I bought it too. Had to give up on the special edition, though, so now I have to install SIX discs worth. Sigh. (Stupid Best Buy...)

yea, from what I gathered, from EB special edition has been sold out for 6 weeks wow what a game!!! i think dvd-rom should've been necesary, with the game needing 6 disks(5.5Gigs) i was impressed with the usual deathmatch fanfare, then played onslaught, to get a grip on vehicles(nice!!) then started playing assault, and I"m in love, mothership is definately the most inovative game I've played, starting you off playing in starships, of all things!! and I must say that has set me on reinstalling my joystick, lol hopefully seeing some of yas on soon!

I went into EBGames looking for it today, and the guy told me only 4000 special editions were made.

Yeah, I think they underestimated the popularity that the DVD edition had. In the past games that have come out on DVD and CD have had the DVD hersion not sell very well, maybe this is a good sign of things to come, I'd rather have the game on DVD, less cd's and the nice storage (much better then paper cd sleeves) <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> LoS/Soup has a server running onslaught.

I'm having 3 problems with this game: 1)in 1-player games, my keyboard does not respond, and will quit completely(it is a MS wireless bluetooth) a problem I do not hav ewith any other game, I would consider, that is being demanding on my system, except when I disconnect this keyboard, and run witha ps2 one, it does the same things(sticking, which I thought was keys, but I've thoroughly cleaned now, and it does not respond at times) this isn't steady, or I wouldn't be halfway done with the tournament. 2)in 1-player games, if I enable my joystick, through the options console, problem #1 gets worse. 3)in multiplayer it takes SO long for the game to load, that most of the time, I will miss the first match in assault, or domination, any theories on improving this? could the DVD have fixed this?? and thanks Mal, I hope to see you soon!

forgot one nasty problem I've been having, if I play more that 3, or so maps of the 1-player game, I get a BSoD, might be a memory leak of some kind, I"m not sure, its just plain ugly to see <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":(">

new map available, first ut2004 "ownage" map, found it under community, from the main menu, of the game. then once you are in ut2004 community, goto "Ownage Maps" and it is available for download there! http://home.earthlink.net/~nilkilla/Nil ...

Nilk, I'd recommend you check your driver versions (MB, video, audio) and scour your system of adware/spyware. Those have been known to cause problems in the past... The keyboard problem is weird. Might be your motherboard drivers, though. What kind of MB have you got? For troubleshooting, try doing things like set the system to low-res software rendering, then set the video back and turn off the audio completely. Might help you isolate the issue. <img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/> XMEN member Card-carrying DTM OKL Fish-napper Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.

Dude. Overclocking could certainly be an issue; some things are more picky than others. So, things to try, one at a time: 1. Set the clock back to normal speed 2. Update your MB drivers 3. Play sans sound 4. Play with software rendering

know what the good part, about all this is? I have toplay ut2k4 over and over, to tell if it is crashing anymore <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"> sweet <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> I have adaware scanning at boot, everytime now, so I SHOULD be spy/adware free, testing that angle now <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D">
