  1. The games are quite different right now.

    I mean, when in GR1 did you have someone telling you where you could and could not go? if you wanted to go around the long way to an objective, go for it.

    GR1 will live on for me, at least until i can afford the 2-3k for a new rig to run the game right. even then, multiplayer max of 4 players?? not that great.

    Where is the AA?

    I dont understand that GR1 looks better than GR:AW. When half life two came out, you could run it on a PC that could run HL1 maxed out. the beauty was that HL2 looked the same at low quality as HL1 did at high.

    why is that so hard for Developers to grasp? as much work as they have put into it, the graphics in GR:AW are subpar compared to GR1, on my computer.

    Doesnt make any sense

  2. I found it to be quite slow on my comptuer. Its a decent enough system, and I dont understand why Half-Life two will run and look very nice with 4xAA and higher resolution than GR:AW. Obviously this engine is far more inefficent than Source or others (even FEAR ran better on my PC). Its no wonder that multiplayer is capped at 4 or 8 right now. This game is quite the resource hog.

    My computer is a

    AMD barton 2500+

    ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128mb

    1gig ram

    Other than that, I experienced the 'mouse delay' - hopefully the devs can patch that up a little bit. The guns felt inaccurate.

    To me, this game doesnt have the 'grittyness' that GR1 had. I didnt like the urban maps in GR1, and hopefully someone can mod some large outdoor maps for GR:AW.

  3. Ok, I used to be able to host games from my computer without a problem at all. Everything just worked.

    Heres a little info about my connection..

    Rogers Cable hi-speed, 6/1mbit

    D-Link DI-524 Router

    Two laptops, one desktop behind the router

    My external IP has stayed constant.

    I decided I wanted to set up a dedicated server on my laptop. Installed Windows XP Media Center edition (with sp2). Promptly disabled any firewall in windows. Installed Ghost Recon, Expansions, etc... ubi, and the dedi launcher tool, for dedicated servers.

    Now:

    I can host a game on one of my PCs internally, but nobody can join from outside. It will show up in UBI, when someone tries to join, they are greeted with the familliar Connecting... dialog.

    I had opened up the following ports using the Firewall tab on my router: 6667, 4000-4200, 2346-2349. I used the firewall tab because i think that just opens up the ports, does not forward it to spefic computers.

    Nothing was working

    So I decided to put the laptop running the dedicated server into the DMZ. Tried connecting, and nothing. I can still join from inside my network, so its not the computer itself (or any software firewall).

    My friend set everything up in a similar fashion (dedicated on laptop, in the DMZ) and its working fine. I dont know what the difference is.. (we even have the same cable co)

    If anyone has ANY ideas, that would be great. I've been going at this for well over a week.

  4. ok, I placed all the items. When im playing defend, however, I spawn all over the map, not beside my base. I made sure that random insertion zones were off, and i also made sure the base tr0a, etc corresponded with base 0.

    any ideas?

  5. Perfect. Thats exactly what I was looking for.

    One question about the points - you say I need 35 points, are they just supposed to be scattered through out the map randomly? or is there a method of placing them where they mean something?
