It would be pretty boring for everyone involved and probably not be that instructive for you if it was just a handful of 5punkers. Perhaps a low population server?

But they don't stand still or stop shooting you when someone is trying to demonstrate something to you, or let you learn to be commander.

I wouldn't find it boring to help out, maybe be a token bad guy you can kill over and over while trying out the weapons. In fact I'd find that ten times more fun than a regular game.

Well okay. I was assuming amblin has had some experience from playing Generic FPS.

The single player is fairly useful. It's only one map, but it lets you get the hang of things. Honestly though, it's just as easy to dive straight in; Beef is a simple mistress, point and shoot

Chickenz server is still up (I think) so we will have a playground, if we need one.

I'm up for some late night 5punky-beef, and a low population server for us to dick around on before letting amblin loose works for me.

For punkbuster, try updating it manually. I had to do that after installing and patching beef, and no problems for me since.

In case it hasn't been suggested yet: PBSetup.

Ah yes, I meant to post that link. Sorry. Download, run, choose game, press go, punkbuster happy.

Also, I've discovered that Hamacheese can confuse punkbuster so if you're getting PB kicks for losing packets or not communicating make sure hamachi is not running.

also, punkbuster doesn't seem to like the version of teamspeak overlay that i'm using, keeps getting me kicked

Nor does it like the Steam In-Game overlay.

Patch doesn't like me installing BEEF to the D drive.

That's odd, I installed it to my F: drive with no problems.

I've not tried running it from my D drive yet, that might do it.

The 1.21 patch had a horrid memory leak on my E: drive install, but they seem to have fixed that in the later ones - they do need a fair chunk free on the C: though to unpack.
