KB Geek Night (AUCKLAND)

[R6_kid]

Who would be keen on some BF1942/Vietnam multiplayer sometime? I'm thinking either we all go to the same netcafe, or perhaps we could set up a server and have a weekly event? I would play BF2 but it means i have to go into town as the CD keys at the place i currently go to are all fucked.

Just looking for an indication, current prefered location is TOPGUN@NET in wairau park due to parking, and the possibility of me being able to book up to 20 decent spec comps.

Suggestions of place/time are welcome.

If someone is able to score us a dedicated host then perhaps we could do an Auckland vs Wellington, or North vs South.... or maybe just a free for all join a team and have a play.

Talk...

[jtzzr]

What the who are you talking about ,Fuck I`m old ,and where`s my abacus?

[R6_kid]

online gaming... rather than playing the computer, lots of people join a server and play each other, adds to the realism and gameplay.

The line of games i am referring too involve re-enacting if you will, battles of WW2, Vietnam, and in the case of BF2, modern war.

Each strategic point on a map has a flag, and the goal is to capture all the available flags (eg hold the strategic points) and to do so you shoot your enemy etc and defend your ground.

The good thing about these games is that you dont just run around shooting, you can also drive tanks, APC's, landing boats, fixed gunner positions, aircraft, ships etc... and many of the vehicles have multiple control points so for instance you could drive a tank and have a friend in the gunner seat, or a plane and have a tail gunner, etc etc... its all comes down to being really good fun.

[oldguy]

I don't have BF2 but have BF1945, would be keen or even Counter Strike just against other Kbers, I have a lot of games on my computer, but I don,t think my com has enough grunt for BF2.

[breakaway]

I've got fullspeed upload with interleaving off, and might be able to host 3x3 CSS tourneys on a box that I have lying around :p

Or just some Zombie CS Source Link (http://zombiehorde.com/index2.htm)

Join the Army, they have some good realistic games, and get this you get paid to play them.

[avgas]

Im just a noob, too easy a frag kill to play

[Karma]

How much? Wirau park would be easy as, but I'm such a noob I won't bother if it's like $50 or something. Can we drink beer at the same time?

[xwhatsit]

Cool! Topgun would suit. Not that I live anywhere near Wairau Park, but going over the Harbour Bridge is always fun.

[R6_kid]

Its $10 for two hours, $2 bond on their little card thing that you give back at the end and get your $2 back... may be able to arrange a group discount.

Dont worry about skills... i will give you some tips if you show up.

Their net connection is good so will probably host a game from their and post IP address on here.

BF1942 is best, for the reason that oldguy stated. I dont mind playing CS either, but i like the variety of BF1942 more.

Doc- I can crash planes, and get killed in this game, then wait 5secs and do it again... i dont care if they army pays me - i wont be getting back up again after being shot in the head by my mate in real life!

its not a licenced premises, but keep them out of sight on the way in and you should be fine.

[KLOWN]

I'm keen, I used to play counter strike and bf1942 a couple of years ago. Used to play them 24hrs straight love that shit.

[Craig11]

I'll be keen for css....

I would be keen if you did BF1942. DC is a great version as well.

[xwhatsit]

BF1942 is still the best, imho. My favourite mod was Forgotten Hope...

DC is fun as well. But standard BF1942 rocks for the air combat.

[Kittyhawk]

Sounds kewl....does this mean I'll turn into a geek slowly??

Let me know when/where etc...I played quake once...does that count :shutup: oh and the classic arcade games!! :Punk:

[Whynot]

this man knows what he's talking about :rockon:

i would keen for this if i wasn't in the wrong country :mellow:

[R6_kid]

Awesome stuff, how about we line it up for Tuesdays, starting the 24th April (next week) at Topgun@Net, i will post server details on here for those interested in joining in from other locations? Perhaps someone could arrange a meetup in Wellywood and maybe CHCH too if people are keen down those ways.

Topgun has CS 1.5 and CS Source loaded and working so thats not a problem if there is the desire to change from BF1942. I will have a couple of mates along to help boost numbers, one is on KB but doesnt post.

I guess we will have to use screen names as game names to keep things simple.

For those that dont know where topgun is, go to link drive in wairau park, go to the end of link drive and you will come up to a roundabout with BK on the left, turn left and go past the entrance to BK, the second entrance is the carpark where Topgun is.

[Squiggles]

haha, a battlefield night...

what username do you play under?

I'd be interested, i play under 9th.Squiggles

[Kendog]

I have always been kendog in BF, but have not played much latley and then only on Xtra DC.

[Brett]

I would be keen. Would prefer CSS as I haven't played battlefield yet...but would be keen to give it a shot too.

[xwhatsit]

I would be keen. Would prefer CSS as I haven't played battlefield yet...but would be keen to give it a shot too.

BF's slower, more tactical, less `twitchy reactions'. But there's much more variety, which is cool. And if you get really bored, you can go and play with jeeps (running over people is a laugh), or chuck explosives into a transport and hide while waiting for somebody to hop in...

[pyrocam]

pffft bf1942, cs, etc
qw ftw

[R6_kid]

all good guys. I play under many different names, but usually only play on LAN against mates. Played on NZ servers as bojangles_nz once or twice.

Brett, you should enjoy BF1942, vietnam is better because it has helo's aswell which are damn good fun. But CSS is available there too.

