by Maarten Goldstein, Jun 27, 2005 5:07am PDTIt didn't even take a month but the Battlefield 2 demo is already our most downloaded demo ever. Unfortunately I still haven't had time to play the full version much. The summer weather makes for very uncomfortable temperatures inside and that just drains me of any energy to play games. Still haven't seen Batman, whats wrong with me :( Also on FileShack

I had a lot of fun playing this weekend on the Shack servers, so thanks to everyone for that. I am usually very impressed by the attitudes and abilities of the players in my squad, and it makes it much much more fun to play the game when you are with dedicated squadmates.
One question I have is if there is a way to resign as squad leader without leaving a squad - sometimes I find that my squad leader has left, leaving me to lead the squad, and frankly sometimes I am simply not up to it. Is there a graceful way to pass on being squad leader ?
Another question I have is, what is the general policy on camping air vehicles and such in the game ? One particular game, I noticed a player (who shall remain nameless) was doggedly camping the spawn of the only attack chopper our team had, which he would take (regardless if others were clearly waiting before him) and basically crash immediately. It made it totally impossible to use to accomplish team objectives, and this ass-hat had 4 points at the end of the fucking match. I have no issues with people flying, and most especially I am happy to defer to anyone who is a better pilot than I (not a big accomplishment, there), but it is pretty fucking annoying to have someone who clearly needs to start up their own server and practice a bit on their own totally monopolizing an important team resource, and being a dick in the process. Is my attitude out of line here, or what?

1) Must assign a number, letter or other designation to each base. That would simply allow a squad leader to say "ok ... let's haul ass over to #2!"
2) When you point your weapon at another soldier or vehicle, it must INSTANTLY show an accurate color so you can determine friend or foe. I shot my team mates several times last night because they brought their weapon up at me and I was still waiting on their color to "appear". (Sorry!) I also had several had several occasions where I'm trying to decide whether to start shooting at a helo that is a medium distance away and it takes 5-10 seconds to get their color code to appear.
Do you guys agree or as usual, am I missing something? If so tell me ... cause I hate TKing and being TKed.

I'm in a language course that uses .ram (kill me now) files. Is there a way to convert these files to a different file format (i.e. mp3/wav ). If so, what's the best way? I already have a few mp3 codecs on my computer for use with virtuadub.
Don't mention Real Alternative or other playback methods for .ram files, I'm fine in that respect.

When the map changed on a server I was playing on it said "I was using cutomized content and please revert back to the retail BF2. " Something along those lines at least...
I haven't customized anything, so what's the deal? Anyone else get this error? The only thing I've change is I renamed the movies so I don't have to watch them in the begining.

It's a good idea from a marketing sense, cause Sony says "hey guess what you can connect your PSP to your PS3 and it'll be really nice"... the MS says "hey you can do it with us too, and ours comes out first, see you don't need to get a PS3, yay for us!"
