Post subject: Battlefield 1942 Anyone??

Got a couple of days off work and no plans cept get me some gaming in Mr. Green

Wondered if anyone has an old copy of BF 1942 gathering dust??? We used to have some laughs with this.

I've re-installed it today to give it a test run and for now i'm gonna leave it at version 1.0 (standard). Although i did find a newer version 1.6.19 which can be run over any version of the game here's the link just in case...

www.softwarepatch.com/...d1942.html

It's 267mb

Hope to see some of you later this evening, maybe???

I've got a copy, may I suggest Kursk or Stalingrad? Say time for Tuesday anytime after 2PM PDT and I'll try to be there, though might be late for you. What server to look for?

...and I don't have comms, so you won't find me on teamspeak. Entered it once and typed, but have no headset and mic.

Well, no joy. I know you and Lacey were on because I joined TS server and typed messages to each but got no reply. Did not see Com-C server on BF multiplayer/internet display at time you were obviously playing, so I must have missed something about connection. Search for "Com-C" server found nothing and couldn't join same.

Had a few connection issues my end Ascout sorry about that figured it out to be router ports in the end as Lacey Ace couldn't join initially. sorted it now though. Was in game when you sent message across TS so didn't see it till we came out Sad
No doubt we'll be there again tomorrow. Hope to catch you then Mr. Green
