Man, we've been on the server all evening... All you need are the regular game updates. There's also a link somewhere here for the TeamSpeak Overlay that is kinda nice for any game...

Hey D...

It takes some practice to get proficient with the weapons/vehicles and you'll need a short tutorial on good ways to hide and spot enemies in the game. Also, the AAS gametype will probably need a little explanation...

I highly suggest that you read Sarc's tutorials on the game. They come with pics to demonstrate some of the points. Also, in your free time play through the training missions. They will start to develop your movement and weapons skills. Alot of us have been playing this game since the first day of the demo release, so the learning curve may be a bit steep, but we'd love to show ya the ropes when you have some time to jump into the server...

--------------
Sidenote- anyone using that TS overlay yet? That is my one HUUUGE problem with the game. Whenever I don't recognize a voice on TS, if I try to Alt-Tab out, I stand a 60% chance of not being able to maximize the game back...Then I gotta close it down and reload again...very frustrating...

Ddogg, we have a pretty big game going RIGHT NOW. Come on TS, and we'll hook you up!

**=DdogG=** · 08-30-2004, 01:05 AM

well, I came in on GR a year late, so I hope I can get the hang of JO just as easy......... anyway... Im in line for play right now, hope I dont dissappoint too bad... My gf 4 mx 4000 might be a bad thing.

I almost bought this game this weekend, but I didn't meet the sys reqs. Allow me to get an opinion from players. I have the following:

14ghz amd
256mb ram
64mb geForce3 ti 500
5400 rpm drive

What are my expectations for being able to enjoy this game?

DdogG, three recommendations:

1) In AAS, spend a lot of time playing defense. Situational awareness is crucial and very difficult to get a hang of in this game. Playing defense will limit the scope of what you have to deal with and is a great way to get comfortable with weapons, roles, locations, etc.

2) Try out some coop. It is also a good way to get a hang of things, because the AI is absolutely mind-blowingly retarded. You'll build some confidence.

3) Don't expect GR and then some. It's an arcade-style game.

Hopefully I'll catch a few games with you soon!

I've got twice as much RAM as you, but otherwise we're running similar rigs. I play with everything on medium settings except for a few settings set lower. It looks OK (much better than the HL engine can do...) and plays well.
