for some reason or other, today when i tried to play. i clicked on play online but no servers came up. i have source set to internet and all game filters are not ticked or corssed. i have no idea why this hapened. i have downloaded the 2.6 patch and have installed it now but it stil doesnt show any servers. plz if anyone could help me i would be very grateful
the master server is offline - had no luck either - I hope it will be fixed soon
oh, that is actually good news - a little. i thought my ET had stuffed up :S, anyway, thanks
ur german MuffinMan??? great win against portugal =D very impressive WC for germany. I’m from Australia, we were succesful but we could’ve beaten italy but very bad refs decision to give penalty with 10 seconds remaining in extra time >:-(, eveyrone in australia wants to kill cantellejo(referree)
…
um, after downloading and installing 2.60 patch, i cant find any of the old servers, is it just me or can u only play against other 2.60 users??
Without doubt, one of reasons you’re getting owned is because you don’t know the maps. Certain areas on maps are pretty much deathzones, especially those with multiple entrances. Just learning the maps will make you live longer. It may be a good idea to check them offline, there are only 6 core maps, althrough many servers use more.
If you like devastating guns, learning maps will enable you to set up mobile mg42s properly.
Usually there’s no reason not to move (or to crouch) when fighting someone.
Play dirty. You aren’t obligated required to duel with anyone. Backstabbing, ambushes, everything that’s not teamkilling or hacking the game is ok. If someone complains about abusing panzer, well, tough luck. It’s enabled on the server.
Some static MG42’s are very useful, others are badly placed. Short list of good static mg42’s:
Both MG42’s facing the bank on Gold Rush, one is very nice for axis, another for allies.
Two front MG42’s on Battery - one inside main bunker.
Fuel Dump Mg42 in fuel dump itself.
You can do nice damage with these. Others are either useless or situational. Basically others make you too exposed, or are too easy to bypass.
I think it’s best to move in small groups, one for each entrance. Big groups have problems with bottlenecks, and are vulnerable to explosives.
jewel - yes I’m german, actually I think italy was better even with some other referee they would have beaten us probably, but of course they will always have to hear doubts about that as they started the ban for Frings for that game… anyway the championship was fun and I’m really impressed that it was so peaceful, seems like everybody enjoyed it - at least I enjoyed the sight on some australian girls 
(and the swedish, argentinian and many others as well of course)

I’m not trying to sell anything for Yahoo, I’ve been using ASE since before they bought it. There are also many freeware server browsers, some of which are very good indeed. If you use Linux, try http://www.linuxgames.com/xqf/index.shtml
My point is, the in-game browser is garbage. But that’s true for most games.
