I will try that, but we have a bigger problem, MWEB fcked up! no SA servers are available yet, the port the game is running on is blocked!

I just got a email from one of mates in clan. His been having same issues as you guys. Anyway he say:

Ya, that would make sense and would explain how we can't connect to our servers with RCON tool.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Firstly - "clan Vympel Vega" ....... ridiculous name, whahahahaha

Secondly - good old SA, screwed again, whahahahaha

 

[Shirou]

Launch and hosting black Ops server at mweb but the ports are blocked? what a joke

 

[Kyubi_ZA]

[The_Pumpkin_King]

Yeah they're waiting for me to get home

 

[Makarov]

ive read some negative reviews and loads of complaints about gfx, bad AI lag etc on the steam forums whilst waiting for this stupid steam pre- lie, im almost expecting a **** game, the screens on steam forum look bad

 

[Makarov]

SERVER OWNERS: Restart Steam now!!!!
They finally released the RCON tool to everyone... who have obviously reserved or purchased the game.

If your server is up, you can start working with it even though the game has not been unlocked for you.

so which servers do we play on??/

 

[Makarov]

Reason for the Steam pre-load EFUP

Steam does not have a midnight release because Activision "sold" the midnight release rights to Gamestop, Walmart and other box-mortar stores(BT Games)

Steam did not get the bid to have an excluding midnight release, which means they have to delay their release to sometime after those midnight exclusive time.

The reason why the date was changed so late in the game was the rights deal between Valve and Activision falling through, or from protest from those that did pay extra for the exclusive release
Baastid stores using games to self premote themselves with "special launches" and buggering up release times

 

[killadoob]

Makarov you realize game stores need to use games to promote their stores right?

I mean when i say it out loud it makes logical business sense to me . Just chill so it's delayed no the biggest of deals . Unless you took the day off work hahah

 

[Makarov]

ya i realise that but it shouldnt bugger the games release date on pre ordered pre loaded(will still give BT games staff the evil eye lol), anyway ya im just bitching, i had cleared my day for it, just tired of waiting and reading bad reviews
