I have the CD i bought at Best Buy.....i reinstalled the game 2x now and still the same thing happens, i think its a bug in the MOD or something.....thanks for reading my post though. I'm not sure i can keep playing the Beta version, i do much better on other server where i can get the same perks as everyone else, like on the Chicago server when there are people on it i do very well....i also found the free-for-all server last night for the first time and i DOMINATED it! lol.....whereas on the Beta im fodder for bullets because i lag, dont have perks, and even though my ping is like 20 i still feel like it lags a ton. thanks again for reading my post, i'll keep digging for a solution, i really like your server and the people on it, would iike to keep playing if can.
