I did play a little bit about a year ago when they did a similar thing with re-activiting old accounts and tried my hand at flying but was complete pants

. Anything major i should know about?

Phog · 29 Jan 2006 at 12:52

OOooo. So much has changed. Just be aware of the amount of plasma on Werner these days. Apart from that it's probably best to just give it a go again and see everything for yourself. Obviously BFR's are still around but i just ignore them and fly around them.

OK all installed and patched. As soon as i try and play the game though it seems to be playing the game intro. 1/2 of it is off the screen and i can't press any key to skip it. Left it for a good few minutes and tried changing screen res but nothing works.

EDIT

Found a fix, don't know whats happening though. My char is only BR6 now

. I have loadouts saved with stuff im not certified to use. Whats going on?

EDIT 2

This is really annoying me now, got to pretty much restart from scratch and on top of that whenever i alt-tab it constantly spins me in circles.

EDIT 3

Had to Alt-F4 to get out the bloody game and now when i go back in im constantly strafing right.

Cliffy,
whats your GFX card? if its ATI there have been some klnow problems. also what screen resolusionis your screen set to?
If you have a joystick installed try centering the joystick does that help? also check your key bindings.

Was my joypad, pressed one of the buttons and it stopped. Just working my way through training missions now for free bep. Can't believe i have to start again.

Gonna give this a go. Anyone going ot be on tonight?

Phog · 29 Jan 2006 at 19:53

Hmm, i would never play an FPS game with a joypad tbh! Personal opinion i guess. I will be logging in soon so any questions.

CliffyG · 29 Jan 2006 at 20:03

I'm not using a joypad to play lol, it's just plugged in and i guess it's not calibrated properly. Seem a bit lost at the moment, every hotpost i get to has no one there and i can't seem to find any decent fighting.

beckster · 29 Jan 2006 at 20:25

This is taking a while

CliffyG · 30 Jan 2006 at 01:19

Had a good session today, got in an outfit and once on teamspeak made things a lot easier. Will defo keep playing for time being in between my WoW time

any news on if this is still feb 14th for the win?

also how much is a sub? and how often can you pay ie is there a 6month / 1 year option?

not sure I want to pay a load for a game thats this old tho, I get anarchy online for free!

Phog · 1 Feb 2006 at 23:47

I believe the date is the same. Sub is £8.89 per month. There are 3 month, 6 month and 1 year aswell although i wouldn't be sure of the prices on those.
You don't need to pay anything to try it out, it's if you want to continue after the free period that you have to pay!
Check out this video! (100mb + direct link) !

Well, if i was honest, it doesn't really give you that much in terms of extra content. Maelstrom is the most noticable if i was honest, maybe the radiator. Apart from that, the caves are really dead these days unless you come across the odd random looking to get his BFR qualification. But if it's cheap, why not!?
