Discussion for this event.

Hello hello everybody!

So, I have been speaking with panpanTom, one of the admins of the BLiTZ clan (who's server I was randomly on) and they wouldn't say no to a friendly. And according to this, post would we. So, the provisional date is Thursday 23rd November, 8pm start (though their server will be online from 7pm).

We will be playing 2 titan maps (one chosen by us, one by them), 2 rounds on each. It'll be the first to 3 wins, though, if one team win 3-0, they said we can always play the last round for a laugh. 4 rounds in total also means we can have a draw, and as it's a friendly, I personally think this is a good thing. Play will be on their server, and we will aim for a 12v12 (8 people said they were interested, and I'm sure we can get a few more), though if we have more or less, they said that's fine.

Other then that, there are the normal rules, especially no glitching or exploiting. They wanted to make this clear and so do I. Also, due to lovely EA code, if a sides Titan shields fail, that Titan must stop moving. If the other Titan still has shields, it can still move. This is due to the fact that servers sometimes crash if non-shielded Titans move.

Also, unlocks are on for this match, at the moment. If anyone has a problem with this, it can be discussed.

I have the IP and password for their server, so everyone, please sign up :)



Finally, a note to the Admins. I have put this post in the clan forum as, although not everyone who is playing is in the clan, I would like some privacy as to the discuss before the game, so BLiTZ can't see it. If this is a problem, please do as you please! :)


Edit - Also, please discuss which map we want to play!!! We need to let BLiTZ know soonish. Thanks!
Edit 2 - No time limit, my bad :D

Well, exactly. But I've seen 16 player Titan servers... Might just be a bit longer (so might omit the 20 min limit), we shall see!

Ill need to make sure i can get a net connection before I can play, Im not totally sure if Ill be able to at the moment. Put me down as a 'maybe' or something, Id love to play though. Id agree with bob on Minsk as a map.

Now, that's one thing we have to talk about. I'm rubbish as commander. So who wants to be it? :D They get to choose the squads based on who has what unlocks! :D

And which map do we want? Only had the suggestions of Shuhia Taiba or Minsk from bob at the moment.

Oh, as far as unlocks go:

Assualt: Everything except the guns
Recon: Everything except the guns

Those are in order of class preference too :).

I go for the guns using the field unlocks ;).

Hmm, no idea who could command, but I bet you wouldn't get Bambi near it with anything short of donkeys in trees!

The more the merrier, kirbstar! It's a friendly, making some bonds with another clan, and having a laugh. So be there :P

Still need maps people, otherwise we will be going with bob's suggestion if no one else comes up with any ideas.

Also, we need a commander. I don't care who, as long as you are happy playing commander and can do a semi-good job at it (unlike me, who sucks!). Anyone want to give it a go? Anyone?

Few questions:

You said the server will be online from 7, is that for practice and suchlikes and if so does that mean we can unlock some field upgrades and stuff?
Are we gonna do any practice beforehand to sort out squads etc or is this a totally stab in the dark kinda thing?

My unlocks:
Support - up to Ganz HMG
Medic - up to Baur H-AR and defib
Recon - up to Lambert Carbine and amp
Up to the fast stamina recovery and up to the recon drone.

Not too fussed about my kit, I'm prob best as support but will happily go for medic or recon :D

Good question about the field upgrades, will ask panpanTom. Usually, for BF2 it's just to check that the teams are ok, and no one has any serious issues. Then we go around TKing each other!

And I would like to get some practise in, yes. Best thing I can think is to go to a public server, and try and take over one side. Then just whop the pubbies! :D

Will get back to you on those questions!

Right, well, panpanTom has said that he will speak to his clan about the whole field unlocks before the match actually starts thingy, and we need to do the same. So, do people want to try and get the 9 unlocks before the game, or not? Is it fair, or not? Hmm? We may have to do it by making sure NO ONE makes any squads in the warm up, to make sure no one gets them.

Still, discuss!

To be honest I think getting field upgrades before the match is about as fair as letting people have whatever unlocks they have already, i.e. if you earn it you can have it. If we're not gonna create squads to begin with does it not defy the point of having a practice bit? Anyway, if we're not gonna have field upgrades we could just dc from the server and rejoin.
Also, I'm not fussed about maps, I don't know which maps are which (except minsk and suez canal), besides, I'm not really any better at one than any other.

Well, the problem is what if they join the server an hour before the match, and unlock everything they can, and we show up 5 minutes before? Or what if we are waiting for someone, as they are having problems connecting, and so can't get any unlocks before the game. The warm-up is really to ensure that people have no problems (like high pings) with the server, and just to get used to the map a bit - it's not a practise match before the match (especially seeing as this is really just a practise match in it's self, being a friendly).

panpanTom and I have talked a bit more, and have semi-decided that we will have the server up an hour before the game, and we will just agree not to kill members of the other team, or capture any silos. That way, there is no way to get the unlocks.

panpanTom is also going to have a bit of a play with the server to see what can be done.

Is this ok with everyone?

My possibilities of net connection are looking bleak. I had the wire trailing across the floor all saturday, which was lucky, but I doubt Ill be allowed that again. I discussed with my parents that the best way to do it would be to drill a hole in my floor/living room ceiling and then put the cable in that way which would be a shorter length and more out of the way. However, my dad won't do it unless I push him, and I can only push a little before he blows his top and calls me impatient and all that. I'd do it myself, but my dad probably wouldn't let me loose with the drill.

After running the data and given variables through the computer, it's come up with a 12.469% chance of success.

If I do manage to make the match, my unlocks are as follows-

Engineer - Everything on the Pilum HV-R path, up to motion mines on the AA path (haven't played for ages :() I'm quite a decent engineer, if I do say so myself.
