lol, i forgot........

I can understand the numbers, they are bigger, bigger is always better.

*sigh* So let me see if i understand this correctly, you heard OSF was falling apart and decided to abandon the clan before the ship sank now you do not think it is and want to come back! I'm sorry mate but this was a bit low, osf needs reliable members to give it strength not quiters.

OSF is one of the best casual gaming clans in Crysis so i'll be here until the f***ing end.

I hope you still play with us Aldo and join our TS because I do find your street jazz entertaining at times as for you wearing OSF tags again i'm sorry but my answer is no.

I have gotin' a reply on the tracert ticket which said that they have made a few adjustments server side and that we should see an absolute difference in pings but I'm not so sure. Anyway I've done what i can on my end to fix it(unfortunately they do not describe what they have changed). If ANY one would like to discuss any ideas xfire me at nickname:robocop first name:jeremy last name: bublitz. also the people that have joined the server usually are open to suggestions(exp. last bunker) via in game chat as evil said. i would like to see some more of uk guys and others from out of the us to join so pings can be monitored a bit'. Hope you enjoy! :wink:

Well i do not believe it has anything to do with internet traffic at certain times of day, my ping has been a consistent 200 throughout the day, it also does not explain why others from Europe do not have this problem.

I'd like it if Ryan and Teabag or even Yoda could join to see if it maybe has something to do with my internet which is terrible and report back, i personally think it is and explains a lot of the weird happenings I often get during game play at certain times.

Wish my broadband provider would get its arse into gear and give me a decent broadband speed!

When i think of the GTX 580 compared to the 480 i think its potatos.

I didn't know about weapon inertia... So when you are running, does the laser pointer show pointed at your target when running if weapon inertia is all the way down?

Yes

Ginia thats a very very very very.........very nice video, but i've a question. how do u run on speed mode and your weapon isnt pushed down?

Ah looks like you've not learnt about weapon inertia BlackHawk, go into your mouse and keyboard settings in the game and turn the weapon inertia off! by sliding the bar to zero, this helps a lot when running and shooting as your weapon does not move around or go down.

Are you any closer to getting Crysis wars running again?

I just think server population as a whole across the board has changed, no-cd key servers seem to get well populated but have there problems with hackers not including the fact the cheap skates didn't purchase the copy of Crysis in the first place and if you want PC gaming to survive and to have good titles released in the future cough up the dough !!

I have mentioned it to Evil about a no-cd key server out of desperation to see population back, but this really isn't what OSF is about.

So I think we have to change with the times, use our server for fun, mix the maps and game types, play scrims maybe even clan wars although be wary we are most deffinetly a casual clan of honest gamers!

I'd like to try and get some small games going from time to time with some friends i've meet through this game who share the same values when it comes to playing.

We may be able to get populated again if we were less strict, allowed 3 vtols per team, sniping from 2 v 2 and tanks etc etc, up'd the ping kick to 300 all the things that are not particularly OSF! Even then it will only work if the clan get together to populate it regularly to make us seen.

Personally like i've said before I feel we just need to stay united, try to get some game time with each other even if it is not at our own server at least once a month and see what we can do when Crysis 2 comes out.

I also think we should try to keep recruiting, its nice to see apps again and Ktysonis a nice guy who I hope sticks around.

I had a feel of one yesterday, pretty much felt like a Logitech G9 in the hand, given the known qaulity and product support for logitech products i'll deffinetly be going for another.

But i am Logitech fanboy so my opinion is heavily biased.

From the little feedback i've read now in various places, its just an expensive mouse and does not have an edge over any other so i'm now leaning on buying a Logitech G9x which suits me well.

Who knows Tryton its so new to the market, i'm sure it will be a good mousebut damn it is expensive!

hey i'll vote for ya when you finish the pro jumping course or make it onto the proto sphere

Jeez not even i can get on to the proto sphere, looks like the application process is getting a lot harder these days.

I never thought Enya and killing people in brutal online combat would work but oddly it does

i will get a amd athlon x6 6x2,80 only 180euros

The x6 AMD's look tempting on paper, but I honestly think Intel is a no brainer at the moment and i'm sure you can find something at a similar price point which performs just as well if not better. the AMD/ATI cards still have the edge over nvidias offerings in all but the latest dx11 games, beware though i hear new AMD cards are out soon!

Try starting a new thread detailing what you are thinking about buying and i'm sure others with more hardware knowledge than me will be able to make suggestions.

Yesterday was goodwe had a bit of a game going for most of the evening, and good population in the TS so we are still alive for the moment.

A few players once again were complaing about no end! a nuke tank costs to much and i'm not sure how tfast the energy is gaining. So i'd like to trail this over the next few weeks if possible maybe set rounds at 1 and a half hours, set the energy level at a good balance for this, nuke tank around the 800pp mark.

Map rotation Mesa, refinery, frost and desolation i suggested 3 smaller maps for the moment as server population is still to low for large maps like shore and beach.

Wardy me and Ginia are usually about for a game, hopefully others will join if we are there.

Do you not see it as a problem that we can only recruit players by lying about who we are?

It was just an experiment by me a Tanktop out of curiosity absoloutly we can not lie about our identity, it is very frustrating that our server is no longer populated, i still meet many of our regular players in other servers and they always say how nice our server was to play in, apart from a few exceptions!
Maybe we were to hard on some players?

I don't know what else to say,,,,,, even active =OSF= players are less frequent some days its just me and Ginia and usually Tanktop, at the height the TS was a busy place, I think its just a sign of a dying game

The only thing i can think of is the often mentioned open to public scrims, we need at least 5 v 5 though to make an impact and make our server seen again.

Good luck in the future Drake.

Crysis 2, Crysis 2, Crysis 2, Crysis 2, Crysis 2 Crysis 2 and =OSF= Forever

I think we will struggle to get the popularity up again, i think if we start to populate the server again then maybe we will get some 7 v 7 or 8 v 8 games going? No one more than me and ginia would like to see the server back to max capacity but I just think the way public servers are right now this would be difficult. When i started playing in August last year there was many populated Mesa servers to join, 7oxicity - Schumplfhausen - Kannonfotter and of course NH these were always highly populated now its not the case, just NH has managed to stay the course maybe in part due to there high memberships even non clan members can enjoy extra perks by contributing to the server.

All I can say is lets just hang in there, if the few hardcore (non quiters) of us stick it out trying to get games going on our own server or meeting up in other servers in the in between time before the Crysis 2 release then hopefully with many more new gamers and greater general server population we can go for a recruitment drive and push OSF in Crysis 2.

On a side note I noticed 7oxicity have gone to the darkside! and had a NoCDkey server up.

I like racing games on consoles, something about chilling on the sofa playing a racing game on a big screen TV.

Wether OSF is dead depends on the majority of this community, if some now feel that crysis is dying (which it is! ) and as the server is always empty that doesn't mean the OSF community is over.

Me i've not given up on this community yes our server sadly is empty, but there are other games to play such as BC2, OSF has always seemed to be more of a casual gaming community mainly based around Crysis, so maybe we just need to evolve the community beyond =OSF= as a crysis only clan and i'd like to hear opinions on this.

I've only ever played 2 PC games Soldier of Fortune 2 in 1999 of which i was a member of the Storm Clan, i then had a break for 9 years before buying Crysis and finding this clan/community, the Storm Clan are still going today, there have been many members that have come and gone but the core still exist playing COD, MW, BC2 and APB to varying levels and new mebers continue to come and others leave.

Me and Ginia have found some good friends here whilst enjoying Crysis and i hope you feel the same about us, so personally i hope this community will still exist beyond Crysis or even Crysis 2 if it sucks
