Sorry for your loss, but you're your own boss.

My PC also decided to break a few hours before the release. And I'm first almost up and running again now. Just reinstalled BF2 and I am now almost at the patches.

My first impressions weren't the best due to technical issues either.

I CTD'd twice, got kicked by PB 3 times and then the server crashed :roll:

My graphic card burnt, ATM I can't play PR and it has been like this for last month. Ive been waiting for 0.9 really eagerly since there isnt anything sim-like coming out anytime soon and now I can't play it, damnit. Upside is that most likely I'm going to get a fresh 250 instead of the old 8800 because of shops insurance rules.

On the other hand, considering all these technical issues it may be better this way. I dont have to struggle thought ridicolous fps drops and shit and when I get new card it'll be fixed. :)

I know the pain, had to take a mandatory break last October when my memory (and later discovered it was also the Motherboard) decided to make the PC crash at least once every 10 minutes whenever the graphics needed were more advanced than Minesweeper (thank god for DF).

Only got a fully functioning PC a few weeks ago and got back to the most addictive online shooter i've ever played, with the exception of a few CTD's.

I uninstalled PR... Have to pay more attention to my studies and ECs if I want to get in West Point... I was already a great student, but I have to be even better now. And PR held me a bit. Not anymore.

Enjoy PR.9 guys.

Did this few times too, usually before the exams ( same goes for Mount&Blade and WoW, my two other major sins ). PR is just too tempting to have it on your drive when you have to spend your time studying. :)

haha yeah... my last round I was SL... the whole round was a joke (starting with my squad losing a Land Rover (it was Al Basrah) to another guy that stole it.. XD after that we had logistics problems... Later, we were on the opposite side of the map (next to the pipelines, shooting a lot of people and getting shot too!). We reported a possible cache, which was real at the consturction site.

By then I was having loads of fun. Some people were leaving my squad and it got filled up again because of what was happening to us... it was all-in-all pretty fun. We later got all the way to the S side of the map (by the highway) and defended the FOB, tried some attacks on the city, didn't work pretty well, we tried a land rover offensive = 1 land rover and 3 people dead.

I was probably remembered the worst SL those people have ever had... but looking back we did one of the most useful stuff in the team. Spotting a cache, building 1 FOB, attacking other caches... Getting lots of intel...

And well, the unexpected part was... we only built 1 FOB. Just one. There were a total of 3 or 4 FOBs in the whole round. My FOB got destroyed 10 minutes after we left for an offensive (total = 15 minutes survival). The other 2 FOBs (one nearer the city and one in the highway) survived MUCH more (almost the whole round..) and much more people spawned in it (my FOB, which was W of the city, got I think 2 squads spawned in). Now, as I was saying, the unexpected part was that we got Best Squad (in points, of course XD). I got 3rd place overall (losing for the 2 APC crewman). 2 of my squad members, which were the only ones that stayed the whole round got 4th and 5th best place. Not a bad joke round, seriously. Looking back, it was a great PR round. (I wasn't planning on uninstalling it, I decided later).

Though I could see a lot of interesting rounds with someone being a prisioner and my squad volunteering for the rescue... I like doing that kind of stuff, instead of just cache-hunting or Flag Capturing...

I was also thinking of a good way to rescue someone under arrest at Korengal Valley... Supposing the Taliban request a Logistics Truck for them at the H6/H5(?) compound (which is surrounded by walls, with a climb below, and hills to the North and to the West).
While someone would be driving it uphill through the long route, the rest of my squad would be moving up from the S side, and stacking up on the wall. When my other squad member gave me the notice that the logi truck had been delivered, my riflemen specialist would throw the rope and blow the door. And we would clear the place of Talibans (because my squad member would let me know via radio how many talibans were there and possible grenade traps and IEDs, and the prisioner would be unarmed, and not have a radio).

It would be fun!

I've been away from home the last few days, so I'm still downloading the second half of the installer. Odly enough I am getting 80-100kbs, which is a big deal for me during the day. (My ISP likes to cap larger downloads at like 50 kbs.) Hopefully my computer wont die, and my internet won't fail even more. 4 hours to go...

Try torrent download with BitComet. Resulted in a 4x faster download for me. You can download as a torrent at the Download Sectiion. Just remember to download BitComet (or any torrect downloader) before getting the torrent file...

BitComet (I recommend)
