I can not program.

BTW if anyone decides to host a semi-coop (e.g. in DF mode) in HL now, will it launch in the same way as original Il-2? Players will take slots in HL and then join server when host starts mission? Anyone tested it?

give it a try, you might be surprised.HL has been out of Beta mode for Dover for months. ;)

I am not much into coops just want to know in case someone asks at sukhoi.ru.

i posted in wrong section..sorry, yes Ataros it does launch from lobby No Problem and even faster because it goes right to server just like il2 by passed everything in the past

;)

Does it still fail to count players properly?

+1

Ermm you do know how IL2 mission work dont you? You do know that we all have tha maps on our own computers and its simply a .txt file or two that is sent accross to the client. You make it sound like the server renders everyones graphics...

Do you realise there is proberbly some monies involved with Ubisoft and Steam and that the devs and 1c proberbly can't touch HL with a barge pole?

Unfortunatley the best way right now to see all the servers is through Steam. ATAG hosts a free to use team speak 3. Having a chat feature is redundant. Why type when I can actually talk to someone?

Has HL had a GUI facelift latley? Last time I used it it was like using something from windows 3.1, it really made me mad and all I wanted to do was change the file directory and I could'nt remember how to do it. This is why I uninstalled it in the first place.

ermm...is your name Black6?

I understand how it works and if you think its just sitting there in the background doing nothing you are mistaken.And we are not talking about some little sandbox game now are we?Not many other games have the draw distance that this game has.And that is just one thing.When was the last time you were actually in HL?
like i said before people..I might be HL STAFF but im not saying we HAVE to use it.
If you can do something better then do it.How do you recruit??I dont know about you but we dont let any "Joe Shmoe" in without seeing them in A lobby 1st.This community has ALWAYS had a place to go.more than just having a forums. Thats all im saying.Lighten up man.

all im asking is that the client server be looked at.


PS...If there were monies involved...SOMEBODY is getting RIPPED OFF!!NO way would this so called STEAM support worth paying for.They could care less about Dover

I agree, HL was a must for evrything,coops,war,community,meet new people,chat,problem solving etc....nothing to compare with Steam chat etc etc...


Sorry Mr. 5./JG27.Farber ...did you ever played Il2 with HL? no i think also reading your post...if yes how you can't not willing to have back HL or something similar for COD?
Im not polemic, just curios.
I still remember when I used to log in HL and see all the squadron mates connected, all the friends nice to fly with..all the enemies nice to fly againts etc etc...
or I can't forget to stay locked watching the coops section of HL waiting for Aviar ( a fantastic coops creator in IL2 community) logging in and open a coops..just rushing to join in before all slots where taken.
Or even with al the IL2 wars etc etc....sorry but now this is missing for all the community,it was ( and is still for IL2) the community PUB;)
Is my personally opinion
"de gustibus non disputandum est "
S!

It is possible to start a game group in steam for IL2 (there may already be one) and publicise it. Then people could join group chat and it would work like a lobby to an extent- talk to people in realtime, join games your sqquadmates are in, organise coops etc.

That would unify the community a bit more I should think.
