Not sure if you guys have seen my other post about the patch but basically it won't be available from Hypernia for our server until midnight tonight. I'll try and get it installed sometime tomorrow.

I would like to join you guys but I have this worthless piece of software that refuses to work properly and causes my game to crash under Vista x64 and 7 x64.

I LOVE Punkbuster!

Sweet! No more cd needed. Bonus! I never bought Armored Fury or Euro Forces. I loaded it up this morning around 5 and played for an hour. It might just be what we need to get the band back together. I will also DLed the new PR update as referenced by our old buddy Pulver tonight. Maybe we could have a retro fall or autumn if you will?


BTW enjoy this long and drawn out histiry of the game video.

Sounds like a plan Mac. I'd love to get a big group of us playing again. I won't be able to join tonight because I have to get up early but tomorrow night and the weekend I should be good!

Played last night with a few of the fellas: Hedge (not a pilot), Pill (still the killer), Evil, Rad to name the few I remember. Still some hoppers and proners out there playing and there was some bitching. I know a few guys came on the channel last night and they had not upgraded yet, but were going to do so. Tonight we should see a few more. Maybe we can get on our server and try the new maps. I don't have admin rights but it would be nice to try some of the new ones. Me and Hedge played Dalian Plant for about 45 minutes. Like I said he is not a pilot.

One of the maps for the mods will have to be loaded on the server while you are playing.

Hey guys,
This has also brought out a response from oWs as well. Our Clan was founded on BF42 and we are seeing old timers returning to "check out" this new patch.
Do we want to set up a night where we either scrim or pub together on one of our Servers?
We would love to play with you guys in any way we work it out. I don't want to lose touch with OSG. You are a rare breed who understands this is a game and we are all here for FUN!!!

I'll check back here. OR
