lives. poor teamplay (unless when played with a clan). whining bitches. flag chasing.

infantry= better battles (although sometimes it can get bogged down and boring eg sniper battles at train wreck for all the bf guys). better teamplay.
however it does have negatives such as nadespam and claywhores and id say generally more haxxors
