Return to Wake Island

Post by **enderzero** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 4:36 pm

So it has been far far too long since we put together a good multi-locale game evening and I am going to plan it damn it.

And what are we going to play? Battlefield 1942: Wake Island!!

That's right it was probably the last game in the Redmond house that we all had so much fun playing we couldn't breathe and it is time to go back for seconds.

Download BF1942 Wake Island MP Demo
[s]Download BF1942 1.6 patch (I don't know if this works on the demo yet - I'll check it out)[/s]
UPDATE: 1.6 Patch no good for demo.

When is a good time for everyone?

I want a show of hands damn it. McNevin, R3c? B333? l2? S.m0nx? 805? j.che? g.mon? Who is playing damn it?

...damn it.

Update: Demo installed and played - works in Vista64 - quite a bit quicker to load and doesn't look all that bad in 1600.

Times?

perhaps try to contact me by telephone before the event. I may have some time for parachuting out of airplanes into tanks only to have a wily mechanic drop land mines in front of me....

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 5:11 pm

Bill Drayton Jr. · Post by **Bill Drayton Jr.** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 5:30 pm

I am currently away from the desktop (using me blackberry) and don't know when I will be able to play tonight due to Valentines stuff.

mistasparkle* · Post by mistasparkle* » Sat Feb 14, 2009 7:05 pm

so are we still on?

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 10:44 am

Did you guys play?

Post by **enderzero** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 9:44 am

Sparkle and I played a bit on a pub server.

I'd still really like to get a 3-3 game on a private server. Anyone in? Tonight?

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPH!!!

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 12:04 am

i already uninstalled it. I'd rather play the BF2 mod.

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:08 pm

I'd rather play a good game...

Sorry...

You know, we all have Prey do we not? (from when it was $4)

All but one or two have L4D...

We all have Quake IV...

Quake Live is in Open Beta sometime this week I think. I already have a previous beta account, and it works great...

I'd be willing to install BF2, but I don't remember my login. I'll have to figure that out. If it just works with an EA login I have some from my other games...

Enemy Territory is free, WWII themed, and I'd actually play it. (I play ET: QW all the time, and the old one should be fairly similar...) I could put my bomb on a stick aversion aside to play this perhaps...

Not sure I want to install a demo of a game that I never got into in the first place...

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 3:26 pm

I registered for Quake Live, but it seem to have a rather long queue to play.

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 12:56 pm

Yeah, it sounds like they weren't expecting that many people. I guess they're bolstering their servers a bit. The line was somewhere in the 5000 range for me, on open-beta day, but it only took about 5-7 minutes to get through it. I've heard of numbers like 19000 though. Hopefully they'll get it resolved quickly. It's really quite a convenient game.

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 12:57 pm

I never really thought about this, but I wonder if there is a way for a bunch of people like us (group of friends) to join the same server, or if it will just place us all on random ones.

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 7:28 pm

So I played me up some L4D! It was awesome, we really need to play this game.

Bill Drayton Jr. · Post by **Bill Drayton Jr.** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 9:48 pm

yes. yes we do. but when will it happen?

Bill Drayton Jr. · Post by **Bill Drayton Jr.** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 9:52 pm

my steam nickname is:l2icks0r!

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:47 am

I was compozorzing up some musicalities last night. I could play tonight if people were so inclined. I think my notifications somehow got switched off in Steam, as someone tried to message me the other day and I didn't get it. I'll mess with that tonight. If you don't get me via Steam, call me. I'd love to blast some jonzbies! (My wee-girl's name for zombies)

Bill Drayton Jr. · Post by **Bill Drayton Jr.** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 10:25 pm

what is contact info?

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:11 pm

I had to come into the Wake Island thread to find your Steam information to get you to play Left 4 Dead soon. The Left 4 Dead thread didn't have it.

Anyway, I'm adding you now. McNevin and I played a bit ago as a test run. It's amazingly fun with even two players, so we'll need to get something larger rolling. Tomorrow night anyone?

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:15 pm

Hmm, that information above did not work. No l2icks0r on Steam... Or so it says... Ideas? Confirmations? Action Items?

Nevermind... I copied the wrong one... Damn the exclamation point.

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:25 pm

I've added you rick to my friends, and invited you to the monkeylair.

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 8:57 am
