Interesting, although most of those maps will struggle to function properly as their made with old 0.3 hangers.

At the very least, no 0.4 asset will be available. Unless ofc you've tested and found out otherwise =)

I tested SA_Desolation and it doesn't work for 0.4. It also seems i can't fix it for 0.4 without access to the original .cry files. I guess the same applies for SA_Crater.
If you had succes with the conversions though - great, share it. 8)

Same here. It seems to be for people who either live in a different timezone from me or have more flexible day schedules.

It's the same for me, starting at 3am in the morning isn't really suitable for me :/.  Shame I was going to reinstall Wars and the mod to play some but then realised the time difference ... meh.

The best thing about Open Merc Night is that anyone can do it!!  The tools are there for everybody to use, all it takes is 1 or 2 guys to volunteer to run things for the day, the only trick is that 1 of those guys needs to be a server admin.  The key is getting more people on the Outreach TS3 server (69.64.86.24:9989) from your timezone.  If you have 10 guys from the various different Euro/Pacific clans (and of course any pubs that are around) logged into TS and atleast one of those guys has admin rights to a server you have Open Merc Night.

What he said

It's not scheduled, someone just says "LETS DO IT!" and if enough guys agree, they go
"The ambassador and the general were briefing me on the—the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world. And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice."~ George W. Bush

Remember kids, all people are born equal. Some just get dropped more afterwards.

Well if at peak times there are only 60+ players playing MWLL what's the odds that even 10 are european time zone?  Not much I'd say.  Maybe we need to take stock of how many euros there are out there (or those who play on european times)?

I think there are more than you realize, but I think one of the issues is they are not coordinated, on teamspeak 3 or in units. I've been on at these times and the majority are pubs. Its difficult even in the US timezones getting people the community teamspeak 3 info, but I spam it all the time in the servers to try and get the information out there. I think if someone actively pushed the message, and gave a try to organize a few things you would be set.

As previously said, Open Merc Night, is just fun pickup matches with c-bill limit, no respawn. Requires a server admin, which being one, and being on allot and when the majority are on I can just make a post, or hop down to where the guys are in the teamspeak and spread the word quickly. Allot of guys leave public matches just to play these type of matches, they are a blast and so much fun.
