Besides, I thought the plan was to keep playing Euro Forces until all the regulars have it and we can sneakily slip the maps into rotation?
I thought the general tfeeling was that I attracts far too many of the wrong sort of player to your servers.

no, for stat whores, stats and medals are the game
Yes, but like anything paraphrasing things can make it look out of context. My reply, in full, was to you talking about XDC members not stat whores in general.
I play on your server because it has some of the best teamplay out there. If it was full of stat whores and twats I wouldn’t be playing here or associating with the people.
There’s a gameplay trailer over eurogamer for this. (sorry can’t link as work browser dies due to very old shockwave install, will try and remember when I get home)
Look under EUgamer TV section – then trailers. (there are 2 trailers one the one from E3 is crap tho)
This looks like the muts nuts!!!
One off-putting thing was one map appears to be at night/dusk – awalys remember that night map added to DC *shudder*
Looking forward to Operation Harvest though, nice big Battle of the Bulge type map 😀

imo it sounds like we’ve turned into the very ppl this collective was ment to take the piss out of 🙁
Doesn’t look like that to me:
In an attempt to bring some sanity back to the world of Internet gaming, I decided to start a clan myself, but in XDC the emphasis would be on having a good time, rather than on serious gameplay. We only invite someone to join if we like them, and if they’re good fun to have around. We have no ranks, so no one is ordered to do anything, and the only condition of membership is that you’re not a wanker. How good someone is at the games we play isn’t even a consideration when they’re asked to join, so us actually being good is purely coincidental 😉
In XDC we take games they way they should be taken as, i.e. just a bit of fun. We play for the entertainment of a challenge, but never get so carried away that we can’t have a laugh with the people we’re playing against. Nobody in XDC is expected to give up any free time towards the game; we can do what we want, when we want. That means we don’t have any bullshit like ‘meetings’, and we certainly don’t care how often members appear online. So basically, XDC gives us the opportunity to play in a team of friends when we want, but at the same time not letting the game become our life.
Now surely that all depends on what you define as fun?
If I’m having fun playing as X class whilst working towards X medal/badge and still helping my team and making their game enjoyable, then what’s the issue?
I don’t see any comparison with what’s on the front page, personaly I’m not a ‘all waking hours’ type and have never been in any clans of a serious nature.
I don’t think any of XDC currently playing has lost sight of what XDC stands for from what I’ve seen and heard on the servers. Everyone still appears to be playing for the fun and love of the game.
The stats and medals are just a side show to the actual game really.
Think you’re right Doc in an unfortunate way. In that in this day and age to get the average player to play as a team you have to reward them.
Me, I just like the aspect of helping others and played mostly as engy/medic in BF42 too. (play support classes in WoW too)
Although playing as an engy in BF2 is far less rewarding points wise than a medic. I mean in the time it takes to drop a full load of medpacks and revive half your team, I’ve fixed one tank and probably got nothing for it apart from normaly being run over or killed by tank/AT/TOW. But it’s enough of a reward to watch that tank trundle off and cut a scythe through the enemy, oh and taking out full APC/Transports with mines is nice 🙂

Stat whoring / Badge whoring = same thing or not?
Same thing, especially as your stats can be viewed and there’s a leaderboard of sorts. Get rid of that and you’ll reduce the kudos of having a high score.
But at the moment the highest rewards go to people who can kill the most, which skews the game.
I’d have to disagree on that I’m afraid.
If I’d have spent more time running about as a medic and not bothered to put in the time and effort to get to vetran on the other classes I’d imagine that I’d be 2-3 ranks higher now.
Yeah he’s played at every level, scored goals at every level and is going to the World Cup, he’s obviously a pile of shite.
And if he’s scores the winning goal in the final, you’d all take mansex from him I’d bet.
But then again none of you are playing in the world cup are you, well from your armchairs maybe….
Fickle bunch 🙂

I think it’s been said before, but for a game called “Armoured Fury”, there’s a helluva lot of pictures of planes and choppers and hardly any of tanks.
I was having alook around the maps on Friday and believe me there’s lots of armour and AA 🙂
Badges do, however, have the advantage of making you play or at least try all the classes.
Now where’s my Brasso….
yes, despite everyone saying that they all hate buying booster packs.
As for the server I’ll give it a weekend before it’s back to karki/sharki/masharki/one-round-of-waki2006.
Aye IG has to be the least optimised POS map ever made for BF2 laggy cack.
That’s one of the draw backs to SF in that the seal maps are either IG or night ones. That’s ok tho more time for SAS maps 🙂
STARLIGHT TO MY LOCATION, STARLIGHT TO MY LOCATION. MORE FOXHOUNDS REQUIRED.
Voices are real A Bridge too Far.
I say Sir, can we have a crack?
What?
At Jerry Sir, a crack.
Suprised there isn’t an umbrela unlock 😀
