MPUK Clan

[Boffykins]

Who's up for creating an MPUK clan?

We've got a good team by my reckoning, Wizzo and FearHawk commanding, Mav in the air, and people seem to be getting the hang of the tanks and also AA fire :)

<Elbonio> the key to a sucessfull clan is starting it up when the game comes out

Damn right, Elbonio. This game isn't even out yet, and still there seem to be organised clans and tournaments on the way. We need to strike whilst the grenade is hot, people.

Wizzo is ok with it being branded (ouch!) MPUK, and I'm sure we will have lots of memebers, seeing how popular it is amongst us all, especially at StratLAN.

Also, we need to have Voice Comms. I am really surprised it isn't built into the game, but it looks like it's Roger Wilco, BattleCom or the other one (Base station something?) for us.

So, post below if you're interested. Remember, the MPUK BF1942 server is always up, 212.42.1.245, default port, password candle.

See? we even have our own clanserver for practice \o/

BTW, first post :) :) :D

[Idylla]

no mpuk gaming team ever has stuck at the game for a period of time greater than a month,

if you could pull it off i'd be impressed but tbh we are all too busy people to play games to this level online.

ta.

[Elbonio]

im in.. and as for time - an an unemployed student on a gap year... i don think there's a single person in the world who has any more time than me...

Has any game ever received such a response from MPUK though? You were at StratLAN, you witnessed how big this game was. Like I say, we have a strong team, i reckon we could do quite well. Possibly. Maybe. About as well as the staff in the Boat race anyway ;)

[Dizzie]

I 0wned just on my 56k. 130 ping :D

[Boffykins]

So that's a Yes then?

[Dizzie]

I've got nothing better to do :D

[Gifted]

i spent the whole of last weekend on it!!

OMG it sooooo good"!!!!


im in!

[lyn]

Are you allowing girlies in? If so can i join?

[WildThing]

Me and a few m8s are gunna set up a clan i think of about 16 people to cover for all maps. Yes girlies will be more than welcome if we ever get round to getting everything done. Look out for 'WildThing' or '<WAF>WildThing' on EABFEC (something like)servers cuz its me. Heh.Maybe try out the MPUK server later.

Now time for college. :(

[Rmage]

I`m up for a MPUK clan stick my name down, I'll be on the server tonight (wednesday) to own you all with my tank (engineer) skills.

Who put Mav in charge of the Airforce, MR friendly Fire himself :D

[Big Giant Head]

yeah I suppose I'll be in if you need a half decent piece of cannon fodder

[- Maverick -]

Im in :)

And rmage I have actually improved on telling the difference between the enemy and my team. So now every bomb will hit the right target, well almost every bomb,

:D

[Big Giant Head]

mav you always hit what you meant to, just because you thought that troop on the ground was an enemy doesn't mean it wasn't a nice shot ;)

[Say_Ten]

Just keep him on the Allies side and it'll add realism.

[afty]

Count me in, sir.

This is the first shoot em up game I've played in about 2 YEARS which has really captured my attention.

IMO if we're going to do this properly, we should find out who's interested then assign some responsibilities... General (overall commander), Secretary (Fixtures / Website Content), Colonel(s) (On the day tactics) etc... just to make it a bit of fun.

Also, a website with ranks is very inkeeping with the games theme. If I get a spare hour I'll knock something up in Photoshop today.

Oh, and we *need* an MPUK "flag"...

[Wizzo]

I give my bazooka to the collective :)

[Say_Ten]

Depending on time permitting I'll play a medic :)

[bvark]

I agree, this is one of the first games since CS that has REALLY blown me away, and I can't really put my finger on it; it's a bit like MOH:AA/Tribes2 with a 'Blizzard-esque' gameplay polish (i.e. nothing new but plays well).

Afty, I looked through my list of ranks, and I didn't say 'Secretary' in the list.... I think we'd want an adjutant :)

I will volunteer to be a colonel, and take special responsibility for naval discipline (GET OUT OF THE CARRIER YOU LAZY ****S!).

