LOL...

My K/D is also up to ****e... Hopefully I can recover this afternoon!
I soothe myself with the knowledge that that 250 will disappear in the sea of Kills after 12 days or so now that the fragging can commence.

My BO decided it needed 320MB for the MP and 200MB for the SP for files that couldn't be verified. Good times on 384.

:/
That can't be right. Reinstalling from the DVD should give you the 102mb initial update, 8mb patch and 2mb rcon updates only.

I've had it installed since launch. It just decided that it couldn't verify those files. I was too lazy to do a reinstall last night, since first it was just the mp, so I thought, well downloading 320MB is less hassle than reinstalling and dl'ing 200MB (100MB each for MP/SP). But this morning, when mp was on its way to being done, the sp came up saying it needed 200MB. So I need about 250MB, which is still less hassle than reinstalling, but I would have done it if I knew this would happen.

Well, I came home early and just played a full 30min of flawless, lagless HC S&D. All my probs are practically gone. I see more SA servers now (still not as many as my wife does), we can play at the same time with no lag or disconnects. Damn I just did a 40 K for 21 D game .. I'm loving this already! If that is what one little update can do ... wooo hoooo And best of all its light on the network, up was about 10kb ave and down about 30kb avg. So guys on 384 should play nicely!

AFAIK you can invite friends to servers etc. You just need to add them to your Steam friends list.

Yes, but I was asking if you could group up before joining a server - which then causes you to join a server as a "party" on the same side.

Fun for playing with buds over Skype. This was possible with MW2.

Any ideas?

Well, if you wander onto HC territory I will be sure to kick your arse!

What about I meet you both in a HC match? ;)

No, seems those days are gone. If you have your own server or use an empty one, you might get close to having all your buddies on the same team.

After the patch, the game is now playable. I do still have annoying spikes still though. will go constant 90fps then spike down to 50 every 5 seconds.

It's just because we are still at work. ;)

Assuming you are in JHB, zaps still have a couple of copies, but I am sure you will be able to get where ever you are.

Sigh. I have had it with this game. My ping is still on 700ms after the update.....it appeared to be fine this morning, but I guess it wasn't.

Both Cod4 and Modern Warfare 2 works fine with my Mweb account. .....................

Any ideas? Help will be appreciated.
