Steelbacks Battlefield community site

Steelbacks have a new server AND we have moved the old server to a new box

We have a new Steelbacks Battlefield Bad Company 2 server and the old server has been moved to a new box which I have been told will possibly increase traffic and reliability.

This is great news because now we can play battlefield the way we Steelbacks want. Also this means that when we train, we can direct the community that aren't involved toward our other fully working server.

Remember that the old server won't show up now on your favourites in the Battlefield BC2 server browser so be sure to add these new ones!

Hop over to the Server Details page on the left to grab a cut and pastable IP for when you want to join!

Steelbacks have a permanent IRC channel for members to idle in when not on TS or in-game, perhaps during the day at your futile job when the boss isn't supervising you (because he has long since given up on turning your feckless hide into a valuable employee), or at home playing some tedious timesink MMO that has claimed thousands of your hours you will never get back (a strange game Professor Falken, the only winning move is not to play).

It's also the emergency point of call on the very rare occasions we might temporarily lose both game server and TS server to gremlins at the same time and need some place to gather for direction.

Server details:
Server: irc.synirc.net
Channel: join channel #sb

You can either connect using a  browser client like Mibbit, or a freeware application like Irssi.

EA Games have listed fixes they know about for Battlefield Bad Company 2

And there are a lot of them, some being very minor to the more major server disconnecting issues that have kept us fuming at our desks in the evening. I've listed them here for quick reference but go over to their forum for more details.

Steelbacks have their 1st Knight

And he goes by the name of VooDoo. During our first ever get together today which was interrupted by not being able to password the server, various disconnects and server crashes, we Steelbacks had a Knives only Conquest game, 2 matches and it isn't down to points but just who has the most kills.

The winner of the first game would have had to play the winner of the second game but this was not necessary as VooDoo had the most kills on both followed scarily close by a master of the blade, Sipe!

VooDoo seemed to be untouchable as he leapt from trees like Predator, snuck up behind people and generally became almost untouchable.

For coming first, VooDoo has won the first months prize which is the full game, Braid and we Steelbacks hope that next months Knife fight will bring more Steelback knights to the table : )

Gratz VooDoo!
