Back in my day people used Xfire....

[Portable.Cougar]

.... For toggle crouch or auto walk.

[RedWater]

For auto FOB-digging

[X-Alt]

For auto FOB-digging

Whenever somebody went afk, auto fob dig and rush the next flag.

Damn you guys make this game sound terrible now. Is it even still worth playing?

This is a nostalgia thread, in other words quite possibly the single worst place you could ask that question

[Expendable Grunt]

I think it is still worth playing (and has some major improvements from when I was playing most regularly). But, I think the community's quality has gone down - not in terms of skill or even co-operation (for the most part), but in the kind of cac-handed bigotry that goes down in a lot of sessions.

I never expect PR to be one of those "safe space" things, but maybe "gaskikes" shouldn't be an approved squad name, at least.

There was a lil Server called Tactics & Teamwork.

1024x768.

Cantina music.

Friendly familiar faces in the squad that just went like clockwork.

Good times... Goooood times

Back in MY day, we got JDAMs, and they sucked, and we liked it that way.

actually they were removed because they were overpowered in certain scenarios from what I remember. They were **** for hitting mountains and buildings if they hit the roof, but they would basically flatten entire compounds and kill the cache in Kokan, or completely destroy north/south village on Kashan.

AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY

Back in my day, I was in charge of [DM]

Because I just found it:

Haha man, there is so much back in the day stuff in there I don't even know where to start.

JDAM? Mumble Overlay? GDC Stream? Ghostwolf?

[Expendable Grunt]

I don't remember MEC having a rail on their G3's - must have been while I was away.

Back in my day, we had molotovs and ziplines

[Wicca]

Molotovs where the shit on Fallujah.

And the way they bugged out APCs!

[Cpt.Future]

Back in my day, we had no fancy missiles

[Mouthpiece]

Because I just found it:

I really miss them. Artillery just doesn't seem to have the necessary punch. It would be nice if we had a smaller blast radius JDAMs.
