....no, at least not on this pc....this is the first one I have built and don't want to add any more complexity to the situation.....I know this cpu can run alot faster than 2.4....perhaps down the road on another pc...hey Stinger....when I install the motherboard in the case is there anything special like washers or mounts I have to do in terms of grounding?..also, when I install the processor on the board I know there is thermal paste or something I have to use to help protect the processor....can you give me any feedback on this?...I would hate to get all the basics right then miss somethin

Commandos 2 kicks major butt....its as close to perfection as you can get...I played through it on easy and medium. I got through to about mission7 or so on hard and gave up.The only thing that I didn't like about the entire game was that stupid bonus mission after you get all the bonus puzzle pieces on mission 2 or 3 where you have to drive the boat through a course of mines by a certain time. Were the people at Edios/Pyros Studios smoking crack when they came up with that? Commandos three won't have Lips or Whiskey and it also won't have puzzle pieces in order to unlock extra missions...gre

Stinger..please clarify..."oc"...

...thanks to everyone for the feedback....sometimes the sheer number of choices is overwhelming

cool...thats actually the board I have been looking at.......

I am going to build a pc around a 2.4 gig pentium 4 with an 800 fsb and hyper threading....I plan on using either a gforce fx5600 or fx5900 card,sound blaster audigy 2 and a gig of Corsair RAM.....I have been looking at the Asus boards...but is this the best brand for gamers?... if so, which model of Asus board is best?..... ...thanks....

...I usually do this....two teams of three each...sniper/support/demo(antitank) for each team....hustle the one team up to the bridge and place them smack dab in the middle of the bridge...you will have to take out a patrol to get there....I usually go up the side that has the train depot...at the same time have the other team work on going up the other side....carefully.....once the team on the bridge is in place...hit recon and hold and take control of the other team and wipe out the patrol(s)....when the tanks and infantry support start to roll...the guys on the bridge can rip right into th

...excellent work!!!!...this is the way GR was meant to be!!!...not 100 enemies (or more)...special ops work on the element of stealth, suprise, speed and close coordination amongst highly trained team members....its good to see a mission back to this concept...it was hard but not frustrating...excellent briefing....objectives were very realistic....please make more missions......or even better...a campaign!!!!!! ..just one thought...I played this mission using just a silienced sniper with frags....very challenging....especially, quite obviously, in close quarters combat..try it!!!!

I'd trip over my feet on my way to the store......

thanks...........

hey folks.....enlighten me, please...how do you install the patch that fixes the two missions that crash?

GR will be around for a long time...I know I'll continue to play it...I do go back to Rainbow just to visit old school now and then...I am sure GR2 will rock...but I am also sure it will take a little time for the bugs to be worked out and get it as polished as GR.....

Flingballs...in all honesty..I agree with you....I have played GR since it came out....I have, like everyone else, played through all missions/maps multiple times...I have close to 12 gigs of mods and I have worked with/played all of them....Now let me clarify before I proceed...I love GR...I have 20 other top of the line games that collect dust cause I can never put GR down..The sense of realism and immersion GR creates is unsurpassed.....I understand GR is a realistic simulation...but IMHO...the friendly AI, are 80% of the time,dumb as dirt and the enemy AI are the "elite"...my guys will do

..completed objectives 1(contact bridge outpost) and 3(protect immobilized kv)....but I can not get objective 2(hold hq, I think) or the bonus objective(secure bridge).........I have killed everything on the map.....including the tank by the bridge which I thought would complete the bonus objective.....any thoughts?....thanks.....

...thanks...very cool mod....one thing that really sets this site apart is that people are very willing to help.....with that in mind.....when can we expect the next campaign?

...guess I jumped the gun on mission 7 re destroying all armor-mechanized units .....mission 8 is great...I just thought that there was something I missed to get the objectives to complete...did not realize that once all resistance was crushed, objectives would all complete at that point and mission would end...good mission...tough....but.....I thought it would be helpful to let others know how mission 8 works.....

....yeah thats a cool map......I like the fort one also...I just think its a really nice looking map....I think the snowmobiles and the special effect of deep snow really added polish to Frostbite....off subject here, but if you had a chance to play Swedish Forces 1.4.2...its amazing how new the DS maps felt with simply making them into a winter maps.....for me its all about immersion, no other game creates that feeling like GR.....little things like the sound of crawling through the grass or the sound of wind or an owl really do make a difference....

.....I live for campaigns.....I play them as fast as I can download them.......cool idea.....scripting is not too hard........my advice is don't try to make the missions too complex a far as scripting...I have found one can make really nice missions that are not very complex in terms of scripting.....

...I didn't have that problem...but.. on mission 8, the castle mission...I had to tweak the scripting so that when you destroy the bmp and the tank, that objective completes.....oh and on mission 8..the airport...its a little tougher... you have three objectives....when you get there...just keep destroying all enemies...when you do that...it will mark all three objectives complete and the mission will end.... as far as your mission three issue...are DS and IT both activated along with BTK?....what version of GR are you running?...were you running any other mods with BTK in addition to DS an

...true...I should run Navy Seals 2.1 and use that sniper rifle(don't know the name off hand here at work) that zooms WAY in....and has the boom of a small cannon...is that the .50 cal sniper rifle?....

Hey Sleeper.....I agree with your previous post re Sniper's Nest...no doubt about it...its unique...there is no other mission out there like it...Its important that modders continue to be innovative for the sake of keeping GR fresh...which is evident in Frostbite.....my post regarding the distance in Sniper's Nest was intended simply as postive feedback.....I respect the time and effort put into mods, and in no way do I want my feedback/opinions to come across as "complaining".....hope this clarifies.....

....Thanks to all modders.... you guys have put in a ton of time and hard work that deserves alot more recognition than you get......you know you got it bad when: 1)-You move the coffeee maker beside your computer 2)-You have all day saturday to play GR, and you are upset cause that will be just barely enough time to get warmed up....

....yep..this is the best GR site on the web......

....IMHO....I think the distance is too far....even with a sniper rifle, one has a hard time seeing the target well...I just lucked out and took a crack at a truck I thought he might be in....hey EL OSO...hope you guys get a chance to script some single missions on those beautiful mp maps....or heck...even a mini campaign!!!!.....

..thanks for the reply....one last question....does anyone have any advice on a good pc parts wholesaler that I could use?......