I will give a training course in successful tank HALOing as well (record last night: 9 jumps, 6 landings ON the tank, 2 within 3 seconds walk, 1 where I had to kill the current occupant and get in).

Oh, and http://www.atdot.at/images/bfc-sl10.jpg

Voice comms wise, gamevoice 0wns j00

I would but have no time :)

On voice comms though, DO NOT use wilco if you possibly can help it - it is in fact a piece of crapola.

battlecom is good but you can't set up a seperate constant running server on linux or whatever, if that flicks your switch.

I would highly recommend TeamSpeak though - http://www.teamspeak.org/

give it a go
there's a client program and a server.
Have fun and gg :)

P.S. You'll all be dropping this game like a brick in water once Breed comes along! :)

[afty]

OK, I think we have an amount of interest now that makes this worth pursuing.

I'm assuming that our venerable BoffBowsh would like to take the Armchair of "Commander in Chief"?

May I suggest the following ranks/positions:

Commander-In-Chief - Final say on all policy decisions.
General - Overall strategic command. Tactics and strategy for maps. Expected to research map tactics on the web, and prepare MPUK plans for battle.
Colonel - At least one per game. Handles one or more aspects in game.
Sarge - Team leaders in game. I'm assuming BF1942 will work well with squads assigned, Colonels are expected to give objectives to sergeants, sergeants will then decide on minutiae (like weapon loadout, where to go, when etc).
Adjutant - Responsible for out-of-game comms. Mailing list, website etc.


bvark : will the rest of you dodgy foreigners be joining us in this little foray into team based gaming? A strong landborne backbone of bfc would be a good addition to the forces.




MEN. ATTEN-HUT. Report for duty at the barracks NAAAH YOO 'ORRIBLE LITTLE SCROATS.

[Gifted]

this sounds great!!!!

i played DOD for ages and was in a good clan there! but this game simply rocks!!

i dont mind havin a go at the site if you want! my dod one is here

www.clanbgf.btinternet.co.uk

think we need a good address though!!

and i think gamevoice is very good for voice comms !!

gotta make sure most members not on 56k though! its just unplayable! i on ISDN and it still only just about ok by my standards! net code needs work! but im sure it will be fixed.

[Boffykins]

Thank you afty, i am most honoured to accept this post.

As for squad-based play, i agree, having sargeants to co-ordinate individual squads is an excellent idea. Taking Wake Island as an example, You could have 3 squads (assuming 10 a side) and at the start as allies, you have a Rapid Reaction Jeep-based force to go an recover lost capture points, an airbourne squadron (Maverick, you are sargeant, you don't HAVE a choice) and a team to go and actively attack the incoming landing craft. All in all, it should work fine.

Wizzo: Any space on that gorgeous telehouse server o' joy for a small website for us? We need somewhere to coordinate ourselves :)

Any graphic and web monkeys, can we have a little flag for us please?

Also, anyone know the command line option to automatically connect to a game? I'd love to just double-click an icon on the desktop and be in the MPUK server :)

[JeRkY]

ill apply 4 mpuk bf clan...need to reinstall it...my system is ridden with virus's DAMN KAZA!!!!!

[Gifted]

that would be nice!! i look into it tonight!!

would we be able to upload onto some webspace in MPUK then??

not just saying this but i think this game will last a VERY long time!! and if we get coordinated at the very start then by the time other clans are popping up all over the place we gonna be well established!

[SmartMonkey]

oh' this sounds good, let me know when people are playing. I do like using the anti-aircraft guns, also If you can get them to depress low enough the anti-aircraft guns are quite handy against tanks!

[Rmage]

If you want an address for this game I own www.BF1942.uk.com
Also [url]www.multiplaygaming.com

[afty]

Excellent. I shall be working on concepts for a website over the forthcoming days.

Anyone wants to contribute, afty at multiplay dot co dot uk is the email address to send anything to.

