I'm jumping on the server now to try to get some Saturday night action going! Come on guys!

Yep. The server is on 2.47 now so you wouldn't be able to connect if you're running 2.46. It's the first patch using that update feature in that new launcher that came in 2.46 so it's just as easy as starting the game through the launcher and then it prompts you to download the latest patch.

So...did this gamespy shutdown not happen after all? I thought they were supposed to go down end of May. Because I tried to load up and join a server to play vanilla battlefield 2(just as a test....don't care for it at all generally) and I had no problem connecting to a server and playing for a bit. I also did it in vanilla bf1942. Again, no problem. So...what gives?

I'm seeding the server now. We had pretty good Saturday night crowds (9pm and later US eastern time) for several weeks after the release.  Let's try to make Saturday night games a regular thing like Thursdays on WaW. Be nice to be able to play FH2 at a decent ping more than ONE night a week.

OK guys...it's quarter after 8 on a Thursdays night and I'm the only F**KING person on the WaW #1 server right now. I've been playing FH2 since it's release in...what was it?....December of '07... but I'm seriously about to give up on this mod and find another game.

FH2 Thursdays have been a LONG time tradition(first on wolf and now on WAW) and they continue as awesome as ever. I have noticed recently that a new phenomenon is growing strong...FH2 Saturday nights on the WaW #1 server! Maybe because WaW campaigns lately have been on other games(PR, RO2) and US/Canada/'Western hemisphere in general' FH2 fans still need a low ping FH2 'fix' on that day.

People typically start wandering in around 8pm US eastern time and its really hopping soon after that. One difference I noticed from Thursdays it that Saturdays generally go later into the night...not as many of us have to get up for work Sunday morning as Friday.

So when those 762 admins have gone to bed and there's no one left over there to kick smacks, etc...come over to the WaW server for the new tradition of “FH2 Pubbie Saturday Nights”!

PS. I know Fridays have been regarded as 'the other night' for pubbie play on the WaW server...but for whatever reason they just haven't been happening much lately(if they were ever that big). So screw it...if people would rather play Saturday nights, then lets play Saturday! Play Thursday night, then get your drunken hedonism over with Friday nights, then get back on the server Saturday night.

PPS. WaW moved its servers from the western US to the East Coast not too long ago, so they will be fairly ping friendly for Europeans as well. So when your fellow Europeans have to quit playing for silliness like 'sleep' or whatever...come over to WaW to play into the wee hours of Sunday morning your time.

Get on WAW #1 server guys! We got like 30 last Saturday night! And they stayed LATE too(still had that many by like midnight US eastern time).
