    Sure, I can make my own content but then I want part of the money I paid to BI back.

    OK, so adjusting that from my point of view:

    I would have paid 100€ for this gem. However I did pay approx 35€ and I've made some MP missions freely for the community. Should I now count how many more missions are required from me to demand BI those 35€ back?

    How about no....

    Good grief

    :confused:

    I played last night some and steam updated the game.

    Then I selected browser with filter for "PunkBuster" but it just kept showing all the non-punkbuster ones as well.

    I had to manually check from each server does it have it on or off.

    Great filtering...

    I've enjoyed this game very much so far.

    However last night I came across some odd issue... can't say a hacker 'cos I'm not sure but:

    I came across a recon... shot him twice close range with shotgun and knifed him also... no effect. He then knifed me. This happened twice with the same guy... Annoying

    ....or do I just suck that bad?? ;)

    It may suck and I am aware of that. Since I have "that other game" and didn't find it great, I am cautious. I will probably wait for a review before deciding. We will see.

    How about just having some principle?

    I'd rather jump in a cesspool with a angry wolverine than have anything to do with CodeManglers... And I did not even purchase the OtherGame

    I've still only managed 5 games so far... Usually 1 kill / 8 deaths if lucky.

    Maybe I'm just too old for this kind of game type :)

    I love the atmosphere though but it is kinda frustrating being on level 1 and being run over by 5 level 48 snipers who act as spearhead.. and like previous posts indicate this is always the biggest flaw in these kind of games... nothing but sniper wannabees around.

    One match was different luckily and I got to also experience some excellent teamwork.

    I need to practice more to get the hang of this.

    :)

    Make sure you've uninstalled the beta if you still have it, and go to here and download this pbsetup.exe file and update your Punkbuster for BC2. Hopefully that will at least fix the Punkbuster errors.

    Well, I have a steam version which I purchased after the beta was closed. I can't at least find any beta folder inside the application folders.

    Btw, it's not fair that US players got to start earlier..... it's too hard for me to rush against their railguns with my sling.. hehe

    :rolleyes:

    It's very odd that people are experiencing the polar opposite to what I am. I wonder what exactly is different between mine and their setup to cause such a change. I've been playing online successfully so much that I'm now level 11, and some people can't even get into one server. Really, really odd...

    I'm not even level 1..... I've got into 4 games so far. Otherwise it's been "kicked by PB", "Can't connect to EA" or then just clicking on server and nothing happens.

    I did make the "pbsec.htm" into pb file but I'm too pissed off to try the game for awhile.

    :(

    Still zero servers in the browser and can't even get into a game using play now!!

    Nice...

    Get your shit together EA, had this game since 12 o clock launch day and only got into one MP game!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

    Makes a good cup coaster aswell as Operation Feecepoint

    Are you using steam version?

    I had same issue first when I started yesterday... try crossing the punkbuster off from server browsing and just retry..

    I got into games eventually (I'm cannonfodder to those BF2 veterans, lol)

    Although still experiencing odd things like "server full" announcements even if there's only 3/18 players etc...

    Hi Mark I wish you the best luck.

    I just installed the HIFI whole package, just through all the bisigns and pbos into one addon folder, dunno if thats correct

    when I start the game I get that annoying "Invalid crew civilian" error where the game loads to the little splash screen then it CTD's, I also got this error with RobertHammers helo sound mod that I loved after installing patch 1.05.

    any fix to this?

    and did I install it correctly??

    Thank you for your work im sure its fantastic. :)

    Please help.

    Delete "AH6" and "PMSD" pbo's.... I think there was a third one also.. read this topic further around page from 45 ... the answer is around there.

    Played this through last night with 2 friends.

    Very intense and good feeling.

    I played as the tank commander, lost the other tanks except my own and made a flanking manouver at the end and took out the arty outpost.

    We enjoyed it very much.

    The radio chatter makes it really feel like "being there"

    2 thumbs.

    Hint does not belong to conditions. Condition defines under what terms something (like a hint) happens.

    You do not need trigger that large to do that. If you want to use a trigger for a hint just use 5x5 and place it over some unit and use activated by "Anybody" / Condition "this" /On activation "Hint bla bla bla"

    And try separating targets in the other trigger

    !(alive T1) && !(alive T2) && !(alive T3) ....etc

    New version

    Hi troops.

    Here's my latest effort. Took some time and effort but I hope you like it.

    co13 Cowboys from hell *Final*

    Addons required: None

    Download from my repository

    Armaholic link

    From armed assault info

    Cowb.jpg

    Features:

    Revive by norrin, artillery by Bon, satellite view by Vienna, UPS by Kronzky, paradrop by Matt Rochelle, guard dogs by Big_Daddy,Mando heliroute, Forward Ops by NouberNou,Music by the Inkspots & Pantera

    Story/background:

    Town of Zelenogorsk has been known to be a hive for saboteurs working with russian authorities for a long time now.

    However this time they managed to ambush a US convoy and get a hold of a US HQ vehicle containing a shipment of experimental G36 rifles.

    The ones behind the strike have been identified as Svetlana Lumenko - a very nasty shewolf from partisan section, Simon Lenton - an ex SAS man who defected to russia long time ago and is generally known to be a very unstable case. He likes to dress up as priest , just to mention one of his odd habits...

    The link tower close to town is in use of spreading propaganda amongst local civilians

    Your team will be deployed with choppers along the main assault force towards LZ near target.

    From there you will proceed to the link tower and take out the generator powering it.

    Once done with that objective you are free to pursue the other objectives in free order. Use the satellite to identify your targets and use artillery to take out armored targets to clear the way to main targets.

    Be aware that all civilians are now armed with G36 rifles so spare no-one. They deserve it anyway. Kill them all!!

    Some hints/issues:

    *If played on server which has CBA enabled, be sure to use it also. Otherwise some scripts might backfire

    *Put the AI units in chopper first before human players

    *There are no other spawn points except the mobile which is deployed by leader

    *Mission will fail if all players are unconscious

    *Let the other infantry squads do the dirty work and concentrate on targets

    Feel free to give feedback

    Enjoy!

    Shit, I am very sad, I was just about to open Dragoholic, your resource to failing dragons to support those Complete Morons with their true sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yup. I know the feeling. I was just in process of converting all my missions to Dragon Dung by removing all enemies from them.

    Too bad.

    :rolleyes:

    Apprently I shouldnt have posted that thread, it resulted in 8 people being banned, and about 10 getting infractions up to the limit.

    CM's communication even with me has been super limited of late, but I never thought they'd stoop to such levels. Im guessing the only reason I didnt get banned was because of my mods.. lucky

    Well I don't own the game but I do respect that someone like you dedicates ones time to improve what is faulty. Clearly CM ain't interested in that...

    Nice...

    My point is that a communist state won't turn into a stable and successful democratic capitalist state overnight. It takes time and the former Soviet countries are still very young.

    And that is where it might lead to the wrong path.

    Being a capitalist state started going wrong from Thatcher/Reagan era when banks and such were raised to a position where they're not responsible to anyone anymore.

    Look at the present economic turmoil which is the result of openly declaring greed as a virtue.

    My country is going to hell at the moment and all that the politicians are interest in here are the petty rivalries between different parties. Makes me sick to my stomach thinking of how it'll be when my son is old enough to try and find a job....

    :(