I'll probably just start with news and a members roster or something... can we confirm Wizzo to provide hosting at bf1942.multiplay.co.uk on a Windows NT/2k server wtih ASP and MySQL database plz thx gg wp

[Unter_hosen]

if mav is gonna fly then for **** sake hit THE OTHER TEAM and as for bvark and his .KFC. crew (hehe)

we will be victorious and they will die

[Njoroge]

Given that the BFCs just detroy all your bitch asses at BF1942 I guess most of us are in. I certainly am.

If last night's 216 - 0 victory is anything to go by - we can play. I are teh ground infantry / jeep driver.

What was it bvark? 3 games, 30 mins .BFC. 1, 2, 3 in all games. All complete victories?

so much fun.

so much p0wnage

Hey! Hey you....

[- Maverick -]

Well im happy to take the position of sargeant of the Air. Trouble is I have noticed some of the maps dont have aircraft, IE the single player demo. So im learning tactics with the engineer and mine laying,

Ive noticed the net code anit that bad for the game online so bombing runs are still as accurate as normal.

Looks like we have a Bf1942 to clan then :p

[Wizzo]

hosting will be no problem... bring it on :)

[afty]

Website will be up in a few days to get members interested.

16 players per team so I hear, so we need a squad of at *least* 32.. for practices, and to ensure we can always field a team.

If anyone hears different from 16, LMK.

[Gifted]

well i think there must be about 16 people already shown interest JUST today!!

dont think we gonna have a problem with numbers are we!!

be on the server tonight :)
whats it pinging at the moment???

ill be on 64k ISDN although i sorting out 128K soon

Final game is 64 players, but practicality wise it is going to be 16 aside for any clan games probably less if you put in an observer.

There are not many clans I know who could muster 32 players at anyone time.

A 32 a side tourney would be possible at a Lan, but 16 is practical to start with.

[- Maverick -]

Think we are gonna need an IRC room aswell

[Boffykins]

I am now situated in #[mpuk]bf1942 on quakenet

[Boffykins]

Calling all [MPUK] BFers!!! Friendly match tonight at 8PM on the MPUK server against #fantastic.bf! I'll be a little late, so Maverick is acting Commander, although he seems a bit reluctant, so if you feel you're up to it, talk to him and he may relinquish his duties to you :)

Go team! Meet you on the beach!

Server=212.42.1.245
Password=candle

[Boffykins]

Anyone who can play tongiht, list yourselves below, and we'll try and work out some squads and Sarges

[Rmage]

Yep I`m ok for tonight
Armour/Engineer support at the ready

[Zakalwe]

.BFC.Zakalwe signing on!

Hand me that King's Shilling my man - I'll take the post of commander of the MPUK SAS (rapid reaction force) and plotter in chief of the dirty tricks department...

Members of the SAS will be identifiable by their tendency to parachute into villages and kill 5 people in a row - 2 SMG, 2 pistol and finished with the knife HITHANKHUGH!

We've also been known to take down tanks with specially trained badgers and are proficient in all forms of combat and all vehicle types (/me points to the three-pass solo sinking of the carrier medal on his medal-strewn chest)

It will be an honour to fight with alongside the MPUK crew for their greater glory.

Seriously, this game rocks and it will be nice to hand some down to other Pe0n gamers with our vast SL10 experience behind us.

[AcidUK]

I would be interested in playing for an MPUK bf1942 clan :)

[KBB]

i wont play tonight, but ill get my pc all sorted for it soon, and ill join u for some leet gaming :D

[10acious]

And meh ffs!
Im Mr.Assualt and Wizzo why Bazooka? Its far too slow and doesn't hurt infantry as much as it shud do.

I propose some trials on sunday night or something. If i play ill be on 1mb connection so you'll definitely have quality pings out of meh. Heh.

BAZOOKA?!

[10acious]

a bazooka is ridiculously useful against vehicles espeacially armoured ones and when backed up by an assualt team theyre in buisness

its all about teamwork and every role has an important part

[afty]

GG tonights lads, well played. Twas fun.

