love the game, specially because I am able to play at work and websense does not appear to block it.

Great game. I saw this thread and decided to try it again. I tried it when it was first released and didn't like it for some reason.

I downloaded it last night and played as a medic for 4-5 hours. I had a great time just supporting the "front line" folks by keeping them alive. I also gained rank pretty fast from doing that!?! Anyway... I had a blast. Thanks for making this thread. :)

Good on good servers, bad on bad ones.

A good server will likely have disabled complaints for the noobs who walk on your mines, they added this in the 1.02 patch. Decent servers usually put a limit on heavy weapons aswell, so you only get so many panzerwhores or support fire spammage. still get a few moaners about airstrikes tbh, but its always newbies who havent put together that the sound of a plane flying overhead = leg it, or that the huge smoke marker also acts as a warning to stay away. In better servers so get kills from support fire you have to be very sneaky with it, its main use is for area control and breaking up attacks/dug in defenses. Same with the panzerfaust, some noobs do seem to think its quake and go around 1v1 with the thing but better PF players use it to break open a bottleneck defence or put down a mass rush.

It does need more computer than RTCW though, more cpu videocard and bandwidth, and its a somewhat slower game by design. Most of the interest for the future will come from feature mods, ETPro is looking to be pretty good, same game but just adds more features for good games.

Since I got the game about a month ago, the only day I didn't play it for 2 hours or more was when our power was blown by Isabel. :)
Honestly I never had big problems with either panzerfraust or airstrikes. It's just part of the game. Only spawn killilng is real despicable. :D

I thought it was fun.
But I went back to BF 1942 after playing ET a couple of times.

I play. It's great, seriously. Tactical choices/twitch/teamwork aplenty.

I'm Behemoth Jones ingame.

As far as the master server being down goes, as many have said there are 3rd party browsers such as all seeing eye. Might start paying for that one...

Anyone know of a free one instead of just free for a trial period?

Couldn't agree more. I've been on some excellent servers where the players are great and I've been on some servers where I wanted to strangle people. The worst are when you a get a team full of panzer/airstrike whores. Take five steps and you're dead.
also some n00bs seem to think it's CTF and complain after they were blown to pieces by your mines. :frown:
lol

Yeah, EXP whores get irritating. Usually just a single server switch fixes that though.
