Source: Desert Conflict Thats right... What's 155,000 pounds fully loaded and flies at 400 mph max? Oh, you all know what I'm talking about! After some tweaking and testing we've managed to get her almost finished. Some minor tweaks remain such as armor and what not, but for the most part she's all wrapped up.. Thats right folks.. The denizen of the sky. The bane of every person on the ground.. THE AC-130!!! Oh yeah, imagine strapping into the 77.5 tons of fun flying around and wreaking havoc on a map once again. She is still WIP a few things missing on these shots that were being adjusted but all her bugs were squashed. Read more...

Welcome to the forums and servers, Davi.

Source: Planet Battlefield Normal Conquest 'Control Point' apply. Each team must have a commander, if team does not have a commander within 60 seconds of the round start, that team forfeits the round. Teams must attack Control Points to initiate or cease ticket bleed; however, they must also protect their team's commander. If a team's commander dies (not killed, he can still be revived and continue), that team looses the round. Points for defending your commander from enemy attackers will reward you with a score bonus. Killing the enemy commander will reward you with a score bonus. Team killing your team's commander will subtract points from your score. Scoring radius for defending Commander is 5 meters. Scoring: Defending your team's Commander: +2 points, Killing enemy Commander: +10 points, Team killing your team's Commander: -15 points Read article.

Source: Point of Existence As many know, Melugo and KMKZ have been working hard to implement a stat tracking system. Our system is not tied to rewards but rather just a way for players to track their stats and see how they are doing globally against other PoE players. You can go check your stats now as most servers are now set up running the tracking program. Read more...

Source: Planet Half Life Bit-Tech has an interesting article about an upcoming major upgrade to the Source engine. The Source engine was developed with modularity in mind so that new technologies can be implemented rather easily. The next big upgrade will take advantage of multi-core processors, a rather new advancement in personal computing. The article goes into detail about practical applications other than performance gains. There are a few videos and slides from a presentation given by Valve that really show off the potential of this upgrade, such as interactive particle systems. Become informed about the powerhouse behind the Half-Life 2 games, read through all six pages of the article! Expect the multi-threading update to the Source engine to come out before Half-Life 2: Episode Two, which is scheduled to be released at the beginning of next year. Link.

I highly doubt those 4 stat padding players are from EA. Sounds like a scare tactic to me.

The Ganz HMG kicks rear. It's more of a defensive weapon. If I do a lot of defending, that's the gun I use.

That's really funny. :thumbsup:

Awesome update, Gator. Thanks for your hard work.

Happy Birthday, little one. LOL!!!

I agree.

Will JC make the rank of Supreme Commander?

Source: Desert Conflict Happy Halloween all! Hope you all have a great Halloween. Please remember to walk where people can see you if your going trick-or-treating and carry flashlights. Always remember to check your candy before you eat it.. Some people are just sickos in this world. If your heading out to parties, please drink responsibly. Don't drive drunk. We'd like to keep talking to all of you for years to come and most of all we hope to kill you ourselves for years to come. So let me first thank you all for having a look at this. My first Journal entry for DCON. Let me give you a bit of a run down on how this came about. Sinister from the PR Dept and Azrael thought it would be a great idea for me to start a running journal of sorts to help show you the fans the progress of things. Now I must add that this probably wont be very graphical in nature. Everynow and then I may show you some pictures of stuff. For instance today I have some pictures to show to help illustrate some of the snags we've discovered while working on stuff. But back to how this came about and why I feel its a good thing.

I am seeing a lot of PB kicks for duplicate/invalid CD keys. This could be the solution.

Source: Planet Battlefield A post in the EA forums has some interesting information about the "Emergency Maintenance Window" that EA has scheduled every Thursday morning. What are the maintenance times for Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2 Modern Combat, and Battlefield 2142? Why can't I connect or properly access Battlefield services during these times? The Battlefield franchise has many moving parts, and at times needs to be re-synched, updated, or restarted to make sure that errors and issues with the service are avoided or repaired. Electronic Arts reserves the times listed below to perform maintenance on Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2 Modern Combat, and Battlefield 2142. Standard Maintenance Window Tuesday: 12 a.m. - 3 a.m. Pacific Time 1 a.m. - 4 a.m. Mountain Time 2 a.m. - 5 a.m. Central Time 3 a.m. - 6 a.m. Eastern Time Emergency Maintenance Window Thursday: 12 a.m. - 3 a.m. Pacific Time 1 a.m. - 4 a.m. Mountain Time 2 a.m. - 5 a.m. Central Time 3 a.m. - 6 a.m. Eastern Time Although the maintenance windows are not necessarily used every week, if you cannot connect or have issues with authentication, statistics, buddy lists, servers, etc. during these times, it is likely due to some form of maintenance and you should try again after the maintenance period is over.

I did not want to see that, W9. :thumbsup: And Happy Halloween everyone.

True, I never got -10 score and -0.60 SPM. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the tip.

Source: EA Forums Game Community Server Crashes THIS IS AN ISSUE DICE LIVE TEAM. GAME SERVER CRASHES. After extensive searching through multiple forums I have determined that every single game server hosting BF2142 at this current time has an issue with crashing at random times throughout each day. The issue causing these crashes are speculation at this point and point towards multiple possibilities. One being BF2142cc and another being a theory that BF2142 release is based on the BF2 1.3 patched engine which as most of us remember was riddled with lots of server crashes. Multiple server provider forums also suggest seeing stats on server crashes consistant with BF2 1.3 Patch crashes when logs are reviewed and error reports compared. While there are many issues with BF2142 at this time such as the EA Master Server not being up to snuff to handle all login requests or keep stats accurate, to the current issue with community stat access being shut down. Not to mention the numerous gameplay issues and bugs discovered and documented in random threads all over the place. What I urge is for DICE Live Team to concentrate a large bulk of their skills on stopping the server crashes that happen consistantly to every BF2142 server currently in operation. This is NOT an isolated event. This is NOT some faulty hardware or driver issue. This is happening to ALL (based upon my findings) BF2142 servers. I also know without any speculation that multiple server hosting companies including Wolfservers, Trinity Games and others have opened up problem tickets with your official server support teams. I know that these tickets are well documented and include quite a bit of data demonstrating exactly what is going on the server during crashes. The Gaming Community, when it's able to even log into the game in the first place, can not enjoy or play the game they are purchased simply because the game servers can't stay up for any extended period of time. This drops all players from the server and it is rarely that the server is occupied to game start status without significant community support in attempting to populate their various servers. THIS IS AN ISSUE DICE LIVE TEAM. GAME SERVER CRASHES. (This post will be posted in multiple forms to insure that someone within the DICE LIVE TEAM will see this and grasp the necessary importance of this issue. We expect to see a community update detailing this issue and insuring us the community that DICE LIVE TEAM is aware of this problem and is working on it.)

Congratulations, Bravo.

I played Quake 2 (Weapons Factory mod) back in the day but I wasn't known as Shadow Wolf then.
