This reminds me of that ad where the sales motivational speaker compares them to wild dogs nabbing the elusive customer.

Nice site - thanks Robin.

I didn't know whether to add another thread - TG can move this if required:

In:
C:\Documents and Settings\Stoke\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\General.con

Replace 0001 with the profile you're playing with - 0002, 0003, 0004 ...
And - obviously - stoke should be your Windows Username !

Look for :
GeneralSettings.setServerFilter ""

Add Underneath:
GeneralSettings.addFavouriteServer "196.4.79.20" 29900 "-= SGS BF2 RANKED I Server =-"
GeneralSettings.addFavouriteServer "196.4.79.31" 29900 "-= SGS BF2 RANKED II URBAN Server =-"
GeneralSettings.addFavouriteServer "196.4.79.26" 29900 "-= SGS BF2 RANKED III Server =-"
GeneralSettings.addFavouriteServer "196.4.79.6" 29900 "-= SGS BF2 SPECIAL FORCES RANGED Server =-"
GeneralSettings.addFavouriteServer "196.4.79.28" 29900 "-= SGS BF2 RANKED URBAN 2/CLAN Server =-"

In:
C:\Documents and Settings\Stoke\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001\Audio.con

There's an option "AudioSettings.setVoipUsePushToTalk 1"

Change it to "AudioSettings.setVoipUsePushToTalk 0"

VOIP will kick in when the threshhold is reached [that mic tuning thing in the audio setup screens].

Ooohhh Stoke - Thanks a million - I'll try that VOIP thing which should then free up an extra mouse button !!

My tip for the day: (which everyone probably knows)

When in and APC, aim for enemy infantry feet - that way the splash takes them out in about 2 shots. Also when in a tank when firing the shell - aim for the feet or floor/wall/roof next to where they are hiding - normally only takes 1 shot if blast is close enough ...

@bass ... dude - don't use it if you've suddenly aquired the need to sneeze or cough ... it kinda pisses off the other squad members.
Well - if you have a mute'able mike then all is ok - I don't [yet].
But - yea - just shouting - Watchout doobie - behind you - is sooo easy and makes communicating a breeze.

Didn't help my reaction times though

[Bass]

Have done this & it seemed to work well - Sabre I played quite a bit with you this afternoon - how was comms from me ?

I played around with the threshold setting, but don't know if it made much difference ...

Nice not having to press a button to chat though (although there were a few coughs & sneezes that came through..) !!

[Sabre]

Comm was fine Bass, I'm thiking of doing the voice activated thing too, but I'd be swearing too much when I get fragged again
