New Division!!

Post by **Archangelus** » Mon Jan 27, 2003 11:03 am

We are opening a new division in PHX for Battlefield 1942. Until it gets up and running with a division leader, I will assume responsibility (no, I'm not leaving SOF2 or UO....).

PHX Members, contact me with a Private Message if you are interested in playing in this division. If things progress, we will look into having our own server, like we do in SOF2.

Thanks Arch!

I really, REALLY love this game.

I have not played it much because its "feels" different than SOF2 and I don't want to mess up my flow in SOF just yet.

But BF1942 will be around for a long time only getting better with each patch. Also the system requirements are a bit steep for alot of people.

So, I know in time, we are all gonna love this game because there's just SO much coolness to the game, especially in a clan!

I mean lets be honest, stalking around in a group of tanks, while your buddies provide air support, all the while trying to dodge artillery fire from a battleship ...

I'd be interested in this...I've got the game, and play it with some non-clan buddies every now and then.

UNDEAD

You may want to reconsider picking up that GeForce4 MX

They are as fast as a GeForce3 Ti200.

Even the Radeon 8500 can spank the MX. (not sure if this is true with the GF4 MX 460)

For a few bucks more you should be able to find a GF4 4200 or a Radeon 9000 pro.

The real reason comes down to lack of features within the chipset. Without going into too much detail, read this from John Carmack, programmer for DOOM III :

"Nvidia has really made a mess of the naming conventions here. I always
thought it was bad enough that GF2 was just a speed bumped GF1, while GF3 had
significant architectural improvements over GF2. I expected GF4 to be the
speed bumped GF3, but calling the NV17 GF4-MX really sucks.

GF4-MX will still run Doom properly, but it will be using the NV10 codepath
with only two texture units and no vertex shaders. A GF3 or 8500 will be
much better performers. The GF4-MX may still be the card of choice for many
people depending on pricing, especially considering that many games won't use
four textures and vertex programs, but damn, I wish they had named it
something else."

Back to XoR not knowing what hes talking about.... listen i have a VR Kyro II. Ever heard of it? If u havent, im not surprised. Its a piece of shit. Heck, its worse than shit. There a very few games that support it. So when some1 is willing to give up a GF4 and all i have to do is pay the shipping and handling, thats a fucking good deal. PLlus, that card is probably like 150$ bucks up North and ill be paying is around 15$. So dont ruin this for me. Once i get a job and make money, ill buy whatevers the best out there.

UM, I have a GeForce 4 MX 440. I love it. Is it the best card on the market? Hell no, but I got it for $100 and it plays pretty much anything I want and makes it look good.

Do what you got to do man!! Get the card, pop 'er in, and get gamin!!

You are all absolutely right.

I admit I was wrong. I sometimes forget that I am willing to shell out $400 on a video card.(yikes) I always make fun of stuff lightheartedly like celerons and the like. So please don't take offense.

I just want people to be happy, and If I have 1 hiccup or jerky blip I get mad. Not everyone is like this.

And don't get me wrong, you'll have fun no matter what you get over a Kyro. (sigh, and yes I have heard of this).

Don't worry UNDEAD, I'm not trying to ruin anything for you.

I was just suggesting my opinion if you had money in hand to walk into a store (which is what I thought you were going to do).
