Battlegrounds 2

[Ennui]

Version .17 was released a week or so ago. This mod is fantastic, I highly recommend it - gameplay can be a bit slow, but it's definitely a lot of fun.

If you decide to get it, make sure you play on +]3D[+'s clan server. We're usually near the top of the list because we're one of the more popular servers - but that's where you'll find me 90% of the time.

Oh, word, thanks!

Ennui makes everything popular.

 

[Ennui]

That's because I only like awesome things.

 

[63]

I noticed.

 

[theotherguy]

its okay. the last version I played was extremely buggy/laggy. One shot per 30 seconds guns+lag=very bad.

 

[Hazar]

so you bug me enough to get it, and I do... so what do you do then?!? LOG OFF?!?!

 

[Ennui]

I was sleepy

I'll be on most of today probably.

My infatuation with this game is growing to terrifying levels. I played until 5 AM last night, woke up at noon, and kept playing. SixThree and DanceCommander (JNightshade) joined me, and we pretty much pwned:

I play/played the original half-life mod all the time with the 3D guys, cant really tell if the original people (twisted,crusers,death..etc) play the source version...I havent really played the source version much because I dont really like it, but every once in a while I join up with the new release of the old mod.. . My name will probably be -=ICE=-Infamous Hope to see ya around in either of them

I think I've gotten the hang of the bayonet

 

[JNightshade]

Yeah. I have to say, I really did enjoy it- the enormous reload times actually makes it better- it adds tension and some interesting gameplay elements. Plus, the map "Powderkeg" was excellent. What I didn't like, however, was that you can't cancel a reload. What they SHOULD do is make you hold R for the first 5 seconds of the reload, and if you let go, it gets cancelled. Also, the spawn bug is a bitch.

Death does from time to time, but he's just stepped down as leader and is staying around to run and watch over the servers, etc. 3D is mostly BG1 and BG2 seperate - I don't know most of the BG1 guys, just all the BG2 guys, who are mostly newer.

yeah, nightshade, powderstores is an aweeeeeeeeeeesome map.

Reload canceling is a balancing thing, which is why it's not there. Bayonets are better than knives, so knives get the added ability to switch weapons during reload.

 

[Edcrab]

Yeah, knew someone would mention reload cancelling. Bloody annoying, but I guess it has to be there.

Anyway, pretty awesome mod- don't think much of the maps with wide open areas (seriously, castle? The defenders have it made) but the parts with chokepoints and a kind of "walkthrough" feel make for damn good firefights.

Models are still a bit meh, but the animations and particle effects are as smooth as ever. And I love having a damage-based scoring system in a game for once!

 

[Forceflow]

Guess I'll have to try it out, then.

 

[laughterkillsme]

Good Game.



FREEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEDOoooooom!

Someone on the server liked to be dramatic about that, he would yell it right before charging at me. Anyhow, he was standing on a hill and I was a the bottom of it aiming at him. It went like this:


Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *BLAM* *Smoke* *Dead body slides down the hill*

"That was a bit dramatic"

Lol
