maybe we should start a whole new thread for FC2 complaints, there will certanly be plenty!

now that PB isn't preventing me from joining games my main complaint is still PB!!!!!

it simply doesn't do it's job
played this morning with 2 guys from the "V&B" clan. they were killing people with hand guns and SMGs from distances that I could hardly get a kill shot with the Dragunov, they would take a whole mag (clean hits) then turn around, pull out the machete and kill me.
I got killed by one of them, respawned on the other side of the map and almost immediately got killed by him again. checked the stats to see if he had died and respawned but he hadn't and the map is way to big to make it across that fast.
at the end of the match one of them had 20 kills/ 3 deaths, the other was about the same.

OK i wont gripe... here lol

finally got the hosting figured out and was able to have 10 players on my comp! cant say how anyones experience was, but mine was good... finishing top 3 in 30 kill rounds Smile

hosting is way better than public lobbies which i no longer wanna see Evil or Very Mad

I am tired of driving an hour to work. Anyone want to buy a fixer upper in Balch Springs, Texas? Laughing

Joined: 28 Aug 2008 Posts: 335 Location: Chicago

is it a '67 Mustang with a 351 Windsor fixer-upper?

if you sell it how will you get to work?

actually I'd really like a '64 AC Cobra fixer-upper ! ! !
replica is fine since an original is about $2million but an original is ok too Smile

I think we should all start lucrative home based businesses that leave us plenty of free time to play games and drive nice cars!

Well, i was talking about mi casa, Laughing

. I aint sellin my little 02 V6 Stang. In a few years, i am going to get the 09 GT anniversary in Blue with white or red stripes. Beutiful Car! Sometimes my boss drives his 67 Mach up to work. Another guy i work with is restoring a 60 something GTO. I feel so inadequate. :)

my high school autoshop teacher had a '67 Mustang and a '68 Hemi RoadRunner. a few of us wear allowed to help work on them and occasionally drive them. really just pulling them into a bay or back to the parking lot but you just had to break the tires loose, just had to. and then get yelled at Cool

that's what started my love of old cars. although I never really had one myself, the closest was a '74 Firebird Formula with a stroked 383 but the engine only made it half muscle car the other half was still POS. also had a '84 350 Camaro SS but that was mullet era not muscle car.

never really cared for the Mach1s but did like the Mach2s.

there's a nice late 60s Mustang in the neighborhood with 3 inch stainless exhaust, not sure what engine. every time I see it or hear it it makes me want one

Got a 1970 Cutlass convertible I've had since I was 16yrs. old. It's in need of restoration but it's got lots of potential. We rebuilt the engine a few years ago with essentially W-31 specs. Maybe I should get a Proformance 455 in the future just for the heck of it... Cool

It has black interior with a Hurst dual gate shifter. Below is a 442 thats the same color as mine so imagine no stripes and cutlass emblems instead of 442 markers. Thats what my car is gonna look like again one day.

I've had quite a few cars in my time. miss a few of them, not others

the firebird had a Hurst In-line shifter too
don't have much experience with big blocks but I loved that 383

wow, there is some major hacking in FC2 today.

all using the AS50 making 2 or 3 kills with 1 shot.
I came up behind one guy named Yee17 (or something like that) as he was aiming at someone else, he fired and killed the guy he was aiming at and me. also saw him facing more than 90 degrees away from someone when they fired at him, he didn't even bother turning to face them just fired the other way and killed them.
there were 3 of them on the same team and they were killing people as fast as they could pull the trigger, no time for acquiring a target and aiming.
one 25 point TDM game lasted less than a minute.

must be some new radar hack working with an aimbot to kill who ever is closet to them.

sounds like something you would see in combat arms lol

speaking of old games that are hacked ti pieces... im reinstalling bf2. I guess theres a new patch (a month now..) that includes the expansion packs. Steam has it package deal for 20 something, so im thinking it might be fun to roam the giant maps again if theres a recent influx of noobs Razz

plus the recent intrest ina series with the bad company release coming soon

i was playing FC2 a few minutes ago and realized there were Bing billboards all over the UBI maps.

I bought a retail game, I don't want to see advertisements in it.

I'd completely expect to see it in Combat Arms or some other free game but I don't like it in a game I paid for.
