Just putting my nose in here lads but on the OMG server we once tried having a special mods night at weekends playing FH, DC Final and Star Wars plus a few others (I was given the job of entertainment organisor for this, setting up the maps and rotations )
The result was we got very few new players .....and very few =OMG= players.....on at these times because folks had to go to our forum to download all the maps and patches, and I'd hate to see this happen to your server.
But it's up to you what you do.
Cheers Daft

Alex,

This is a realism mod and when I first tried the other one(Forgotten Hope) years ago I hated it too. It grows on you.

Main differences are
Reg 42 you can do the doge dance and wiggle around. BG42 you get shot at 200 yds by a rife and don't get the chance to close.

Hiding/Ambushing/Flanking/Not being seet and spotting the enemy before they see you just like in real war are the tactics that = a win.

I love em both but have become re-addicted to this mod!

BRING ON BG42 MONDAYS PLEASE!

woot.

So does anyone play BG42 with a crappy computer like mine? If so, how does it run?

This is what the site says:

Hardware Requirements/Performance Tips:

- We strongly recommend at least 2048MB RAM and a video card with at least 256MB RAM and a CPU with at least 2 GHz

But I have 768 ram and 128 mb video card, cpu is Celeron 2.53 GHz so I'm ok there.

Just wondering if its worth downloading and installing with my setup.

Cheers

Hi CowHide,

I just finished my BG Monday session on a pretty weak laptop - a Toshiba Protégé: 1,2 GHz Intel CPU, 2 GB Ram and an integrated Intel GPU under Win7. My framerate is about 15 - 30 fps at best and there are a few maps where it drops down to absolutely unplayable - usually maps with custom building like churches or fortresses (guess they used some insane textures for those, I don´t know).

I am sure your GPU will take a lot of the load my CPU is sweating under. Your RAM might be a choking point ~ if you still run XP you should be fine... with Vista or Win7 you might get into trouble.

But I have to say - even though my frame rate is dampening my enthusiasm as well as my kills - I ENJOYED EVERY SECOND I SPEND IN BG TONIGHT It´s just the best mod for ´42 that is out there. So much love for details, so many different weapons and beautiful additions to known maps. If you get BG to run on your system you really should. It will be worth your while.
