Journal FortKnox's Journal: GeForce4 + BF:1942 19
OK, I finally got a GeForce4 (the best price for value on pricewatch. I think I spent like $55 including shipping, which was a GeF4MX, but it works great). I finally d/led and tried out the Battlefield 1942 demo, and am having a blast. If I can find it for under $50, I'll be playing it all the time. Who all plays this game?

Personally, I'm a little tired of all the Yet Another WW2 Sims(not game, games aim to be fun, sims aim to be realistic).
Theyre no different from WW2 movies, just cookiecutter clones of each other. From the popularity of these games, I'm guessing I'm the minority, but I get seriously bored fast.
RTCW was fun since it stretched the realism, but even it got boring after a while. I only stuck with it so long because iD Xian ran some nice servers and it ran great in linux.

I suppose eventually I should give it a try, But I just get disapointed by all the ww2 sims I've tried, in this order:
rtcw - fun, but tiresome
MOHAA - I played it for a grand total of about 3 hours before it bored me, that walking was horrible. I think downloading it took almost as long as playing it to the point of boredom
DOD - joy, run around spamming bullets until you get sniped. Its

The other game of choice is warcraft 3, which kicks ass, if you like that sort of thing. I'm going for a famous record, and am well underway with a nice Random Team record of 27 victories, and 7 losses. Yes, I am proud of that
What I'm finding, is for arranged teams you have to have a VoIP solution. GameVoice is supposed t

As far as VoIP Roger Wilco [gamespy.com] works well. The guys I used to play TFC with and I have used that for a couple of years. Heck we still use it even if we're playing PGA2000.

BF1942 or War3? I'm going to setup a "Clan Nerdfarm" I think for BF1942 and Warcraft. If I move over to a higher end server (currently looking a Dual Xeon w/ 1TB of bandwidth) I may start a BF1942 server... I'll have to do some specs with it first, but you'll be able to login. Just something to do in my spare time *cough*.
Thanks for the Roger Wilco link

And you've piqued my interest. My old TFC clanmates and I are looking for a well-run server to call "Home". Once you get it setup, with your permission, I'll pass on the relevant info to them. We've always emphasized teamplay which is what I assume you're looking for.

I have some interesting ideas for it, but teamplay is going to be the major focus. Friendly Fire will be at 100%, and I will use all the Anti-TK measures plus a few of my own ideas to script in there.
I may throw it on my current server to t

Just let me know where/when and I can arrange for 6 - 10 testers to show up at a time of your choosing.

The biggest hurdle is getting it to run on BSD. After that, it should be ok. I'll post a JE about the status of it.
