Introduction

Dear New Player,

I would like to take this chance to welcome you to Global Conflict. You have just joined one of the best communities on the net for organized gameplay. At Global Conflict we believe that we are all here for a mature & most important fun game of BF2 and we have made that the basis of our community.

To participate in the campaigns you may or may not have to download a variety of programs, maps and MODS, but as of this date only TS is required, and we will be getting to that shortly. Once you have this done and join us on the server for the very first time, you are going to love what we have created here at Global Conflict.

Due to popular demand I've created this simpler guide for people who already know how to use TS, for a much larger and complex guide about setting up TS, simply go to the bottom of these 10 steps where you will find the original start up guide, thanks to Yob_Yeknom, for assisting with the quick guide.

Ten Simple Steps to Starting at Global-Conflict

  1. Register with site.
  2. Use the Click to Join button in the side bar to choose a side, then use your chosen sides forums to sign up for a squad (in the squad barrcks).
  3. Make sure you use the correct prefix to use for tourney, official ingame tags can be found in the ABC-tool.
  4. If your current ingame name (the account you use that has the most unlocks) does not match the one in ABC, simply change your name by going to edit in ABC.
  5. Make sure you get Teamspeak installed and that it is working on the GC server (found on the bottom of the sidebar). We don't use VOIP in game.
  6. Learn the battle time by heart. It is... 
   * Saturday 1pm EST lasts 6 hours. (10am Pacific, 18 GMT, 19 CET)
  1. Make sure that before every battle you sign up on ABC and check the battle strategy for every fight in the barracks
  2. Make sure you have all the required downloads, which you can get here: http://global-conflict.org/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads
  3. Try to show up on Teamspeak 10 minutes before the match starts. If you can't join at the start of the fight, make sure you check in on TS before joining the game server. Your squad leader will tell you your assignment within the squad.
  4. When in doubt, don't be afraid to ask anyone you see for help (you should ensure they are GC members).

Good luck and have fun!

Getting Started at GC

The Complex Guide To Getting Started at GC

Note: The following guide is 80% about how to get Teamspeak set up.

Teamspeak Setup

  • outdated

All the following links that I am going to provide you can be found on the Global Conflict home page by clicking on this link.

In this post I will provide you with all the links in one location to make things as simple and easy as possible. All the links that I am providing you will not be to another web page, but are direct links that will start the download for you.

The very first thing you must download, install and configure is TS. Why? Because once you have this you will have the ability to ask a real person for help if you need it in the future. There is almost always someone on the TS server at almost any given time day or night. I do not know a single player here at GC who would not gladly give you a hand getting things straightened out or if they do not know the answer they will know who to point you to who can.

  • You can download Teamspeak by clicking on the folowing icon, which will start your download of TS. Teamspeak RC2 built 2032

Once you have downloaded and installed TS you will need to configure it so you can talk to others on our server. This is very simple to do.

  1. Start TS and in the upper left hand corner click on Connection. It will give you a drop down list of options.
  2. Click on Connect. This will bring up a new window called Connect To Server.
  3. Right Click on Servers and then click on Add Server. This will add a server in the tree below and you will name this server GLOBAL CONFLICT
  4. After you name the server left click on this server to bring up the info.
  5. In the window that says Server Address type in the following IP for the GC server -europe.global-conflict.org:8767
  6. In the box that says Nickname type in the Screen Name that you use for playing the game and what you used to register for GC.
  7. Leave the next box that says Login Name blank.
  8. In the box that says Password leave that blank.
  9. Click on the box that say Auto-Reconnect, that way if you get disconnected during the game, you do not have to hop out to log back on. Teamspeak will attempt to reconnect every ten secondes till the server is back up.
  10. Now click on the Connect button.
  11. Now you are in the ICON Teamspeak server that we use here at GC but you still have one more step to go.
  12. To Register with the server, thus allowing you to access GC rooms, to do so, click the Self button in the top teamspeak menu, enter your desired username and password, this can be entered later into the connect menu so you will not have to login each time you join the server.
  13. Scroll down the list of rooms on the left hand side of your screen till you see the Global Conflict - After Hours room. To enter this room double click on the name. This is the most popular room used here at GC.
  14. If for some reason there is no one in this room but you do scroll down and notice players in either the US or EC room you can enter either one by typing in the current passwords found in your chosen side's barracks.
  15. Be aware that the default way to activate your microphone in TS is Voice Activation. Leaving this is on is the quickest way to get on the bad side of players on the same TS channel as you. It is very easy and required that you change the voice send method to Push to talk.
  16. To change this setting, first open TS.
  17. The fourth option at the top is Settings, click on that.
  18. The first of three options that are listed is Sound Input/Output Settings, click on that.
  19. The second setting section you will see is Voice Send Method.
  20. In this section you will need to do two things.
  21. First click on the option that says Push to talk.
  22. Now you need to set which key you wish to use. You can use any key that you want but you need to choose a key that while you are in game will not activate something else. Nothing worse than flying a plane and just as you are about to shoot someone you push the "E" key to talk and end up jumping out of the plane. I personally use the "F" key but only time will tell what will work best for you. You can go back at any time and change this key.
  23. To set this feature simply click on Set.
  24. This will open a small window that says Choose Key.
  25. Choose your key by simply pressing it and this will close that window and you are finished setting up TS.
  26. There are many other features of TS available that I encourage you to explore. I am not going to go into them here simply because this tutorial is designed just to get you started in GC.
  27. Now that you have Teamspeak installed you simply need to logon.
  28. Now that teamspeak is ready to go, you can use it to assist you in the following steps, if you need help simple pop on to Teamspeak, and find some GC members, I guarentee you they will be more then happy to help you out.
