Nice pic Eagle.

Here is another email I received many years ago. It is a story about a restaurant manager, and how he dealt with a life threatening experience. The words speak for themselves....

aaaa, Its for pojechaliscie. Mother has communicated to me about wyjezdzie. Only, I did not know why. I thought so, it must be some (certain) match. Who has won btw?

I found an old email someone sent me a long time ago, so I thought I would share it with you. The words speak for themselves...

Nice info Hojoski, but I saw a poll where you said you were not going to buy it. So, how did you go from "not going to but it" to "pre-order"? LOL P.S. See you on the server enxt Thursday.

Bet! I will get yours before you get mine.

Who will be playing BF2142 on the Armory server on the 18th?

You lucky Klink. I called about 5 stores in the local area, and they were all out of the flash drives.

Very nice Klink, but I have one question for you. You and K_town gave the Demo the lowest score of "4", so do you still stand by this score after learning the deep dark secrets of the game?

Its not a rumor ...they have officially stated they are working on the system and disconnects will happen.

I don't mind the ramming, but what sucks is that the rammer gets points for the kill(s). Thats right, he hits a transport full of 7 players and he will get 7 points. I notice this was a real problem on the Demo, and I only hope DICE is aware of this and fixes it before the retail release.

Congrats KyWalker.

Updated post with map names. Looking at the maps on the BF2142 site, it looks like most of them are city maps for the most part.

The Armory server will be up and running on Wednesday the 18th, and we are already planning the Armory server setup. The map cycle is very important, so we need to make a few decisions here. We will be able to run both Titan and Conquest modes on "some maps", so I was thinking we should run all maps and modes for the first day, so we can find out what maps are good and what maps are stinkers. Conquest Mode Maps Sidi Power Plant Tunis Harbor Shuhia Taiba Suez Canal Camp Gibraltar Cerbre Landing Belgrade Verdun Minsk Fall of Berlin Titan Mode Maps Sidi Power Plant Shuhia Taiba Suez Canal Minsk Verdun Your thoughts?

Its a known problem with the Demo ...read here

Earlier today they were more than 13,000 playing at one time.

If you want to see how many folks are playing BF2142 Demo, you can see here (at bottom of page)

This is from the Official BF website: Please be aware of the following: In an effort to reduce download times the Battlefield 2142 Demo does not contain a DirectX installer. Be advised that in order to play this demo players must have DirectX9 installed and should ensure that the d3dx9_29.dll is present in your C:\WINDOWS\system32. We are aware that some players are experiencing disconnects while playing the Demo. Please know we are running checks and making enhancements to our support systems so that these disconnects can be solved as quickly as possible. Links DirectX9 can be downloaded here

Well, for the demo, I gave it an "8". I played the Beta and gave it a "5", so the final product might beat all of our expectations. You won't know the full impact of the game until a few things happen... - The full retail version is released - You play on the many city maps - Get Awards and Ranks - Get Unlocks and new toys - Play on "The Armory" server where we know we will have good performance :thumbsup: - Stab Klink and get his dog tags as many times as humanly possible. I think everyone in the clan should own a pair his Dog Tags So, lets wait and see what happens. We should have a new vote after everyone gets at least 10 hours of play under their belt.

Oh my :thumbsup:

I really like the Beta, and now the Demo. In the Beta, however, we were allowed to "rank-up", and it was nice having the unlocks to play with. It will add a new level when the game is released and we get serious :thumbsup: about playing it. It adds a new dimension to Battlefield, and I look forward to seeing the new maps. Looks like they had a city map or two in the lineup, so I look forward to playing them. The Titan mode seems like it will be the most fun, so we will have to vote as a group to see how run our server. I foresee playing the city maps in the "Conqest" mode, and play the larger open maps ion the "Titan" mode. The in-game buddy system allows us to join our friends without using XFire, because it has the same function. ...very cool! The vehicles are fun, although I get motion sickness in the Walkers, so don't expect to see me riding very often in them. White-Nine found a setting that stops the player movement (swag), so now I can walk without getting sea sick.. We have our own server, so we can play what game we want, and what mode we want. Lets see how it goes, and we can discuss many options. The dog tags after a knife kill are great.

MacGyver initially posted this, so here it is... Easiest way would be to go to microsoft.com and download the latest DirextX drivers. :thumbsup:

Thanks Sharp65 and WhiteNine for posting this. People also need to make sure their connection is set to "Cable" and not "T1" :thumbsup:

Thanks White-Nine ...this helped me a whole bunch. :thumbsup:

J.C.Moncur had the same problem and did what you did here Mac, and it worked like a champ.
