::VTRX:: vs. 5th

Hell, even dropping 2-3 people can have a dramatic impact on the game. Imagine being on titan assault and half your squad drops? Or for that matter, what if the one support or recon drops? Maybe the squad has redundancy, but maybe they're relying more on medic revives in order to have more firepower (4, 1, 1).

Huge issue, in my opinion.

If starts getting ruff, we can always try and reschedule. Hopefully it won't come to that.

**hadji** · 05-08-08, 02:09 AM

Yeah. Would suck to do after such a long wait.

**DJ Ms. White** · 05-08-08, 07:55 AM

Maybe the sheer awesomeness of the match will force EA to actually give a damn more often.

**Alundil** · 05-08-08, 08:23 AM

Agreed - I think we (for sure) and the rest of the community might be spoiling to see this happen. Would hate to have to reschedule but we'll see. Hope the master server plays nice that night.

If the master server is still being a 2-bit ho and going down on people on Friday, then I think that's a pretty good indication that the Saturday match could be fubar'd by random disconnects.

Let's play it by ear and keep moving forward. We'll make a decision if and when people start dropping during the match.

Raven I agree (not that I count) but the disconnects are driving me crazy. There is no indication that the server will be smooth on Saturday, infact it's almost a garrantee we will be dropping. I kept thinking it was me until I saw all the discusion about everyone else having the same issue. I was ready to go buy a new Falcon Northwest Mach V with bragging rights lol. I will compete on Saturday and do my best regardless.

Somebody needs to post a walkthrough here on how to get onto the practice server for the match. I know it's elsewhere, but here would be good.

also final verification of maps is now required

Final map - Tampa Titan?

32 size map. 16 on 16?

They usually post an IP shortly before it's due to begin and you use the connect via IP option in BF2142.

The other variable is if the match server is even ready to go. Last I heard they were still trying to get the 1.4 patch installed. Without that, we can't even connect. Anyone have an update on that?

If it's like any of the other matches, they'll bring the server up with a password, and we connect to it via IP and provide the password when prompted. This prevents people who aren't explicitly invovled in the match from joining and taking up slots.
