You are now watching: #69 – PC Power vs. Skill

It was a chilly night at just past midnight on Saturday. Heekwon just finished some chicken wings and a beer. Ole is hardly awake but excited to introduce a special guest on the show.

To find out what happened next, watch the show.

Oh, and we also spend a lot of time discussing the impact of powerful PCs on game play and whether Heekwon would be unstoppable on Poco Loco’s computer.

    I know the single biggest advantage I have in gaming is my 74g Raptor drive. I am one of the first in any server in BF games and Counter Strike. Whats funny is Poco Loco and I have very similiar systems except that my processor is a bit slower, an AMD X2 4600+. I would not give up my all maxed out settings for graphics on BF2.

    Heekwon just finished some chicked wings…? lol what is that?

  6. JudgementDay Says:

    Good one guys!!! I REALLY enjoyed this one!… Nothing like guys getting together talking about their computer hardware and BF2 gameplaying abilities. I liked the Heli video too… I’m going to go back and watch it again… Heekwon, we need to get a group together and record us playing for the Podcast!!!!

  7. JudgementDay Says:

    Kudos to the lower thirds!!! Hip hip hurray!! Sweet!

  8. Ole Says:

    Chicked Wings… hehe, oops. I will fix that.

  9. JudgementDay Says:

    Oh BTW Poco Loco, you did a great job!!

  10. JudgementDay Says:

    Ah Ole leave the chicked wings… It gives character, and who knows maybe you’ve started something there!!!

    “Yea, I’d like an order of Chicked Wings with extra sauce please!!”

  11. IceSoldier Says:

    Again, better and starting to head in the right direction. I’m liking the whole idea of going from bf2 one week to 2142 the next, alternating makes the show good.

    p.s. lol Ole, you guys will someway somehow forget to talk about the apache on ghostown some day.

  12. Ole Says:

    We’ll see about that… :p

  14. Firefox1948 Says:

    Ahhh sorry about previous post (hit tab and then enter by accident).

    Is it normal that when I click on the Forum tab that I get the good old website is not found screen? Are the Forums up and runnig?

    Also loved the Helo video is all that possible with Vanilla BF2. And could you give us a link to download it?

    Thanks

    this episode came out fast. i guess Ole must’ve skipped work again. glad to see everyone’s enjoying the raw and uncut version of Battlefield podcast

  16. Cr1pPl3r Says:

    Greast pod cast Guys. As far as the apache VS the Gunship its not against the Rules if you dont tell them LOL

  17. Ole Says:

    RE #14: The forums link works fine for me…

  18. Firefox1948 Says:

    Is it b/c I am using IE7?

  19. Hee Says:

    that’s true Cr1pPl3r we don’t have to tell them

  20. =ST6=rfp Says:

    Great show, lots more bf2 game talk and a lot less fluff that has been creeping in with the old format.

  21. Ole Says:

    #18: It works in IE7 as well.

  22. cctoide Says:

    Great podcast. I should note that RAM probably has a bigger impact on loading times than HD speed, since lack of RAM makes the game have to constantly switch models and textures in and out of memory and that’s where the HD speed kicks in.
    Other than that… about BF3, I should note that some “community centers” are already forming around it, there’s, for instance, the IRC channel #BF3 on irc.quakenet.org and http://www.bf3forums.com/ (not very active yet, though).
    Hopefully, assuming the PDF is true, the podcast should be getting something new to talk about come January of next year… Keep up the great work!

  23. OldMan-DK Says:

    Good show.forgotten hope 2..i cant wait

  24. Cr1pPl3r Says:

    Hee,
    I guess the real question would come down to what game do we want to port it into BF2 or 2142. LoL Let the debate commence

  25. L0NGSH0T Says:

    Hey guys, Iam digging the new raw format. Just a few diehard gamers sitting around talkin rigs, games, beer, whatever you got, sweet. I also like no adds being worked into the conversation (all right now it time to s*** some cache fly ***k), yes I know funding needs to happen but…

    thanks for all the hard work and great podcasts.

  26. MurderDogg Says:

    Pentium D 830, nvidia 7900GS, It`s my 3 Gb RAM that gives me a spawn first advantage(allbeit 533mhz ram).

  27. MurderDogg Says:

    sorry for second thought(post), but it runs better than my new quad core system. Damn Vista.

  28. JudgementDay Says:

    In my opinion some advertising is okay, as long as it doesn’t overwhelm the Podcast. Realizing that $$$ would help to improve the technical side of things.

    was that freshness or was that freshness

    I find on low settings theres less coverage and such, but with high settings i can see farther and see shadows. I mostly snipe so i kind mix up settings up to what works i dont crank everything low or high.

    AMD x2 Dual core 5000
    2 GB Ram
    320 Seagate HD w/ 32mb cache
    nVidia Geforce 8600

  31. Annihilatorape Says:

  32. Ole Says:

    I have no idea. Does iTunes offer you the option of converting it to your ipod?

  33. wuz Says:

    ye, i hav the same problem, xD, i just didnt say anything cos i hough it wer just me. But ye, you can convert it anyway.

  34. Annihilatorape Says:

    why does the download go to another page then says downloading in the bottom left of internet explorer but never does anything.

  35. Ole Says:

    I don’t have that problem #34…

  36. Ole Says:

    I assume you guys are having problems with the video getting on the ipod, or the mp3?

  37. wuz Says:
