    I am downloading off "fileshack" right now capped at 150KB/s going to take 5 hours. It is 2.5GB's, so far so good. Change servers!

    I beleive you went to a place where you had to pick where to download from? you pick the one closest to you, but if it does not work pick another. Even pick a different download site! :eek:

    For something as big as 2.5GB, I'd cancel any download slower than 1MB/s. Good torrents can give me about 1.85MB/s

    This is $30 residential cable internet (15/2). T3 is over-rated. Two companies in my area (New England) offer broadband, all the way from teen Mbps at $30 to 100Mbps for $199. It's actually rather anti-climactic. Most internet servers top out at 2Mbps and when I last tried to host a gaming server, I got capped to dial-up speed. Well, I have to admit loading pages instantly is sweet. (I keep my system clean and use an advanced browser, Opera 9.22).

    I love this game! It is probably the best free fps game out there.

    You have to have "Special Forces" status, which means more training missions (the E&E is quite difficult).

    Ugh, the E&E is such a pain in the ass. It's not really hard, just a giant waste of time. As if proning in bushes around retarded AI is relevant to the multiplayer aspect of the game.
