Cheers dude and feck u took alot of photos!!

Unfortunately they have blocked uploading, so I cant actually upload anymore images to the gallery..... Will have to post when I get back home on monday evening.

We now have an i34 Gallery online and I'll be posting pics to it over the next few days as and when I get some new stuff. Have kicked off with some shots of the main hall here - already 1300 people doing the early arrival thing!! Its damn hot too!

This is way too funny! Seems that Blow Jobs have been added as a sport the 2008 Beijing Olympics.... The french are funny. Check it out here: NSFW!! http://www.totallycrap.com/videos/videos_blow_job_olympics/

Ok noobs, seeing as myself and Sherriff are the only ones attending in a proper fashion - who's going to actually take time out and come and visit us to see exactly what a LAN and the exhibition side is all about? So far we have the following peeps who've said they will come: JJUK - Sunday. Benny - Friday & Saturday. Loyalty - Sautrday. Ash - Sunday. So who else is gonna come make a visit and let me buy them a drink?

Neither - I dont want people interupting me while I play. I use IRC, idle in it 24/7 - if anyone wants me, they can come join our IRC channel on quakenet - #tugteam - and talk to me or leave a message. All products like xfire & gsc do is allow their creating companies to collect marketing data/playing habits/etc from the users. That info is worth a hell of alot to game developers to know what people like & dont like and worth alot to advertisers too! Anyone who tells you different is a liar!

Yep - BF2 tonight please!! Map - Tampa Highway - download from Gamershell: http://www.gamershell.com/download_19883.shtml

ok peeps - lets make tonight a BF2 night please.... Me & Benny will be on playing (hooray for the BF2 Complete dl from EA @ 24.99) - only 3.5GB & took about 30 mins! I'll modify the server settings later today and change the rounds to 1.

Kubra Dam 16 Available Assets: Tanks & Jeeps

Highway Tampa 16 Available Assets: Tanks & Jeeps Image Coming Soon!

Gulf Of Oman 16 Available Assets: Tanks - Jeeps

FuShe Pass 16 Available Assets: Tanks - Jeeps

Dragon Valley 16 Available Assets: Tanks - Jeeps - Attack Heli's

Daqing Oilfields 16 Available Assets: Tanks - Jeeps - Attack Heli's

Dalian Plant 16 Available Assets: Tanks - Jeeps

Here's a list of stock BF2 Maps & their overlays for the 16 player maps. I'll also go through and list what's available on each. Stock Map List (with 1.41 Patch + Highway Tampa): 01. Dalian Plant 02. Daqing Oilfields 03. Dragon Valley 04. Fushe Pass 05. Gulf Of Oman 06. Highway Tampa 07. Kubra Dam 08. Mashtuur City 09. Operation Clean Sweep 10. Road To Jalalabad 11. Sharqi Peninsula 12. Songua Stalemate 13. Strike At Karkand 14. Wake Island 2007 15. Zatar Wetlands

I agree - 1 round on each map is more than enough at 25mins per round (unless the flags are capped quickly). I'll be posting all the map overlays later tonight and a list of what vehicles are available on each. Right now, some of the maps in my mind are: Wake Island 2007 (32 - Attack Choppers/Planes/Tanks/Humvees) Mashtuur City (32 - Troop Choppers/Tanks/Humvees) Strike At Karkand - No Planes or Choppers/Tanks/Humvees)

Just found this nice little tool that will remove the intro movies from BF2, so you can get straight into the action rather than sit through it all. Link: BF2 Intro Fix

OK guys, lets use this thread to talk about the map rotations & set-ups on the BF2 server. I know alot of us old school GR players prefer the CQB & Squad based aspects of gaming, so it might be relevant to keep the map sizes to the 16 slots - although on some maps this will remove the planes & choppers, which may be an issue as some like to fly. It's been a while since we played BF2 and I'm rusty on what works with the set-ups & what doesnt - we do however have the BF2CC tool available to admin the server! So things we need to sort out are: 1. Do we keep ranked at 20 slots or reduce it to 16? (20 slots requires 6 players to start a round) 2. What map rotation? 3. What ticket/time settings?
