This is sad news. I liked Frenchy. When I would suddenly explode in the middle of Aberdeen nowhere, I knew it was Frenchy or Bat.
Sepp, How did you find out Frenchy had passed? I know you wanted to find him since he'd been missing for a long time and then he appeared for a short while and then disappeared again.BTW I will be 75 in February..... HBD Maj
As you said he went missing, in the brief period after that when I did see him he told me he had cancer. Knowing his age and condition it's not something you come back from. I have waited a decent time to announce this in case of miracles.
The last time I saw Frenchy was 6 months ago. He stopped attending Aberdeen regularly leading up to then. He talked of cancer. He was a veteran player, and was in his mid 70s. BF1942 has lost one of or perhaps it's oldest player. I would like to pay tribute to him. Frenchy loved Aberdeen. He wasn't the best in a tank and was more often found as infantry defending a flag. This he did with dogged determination. He was good at laying traps and sneaking up on an enemy tank in a fearless way. At the age he was, he is an inspiration to carry on playing BF1942. Frenchy, I salute you! You were a true warrior.
The service exists it's called ChatGBT and it will write you an A+ grade essay quicker than your lecturer can say "You cheated!".
Untill you've specced one of them glitch a tank inside the bunker at South flag on Aberdeen. Just one in their bag of tricks.
Before Team Simple's servers there was only one dedicated server that ran a permanent Aberdeen. It's name was Arcor Arena. Those who were with BF1942 since the game was released in 2002 and liked Aberdeen were served well by a Punkbuster supported manufacturer server for Aberdeen called EA 10. About 10 years after BF1942 had been released EA stopped Punkbuster support. That's when Arcor Arena started. It was a good server as I'm sure Cicero_01 and Bat would confirm should they read this: But it was ruined by the appearance of simon and deeko. Not only did they cause havoc and cheat in every conceivable way, when sanctioned by any Admin, they'd respond by causing the Arcor Arena server to crash with their hacking skills. They caused the server to close and die. I have been playing BF1942 since 2002. By my reckoning and simon and deeko's Team Simple account dates they've only been around on the game at earliest 2012. And what do ya know? That coincides with EA ceasing Punkbuster support for BF1942. They came to this game because it could be cheated. Because when sanctioned in any way for their doings, they had the ability to bring the server down. It's my firm conviction that the only reason they are tolerated by most (not all) Admins (and even the server owner) is because the deal with the Devil has been done and as Admins are powerless against them, they let them ply their trade in return for a little (advise and teaching of tricks), which serves to prove that not only can cheats prosper - they do. Protect and survive? More like accept and take a dive.
PS: I know they can't be stopped from doing as they will. But I stopped playing them. It's the surefire way to Beat A Cheat. I wish there was a rule to your Team Simple account that forced you to play with your handle the same as your Team Simple account so everyone knows who you are. Simon and deeko are always incognito...for some reason.
Hello Sepp! Say you miss me without saying you miss me
You're not lying, you're just wrong. I fired up the game first in 2004. Played here and there, a lot in desert combat servers. In 2010 I was asked to join the -=Unity=- clan by their leader Armin van Buuren. I guess they saw potential. Those were some funny guys, shared a trick or two with me.
Tanking became a thing for me in Pro Tankers only server where I pwned everyone with a chi-ha and pissed off Artih, the owner of the server. Ahh, the innocent times
There never were any innocent times for you in BF1942 because from the day you arrived you've cheated. I wonder what the price was for Admins to not kick you seeing as you and your cheating brother never have to serve a ban due to your "skillz".
The poll was revealing. It showed most were in favor of 2 and 1 points for a flag cap not 3. I don't take flags because I want all my points to come from kills so I hardly ever win a medal. If I am in a tank near an enemy flag I will kill whatever is there and then wait guarding it for a team mate to arrive and take it. I move on as soon as possible. It's no good saying only flags win the round when you have to kill what's between them and at them. if you drive from a friendly flag to an enemy flag and turn it friendly with not so much of a squeak of trouble on the way you are on you heading for a gold medal. I would like to add, if possible, make the city the only flag on Aberdeen worth 3 points?
That's what happens when mods and tweaks are added to the server that make the gameplay unpleasant. They hold a personal grudge against more skilled players.