[Cheez]

Add me to teh list! i just got battlefield working (woot) and seem to be able to connect to all servers except the mpuk one. are you sure its the default port?

Yes, you just have Win98 and no skillz. Try tweaking your router o' joy?

[RK[CLL]]

what is the full ip (inc port), cos I couldnt connect to it either

[Big Giant Head]

for some reason I couldn't get the "add server" button to work for the mpuk server but if I update and find it on the list then join it, it works

most odd...

[Boffykins]

Well, we seemed to 0wn them last night, in gameplay and in numbers :)

Shame i was always on the losing team

Wizzo says he'll set up a TeamSpeak server on one of the Telehouse servers of pleasure :)

[afty]

Pray tell, where do I obtain this "TeamSpeak" product thou hast forced upon me verily? And lo...

[Boffykins]

LOL Afty. Ye be able to obtain said product from thine site named www.teamspeak.net.

Either that or the old Gamevoice, guvnor

[afty]

Thanks. Web site is just about ready to go. Just banging some content on there today or tonight.

[Hebe]

Where can i get this game.. havent seen MPUK this enthousiatic since the release of allegiance.

Since i got NTL, and if i like the game, im into getting myself online again..

[Big Giant Head]

[afty]

Whooohoo. Go Hebe. Whip me hunney. yeah, like that. yeah. yeah.

We should beer sometime soon :)

[Mingtea]

Quite possibly the best part of this game is running jeeps into people.

Or is that just me?

[BugAlugs]

Such Joy, but then I played War3 again and I regained control of my senses.

[Eskimo]

I will get ISDN just to play this game online if needs be!

I mean look at Muldoon, he is "all round"

[VexedMightily]

I'll bite. Don't have a lot of time, but if you need a sort of all rounder / grunt wiv'a'gun, and I'm around, I'll play.

Can't make tonight at 8 though, may make it later!

[Elbonio]

can we compile a list of people who are "in"?

if we get organised now, then by the 10th we can start practicing

[Elbonio]

Should we organise some sort of structure? someone who is "in charge" needs to delegate some work to people to get this thing off the ground becuase by the looks of things we have some serious quality players here and it would be a shame not to see this clan get going....

this game will be sweet

[*Tsunami*]

We all gonna buy the best game of the year!!

Whats that then???

Halo ?? Mafia ?? UT2003 ?? :rolleyes:

[Big Giant Head]

I have to say BF1942 has impressed me more than all of the above

time will tell I guess though

[Eskimo]

ok....

Halo = Half Life clone, good but limited multiplayer and gehy x box.

Mafia = aint tried it but its single player right?

UT2003 = .....omg how many times has this been done. It could be a good game and itll look sweet but..... how can anyone justify giving a purely DM game game of the year....





1942 = Instantly playable, Runs fast on most machines, good net code for 56kers, TEAM GAME WITH TACTICS!, you all played it at stratlan then alot of peeps played it at dreamlan right after and didnt get bored. and thats only one map and one set of planes boats etc...

[Gifted]

ditto the above :D

[andyf]

Please can I be added to clan mpuk kthxbye

[*Tsunami*]

OMG ppl take games so seriously :)

BF1942 is obviously better than the other games Ive mentioned.

UT2003??? ... Mmmm i'll wait to see what my ping is like in the demo if/when it comes out.

[Devvy]

I would like to render my services available for the MPUK clan. All round grunt reporting for service as 10 put it.

[Cerberus]

Can i offer my services to the goodness that is MPUK.

[BatWick]

i'll have a try

[Silk75]

I would like to apply for the position of Medic O' Pain in this wonderful game.

Can also play as an Anti-Tanker, rah to the power of my panzerfist.

We need to be able to co-ordinate the scout binocular/destroyer heavy guns option to make artillery support more viable.

Hey DTK, it's coming up to one YEAR of Clan MPUK BF1942 goodness, which I think is longer than one month.

Yes, well done for ressurecting one of the oldest threads on the forum and possibly causing total confusion of the BF1942 board.
