Born and raised in Ohio, now living in NC. Ohio State University grad, had a variety of careers. 61 years old, semi-retired ( no old fart jokes please ). Tried a lot of fps WW II games, played MOH Speahead since the demo, been in a few SH clans, eventually started my own that lasted for 6 years, had tons of fun. Couldn't play any of the better games because of a lackluster computer. Now have an ASUS desktop, happy with it, and to be able to play COD5. Was pretty decent at SH, just started COD5, I only play your servers. Getting my @ss handed to me so far, but having a blast doing it. Love the game, and the guys on the servers are all heads-up players, and don't run down the new, inexperienced guys. Definitely a plus. My SH clan was dedicated to helping new guys, and furthering the game itself. Looking forward to the COD5 experience and getting to know everyone here. Regards, Harland_Wolff ( btw, H&W is the company that built the Titanic, if anyone was wondering ). Spent my life dodging icebergs.....lol....seems like a fititng handle. Hemps, LtLaszlo and dadda2 3

Not easy for a new guy to fit in with experienced gamers, but all of you have been very welcoming, and I do appreciate it. I would have to agree that the newer games require a much higher skill level than older one's such as Spearhead. Boy, am I learning that! Really enjoying the experience. Looking forward to continued participation and enjoyment! Regards, Har Hemps 1

I think we've thrown a few bullets at each other in the COD5, DM server. It is a LOT of fun and a great bunch of peeps - many of us in the same age range! Also palyed many an FPS in all the WW2 genre games, MOH, BF1942, Day of Defeat, etc., but love the COD series the most. See you in game! Awards

Tried it on my old comp using XP over the years, no go. Tried it on my new one running W8, again no go. The client won't log in. It did at first, but when I tried to get onto the server through the website, it said I had to be logged into Gametracker, which I was, both on your site and in the client app. After that failed attempt, the client stopped working, can't/won't log in. Any ideas? 2) I would love to play some of your other servers, but I can only access games from the in-game server menu in COD5 since gametracker is crapping out. I can currently get the modern weapons, and custom map servers. Is there a way to access the other one's you have? Maybe through Xfire? 3) I do have Xfire, and its working just fine. What syntax do I need to use to find the guys here to add as friends, admins too? Would very much like to start a friends list with all of you. 4) My mic headset will be in by the end of the week. How do I access chat during the game, through the game itself, or TeamSpeak? Many thanks guys....one of these days I'll stop being the pigeon and start being the hawk....lol Har

I believe xfire is somehow better than gametracker. But gametracker is very good for searching server names and ip for all games past and present. Sorry for being no help to your questions at all. But I will thaw you if your frozen in the game. By the way, welcome to the forum. this is where 60s is the new 30s-play hard and be nice. Awards

You can use xfire to find our servers. If you go to the home page you will see a server list, you can simply click on the xfire logo by the server you want to play on. It will put the server info into your xfire favorite servers list. You can launch them from there. I don't know if the admin that handles our xfire group will add you there until you make clan status, but you can simply click add friend and search for whom ever you want to add. I bet most game admins game name and xfire are the same. After you get some xi members in there you will see their friends pop up and you can add them too. My xfire is fraggedyann and you are welcome to add me if you like. Or you can click on members in the tool bar at the top of the forums. You can click on admins, then when you find the cod5 admins you can see what their xfire names are from there too. Don't worry about old fart jokes, you are probably about the median age for the cod5 crew. Welcome again! Awards

You don't have to use teamspeak, but you can. It messes with my mind to be on teamspeak and use the in game chat too. Awards