This has been brought up by many for a long time now
You're not and never were a skilled player but you've been a skilled cheat since you and brother deeko first showed up. I'm sure all of your fans love you for sharing the tricks of your malign trade and spreading the disease.
Deeko and simon have been cheating for about 10 years since they first showed up on BF1942. Before Team Simple there was Arcor Arena, the only dedicated Aberdeen map server. Cicero_01 was a player there (not Admin) and Bat. This is where the estonian hackers first came out from under their rock. They wrecked that server in all sorts of ways leading to its demise. But don't trust what I say. I could be lying.
Some while ago the Aberdeen points allocation was switched from 3 points for a flag to 1 point the same as for a kill. This did not last. Perhaps 2 points for a flag and 1 for a kill would meet equity for players who chase flags like Mario Kart and the ones who operate as hunter-killers. Otherwise you can end up with the top player winning it for his team with 50 flag points 25 kills and 50 deaths. Which only proves he can take flags which 50% of the time are undefended. Win or lose. That's no way to win a medal.
DM25 was coached on cheating by a former Admin called FC Barcelona on Team Simple Aberdeen (that wasn't his ony AKA). After that someone sponsored hiim to be an Admin. Then he got a long holiday called a ban which he will say was a voluntary vacation. And FC Barcelona? He's never been heard of since.
It's over Johnny. When crazy maniac Sepp doesn't even show up, it's over.
I've tried the Masterpatch and all Simple servers show up now. Trying to update server list used to result in a screen freeze for me. Not now. I just left everything to luck and hoped the server problem would reslove itself. After weeks of waiting I investigated here and by hook or crook found the solution provided by other members.
Simon and Deeko's reputations were built on cheating from the start. Any player who can remember before Team Simple knows what a pair of scumbags they were and how they fucked up, wrecked, and took servers down if they got punished. They have their fans. And I suspect the Brothers have shared the tricks of their trade with them. Thus the cheats prosper.
I managed to get it working by changing the screen resolution and aspect ratio of screen in my PC's graphics settings. Changing them in game did nothing. I've rolled back as many other changes I made with compatibility as well. What's odd is I never changed any of my PC's graphics options for the problem to develop. I'm still not exactly sure how I arrived at the conclusion but for want of anything else to try as I'd been through every option. Thank you for your help and suggestions.
You began this game as a cheat and nothing has changed.
I tried setting Blackscreen.exe to run as Admin but it did nothing. I tried checking Direct Play in programs and features but it was already checked. Also tried running in compatabiity with Windows XP service pack 3. When I got my PC back from being fixed I ran BF1942 and there was no blackscreen. I then went about changing the game settings to my prefered ones, including the screen resolution. It was after these changes that the game loaded up with a black border. The black border is there at user interface screen. If I try and enter a server the whole screen blackcsreens and CTRL-Alt-Delete doesn't get me out of it by showing Task Manager so I can quit the game .exe. I have to force power down my PC which isn't good for it.
Bios fault with software that was fixed with another drive and Windows 10 instal. Windows 7 on my old drive. I did a fresh game instal after the back screen border and blackscreening when entering server. The game was working to begin with, until I started messing with the game settings and screen resolution. Tried putting every setting back and still the same black border and blackscreen.
Ah yes, @Cicero_01, Arcor Arena. Before Team Simple. Remember that's when simon and deeko first showed up? Remember what they did to the server? I know you have a bit of a selective memory so I'll just give a very brief synopsis that you can either agree with or dispute: Arcor Arena was a great server until simon and deeko ruined it with their cheating. As well as other shit like cooperating to team kill. The pair of them wrecked that server with the antics they got up to. Maybe the whole rest of the world is wrong? Why do they never play under their forum names? Oh it's probably nothing suspicoius. Nothing to see here move on. What's behind the mask? Don't want to know doesn't matter.
No one wants to play either of you because you've been cheats since the day you first showed up. Remember before Team Simple there was Arcor Arena. You two totally fu**ed that server up with your cheating and cooperating to team kill and antics. You think you are big potatos but really you are small beans without your cheats.
Hi, just recently had my PC fixed and now when I load BF1942 I get a black border around the interface, when I attempt to enter server I get blackscreen. It means I can't play because during the blackscreen the only way of exiting is to force power down my PC, which no PC likes having done to it.