[R6_kid]

assuming everyone is keen the first night will be THIS Tuesday, from 8pm onwards at Topgun, i will post IP details in this thread for those wanting to play from home or a different location... please play under your KB name.

[The Pastor]

im in with a grin :)

[Kendog]

Can't make this Tuesday as I will be out, but keen for any following Tuesday.

[xwhatsit]

Can't make it :( Can't ride for a while. Would join from home, but my laptop isn't exactly going to cut it :innocent:

[R6_kid]

if you can get to a netcafe closer to your place then do that xerxes, can meet up with the rest of us when you are able to ride.

[xwhatsit]

Yep -- Mangere Bridge is crowded with internet cafes. All the young illiterate school kids are mad keen on writing emails and reading wikipedia.

Nah, nothing really within hobbling range haha. Next time, then -- I feel my geekiness slipping away, PWN by PWN.

[The Pastor]

bro what time is it on?

[Indiana_Jones]

who's in?

-Indy

[oldguy]

So are we on for tonight, will play from home, usually play on Xtra DC, under the name my_flying_sux, haven't been on in a while so will be a bit rusty.

[KLOWN]

well i'm in and i think a mate will be coming too

[KLOWN]

bro what time is it on?

says on page 2, 8pm onwards

[Indiana_Jones]

what's the lastest version of BF? I'm downloading the 1.5 patch atm.

-Indy

[R6_kid]

I will be there just after 8pm, not sure what version BF1942 they are running, but it seems to run fine on the webservers. For those of you going to Topgun just hang outside til i show up or something otherwise if you get computers your time will run out early... best we all time out about the same time!

I will hope to have the server name/ip/password up here by 8.15 if not 8.30 at the latest.

[The Pastor]

sounds mean as :D

[The Pastor]

Plz try and bring some head phones as they don't always have a full set (those G units keep braking em)

[Indiana_Jones]

R6 says the IP adress is 60.234.55.231

-Indy

[Kendog]

That was pretty good fun.

Cheers guys.

[oldguy]

Cheers R6_kid, for setting this up, and those who went along or joined in from other places, that was fun,

[KLOWN]

good game, good game, good game *shakes everyones hand*

fun night. if you other guys stayed you would have seen indy doing wheelies and stoppies on his cbr when we left, and i did a mean rolling burnout. all good fun ay!

[Indiana_Jones]

So, we having another one?

-Indy

[Kendog]

Can the next one be DC?

[R6_kid]

yeh mate, DC Final? im not sure what other versions they have but there are two other ones there too. Personally i prefer Battlefield Vietnam.

[oldguy]

Battlefield Vietnam, is that a stand alone game, or is it an expansion pack for BF1942

[Indiana_Jones]

I think it's stand alone, but yea, i would'nt mind DC.

-Indy

[Kendog]

Yep, I meant DC final.

Most people seem to have it as well.

[Indiana_Jones]

I don't have DC, where can I get it?

I can only see places where you need to sign up (i.e. fileplanet etc)

-Indy

[Colapop]

Washington?

[Indiana_Jones]

You should join in Col :D lol

oh yea, found somewhere to get it, downloading now.

http://battlefield2.filefront.com/file/Desert_Combat_Final_Client_Download;31620#Download

If anyone needs it

-Indy

[R6_kid]

Battlefield Vietnam is standalone version of the game. The guns are better (AK47, CAR15 etc) and the damage per hit is closer to real life (i would assume) i remember shooting a guy that was standing still 5 times in the chest last week and he ended up taking me out with 1 shot from a pistol... i was using the engineer at the time, the gun is the sniper minus the scope, range was probaby 20-40m so its not like i didnt have the crosshairs on him!

Also vietnam has helicopters and lots of 'thick' bush maps so its a bit more exciting. Then there is the fact that the vehicles have music in them if you choose to have it on... nothing like flying a Huey-Gunship around at low-level with the flight of the valkyries playing... the guys on the ground can hear it as you fly-by too!

[bull]

do you need retail versions of these games to join in?

[breakaway]

do you need retail versions of these games to join in?

Yes

I don't have Vietnam but I do have DC 0.7 and DC Final

Also, how about some BF2? Awesome team based play. With VoIP and everything.

[bull]

i second BF2 - ive actually got that legally. Can prolly get hold of BF Vietnam.

[oldguy]

-Indy

Yes, yes it does :D The only thing wrong with it is that all the in-game characters look like they're puppets on strings. But the tactical side of it... very cool :rockon:

[Indiana_Jones]

Yea, the characters do seem like they have funny movements / joints, but love the 1 hit, your dead style of game play, and how you can steal and use heaps of stuff.

-Indy

[Toaster]

Hmmm.... I'd like to come along to the 'big geek' night, but I never qualified to be a geek (couldn't even turn the damn computer on first time I saw one).... I am only half way there.... big.

[Toaster]

Have fun lads!

[Indiana_Jones]

Well we might have fun, just donno if anything is gonna happen.

need someone to make a server, but fat chance with broadband in NZ lol

-Indy

[R6_kid]

i will be there at 8pm for those that are keen. You dont have to be a 'geek' to come play i just called it that as that is the general stereotype given to the people that play these kinda games (that makes boomer a geek).

Will have a go at DC final mod, then maybe Vietnam for the last hour or so.

IP details will be posted in here as per usual.

[Indiana_Jones]

We can't seem to host a net game, sorry guys.

See if we have better luck next week
