    I can't seem to stay connected to DaDa's server. I will probably play on the server sonny and I played on last nite (213.105.201.210). Hope to see some guys there.

    Umm....yeah...Dada...no offense...but your server sucks. It keeps kicking everyone off. What you do you have it configured to kick users every 10 minutes or so? I don't have any problems playing other servers...only yours. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who gets kicked off. It's also very fun to play with a Dada who is in the game but not in the game :rolleyes: . His name is listed as in game but he is not there. Guess your not getting kicked ;).

    I can't figure out why it boots people....I am having the issue too...we are running it on an XP machine, and I have read that XP has issues with the server, may have to wipe it to win 2k.

    I left myself connected at work....so that is why it lists me.

    I will work it out......patience guys.

    So me and VeceySux searched the servers looking for DaD's idle body to slaughter. But ya, kept getting disconnected. We should start a weekly match or something, game looks promising.

    Although I have one question - is anyone else's sound jacked? All I hear is this loud, annoying staticy sound. I play with no sound so my ears dont bleed. Let me know if anyone had thata nd fixed it, thanks

    Kept trying to join you but the server you picked is full. i am off to bed now anyways. I have had lots of good success with the one i listed above. It has been real consistent and not too crowded.

    DaDa we really appreciate the effort. Thanks for providing us a playground, even though all the swings are broke and the Merry-go-round is rusted stiff :). I have the utmost confidence that you will get the thing worked out...

    I played in the server with Sonny tonight (he got me at least once, b*stard). I can't play that game without getting woozy. MOHAA had the same effect on me for awhile.

    I won't buy this game next week...I'm saving my cash for Unreal Tournament 2003 due out anytime now.

    Dude! I get the same thing for a while sometimes and then it goes away, very weird. Might be the sound card? I have a Sound Blaster Live...

    Ok,

    Server is up, and we think FIXED !!

    That is the good news...now the bad news....we are running the retail version, so you need a copy of the full game to play.

    I can switch back to demo if you guys like for a time, but we just got the full version.

    AWESOME !!

    I won't be around tonite but hopefully I can pick up a copy tomorrow and start playing this weekend. I will probably keep the demo installed if anyone just has that and still wants to play.

    Quality. It sounds like this game would be worth the buy simply from the multiplayer portion alone, but sometimes I find my online skills suck and I get bored with multiplayer games where I lag constantly and can't seem to find anyone worse than me to kill. In these instances, single player campaigns really hit the spot.

    Well then you definitely need to hook up with me. I totally stink at the game. The best part for me is to find new ways to get myself killed. Just yesterday I found a guy who did suck worse than me. So for a little fun I watched him jump in a tank then I ran up behind the tank and jumped on the back. I wanted to see if I could shoot into the cab and kill him . That did not work. I rode around the top for a while and watched him shoot up some jeeps. imagine his surprise when he swung his cannon around and saw me sitting on the top of the tank. He proceeded to blow me off the top of the tank :D. I have also perfected the suicide run. It is great to take a guy out by ramming your jeep into him while he tries to pilot another vehicle.

    Question for Dada....what are the retail version minimum system requirements for the single player mode and multiplayer mode? The reason I ask is the single player demo said a minimum of 256 meg ram was needed while the multiplayer demo only said 128 meg ram.

    I have purchased the retail version(in the mail right now on its way) but I only have 128 meg of memory. Obviously, if the single player minimum is 256 meg then I'm going to have to buy 128 meg more or suffer probably from tremendous slowdown and swapping(which probably means unplayable).

    I have not played the single player demo and have only read one site's specs on requirements. I'm wondering if that site is wrong and that the minimum is only 128 meg while recommended is 256 meg.

    thanks

    I've been looking around the 'net, but I find myself having difficulty trusting some reviews of certain products. I need to buy a new video card so I can run a game like this (have been meaning to do so for a long time), but I don't really want to spend much more than $100. Does anyone have a recommendation for a video card around that price?

    Edit: AGP, preferably.
