Yum.

Dammit, where were you 2 weeks ago. I was looking for a higher quality/larger sized version of that photo for a photoshop competition that we run on another car forum that i am a member of.

Here's my chop of it that i did, pretty simple

Hyperactive, please don't take this as an intimidating post, but how do you know these things?

I'm just trying to get a grasp on the situation of some "S2 Licenced" people knowing more about what's going on with the game then other "S2 Licenced" people. Are there some S2 people that are involved in the updates of LFS?

Oh, over here we use the word "gimp" in a derogatory sense. Usually means low intelligence/hand eye coordination.

Anyway, firefox has built in download manager which depending on the source you're downloading from, has pause & resume options for downloads.

Firefox ftw

You buy BF2... then you download the updates. Which i think the latest one is a little over 300mb worth. The only expansion back for BF2 is Special Forces (afaik). You don't need SF.. there are plenty of servers for just normal BF2.

A friend of mine still plays and he claims that they've fixed the sniper rifle. He says he just sits up on hills and snipes all game, he loves it, he's a whore.

The easiest way to get a sticker is to google image search for it.

"Apexi Sticker" brings up hundreds of matches, just as an example.

^^ that's also a good suggestion. Much easier then putting a label in the picture somewhere.

Quote from Taavi(EST) :my dad would have laughed his head off if i had asked him for the money, he never buys me games, lol, actually he still doesn't know i bought it , i just collected the money from the weekly pocket money, took me 5 months

I'm sure stories like that warm the hearts of the devs nice goin. I forget how hard it was to save money when i was young.

Cool, thanks guys/girls.

That's pretty much what i've been doing, just looking for text (gets a bit blurry @ 512x512 low quality jpeg, sometimes hard to read) and looking at the name of the file. Generally also if it has a number anywhere on the car then i assume that's a team number so i leave those too.

Oh well, if people start putting something on the skin that's easily identified to say it's private then that's good. Up to the individual if they want to to do so. I know i'm going to, just to have that extra bit of security.

Cheers

Quote from MAGGOT :Just different spellings, same meanings. Someone who gets called a noob may not be a noob at all, they just might be uninformed.

Noob means new person.

New person -> Newie/Newy -> Newb -> Newbie -> Nooby -> n00b.

I believe that's the path the word went down, or close enough too, anyway.

Then again, you can have people that have been playing a game for 6 months and still suck. That doesn't make them a noob, because they aren't new. They just suck. So you call them a "suck", i guess.

lol.

Downshift, are you talking about anti-lag? If so, please stop, it gets people so angry here Arrgghhh my head hurts! :shhh:

Quote from george_tsiros :Can someone, honestly, give me an explanation why even people with serious car improvements stick the brand names on the doors?

Do they get a discount when they get them installed, or something?

Generally, no.

They put the stickers on the side of their cars to show off. "oooh look i have HKS parts in my engine" when in reality, they probably have a HKS radiator cap or something crap like that.

When it comes to proper racing it's a different story. Sponsors pay the person to put their sticker on the side of their race car. The sponsor gets advertising and the car owner gets money.

Some good points raised. After reading the entire thread:

Labelling Private Skins
Shinanigans
S2 licensed
Ahoyhoy,

I don't know if this has been brought up or not but i thought i'd make a suggestion on people making their skins and distributing them.

If the skin is a private/team skin, can there be some kind of standard text/label that is put on the skins to say that it's for private use only?

I've rummaged through my skins_x folder to see what cool skins are resting on my hard drive and i've moved a few over to the skins folder, but i've only moved ones that dont have any signs of a team skin on them. But i don't want to accidently use peoples private skins.

So would be good if there was some kind of label people put somewhere on the skin to say it's for private use only. Something as simple as "PRIVATE" slapped on the windscreen or something like that.

I think the only point of having changable parts is if you have to win races in order to upgrade. Otherwise, as tristan said, it'll just be people selecting the best parts anyway.

However, if LFS were to go slightly more indepth with race winnings (i know the stats system is detailed enough to do so) and started to offer things like aftermarket gearboxes which shift better and are stronger (does LFS start intoducing synchro failure? What if you shift without a clutch and drop a gear?)

I think the fate of performance upgrades lies on the possibility of a rewards system.

Yeah, well said Funnybear.

I don't think there is a game in existence that contains as many wankers as BF2 does.... but that's just the nature of the game.

Expect to cop so many bullets in the back of the head from your team mates whilst you run towards an available chopper... because, hey, you were about to take THEIR chopper illepall It's one of the reasons i wanted to stop playing BF2. So many asswipes.

But, the battlefield beckons me. It's so damn addictive. To be able to parachute out your bomber jet at mach 1 and then land in an abrahms tank, shoot a few troops, quickly bail out and jump on an AA gun and take out a chopper then run over to a jeep and run over a few enemies whilst being chased by an APC is just the recipe for a never ending amount of things to do and awesome online fun

I miss Blackhawk whoring I got 220 points in one round BH whoring. For those that don't know, you average around 40-60 points per round if you're a half decent player!
