My goal is to do the most I can with the tools and resources I have to make your experience the best possible. That I can promise.

It's certainly appreciated, thank you.

Both myself and quite a few people I regularily play with have noted this, even when the squad leader changes.

What can I say? I'm crushed. You'll find me next to the recycling plant, next to broken bottles, broken memories and broken dreams.

Yes, I have come across this numerous times with friends from various parts of the World so it's not one particular server playing up in my opinion, just the way custom works (or doesnt work lol).

Also, I find it hard to believe that Conquest wasn't intended in the first place being that Conquest is the STAPLE game mode of Battlefield.

I will take your word for it, but if someone truely thought to have battlefield without conquest, I am kinda shocked.

Agree completely, it is strange, judging from PC BF's & our classic BF2:MC that Conquest didn't come at launch as it still feels like GR is restrictive alot of the time, Oasis for example is very, very predictable, where as, even Backstab (one of the most played maps on BF2) was so expansive that it never really got tiresome or routine.

Would it be possible to extend the distance of mortar strikes ? At least another 100 yds. would be good.

Oizu · 25-10-2008, 02:55 PM

Ok speaking to gordon here, you say its not technically feasible, ubt why isnt it, surely for your next map pack, you can whack up a poll with 5 maps from BF2:MC and then build them, it cant be that much of a challenge, you managed to make at least 8 (ive never actually counted) top quiality levels for this game why cant you build in 2 or 3 more from a previous game, taking the layout but building from scratch like you would have had to with all the maps youve made here

Symonator · 25-10-2008, 04:35 PM

No, because we have never had an office in SWITZERLAND. I work at the office located on the far side of the moon....errrr... I mean Sweden.

I agree, fix the friend invite. Still not able to get a friend to join my squad. I can get in the same game by joining session, but get the error when trying to join from an invite.
