I was just complaining to Blitz about how I wish I could play BF2 with
a bunch of people I knew and trusted because I was sick of jumping into
the gunner seat and having the pilot promptly fly the chopper into the
ocean...

So I realized I have Xfire and maybe some of you guys do too. If
we used it to meet up and play games with each other maybe we could
finally live out our fantasy of landing on the roof of the hotel in
Gulf of Oman with a transport chopper and setting up shop... as a
snarkpit squad.

If you have Xfire and this sounds like a good idea to you, my name is buckshotenema and
you should add me, so we can play a game or two together. This is
by no means limited to just BF2. The games I've been playing the
most recently are (in this order) CS:S, BF2, WoW.

Others can use this to connect for HL2:DM and other popular
games. I just thought we needed some place to compile a list of
Xfire usernames to get the snarkpit crew gaming together. I can
edit this post later to include all the names as you guys post them.

At the risk of sounding like an advertiser: if you don't have Xfire, maybe you should check it out. www.xfire.com

Mount up!

Edit: I realized should probably
elaborate a little bit about what xfire is. Basically it's a fully
functional version of the steam friends
feature. It's like AIM or MSN in the sense that you can message
people (both in and out of games). The in game messaging is
seamless. A new message will pop up rather unobtrusively in the
corner (without booting you out of the game or anything jarring like
that) and you can choose to respond or ignore it. Friends can
see what games you're playing, and at which server, and with a
right-click
can jump right in and join you. I think it's a really good tool
for someone who wants to keep playing with people they know. At
first I was skeptical about the program, I didn't really trust it to do
what it promised, but I'm pretty sold now.

Hmph, I'll check it out. The main problem for me, is that nobody
else seems to be in the same time zone. For example, when you
posted this, it was 2 A.M. for me. Of course, I don't know when
it was for you, but you get my point.

However, if it could work, I'd love to do it. I know only too
well what you describe in the choppers. It normally forces me to
fly, when I wanna gun.

Oh well, sounds cool if we can get it up.

Yeah, it was 2AM when I posted, I'm on the East Coast USA.

Sounds like we can defintely meet up and play together if you check out Xfire.

It is going to be hard coordinating with all the European players, but
I find myself on at odd hours (for example, its noon EST and I'm
already home from work) so it's definitely possible.

I'm zombieloffe, as always, if any european fewl feels like playing BF2.

That program is giving me headaches though.

I'll just add everyone who posts here, if you don't mind.
I came for the great service - but I stay for the extra leg space. ZombieLoffe.

friends.

EDIT: Alright, I just invited everyone on this

In case anyone else wanted another reason to get Xfire, I forgot to
mention that it keeps track of time played, for both the past 7 days,
and all time. I thought that was almost the best feature. I
always used to wonder how much I actually played. Now the scary
truth Xfire has revealed to me is I have the time to work two full time
jobs if I wanted, instead of just one.

I'll be DrGlass when I get my new computer, but I still think it would be better to just us the in game voice, so you could talk with the commander and if you invited some random cool person into your squad then you could also talk to them.

Xfire isn't a voice comm thing. It's just a messenger, friends / stats tracker.

I don't really play it much anymore, but I will if we get
together. I have no beef with CS:S and think it's a great game if
you don't play with a bunch of yahoos.

If you like CS:S though, you should get Plan of Attack. It's like CS, only better, more strategic, with less idiots.
