I can usually get on between 8 and 9 est and try to log off at 11 est at the latest on the week nights. On the weekend it is a toss up, sometimes during the day and sometimes at night. CrispyMonogoose I have a couple friends at work that play too. They go by the names of: HossDawg and iceglade Maybe we will even get enough to form our own squad.

Played last night on a Quebecois' server. Played two round, and managed to score 10 points. So, I'm 10/40 right now on the recruit rank. Managed to get a kill/death ratio of 0.25. I guess for a first time ingame, I didn't do too badly. Also, I saw some people with some better gear than I had. Like stuff like stealth thingy that allowed them to capture stuff stealted. Didn't feel too n00b. Both game I played, I was in EU and both we won.

I'm thinking about picking up 2142 too. I was really excited for it a while back but was playing a ton of CSS and kinda burned myself out on FPS's. After reading y'alls posts I'm leaning toward picking it up - gonna download the demo to check it out first tho. Think y'all are gonna be playing for a while? Are you all running the expansion too?

Yeah, it's fun, but I'm just shooting stuff and trying to survive. Not much strategy in that. Sniping is fun. Killed two peeps in a row while sniping. hehe. Can you like play on a "private" server with let say 5 other people and some bots and still get ranking points? How does it work?

I have the expansion, and plan to be playing a while I don't get a chance to play everyday so I'm still pretty far from being burned out. Plus I have still have 3 kits I want to unlock and have fun with! (I've mainly been playing Assault/Medic kit) I haven't looked into that, but I don't think you would get ranking points for it. If you want to practice flying and such, you can start your only Local game. I've done that before to practice gunship flying.

There's still NPC shooting me when I go singleplay. Is there a way to be all alone?

Do they have the shock paddles in 2142? In BF2 you used the paddles to revive fallen teammates... but it was more fun to use em to kill enemies! ;D

No, enemies, more so bot ones in single play tend to love to kill me with knives. Mind you, I still don't know how to quickly swap weapons other than using the scrollwheel. And I'm usually dead before I switch.

yes, you need to go to Local and start your own server game. I'm at work so can't walk through the menus exactly, but you don't choose Single Play, you choose Local...then one of the tabs on that screen lets you host your own game.

hell yeah! It's an unlock for the Assault kit. Most of the time I play Assault as a medic type, so use 'em all the time!! And yes, you can kill bad guys with them too That's way more embarassing for them then the knife I am sure. Finish off with a nice teabag and move on.

C'mon now Mac, you know the only reason you bought the game was the possibility certainty that you would get teabagged by Aruth.
