@loaderXI should be your first port of call here with. I for one don't understand why Steam is overwriting the game files. I have the Steam version but don't launch it using Steam so mine is generally okay. Had a few times where my controls will reset but that's about it. I connect direct to the server using the program HLSW, give that a go. It should be in the download section. It allows you to connect directly to the server without having to go through the main menu. Steam should be open if you are using the Steam version though. You can actually change your name and fix hunk_meg issues without opening the game in the config files. Go to where CoD2 is saved on the PC Like: Program Files (x86) > Steam > Steamapps > Common > Call of Duty 2 > 28 > Players > [Your Name] > config_mp Open that up in notepad or notepad ++ and search for seta com_hunkMegs "160" and set that to seta com_hunkMegs "512" Changing the name is in the same file. Look for seta name "Unknown Soldier" and change it to seta name "ColdSore"

Happy birthday you old fart! I'll give you a bash or three on the weekend!

We'll figure something out. Christmas is a bit up in the air as it is with my family - my dad and I don't want anything to do with each other anymore so that's going to make Christmas awkward something will be figured out in time in regards to my girlfriends family

So sorry to hear this loss! Take time off work and time away if you need it. We're always around if you need someone to shoot at and take some frustration out

thanks mate! Yea I should get the place at UKC, would be great to! Plus as I live in Canterbury I won't have to travel far to the campus! Student debt can wait, I won't have to pay it back until I start earning 21k or more I may be grown up but I'm still an idiot

People still play thresh? Then again, in EU we're a bit more in your face with our supports (looking at the amazing play from FNC which won them the EU LCS Summer final)

Me in my graduation gown. I don't smile for a reason

Thank you everyone for the kind words - it means a lot to me. I had a really good time yesterday and was quite emotional as it was the last time I'd see a lot of these people. All of us worked hard to get this done and I was pleased to work alongside such talented people. My mum and girlfriend are extremely proud of me and I am proud of myself. If I went back to do it again with the knowledge and the confidence I have now, I know I can get the highest grade but no stopping now. Aiming for my next level of education!

Hi all, just wanted to let anyone who is interested that I (of all people ) am graduating from University today with what we in England call a Upper Second-Class Honours Degree (2:1)! I am very pleased with myself and have the honour of graduating in Canterbury Cathedral which I am really looking forward to! Just wanted to share the good news! Also later this week I am applying for my Master level degree in Computer Animation of the University of Kent and I cannot wait to start that next year if I get accepted for an interview and then offered a place! Hope you all have a great day, I know I will be ~PainKiller>XI<MOD

I was in a game and I randomly chucked me out then in my squad a bunch of random people started showing up. I was so confused. They need to sort out the squad system, I hope they get it fixed

I'll be joining on that one mate!

For once I am going to agree with what BDS said! We all go through hardships - my girlfriend is in a similar spot to you now, we're afraid her grandmother won't make it to christmas and to my girlfriends 21st birthday. What matters is that, as BDS said, you woke up this morning, you have all your family and your friends and us crazy fuckers. You'd be amazed how well people can bounce back though! What matters the most is that you and your family are there for your grandfather and you're all there for each other

And it is a skill I am very well rehearsed in and proud of it! I sure have sir! After my old man left I had to go of course but I came back 5 years ago, much to the surprise of everyone else couldn't leave these idiots behind. Now from JR to member then to Moderator helping @loaderXI manage and maintain the CoD2 servers, time does fly. I am sorry for the total ass kicking though! Don't worry, there are days I can't even scratch a positive score was good to see you again p-man.

Gotta keep bugging them mate. You know hands down I'd be there in a flash

Here's a wonderful FU to you good sir! I am still stuck in this little slice of hell we call England

I missed this?! Happy belated birthday my friend!!

Happy birthday boss! Hope it was a good day with a hangover to match!

Wow this is great, Frenchi!

Gotta get yourself some recording software mate. If you use an Nvidia card you can get something for that which I use for recording

You do know that rap stands for Retards Attempting Poetry, right?

We've got some castles on the South Coast mate, like Dover and Deal etc. Plus some Batteries. We'll stick the ol' flak guns back and an embargo and we'll be fine

FU Dipsy! Have a good birthday mate!

I'll be grabbing that for sure! Thanks for the heads up Barron!
