i.e. FF=ON (even though everything else is "vanilla") will list the server in the browser as HC (thereby defeating the purpose of standing up a "vanilla" server.

Yes, yet another genius piece of coding, but I still stand by my view that FF off and kill cam suck.

Nice to see a reg server back up again, but wow it has come at a time of difficult gaming choices. Dragon Age 2 just released and with Homefront coming out next week (Still holding out hope on this one... Voip, admin controls, 32 player online.... Please...Please let this be good.) anyway long post short, there will be quite a few distractions for the first few weeks the new server will be up and running. Hopefully it can weather the storm.

I played 2-3 maps tonight once PB decided to cooperate and had a blast, but wish FF could be on. I understand why it is not, but by the same token being able to spam a building that has friendlies in it just because you know you might get a kill is kinda lame.

Yeah. There was a PB update...

I'll try to hop later... I really prefer HC but I can play regular mode a little. Now that we have two servers up I really hope everyones gonna do their part to keep them both primed - let's keep the momentum going and build some more!

Yeah, FF off took me by surprize. Thats something i might not get used to, i found myself holding back throwing nades into an M-com because there were freindlies approaching from the other side. That move cost us the detonation.

I typically become extremely grateful for no-FF settings during periods of about half a second, usually accompanied by an epic fail on my part.

Although every now and then it's hardly your fault when it happens. I recall lining up a perfect sniper shot in BF2 once, and the exact moment I fired the SL dove in front of my face.

That happens a lot....in BC2, 2142, just about every other game that I can think of that I snipe in and is FF=ON. Nothing like pulling the trigger just as someone flashes by the end of the rifle
