The worst thing is, and sadly this can be said in a few words, "I dont see a trend"! I dont see any developments, may they be positive or negative. The coalition casualties improved a little in July, now we see them rise up again pretty steadily. The number of attacks does not decrease, the number of civillian casualties does not decrease, the only thing that realy does become less is the amount of media coverage. I realy cant recall the last interview I saw on TV with iraqi people on the streets. So where the hell is public opinion heading towards in iraq. What is the situation like right now? All very frustrating.

watch the repair of the shuttle now !!!! A must see! My colleague can watch it on real high resolution even on full screen! Awesome live http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ wohooo this time I am not late with my post! Â

We should try it one day! But with only 2 to 3 players its no fun and for more players we would probably require a dedicated server.

oopps, wrong forum.. Can someone please throw it over into the OFFTOPIC Forum! Sorry for that mistake I read an article today about a hackers that attacked the offical site of the Guantanamo Base. Before it looked like this Then from sunday on it looked like this And later even like this So dont be surprised if the site is currently down. It sounds nearly ironic that this internetsite of the Guantanamo base usually declares that is the only "free" soil in a communist country. And I must say I felt somewhat "entertained" to see someone having hacked it. Speaking purely hypotetical, which internet page would you hack and leave what kind of message? Would you chose Jamba? Or maybe Ikea? What about Microsoft? (this is absolutely illegal so this thread is meant to have humorous tone and not to be a motivator to work into this direction. So please dont post any details of how these things are usually done and which "tricks" one can apply).

considering your criticism I must say that you still seem to play a lot, just look at your score!

With all respect Sir. You must first watch it to judge!

so noone watched it? Great! Thanks! I would have appreciated some feedback!

Over There: Under Fire short trailer Created by Steven Bochco and Chris Gerolmo, "Over There" centers on the members of a U.S. Army unit sent to Iraq for their first tour of duty, exploring the effects of war on these soldiers and their families. "Over There" premieres Wednesday, July 27, 2005 at 10pm E/P. Please some watch it and report how it was. there is very mixed feedback! http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/tv/233932_over26.html

lol, I had exactly the same idea but was too scared they would punish me for that

pretty cool banner you found there Kevbaz.. here would be mine

at the score of 1000 and then the next one at 10.000. But choose wisely. Currently there is too many with the G36 out there and surprisingly not enough medics and engineers. I found out the better the people and their weapons get the more valuable a sniper becomes. Untill you get a new weapon you can always look around on the battlefield to find a good kit.

Just because you get a new weapon doesnt mean you should stick to it all the time. Each map favours a certain type of equipment and it would be silly not to change just because only have one superior weapon!

not funny but a good lesson why you should wear body armour. Iraqi sniper aiming at US patrol! http://images.military.com/Video/050713_SniperShot.wmv

No you cant use it for every character in the game! Getting kicked for TK is nothing new. Especially anoying is if you get punished by your victim even though he should have known better what the skull stands for. If you are a sniper then I suggest you dont place the mine next to the ladder on top of a roof. This is hard to identify for friendly players and you will definetly get a TK. Placing mines inside a camp is always dangerous. Especially if you place them everywhere so no friendly vehicule finds a way out anymore. Jus stick to C4! it works much better. If often drive tanks into enemy bases and leave them behind with C4 on it. Once enemy gets in I blow them. Works best with choppers! Â You probably all know the chopper artillery trick? One guy with C4 and one with reamunition capabilities inside a chopper. Now you can drop as many explosives into the enemy camp as you want. If the pilot is capable to keep the chopper on top of the enemy base then you will quickly get up to 20 kills or even more. The only precondition must be that the enemy must be forced to spawn from only one base!

nah, the G3 is by far the best weapon. Highly accurate and with a good firerate. The only disadvantage is the small magazine and the that you can only carry smoke grenades with it!

that is why the engineer has basically dissapeared from most games. The only thing that happens is that you get punished for TK. Same for the sniper mines. Â People are just too stupid to place them properly and others too stupid to watch out for them. The engineer is only useful if you are in a squad of mostly tank drivers! The C4 explosives of the SpecOps is just as good as the mines! the key settings are terrible. You can basically not use most of the number keys on the right side.

first weapon at 1000, second at 10.000! So choose well! The G3 and G36 are the best, but of course you must be an assault character to use them properly. Stay away from the sniper rifle. It sucks except if you go for choppers, then it realy is a great boost to your score. You can take out a pilot through the windscreen!

That was realy nice to read!

I think this one is not too bad. But dont look at the Operation Flashpoint date. They definetly always screw that one up! http://www.pcfun.de/ choose "coming soon"

born in Germany moved to Ireland for 1-2 years then back to germany then lived 9 months in France and 6 in Spain then to switzerland for 5 years lived in Thailand for a year, then went to Malta and now back to Germany. But I guess most people here know that so ... useless comment from my side.

http://bf2stats.ausgamers.com this should give you a proper overview over your own Performance so far. Just have a look. I dont think there is any stat out there that is more precise. It is currently down due to the problems EA has at the moment. (yesterdays hacker attack) oh and this is definetly the nicest overview over the requirements you can get! Â http://www.pegame.net/bf2/stats.html

when you reach 1000 scorepoints. AND you need to play on RANKED SERVERS to get points. These are usually harder due to more professional players and hard to get a free slot.

Ralph I hate you for that. I had to cancel my summer holidays due to new job project, my girlfriend is realy realy anoyed about it and you post these sweet images of sand and sea! Great, Just Great!

well Hornet, as I said, the link is down or takes too long!

As far as I know Al Quaida already released a letter which said they claim full responsibility for the explosion. I cant post the link now cause the site is currently down.
