I only have 2142 and BF2, so any help with the other games would be appreciated.
 
I'd like to use the basic formatting I've made, or the one I found on the Battle of Britain page.

I'm impressed by what you guys have all done with the wiki since I have last visited it. But out of all honesty, we need a bigger team of people working on this. With Bad Company 2's increasingly large popularity, why is it that we have not yet found a sizable team for this wiki?
 
   
  +
I hope that Battlefield 4 is going to be a World War II based game. With the recent Battlefield 3 success your company will be supported on any game you create involving vehicles. I am a current BF3 player and i would appreciate a solid WW2 game that incorporates vehicles and team work. Thanks[[Special:Contributions/24.57.254.208|24.57.254.208]] 21:42, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

Alright guys, we need a forum/chat room/ventrilo/teamspeak or some place where we can meet and discuss ideas/add things to this wiki. It will make us more organized and efficient. Plus I don't like using wiki talk pages :P

I actually was planning on doing alot of things on the wiki but the sheer amount of work needed to be done sort of demoralized me and i've been spending time playing the games rather than editing wiki pages about them. We need more pages about other battlefield games like Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield Vietnam, there's way too little info about them. Bad Company 2 also needs alot more info as in the specs,maps,campaign,ranks,achivements and game modes like Rush,Conquest,Squad Rush and Squad Deathmatch need to be created. I'll try to make the Squad Rush page but i'll have to actually play it first then make a page about it. Also i agree that we need a chat room or something to discuss editing.

Honestly, I can't blame you. This does get overwhelming and I left because of similar reasons and because the wiki was getting vandalized like every day. Do you know any place where we can create a chat room of some sort or something like that?
