Title: LAN Fest 2 - "The Server's Revenge"
Post by: FUBAR on February 15, 2006, 06:52:01 PM
A while ago I said about asking to Hold one of these doo-dads at my house later in the year when my mum & stepdad go on holiday.

I asked last night & I'm pretty sure it will be fine, they go away on June 17th for 2 weeks, now this 1st weekend is a show weekend (not sure which one but we'll all be at bling regardless!)

So I'm proposing "LF2" for the weekend of 24th & 25th June, & I'd imagine it would mainly be Battlefield 2 again.
What do people think?

It's the SummerNats the first w/e, Cuh, N00b. (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/smirk.gif)

Yeah, sounds good . . . not normally up for them in Summer but as it's local should be fine . . .

Possibly have this one as a Sat-Sun one instead of a Fri-Sun one though.

(Unless we watch some DVD's on the Friday night, then start playing on Sat morning . . . . . My brain was cooked by Sunday last time.)

I'm up for a Film night followed by a Games Day / night.

Already spoke to him, as always he's probably up for it.

"as long as its not as hot as the one a deans"

and would prefer to play something with Co-op option i.e against bots.

But who knows what we will be playing in 4 months (http://www.aaci-beds.co.uk/forum/smileys/dontknow.gif)

Problem is BF2 keep releasing patches which makes creating mods difficult, they often only work with a particluar version of BF

Why not go retro? - Quake 2 was cool and had some excellent mods available.

Although my preference would be vanilla Q3, I was a demon on that.

Or there's Half Life 2 as well... not sure if that can have bots though

Or by then Unreal Tournament 2007 will be out, that has Brilliant Bots + you still get the vehicles!

(But then people have to buy it...)

2.3 GB free hard drive space

The BF2 Lanfest 2 only 4 weeks away!

I was speaking to Ian briefly yesterday about this and he can supply all the "Communications" equipment we need for this, so all everyone needs to bring will be their PCs & themselves & any specific Munchies you want.  Everything will also be running through a 108mbps wireless router too so if anyone needs that its there

He is also looking to see if he has something we could use as a Dedicated Server (You get more setup options for BF2 if its run this way)

I need to double check numbers too, I currently have

Me - Confirmed (Obviously)
Chris - Confirmed
Andrew - Confirmed
Paul - Confirmed
Dean - Confirmed
PhilO - Possibly
Keith (Losty) - Confirmed
Steptoe - Possibly
Shifty - Possibly
Ian - Confirmed

Also How many people will be bringing Cars?  There is Parking for 4 Vehicles outside my house if you squash up a bit (Possibly 5 if my Mum & Step dad take one to the airport with them)

You and Vix can have my (absent) brothers room, there's a double bed in there.

There's also 1 spare room with a single bed in (awaiting calls of shotgun!!!(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif))

apart from that everyone will need suitable floor/sofa/recliner sleeping equipment as nobody is using my mum & step dad's room... (understandable I feel)


I have the friday booked off too so Midday arrival is fine with me, hell if the weathers nice its BBQ time over the weekend too!!! & with WiFi we could play BF in the garden! lol (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rofls.gif)

Community Update - 4/25/06

Attention Soldiers!

Although the 1.3 patch is still being worked on we wanted to provide a peek at what you can expect with the coming release:

NEW FEATURES
Co-op: Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.
Air dropped vehicles: Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.

full thing here...

http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/battlefield 2/us/editorial.jsp?src=communityupdate_042506






I doubt this will be released in time for the LAN, but its what we want tbh!

"This mod strives to turn the battlefields of BF2 into racetracks. You can jump into DPVs on various racetracks (some new, some actually based on BF2 maps) and race! A big new feature in 1.2 is the stats system. On 'Battleracer Ranked' servers, the results of your races are uploaded to a website where you can keep track of your accomplishments and records. Soon we will also organize tournaments for racers, complete with fully automated scoring.

Six tracks are included in this release - two each from Karkand, Mashtuur, and Seaside Raceway. Later on we will release additional maps. "

Can you mix a LAN and WAN game?  

Also, it's not the same playing in a room/house full of others playing. There's no atmosphere on your own.

Besides - it's not just for the gaming.
