8mins thats seriouly bad
when you do your upgrade get a sata drive 16mb+ cache, the maps will load 100% faster, i really noticed this when i started using my new one over the old one which was sata 2mb cache.
fingers crossed i should have a working pc by the weekend
anyone about for a game?

i never timed a map loading on 2142 but id guess at about 20-35 seconds maybe for a fresh map, and then once its loaded one time, the second time it loads the same map its well under 10 seconds

Basically you add people to it, then, when they are playing ona gmae, click the little box next to it, and it show's you the ip addy of the map they are in, just click it and you get straight in providing the server ain't full

that add on looks good, might have to give it a try later, whats it like?
do note though that your ranks and points wont count in that add on as its not part of ea, so medals etc you win don't go on your profile.

one of the most annoying things i keep getting is it'll sometimes reload about 2 or 3 times as it didnt like the first two or something
gets very annoying when you need to kill someone now!tried out the add on, its very good but very complicated as well, all these new little rules you have to do, and you can't just go gun ho and shoot everyone, you have to engage the enemy get in position line the shots up etc but i guess thats the whole point of it its ment to be real.
the blood in its good though
