Yes, Karwsz is right,
and the spawnpoint in Gazala's abandoned airfield is no good idea in my opinion.
Most of the traffic would go straight there and the rest of the map stayed "abandoned".
Gazala is a perfect map, just reduce the number of planes....

Image BBCode test

Once a team has all flags the other team gets "baselocked" most times,
planes can easily pick off every vehicle which is leaving main base.
Furthermore poor admins cannot play anymore cause of so many !wbase.

I would love to see Gazala back in the map rotation, just the way it was. Only with less planes.
Those who designed the map certainly had in mind that players should decide if they either form a tank column
or try to travel to the abandoned airfield to get some extra planes to turn the tide.

Most likely this won't help, i'm just a simple gardener and only know of flowers, soil and shrubbery,
but i'd like to post it anyway.
In many cases i was able to solve a problem by adjusting the inner diameter of the garden hose.

Deeko has a clever way of playing, no arguement on that.
But despite his ping or the distance to target there's no need to lead the aim, nor do the bullets scatter. Impressive.

Just played on Kharkov and Market Garden. Looks like the damage done by infantry weapons has been increased.
That's a good thing. It always felt silly to shoot 2 or 3 rifle bullets in someone's torso and still see the guy running around...
Kill fast, die quickly, maybe this will result in a more prudent and thoughtful way of playing.

#159 Re: Feedback » SiMPLE is dying quickly now » 2023-05-18 01:59:47

The Midway Axis crash appears every once in a while, half of the Japanese team getting disconnected.
Isn't there any clever guy who can fix this?
What makes me sad - after the crash almost none of the players of the American team cannot be arsed to switch to even the teams again.
The result: even more Axis players disconnect...

Wake being played as CTF is a pretty good idea. Interesting and challenging game, really.
Unfortunately, very few players were willing to give it a chance.
Come on guys, give it a go! It is definately worth it.

Hello Pristan,
this is the way i was told to make the game running on Win10 and play it online:

1. installing Bf42 v1.0 from an old disc.
2. game is being patched: battlefield_1942_patch_v1.6.19
3. Punkbuster42
4. battlefield_1942_gamespy_patch_v1.61
5. overwriting the 6 files from bf1942-v1.61-retail-patched
6. finally BF1942_-_master.bf1942.org_-_Patch.2

Step 2 is most likely not necessary as your CD contains already version 1.6.
Step 3 and 4 probably are useless, don't know for sure.
Step 5 is to make the game running on Win10, as far as i know. You can find this patch here:
https://team-simple.org/download/
Pick the "retail" (=CD) version of the patch.
Step 6 is necessary, as Paul Baumer wrote, for your game to find the online servers.

Cheers

Balance system? You mean the next player to die will automatically switched to the team with less players?
I would prefer to do a chat message, like "teams please", "teams please".
If nobody responds it means you're playing with bots and zombies anyway.
From my point of view no calamity detected on this screenshot.

I was not aware that an announcement from one of the SiMPLE leaders that would affect the entire community

You may have your reasons, and i apologize to you.

Neither the majority of the community nor I can find it. So where is this secluded cave where you conduct your information policy?

That was too much for him. Poor Vietnamese.

Played as Axis on Bocage a couple of minutes ago.
The very first move was trying to capture the Sawmill flag.
Arrived there with a teammate and simultaneously 2 allied players.
But no shoot-out was necessary, the B17 made a quick decision.
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

44 votes within 41 hours, that's truly amazing.
In comparison Rinjo's poll about the server had 26 votes in total,
and the FF feedback poll has 27 right now.

So what else could i say but:

B L I T Z K R I E G  for president!
And make CPAV the prime minister.

#172 Re: Feedback » Friendly Fire » 2023-02-07 02:34:39

I beg you to keep your comments objectively, refrain from the usual scuffling, exceptionally.
Even if it's hard to resist for some folks around here.

I voted for FF on, to me it's obvious the gameplay will severly suffer otherwise.
Just shoot anything that moves. This game wasn't meant to be played like that.
An example from Kursk: 2 tanks were fighting each other in close quarter, the Panzer IV was about to be knocked out,
yet it survived thanks to the Stuka... The T-34 driver ranted curses, the Axis player breathed a sigh of relief,
and the pilot made an extra-easy kill.
Now imagine the B17...

About 20 years ago i started online gaming with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, CoD later.
I only picked the FF on servers from the list.
It simply seems repulsive to me if one team wins the fight about a house,
just because it has one player outside tossing grenades into it, while all others rushing in.

A classic old game, the second in a long series.
The player could choose between two factions and play the respective campaign.
Surely most of you know the creatures on this picture, they belong to the more belligerent faction.

#176 Re: Other Languages » Patriotismus » 2023-02-02 17:16:14

Die Frage nach der Notwendigkeit von Patriotismus ist wohl gar nicht so einfach zu beantworten.
Sicher ist jedenfalls, dass er normal ist und natürlich für hochentwickelte, soziale Wesen wie den Menschen.
Aus dem Zugehörigkeitsgefühl für die Sippe, den Stamm ist im Laufe der Entwicklung, einhergehend mit
dem Seßhaftwerden und der über die Jahrtausende immer größer werdenden Anzahl der Menschen,
der Patriotismus entstanden.
Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass die meisten einfachen, durchschnittlichen Bürger Patrioten sind.
Der Einsiedler im Wald hingegen wird sich wohl nicht viel um Wappen und Landesflaggen scheren.
Und dann sind da noch Gruppen, welche es gleich übertreiben, wie Nationalisten auf der einen und
Anarchisten auf der anderen Seite.
Ich weiß nicht ob es für gesunden Patriotismus ausreicht, den international erfolgreichen Sportverein,
eine Fahrzeugmarke oder sonstiges nationales Kulturgut zu verehren...

Not many players like Kursk, to me it looks like the developers didn't put much effort into that map.
Surely Kursk is great for clan matches, but played on public it is just plain boring.

In addition El Alamein is such a great map which has been played long enough as amusement park, imho.
Why not simply swap Kursk and El Alamein?
