I swear the gaming gods didn't want me to play in this match. First time couldn't login, of course after system restore I could login but, ooops, match over. At the Rescheduled match we find AnnaBeaver with keyboard issues and becoming irritated, fortunately a good ol' fashioned smashing of the keys with a fist fixed her right up. LOL ;D Anyhoo, We so kicked butt! Not only did we kick butt and own the other team but the teams were a bit uneven, hehehe and we still whipped em! Great game guys! Congrats!

We did good in the game, but I don't think we should have any more matches until we have more than 3 players that can show up. I think we are going to need atleast 6 people so that we can have extra in case someone can't show up.

What maggot said! And what Beaver said! I have some friends in my CoD clan that play UT and I'm trying to get them to join. They're activity would improve us greatly. Also, great job guys! I noticed that we had a tendency, in Asbestos especialy, to stick together and hold a specific room. Once they got in there, game over for them. Hope that when we come to the next match, we play someone better, have that extra needed person,and kick them even harder! We are now 22nd rank on the ladder! What a jump!

It was a bit difficult at times for me to even move, let alone act as support, but I do have a standard keyboard back again rather than the cordless keyboard, I think it's a driver issue. Oooh Oooh, I also ordered myself the new Logitech MX1000 cordless Laser mouse(to replace the optical one) the one I have now works good but hopefully this new one will work great.
Also, I would like to discuss strategies for our matches or a so called, plan of action cause I just sort of darted around killing red players at will. I don't know if maybe a gameplan would be more effective or what. What do you think Mars? I think Maggot has talked me into signing up for the 1v1 ladder on TWL. We'll see how that goes. hehehe

I'm still working on my comeback. I've installed a graphics card (Radeon 9250), but my games keep crashing (well, all apart from TRON and Beyond Good & Evil, for some reason). After a reinstall they're now a bit better, but still not perfect. I don't want to get internet without being able to use it, so I'm waiting with that until I've got this figured out. Anyway... working on it!

radeon 9250 is old and outdated. Should have gone for atleast a 9700. I was also informed that an 8600 (or so, forgot what exactly it was.) outperforms the 9200 and 9250.

Strategies should be simple, just like holding a certain holdable area. I'll get to TDM strategies in our hidden forums area.

It's the very bottom section of the forums called TNT. If you log out you can't see them anymore.

Glad to hear you guys won, I've read a few reviews about the Team Warfare league. From what I read its pretty easy untill you reach the top 3 or so. DigitalBacon only needed 4 matches easily won to reach the top. Its good to hear you've secured the first clan win in the ut division.

Yeochins, are you raining on our dilusional parade? ;D LOL. Well I don't know much about radeon cards but I just got a new Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 OC. I also checked out prices for the 6800 and basically they start at like $250.00 , sigh. Someday! But make sure you have all the cards latest drivers and direct x 9.0c also I have found that not having the proper monitor driver and color profile do make a difference in performance.
Sonic, you can have my Nvidia GeForce 5200 FX AGP 128mb that I just took out to put in the new one. Its not even 8mos old yet. I do mean give, not give but give me money, I'd even ship it to you. I just wanted to have a graphics card that had a gpu fan and my new one does but the other doesn't. It wasn't due to any problems with it. I usually offer my old stuff to my mom for her pc, but she said no thanks, hers is fine for her. Let me know and I can send it to you. ;D

You want the Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT or Ultra, plain is okay. $500 USD for the Ultra and Radeon X800 XT. But you'll need that card late 2005 (december) because the next version of UT is going to come with high graphical proccessing requirements.

for a small package like that? what like $30-40.00, I'll check out ups, fed ex, and dhl rates. It couldn't be that expensive. ? I hope.
I do want to get one of the 6800's but just the other day when I had purchased this new FX 5500 OC, they had the 6800's on the end shelf of the aisle and for the basic 6800 model, it was $269.00 256mb, usually better not to purchase that stuff right off the bat anyway. Just to see if they have potential flaws/glitches etc. Hopefully by the time the new version of UT comes out the card price will have come down a bit.
