GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5850 for $230 after MIR. I'd definitely have gone for this if I didn't buy a 470.

haha you mean the Gods of the Tarmac? I'll have to take a video if I do
Hmmmm my tires are getting old....I wonder what I should do with them 
I still remember the first time I saw this Gymkhana stuff that Rip posted a link to.
Here's a new one
the car sounds like a weed whacker but it's fucking awesomely quick.
heh, yea OSF was started just over a year ago. Nice try though drake.
Sounds good Arborist, but what about our server? I have no problems meeting in other servers like you said, but in the meanwhile our server is idling and not paying for itself.
sound logic
I miss the good old days that you're referring to more than you could imagine. In terms of regaining popularity by running Mesa 24/7, I think the words "uphill struggle" would be a massive understatement. So I agree that we'd have to offer something different (like other PS maps, nukes, and time limits as you mentioned). The idea behind the IA custom map rotation was to attract players looking for something other than the same old same old; and it it did work to an extent, but we need to get in there and play in order to keep the games alive.
While I cannot deny that the custom map rotation has been a complete failure thus far, I think more than just the maps are to blame. Organizing practice sessions with open doors to the public would definitely help regain some popularity. I think we need someone to get the troops riled up and remind everyone how much fun Crysis can still be.
To answer your question about what the story will be in Crysis 2, all I can say is that the amount of responses to this topic will serve either as encouragement or doubt for the future.
NecessaryEvi1 - the L is the #1
I probably won't be able to add you because there's a retarded 20 friend limit bug.
I'll try to upload a new map everyday...many of which will probably not be PS.
Analog thumb sticks are for 9 year olds.
Just stick with the PC - only 189 days to go.
New suggestions can be more durastic, as server popularity has gone from poor to abysmal.
I don't think we can compete any longer with bros and nh and other mesa servers, so how about running exclusively small custom maps? The few servers that feature these cool maps are often populated (no, not 32 players populated but 8-12).
Any yeah, this idea is a complete ripoff from XI (minus the hardcore mode).
im sure everything will be fine.
Only if you START SHOWING UP again 
oh man chachi...that post....is full of win
btw, they forgot to add verrater to the list of qualified players lol
Obviously, Crysis's popularity (or lack thereof) has an effect on OSF's well-being. We're not thriving like we were when Crysis Wars was newer, and that can be seen in game server popularity and also here in the forums (which have been rather bereft of life). However, there are other ways of measuring OSF's heartbeat, so to speak. TS is always populated and the relationships formed within it only grow stronger. Like Arborist, I can also thank OSF for a bunch of friendships and tons of good times. Regardless of whether or not the good times are had in Crysis, all signs point towards a bright future. After all, we're going through a drought right now and yet you'd never guess that were the case judging by the amount of activity in TS.
We'll have to wait for Crysis 2...and hope it doesn't blow
LoLoLoL I love the remix. LMFAO 
im pretty sure that you can...if not then you definitely can in BF2142 (my name is also Nomar5 in 2142).
I just bought BF2 from Newegg for $10. A good game once you force the 1680x1050 resolution and max out the graphics.
if you wanna add me, my name is Nomar5
