Goodbye?

Celestial1 · 07-21-2009, 03:27 AM

Well, it's been a long time since I first started playing PR, and it's been about a year since I started playing on TG servers... It's been a good run, from the hectic days of v0.5 muttrah littlebird flippings, to the current day boring 4 hour rounds of Kashan. But I'm going to have to set things down for at least a long while.

I'm going off to Orlando tomorrow, for college, and it will be at least a month before having a new computer (supplied by the college). Even then, it will be a laptop. And, it will be a Mac. So, for a month and likely some time after, I will be completely unable to play BF2.

And then, I'm going to a private, accelerated course, college. So I'll extremely busy. Luckily, it's in the Web Design field, which I have a sponge-like tendency to absorb information from, so it might not be as bad as I think. But even if I am able to absorb all that, it's still going to be hectic and hard to cope with for a bit.

However, I am bringing my BF2 DVD disc with me, and I have done a little bit of googling to figure out that it is possible to run BF2 through Mac OSX, and if I eventually get my hands on a copy of Windows XP, or perhaps even maybe able to use the Windows 7 Release Candidate, to put on a partition of the harddrive and play BF2 through a native Windows setup. I'm not quite sure how well a Macbook Pro will handle playing BF2, and I'm not sure which size I am getting (13" gets a GPU attached to the motherboard, whereas the 15"/17" gets a discrete GPU that would be a lot more likely to handle PR).

So I hope to eventually be able play every now and then, when I have free time, and if my Macbook can handle PR. But for now, goodbye, because it'll be quite a while before I can even think about playing, and I won't be able to play nearly as frequently as I used to. If all else fails, I'll see you guys during breaks.

Until then, goodbye, and have fun.

If I was off to college in Florida, I would not be too worried about playing video games thats for sure! Have a great time.

Good thing about Slovenia is that you can go anywhere within 2 hours.

Well, take care man, hope to see you soon.

Take care of yourself man. BF will be around, dont worry about it. Put your nose in the books and get your self taken care of.

**fullkontact** · 07-21-2009, 11:53 AM

Take care and enjoy it!

college? I thought you were in your mid 20's. Don't worry PR will be here when you are on vacation, and if i can give you any advice, DO NOT GRADUATE. Also check out Rollins College (the girls are hot, the move wild things was filmed there), and also send me a PM a very good friend of mine is a chef at epcot and I can hook you up with possibly some free food, etc.

Enjoy college!

Just for the record, I'm currently playing PR on my laptop and it runs fine... It's not a Mac, it's a Dell, and it's 17', but I bet ya can try and work something over. The only problem I have, of course, is the damn thing overheating and closing the program, but nothing a small bag of ice near the cooler won't do

Good luck mate, hope to see ya around!

Yeah. Web Design started as a hobby when my brother started getting interested in it; my father and my brother are and were very computer fluent and it passed on to me.

No, just sound and look like it (been 6'2" since I was about 12, 6"4' now). And your buddy is a chef at epcot? That's pretty cool, do you know what place he works at? (they've got a lot of different places and foods at epcot)

As for not graduating, I'm going to Full Sail Univ, a college that teaches actual things I need to learn as opposed to just giving me the run around, so I'll enjoy my time there and actually get something done while I'm there.

**Jack Bauer** · 07-21-2009, 02:48 PM

i wanted to go to full sail but couldn't afford the $120,000 price tag!! good luck i know what kind of hectic lifestyle that they campus lends itself too. congrats and good luck

**Grunt 70** · 07-21-2009, 02:55 PM

good luck in your new career ( college is like a career and if you treat it as such you'll benefit...)

Wow. .5 and Muttrah....Loved PR in .5. Dem was the days. I loved that Al Basra map. Those were good times.

But alas.. Orlando is not *really* Florida!

Although Delta*RandyShugart* is absolutely right about Rollins
