max power 21 Posted September 4, 2007 Welcome to the forums. People play it. In fact, check out the multiplayer forums- which would have been a better place for this thread. The mods are very strict here. I suggest getting acquainted with the search function. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Honestly I would only buy the game if you had a friend to play it with - for reasons that will become apparent to you after your fine purchase. Also it would help to take a look at this wonderful guide endorsed by the CEO of BI. Good luck, and I hope to see you on the battlefield! *EDIT* Oh and I would definitely check out the Tactical Gamer servers - they're really top notch guys.

thestiguy 0 Posted September 4, 2007 also i had one more question if a server is using a mod does it still let u play on the server? or will it automaticlly download so you can play also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thestiguy 0 Posted September 4, 2007 then how do u know what mod they are running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madus_Maximus 0 Posted September 4, 2007 You'll get an error box that gives the mod files you have missing, just take a print screen or something or note them down and then head over to http://www.armedassault.info/ and search for them. They're not automatically downloaded as it'd mean using a hell of a lot of bandwidth to send them to everyone, and servers use a huge ammount as it is because of the complex nature of the game.
