The Steelbacks - Battlefield Bad Company 2 community site

Become an Author for the Steelbacks

http://www.geekalerts.com/u/disc-2gb-pen.jpgHere's how!
Once you are an author, then we would like help writing news, information and resources on the following subjects.

Battlefield News

Basically anything that's to do with Battlefield including up and coming games, Esports matches, DLC, other news from different sites etc. Also this could include quotes or information about DICE, EA Games etc.

Community News

Anything that has happened with the community, site etc that you feel should be published to the rest of the community who may not already know. i upgraded the server to Version 7 the other day and the M1 Garrand became unlockable. This is the type if news that I'm talking about. Maybe the Steelbacks won a match, one of the players is consistently 1st or is hacking. Anything to do with the Steelbacks!

Battlefield Resources

This is simply websites, fan kits etc that are to do with Battlefield that another Steelback or un registered player may need in order to enhance their BF experience.

Software Resources

These would include server remote admin programs or anything to enhance the Battlefield experience using software. maybe Steam, Teamspeak and also any tools that a gamer could download.

After you have some info on this, then you would simply follow the instructions in order to getting your article published.

Here's how you publish an article on the site:

1) Click on the relevant link that you would like to write an article about.
2) You will be presented with a WYSIWYG editor which is real easy to use and i'm sure you have seen these before. Write up a relevant heading in the Title. this could be 'Steelbacks come first on Clanbase' etc
3) Type up your article using the WYSIWYG to help with your formatting.
4) Check the relevant boxes and form fields:
Section and Category drop downs are pre configured, they can be a visual aid that you are publishing to the correct category/section.
Show on Front page simply means that when it's published, it will be on the front page or not.
Author Alias can be left blank as I have set the site to not show the Authors Alias. (try it though, it shouldn't work)
Access level means who can view it. special is admin and authors, registered is obviously anyone that's registered and public is everyone.
Description and Keywords are for Google. if you would like to, add relevant keywords on here for Google indexing purposes. so for instance if i'm writing an article about Rifle velocities, the keyords would be like this. Rifle, velocity, M16, Muzzle Speed.
5) Once your happy, scroll back to the top of the page and hit save. this article will be left un published and await review by one of us admins. If in the future you guys love this so much and do a great job, we would be happy to give you publishing rights too

Look forward to seeing if anyone else is interested as we have 2 Authors already!

Thanks Greener and Voorite : )

 

Hardcore Server Contributions

Steelbacks Hardcore Server

Steelbacks would like to grab another Battlefield Bad Company 2 server to specifically train on and also set it to Hardcore mode by default.

As many of you know, Hardcore mode removes all of the visual aides that are common in normal modes like the minimap, aim reticle, ammo etc. On top of this, Hardcore mode also adds the element of friendly fire which means players would have to adjust their thinking and tactics when it comes to taking flags or destroying targets as it could have consequences not only for the outcome of the game but also the players stats.

To grab ourselves a nice new Harcore/training server, we would like to turn to the community to help support it financially and have chosen to use 'Clanpay/Paypal' rather than a Bank 'Account/Paypal' into one of our pockets. This means that the cash saved goes straight into the running of the server and cannot be withdrawn from Gameservers account!

Steelbacks server gets updated

Steelbacks server: Updated to Server Release 7

Indeed the Steelbacks have bee playing Battlefield BC2 on an older server release which has been causing disconnect issues with the community. Not only disconnection issues but also the equipment which Battlefield Veterans should have earned never appeared like the M1 Garrand.

Since we upgraded the server this week, all has been fixed and the server has become more stable. You can check for your M1 Garrand as long as you are a Veteran too.

 

BFBC 2 Launcher released

Gossamer Solid have released a BFBC launcher that allows players to launch BFBC 2 with previously 'hidden' settings (unless of course you have already ventured into the game's .ini files...).

Settings that can be configured with the launcher include:

"DirectX Level, FoV, Water Detail, Shadows detail and many many more"

Head on over to ModDB to grab it!

Steelbacks invade Facebook

Steelbacks are now on Facebook

We've added a group on Facebook called 'Steelbacks, Battlefield bad Company 2 Community' so that if you are a member, you can get a little bit more up close and personal with the other members of the Steelbacks. Not only is this going to be good for my friends list, but it'll be fun to put faces to voices : )

We need a pic though so feel free to create one with out Steelbacks community tags on!
