Thanks for the comments guys, always good to get other opinions.
I bought BF1 a few months ago but not got round to installing it yet.
Will probably bite on BFV when it's on offer then leave it a few months before getting round to giving it a go.  smile

Just bought and installed BF4 and whilst it's leaps and bounds ahead of BF1942 graphically, audibly and pretty much awesome I'm struggling to get into it.
Feel like a fish out of water what with all the symbols floating around and stuff.
Dropped into a conquest map and didn't have a Scooby Doo what the hell was going on although essentially it's the same strategy as BF1942.

Perhaps that's why BF1942 keeps me invested, simple graphics and sound effects but gameplay is awesome.
Maybe I'm too sentimental given I've played BF1942 since it launched but BF4 does immerse you in an almost real scenario of raw battle.

Any fellow BF1942 vets care to comment?

Ya, the number of PT Boats sux also a bit.

If PT's are reduced to one, (others replaced to normal Troopboats), would lead to Boat vs Boat MG-Battle smile

that could be fun....


Yes, given the limited turning circle of the gun we'd have whirlpool boat battles as the boat pilot frantically turns allowing his gunner to draw a bead on the enemy boat.

This does sound like fun.

cmon its the only jungle map. adds a new scenery. maybe work on a mod instead so i can climb the trees


Great idea, perhaps develop a Tarzan mod so we can swing from tree to tree on vines then drop right on top of an enemy below killing them instantly.

The engineer and sniper rifle are identical apart from the scope.
You need to practise head shots my friend.

Pussy snipers don't want to get into a one on one with anyone and the engineer best go for his knife in that situation.
If the enemy player is a decent guy he'll see that and get his own knife out and you can slug it out with honour.

Too many PT boats with uber powerful torpedoes.

#251 Re: Technical Help » Failed to connect to server » 2019-03-16 22:42:49

Try using the 'ADD SERVER' option then putting in the ip address of the server.
That's the only way I can join Simple or Ax these days.
Trying to join through the browser doesn't work for me.

Good point. In bocage (and others) I usually flak from main, where I'm also able to keep an eye out for such stupid things. I usually don't spectate people who I know like to fly on maps with b17s (fake sometimes takes the b17), because a lot of the negatives are due to accidental tks.

From now on, if I don't see an admin on the other team, then I will join that side so I can try to witness such things and read the team chat.

These acts, which are incredibly infuriating and lame, should also be used to push admins to be better.

Hey Sunshine, respect to you for taking my comments constructively, I wasn't having a go at admins.

Your last sentence is class.

I was on axis and never saw a report about him doing anything.

I only remember reading Fake Blood saying "b17 taking off." I thought it was just him using global chat accidentally.

Fair enough.

That whole clip looked like a testosterone fuelled romp on the airfield and what is it with 000 constantly caressing his med pack even when not under fire? Noticed that in all of his videos.

#257 Re: Report Abuse » Player "OOO" » 2019-03-12 22:35:23

Think we should all use hacks,  level the playing field so to speak.
Some don't give a shit or need hard proof.

I do notice a sense of apathy both here and on Ax regarding players who cheat or at least when it's pointed out in game.

#258 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Unban request » 2019-03-09 22:56:50

Sorry Dakota, don't get the YouTube vid, got anything else perhaps funny or relevant?

Me and Merlin don't see to eye and we've both had words with each other about stuff but I must admit, the retards that are getting in and ruining games, on here and Ax is winding me up.

#259 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Unban request » 2019-03-09 21:00:57

Believe me, Major Merlin does not have influence over admins.
Yes he's very vocal but he's a fair player, doesn't cheat nor team kill and if he does he apologises.

I'd kick you if you team killed and it definitely isn't part of the game, if you think that then play elsewhere.

yea it lacks admins. but i can tell you this, i've seen people disrupt more in simple than in ax. probably because in ax they eventually learn because of auto punishment. good thing tho is that in simple you are dealt with right away due to admin presence.

Exactly, they learn when to disconnect to avoid the punishment then return, it doesn't change their attitude to disrupt or cheat.
Still a lot of decent honest players on Ax but it's sad to see it attracting low life players who get off on ruining it for everyone else.

What's frustrating is that there is no hope of new admins being appointed.

Ax server owner is MIA.

Pointless having good server features on Ax when gameplay is ruined by lack of admins.
It's becoming a refuge for hackers and cheaters but if that floats your boat or you employ hacks anyway then that's the server to play on.

Already posted about this guy on Ax forum but seems he's on Simple now using multiple hacks.

On Berlin earlier and saw him there, gave a heads up to everyone.
Lop|Jazzy asked me if he should be banned.
Strange question from an admin but he seemed happy to let this guy rack up the cheap kills.
I don't think he'd ban him on my say so.

He then joined Battleaxe and fell in very neatly just below jazzy in the scoring, tracking just under and had a more realistic kdr , perhaps thinking it wouldn't look too bleeding obvious.

he display his anger in the chat... most of the time that is perfectly legit

Yeah, despite the abusive personal message he sent me I suppose we all just shrug our shoulders and say 'That's Merlin'.

Well I suppose we should show sympathy to those with mental health issues and whatever else is going on in his world.
Seems to be the trend these days.
Probably suffers from Tourettes as well.

Good honest gameplay to achieve that I hasten to add smile

Errr, we won't go into how much more time I've invested in getting to that.
