I just love running people down. It's easier than shooting at them. Plus I tend to drive over people in the Warthog when playing Halo. So it carries over.

One thing I hate about BF, though... just ONE thing. It just randomly seems to jump me from one team to another, in mid-freakin map, for no reason, and then won't let me go back. Happened to Tori a few times too. Wtfy?

Auto-team-balancing. It's a server-side option, people turn it on because it prevents lopsided games.

If the teams become unbalanced, then the next person to die, gets moved. It doesn't matter how good/bad you do, if you're the lucky SOB that dies, you get moved.

Earlier this morning I was in a jeep and hoping the enemy in the tank in front of me was a lousy shot. He was, and I drove to his side only to run over three of his buddies that thought they were safe if they were next to a tank.

God I love this game. I hope I can get the full version soon.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Server's back up. I made some changes, though.

Whenever you shoot a teammate, it will deal only 50% damage to them, but will also deal 50% damage to you. Moral of the story is : Watch your shots.

Oh, and Bajah, I do NOT have auto-balancing on on my server, so you shouldn't have problems being switched from team to team to team if you play there

Depends on where you ram it...

Ram it from the sides or behind, and it'll be hurt but not dead.

Ram it from the front, and you'll hardly notice.

Explosive Packs are insanely fun.

And I highly doubt anyone can be credited with being "The first" . It's common sense, You want to blow up the tank, but don't want it to move away from the explosives, and want it to hit the most sensitive spot (the back).

Dad's going to kill you. Really. He is.

What Fal means, Lashy, is 'toss the bombs in the back of the jeep' and drive the jeep near the tank, then blow the detpacks.

Actually, if the jeep is coming down a hill and hits the tank dead-center in the front it will destroy it.

You have to kamikaze it, though.

Tried it. Tank going towards jeep full speed, jeep going towards tank full speed, head-on, tank only took 1/2 damage. Side, and it was on fire (IE : About to explode).

Rear took it out instantly.

Of course, it's balanced by the fact that one shot from the tank, head on, can destroy a jeep INSTANTLY, or at least knock it around a bit. Machine gun can take it out fast too.

I just enjoy jeeps for the fact that you can get somewhere fast. And it's fun to drive as recklessly as possible without blowing up/flipping.

It only happened when Vorago logged on. OMG! VORAGO IS A HAXXOR!!! (Kidding!)

Check who's on your server. This really sucks, I was just playing with D (He's an awesome pilot btw.) and hit esc when the game summary came up, then disconnected, and quit.

I don't think it's because of my server. Try mine again, if it gives you the error, try another, see if it happens on multiple servers. I think it's like WON, where you can't join ANY server if the key is in use.

I joined another dedicated server, and it loaded fine. Yours still gives the CD key in use error.

Dunno then. Maybe it'll be fixed when I reboot the server for the game. I didn't do anything different on my end, than I normally do, so if anything changed, it's from the players who joined.

And since I can't view who's connected, remotely, looks like you may be SOL until I get home.

Blame idiots with keygens, not EA or anyone legit.

At least Dice is doing a LOT more to try to track those users down than most other game companies.

I have the recipt, box, and CD case right in front of me.

Damnit. I'll bet that via some farflung bug, Delphi is stuck on Khyron's server (Even though I turned my computer off, including my DSL modem for five minutes, then back on again) and is the reason I'm getting the error.
Otherwise, I dont know what to do, since the "Tech support" at Battlefield1942.ea.com is practically nonexistant.
