Post here to join the AO Battlefield 2 Clan!!!

[devildog]

I decided to start a Battlefield 2 clan. It will be mostly for fun, but if we are pretty good and everyone decides to participate in clan wars and such, we can do that too. post in here if you want in, pm me, and catch me on msn messenger. once we get a few people, ill appoint some people to certain possitions, we'll hold a meeting by chatroom, and go from there. let me know who wants in.

You can go to this link to see some stats for our people, it will be updated later: http://thecavemankevin.blogspot.com/...clan-info.html

If you dont have it yet, download teamspeak here: www.goteamspeak.com click on download teamspeak client link on the right. download it and install it. here is the server info:

Teamspeak server: 64.205.24.111
Teamspeak password: ao

our BF2 dedicated server ip is: 64.205.24.111
there probably wont be anybody on it unless we set something up, we usually get a squad going on ranked servers


Here is the list of members so far:

Would we have a server?

[devildog]

well, i was gonna say if we get enough people, but im gonna rent a server anyway, so yes, we have our own server.

[slateman]

Hmmm . . . . whats the committment required here? I wouldn't mind a few BF 2 games, but I really don't have the time to be practicing like hardcore clans. Would be kinda cool though

[devildog]

alright, here is the deal.

first-

this will not be a hardcore clan, this will just be us getting together to have fun and play as an ao team, come and go as you like. i will not require anyone to play x amount of hours to stay in.

second-

i did some research, and servers are 8 bones per person a month. so if we want a 32 person server, its gonna cost 256 a month. that leaves us with 2 options.


1. everyone pays dues, which really sucks
2. i can try to set up a server on an extra machine, but i think a bunch of people wont run
very well on my dsl connection

catch me on msn messenger at [email protected]
or aim me at gainman00 if you wanna chat more about it

[Steelrat]

I'm in, but I'm not down for renting a server. Lets just buddy list or whatever each other, and just randomly join up to beat up on poor unsuspecting players.

[devildog]

cool man, have aim or msn?

[slateman]

Yea Steel's idea sounds the best. I'd be up for that. Just have a weekly day/night? Or maybe more than once a week?

im in on that

Hey I might be in for this also ... but I need to check and make sure the game will run well on my system.

Athalon XP 2900+
1 gig PC3200 Ram
ATi Radeon 9000 Pro Video (128 meg)

Yeah I am working on the video card at the moment ... put do you think my CPU and ram will handle the game okay? Its been along time since I really got into playing games and this one has sparked my interest.

**EDIT**

I am looking at the following video card;

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1179550&Sku=P450-8536

I have to keep my money spent to ~$100.00 at the moment due to other expenses.

Honestly, the card isn't that much of an upgrade.

What I would do, if I were in your shoes, is save my money for another year or year and a half and buy a whole new rig with a PCI-E motherboard.

And I'm not completely sure that that card is supported.

If you want to be cheap, run with what you have. I have 512 ram and the same card, and it runs smooth, albeit at low resolution.

[lopxtc]

Saving up the money isnt the issue I have more important things to buy first namely a house, so I limit my money spent on my computer and car at the moment.

I'll have to check their system specs on line and then check out the sales in the area on video cards.

Ill stick to R6:3 till then ... but this game does look hot so I am wanting to get into playing more with a group.

Aaron

[devildog]

see the list so far in the first post

once we get a couple more people, im thinking 10, ill hold a clan meeting via chatroom and we can discuss how we want to run the clan, how serious we want it, and how we will find time to play with each other.

lopxtc- i have an extra geforce fx 5950 ultra you can use for now, let me know if that will help

Again, I am using a p4 2.55 with a 128 meg radeon 9000 and 512 megs ram, and it runs fine. Don't wait.

Also, and this is having owned 4 houses so far, save LOTS of money for a house. Once you get it, you'd be surprised how much OTHER crap you need to buy.
