Coming from ArmA II - Page 2

Aussieguy, as far as the number of australians who play the game goes, there's an entire server that is hosted in Australia, called "Big D". Very good server with lots of teamplay. And dtacs.

BigD is an Australian server btw, and has a good reputation, so that shouldn't be a problem

Do they have good pub games? I've heard a few server pub games is where everyone goes lone wolf, and I hate that.

Well, due to the obvious ping issues, I don't play on there, but they are said to have good public gameplay. You'll rarely really see everyone go lone wolf in any PR server though, don't worry.

Also, Is there many Australian squads (clans) or servers?

Short answer, if you can, get a copy of battlefield from a friend download it and decide for yourself after an afternoon of gaming if it is for you. Its the only way anyway

He's got BF2

He'll not download .91 because of limited internet.

So ya. One thing: Since you'll download .95 and try that out, be aware that the first week or two after the release will be full of newbies - because we all are newbies at a new release, and actual newbies tend to join around that time. If you are experiencing immaturity and bad gameplay overall around that time, you might want to try again a couple of weeks later, after all the "wow new toys!" has worn off a bit

Thankyou Spec, again. This sounds like a really fun mod, I can't wait to play!

Protip: Download the patches for BF2 and PR from an internet cafe then copy them onto an external harddrive, then to your computer. Or you WILL cap out. The files run to >9000GB, it's a hardcore case of QQ.

If you're with Telstra or Internode you might be alright; they've run previous releases on their internal networks though.

AussieGuy · 10-12-2010, 04:43 AM

Wait, what? The files run to 9GB!?!? But...in total the torrents were around 3 gigs?!?!?

[R-DEV]AfterDune · 10-12-2010, 04:47 AM

The files are ~3GB in total. Perhaps he's referring to the fact you're uploading as well, if you're using torrents. People have posted direct downloads (and official links to direct downloads will be released on release-day), so nothing to worry about.
