Oh no...what? If we have a server we can't hook our mates up via LAN and play the beta?

Nope, LAN Mode got killed to reduce piracy.

To reduce piracy of a free game mod? Or is this some result of the Crysis designers imbedding something that can't be easily altered...

Ohhhhh RF:G is pretty beast, i would recommend it. The destructable buildings are mindblowing, no scripts or anything it all reacts to what you hit it with. Great game, the multiplayer is good but the matchmaking system is a bit shallow.
All of my posts are of my personal opinions unless obviously otherwise.

I'm still not sure wether i should play a Game which Calls FULL CONFIGURABLE CONTROLS, ALL COMPUTER-SCREEN RESOLUTIONS SUPPORTED and other such trivial and standard stuff as some of their major selling points . . Also, destructable buildings are nice and all, but in RF1 and 2 you could, in theory, destroy whole levels. Including the Ground.
hmm. back when, it was only RAM size that limited destructability . . with todays RAM size, it should be no problem . . will have to try if i can get it to run under vista 64 on this beast.

Well, I tried to finish the Crysis singleplayer campaign but the bugs have completely killed my interest ( how about another patch, crytek devs? ).  And as soon as the disc is no longer of use to me, it will become a drink coaster.  So now, I'm neck-deep in Team Fortress 2 ( love that game! ) and Guild Wars.

Zbrush, 3dsmax, xnormal and photoshop (with a smattering of Crazybump) is all I'm playing at the moment.
