Yeah, I've already covered this, I want to hold a US leg, especially if peoplehave ping issues.
We have a fair number of US and Canadian members who can play competitively on our servers though so not expecting a huge percentage of people having problems.
Medic forums are down, SQL error.

Better not have to reinstall, I've already posted one of my tactics...

EDIT: NVM, back up

Yeah, when I get a spare 1/2 hour to write it up.

Actually, if anyone could trawl this thread for info I have confirmed which isn't on the main event page & PM it to me it would save me a load of time (free me up to get more sorted). Should be worth a few karma, that.

Yeah, that's generally true. The ping number isn't the whole story though since you can get decent response on one server with ~140 but have it bit too laggy for what we do at 60-90.

I actually play every now and then on one or two Canadian servers, for whatever reason they're actually not that bad compared to the average US server in terms of response. I was in an American server with Nyte once and although the reported ping was only 114-118 it was terribly laggy, much too bad for effective combat sniping.

How do you get the medic vs. sniper mod to work? I run the program, and it all works fine until I click on SINGLEPLAYER and then click on KARKAND and click on  START SINGLEPLAYER. only then does it always CTD.

You usually get that error if you have installed the mod to a different directory other than the default AND did not change your shortcut properties.

The mod install program instructs you to update your shortcut properties (2nd to last screen of the install program)

OK, I think we can sort out using our Multiplay server. We know the pings and stability of our unranked server is fine cos that's where we play our matches but if confidence is greater on a Multiplay one then that's fine.
The server listed will remain for the test of the mod but that one will close on the day of the match.

So...  anyway... More news.

https://images.esporten.dk/global/newsicons/read/bftv_bf2.gif

I've just given an interview with the guys at BFgeeks.com who have agreed to show the event on BFTV.
You can read the interview here.

So that's right, those of you who can't play don't have to miss out on any of the action, you can tune in and watch it live as it happens right there on your PC screen.

How cool is that?

Someone mentioned using stock weapons. I think it is unfair for the medics lol. the M24 rocks.
And if the MEC is one of the sides then the snipers would have no choice but to use the SVD, which some of us think is a piece of crap.
A lone SVD sniper can hold the Karkand east alley very easily, if not for the ungodly range of thrown grenades.

A lone SVD against a wave of medics all reviving each other? Maybe if this wasn't earth.

Off topic, but actually I did a few times last night, especially with all of them going prone, aka, easy headshots.  Sad that a bunch of medics were nade spamming me instead of using their guns.  But my trusty medic teammate kept me alive.

As for the match, would be cool to join once a US server is setup.  I'm not a great sniper, but can hold my own.

Not unless helping organise this is a bad thing, which clearly it is in some eyes.