Sepp wrote:I don't even know who banned me or for how long, just that hinkebein makes a rare appearance on a server he hardly plays yet can make a third party complaint against me and I end up banned. I guess it's not what you know but who you know. hinkebein, you think only you should have a Tiger and you insult other players for wanting a fair turn. How about you have a Tiger 1vs1 against me and the loser takes a life time ban. Chickenshit.
WTF that sounds VERY VERY low to me.... wtf is going on there guys?
Sorry sepp im watching the impeachment of president trump.. kinda busy here TAKE CARE MAN
I know how he feels. I'm not as rich as him. But I'm just as determined.
The screen shot in case you haven't even looked at it shows a Wespe sitting just outside Axis base, with a full 30 round magazine, and a message on screen "Awaiting 1 more player before game starts". I'm not sure how anyone could cheat under those circumstances. The screen shot does not show the position my Wespe was in during the actual game, from which I can clearly see the City I was accused of cheating to hit.
The player (if it was you ABAS) who accused me of pixelling was on my Axis team, not Allied. At that point I was where I had been all the game. Further along the ridge from Axis base. I am not going to take a screen shot of it because everyone reading this knows exactly where on the Aberdeen map I am talking about. Maybe you should play more Aberdeen instead of Omaha which you know so much about. But don't go equating guessing/estimating with cheating. Otherwise players in Artillery like the Wespe must not be allowed to adjust between shots on an enemy tank that may be moving instead of sitting there obligingly.
ABAS: I did state the place I put my Wespe in able to see the City. And that is as already described as further along the ridge. The screen shot you have provided as any evidence shows a Wespe parked at Axis base with a full 30 rounds of magazine and a message on the screen saying "Awaiting 1 more player before game start". I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to cheat like that. Someone did park another Wespe right next door to mine further along the ridge and attempt to shell the same parts of city as me. Was that you? If it was you aren't very good with the Wespe and I'd expect a different screen shot. You talk about splash damage forcing you to abandon your tank at rear of city, then moving forward to front of city to see where my Wespe was parked and could barely see it. I can see as far as you can but my Wespe shoots further than you or me can see. And it's not my fault one of the bonus of the Wespe is splash damage
ABBAS. The screen shot you show is not the position my Wespe was in during the game where I was banned because you accused me of pixelling. Further along the ridge is where I was. The screen shot shows the Wespe in a base defense position. The city can clearly be seen from further along the ridge. I plot shots on positions I can't see in the city by using the last visible shot and adjusting either elevation or the position of the Wespe slightly to maintain zero when I find the sweet spot. It's guesswork sometimes. Other times I hold fire when a bunch of enemy has died and time my shell with their respawn. Speculative shots to the whole city area when my team calls enemy positions in the city area are what artillery is for. Laying down suppressive fire when I can see my team being killed in that area on the mini map is another reason I shell the city. Sometimes I kill a "big shot" and get lucky. That's what they don't like. Then I get accused of not being a good tanker. Well I am a Wespe man but if any of you think I can't drive a tank it's something I do occasionally just to prove a point.
ABBAS. I can't see my shells land from that position. I can only adjust the elevation of my shot blind from the position my last visible shell lands. It's called guessing. There is no cheating. There is only artillery laying down suppressive fire on city area when I know it's under attack.
The Report Abuse and Ban Appeals may as well be merged into a single topic seeing as there is no difference between the Admins and players in terms of complaints. How about "Proven cheating until found innocent".
Admin e.S has banned me based on an unproven accusation of cheating made by a player who is a known and proven (on these forums) cheat. I am being held to a different standard than most players accused of cheating.
That's precisely my point. I have been banned based on a single accusation from a known and proven (on this forum there are plenty of screenshots and videos of Deeko) cheat, by an Admin who has no proof of the accusation.
Have you ever banned anyone because they were accused of cheating Cicero? I have never seen it if you did. I have seen you demand proof before you act. Right now I am banned because I was accused of cheating by Deeko. No warnings. No Admin speccing my game to see if there is anything going on. First accusation immediate ban. How about that? Do you think I am a cheat? How often have you ever seen me get called a cheat, compared to other players who suffer no consequences at all? Be honest with your answer please, and address the points I have made.
