Lan Party

Attack of the Show, a program that runs on G4-Tv, has an weekly Lan party sponsored by various parties. This weeks Lan party was for Battlefield 2, which happens to be the game that I am totally engulfed in at the moment. So I signed up hoping I might get a chance to show my stuff on a show that I fluently watch at lunch breaks. And low an behold I got an invite to come play. After rushing home from my parents house, which I have dinner with every Thursday, I got online and logged on to the server with the information provide to me in the invite.
I jumped into the middle of a game, the map was a 64 player map that I really don't play much but that doesn't' phase me, initialed I got 4 kills by removing a chopper filled with point whoring bitches from the sky. Then I took down two tanks and 3-5 more assaulting members of the opposing force when suddenly I was disconnected and returned to the mulitplayer promt screen in the game. I logged on again to discover that the server had restarted. Ok, that sucks since what I had just done put me in first but ok I will live with it.. So starting the second match immediately began gaining points by taking flags, and killing a few here and there. The hole time there are planes, attack choppers, and Transport choppers over head trying to take the control points. I managed to down another attack chopper and a few guys, raising my score to third. But the hole time it was laggy as shit. I usually play on European servers, which are a crossed the Atlantic ocean and never have a problem, but for some reason playing on a California server caused major lag. Although I was not the only one, many other players were complaining about it instead of playing. But I tried my best to over come the constant skipping of players (when you shoot at a person then they disappear and reappear half way across the screen) and managed to get some kills here and there. I then glanced at the score and noticed the guy in first was in a chopper and just randomly killing things on the ground, and I had top score on the losing team which over all I was in second but then I forgot about the commander. The commander on the winning team gets double pinot score when they when, and well it pushed him in to second place so I had to settle for third.. SUCKS ASS!!! Then the server disconnected again.
I log back on and began my battle, the lag was even worse. I managed to get first on the losing team again, but the 4 other people had a higher score on the winning team, so I had to settle for 5th. Which I believe if there was no lag, I probably could have gotten first on both games!!!
oh'well thems the breaks I guess...
Will defiantly try again next time the do a Lan party.. I want that first spot!!!
