    Multiplayer, Click Join, NOTHING happens.

    How many people have this problem? This seems like a critical issue for the game. Last night I only was able to get in 1 server all night! I clicked JOIN hundreds of times trying to get in a server that was listed. My GameSpy name was GREEN and I could get the server listings yet when clicking JOIN, I'd hear the beep noise and nothing would happen?

    How widespread is this problem???

    Same problem here. The funny thing is.....the first time I played the game, I had no trouble at all. Now all of a sudden, I can't join any servers. Whether it be Co-OP or Domination. It's frustrating to say the least.

    Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2

    I dont' know if anyone has been paying attention to what's been going on since Janet Jackson's boob flashed to millions of Television viewers during the SuperBowl, but The Goverment is getting a little bit too involved with our choices as Americans these days.

    Since that little mishap during the Superbowl the Goverment is Hell bent on trying to regulate and decide what is best for the American Public regarding Media. And it is because of a small portion of the population.

    Here is a little quote I grabbed and it explains what I mean about a small portion

    89 million people watched the Super bowl. The FCC received about 200,000 complaints against the halftime show. That amounts to .2 percent. Yes, that is point two percent. Since when does a .2 percent disapproval of something hold any weight? Could you imagine going to a show with 500 people and having one person at this show tell the manager that he was offended and doesn’t think it’s good for the other 499 people to see the show? Anyone in his right mind would tell the guy to get lost. He’s .2 percent of the audience. You wouldn’t consider shutting down based on that one complaint. But that’s what’s happening because the rest of us don’t make a peep

    quote taken from Anthony Cumia of the infamous "Opie and Anthony Radio Show"

    Since that small portion of people issued their complaint the wave of Cleaning up Radio and Television has begun to get a headfull of steam.

    Howard Stern was pulled of 6 Markets including Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Florida; Rochester, New York; Louisville, Kentucky; San Diego; and Pittsburgh. Those people in those areas have basically been told this is too harmful for you to listen to so We are taking this option away from you.

    I know alot of people don't like what Stern does or says but the point of this isn't about him or what he delivers.

    My point is that this indecency Act is going to start affecting us more ways in the future. Not only will it be aimed at Television and Radio but it will extend into Cable Broadcasting, Satelite Radio, And eventually the internet if you ask me. The FCC has already been asked to possibly start regulating Sattelite Radio which is like Cable in which you pay for it. So it's not Publicly Broadcasted. This is an outrage if you ask me. If I pay for a service and want to listen to Howard Stern or Opie and Anthony or other shows that are deemed indecent by this "Act" it's none of the FCC 's or the Goverments buisness if I choose to listen to such material. This indecency Act is being built as we speak. The Internet, Motion Picture Industry, and various other types of Entertainment, I think are in danger.

    I think Eventually this will spread to Electronis Entertainment. Everyone knows how much a fuss games like the GTA series started, and believe me these people are aware of it and I think have all of our entertainment outlets in their sights.

    Your thoughts?

    I'm working on the problem as I said before. The problem was with how our host handles BW. They allow unlimited BW, but of course with a hitch as all companies do. They have a daily limit of 1.5 gig and we tripled it the first couple of hours!

    That is a good thing, because it tells us how popular the MOD really is, and that makes us happy. It also makes the fan suffer and we appoligize for that and hope this doesn't deter fans of the MOD!!

    Mirrors will be up soon!!!!!!!

    On a side note we hope all WOI fans will join us on future releases on the HL2 Engine!!

    OOORAH!!

    I think I let the cat out of the bag :devil:
