It had to be updated as there were many exploits that hackers could use to disrupt a server.

Only you could extend an invitation to me like that on a day when the servers aren't available! I think the same tech that looked at the box the other day is back on the case as he can't get it up again? Send him some Viagra over!

That's because the newly downloaded game would have been patched n'est-ce pas? Having updated Steam (at the second attempt - the first caused my PC to freeze), I am now downloading four updates, one of which was for L4D2 (23.3MB). Be warned folks that, if you haven't played for over a year and you have a copy of the game installed, it needs updating.

@BUDMAN Still have it? You in?

I guess I'm going to have to brave Steam again... I'm guessing quite a few updates are waiting...

I had an odd experience recently also. The video settings altered themselves to 1024x768 and the names of my custom classes all reset to "Custom Class 1" and so on. The actual weapons selected in each class were, thankfully, untouched.

In case you've come to the web site to find out why all the servers are down, don't panic! If the hosting company keeps their word, we should be back playing soon. The hardware has been transferred to a new data centre. They reckoned the process would be completed by 1000 EDT (that's 1400 UTC, 1500 BST). Let's hope they plug them back in correctly... Shoot you later!

@Ruggerxi asked whether anyone plays Left 4 Dead 2 as there's a possibility the clan might host a server for it. I haven't played for a long time but have it installed here and would be interested in having a go again. Add your names below please so he can get an idea of whether it is worth going ahead.

I no longer get excited about any Activision releases. They haven't exactly covered themselves with glory in recent years.

We should have a look at this, Beers. I wonder if a couple of satchels would do the job?

Which map was this on Teknon?

Welcome, Monkie! My word! The ceremonial grenade is going to be busy...

Welcome to the clan! I am polishing the special grenade for the induction ritual...

Sincere condolences, Wild'. May the many happy memories of her life and love that is eternal assuage the terrible grief.

There is a way to sneak up on him when he does that. Get a half-track and park it in the shed/garage next to the spawn house at the other end of the map (the one in the corner). When you exit, you're on the roof of that shed and can jump down to the other side of the hedge and follow it up to the river. Do so carefully as you are visible to snipers elsewhere. When you reach the T34 tanks, go behind his and a couple of satchels/ stickies do the trick. He loves it when that happens!!!

Sammy, I installed from disk and am prompted to insert the disk only when playing single-player mode. I launch the game via HLSW for multiplayer. Have you tried launching the game with a command line e.g.: C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\CoDWaWmp.exe

If any major ones are found or we see that they are being abused, the map is removed from rotations by Beers.

Do you shout out "B*ll*cks!" in your sleep? I bet the misses loves that!

Have your ears been burning?! I have mentioned your name recently to the other H-ADMs and ADMs in relation to potential membership. I'll willingly sponsor you if you're interested. We can get an app to you once you've confirmed all requirements (which have just been relaxed a bit so I have to find them now and send you a PM...)

I could send this beauty round to your place to keep you busy...

Indeed they do. All that have left the Army since 1997 receive exactly the same as other British Army soldiers. Where we did not get the result desired by supporters of these brave men was in relation to pensions paid to previous retirees who still receive less. Elsewhere, the cry would be "racial discrimination" but, apparently, that does not apply to those from Nepal! Ayo Gorkhali!

Google is your friend. The results I obtained point to either a damaged or dirty CD or a malfunctioning CD/DVD drive. For example: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2623791/call-duty-world-war-wont-install.html Does the drive read other discs such as movies?

Belated Happy Birthday, Duc. Sorry I haven't sent greetings before now as I missed this post. I'm sure you'll understand that the web site has been a bit broken lately....oh...er...I'm off!

He is Risen! Happy Easter!

Welcome to the clan, Nice_Guy!
