Hey everyone.  
Up until now, my entire work (with the help of server co-owner Rolyatckinmai) has been about organizing the community, listing names and IDs, creating groups and platoons for everyone to join, and most importantly, maintaining, admining and updating our two Giant Bomb Conquest 64 servers.  
 

The Events

Bombing Runs:

• 8 pm UTC (UK) for the European players on the UK server 
• 6:30 Pacific for the North American players on the US server

Community Wars (NA vs. EU players):

Schedule & Message Center:

Voice Chat:

• IP = ny.eoreality.net

Top Players

Nice work! And great that you finally got the game:D

Now I just got to finish Skyrim so I can focus more on BF3 again.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, the GB BF group lives. Goddamned Skyrim and its nongunshootingness. That game doesnt even have guns. Hope to see more people online and take part in more deep discussions about the humanity and the cosmos and shit.

Nice! Those nights are perfect! Glad we have a schedule now so that I don't feel terrible for wanting to play Skyrim and not BF3.

Yea Skyrim came at the wrong time I'd like to get back to BF3 asap. Good work.

I am not listed in Top players, your charts are all wrong.

The community wars are gonna be great, Might i Suggest that everyone who is going to participate changes their clantag for this event to either EU or NA beforehand so it's easier to get everyone on the right team.

And she rises again!  w000!  Fully looking forward to fully kicking your European asses this Saturday.  And yes, that was a full-on Bill and Ted reference.

So, are the NA players going to play as US and the EU players playing as the Russians?

Great job. I'll try my best to join in the fun.

Nyce, now I just need a new pc so I could actually play the game.

Top player, woo!

Looking forward to all the games.

Too much Skyrim!

Great! Been itching for some more BF3 for a while now. This should re-focus our little community.
 
Thanks for your hard work arranging this Ahmad! 

This is awesome! I won't be able to participate in the EU vs NA thingy though as it is way too late for me having work the next morning, but good luck my EU brethren.

If you want to participate in tonight's Community War (13 hrs 30 mins), change your clantag (temporarily) to either GBNA (Canada, US, South America) or GBEU (rest of the world!) 

Damn, must play some more on the US server, then I will be in the top 10 on both of them! *Mohahaha!*

I will be joining the community war tonight, prepare your stingers!

Gunnin' for that #1 spot.

1 hour 30 until we teach the US how to wage war - WE AINT LOSING ON OUR HOME TURF DAWGS!!

Was quite fun when it started out, but team balance gone right out of the window after one side lost most rounds by a small margin. The population obvioulsy followed suite.

Sooooo. Who won?

EU.

@gpbmike: decidedly it was the euros.

Where there even enough people to play? The counter on "gametracker" for the NA server still shows that there haven't been more than about six or eight people on the server ever since 11/11/11.

@Branthog: yeah it got into the 40's or so for about 90 minutes

Woho, just saw that I passed Darksaw on the UK server during the community war. Let's celebrate this with cake!

Jesus I can't seem to get a fucking break!  
First the game takes two weeks to arrive, then when it arrives my 22'' monitor fries and I'm using an 18'' one, now the game crashes every 10 minutes, and when it goes without crashing (because of the fixes I applied that sometimes work), my INTERNET DISCONNECTS SPORADICALLY because apparently my phone line got recently fucked.
 
Fuck this, really, it's like someone up above doesn't want me to fucking play the game.

@AhmadMetallic:

Somewhere between Seine Crossing and Demanvand Peak teams were no longer competitively matched. The server emptied out quickly enough.

They're gonna need it.

Guess we didn't!

@AhmadMetallic: Do you have any sort of overclock on your graphics card? I've read about a lot of people that have factory overclocked cards that isn't stable in BF3 so they had to either underclock it to stock speed or up the Voltage some. And some Nvidia cards have a new BIOS that fixes some crashes in BF3, just check the website for the brand you have.

@AhmadMetallic: Well, my game has started crashing quite a lot lately. But it pretty much only happens when I'm joining a game. First time it crashes roughly 10-15 seconds after I press join game, second time it just dies for no reason at all and if I'm unlucky it freezes just before the loadout screen. After those crashes I can usually play without any problem. I hope they can find the problem soon.

Thanks for keeping this up! I've been on a vacation in Skyrim, but I'm looking to get back into some BF3 entertainment! Gotta get ready for Wake Island!!

Thanks to all the dedicated GiantBomb & Tested community members!
