argh.. file planet did it to me again... had 2 minutes left till the D/l was supposed to start and I dropped my connection. Any other place to get it from that you know of?

Well, I was going to download it, but the smallest wait time on FilePlanet is 79 minutes

I am on a T3 and want to get it but it keeps telling me to sign up for fileplanet and pay or something...What exactly is this?

I got the same thing saying I had to subscribe if using the personal server if you scroll down you can use the public server for free but there is a wait time.

yes...that is correct. You can download from fileplanet for free on the public servers but, you must wait in line to start the download.

Here are a few mirrors (no waiting time): http://www.extreme-players.de/downloads.asp?ID=4346

It turned out Crave released a beta made about 2 months ago, so you will find some annoying bugs, the game will crash and it will feel a bit laggy.

Private beta 3 was excellent, though, and I expect the full game to be even better.

Even with the bugs and only one map (incidentally one I'm not very fond of), you should be able to get the feel of the game after playing it for a couple of days. I say a couple of days because it takes a while to get used to the realistic ballistics system. A lot of players (including me) didn't like it very much at first, but wouldn't be able to go back to games like Counter-Strike now.

For those interested, here are some Global Operations screenshots I made recently: http://www.madgamers.net/news/view.php?id=450

Here are some older screenshots (some may have seen those already): http://www.madgamers.net/news/view.php?id=418

Btw, you can find me in game as evEndzhar[obt] and on the official forums as evEndzhar.

IM staying with Tactical Ops. I played GO for a few days now and just think the gameplay in TO still 0wnz all other swat vs terrorist FPS's.

I must give GO credit for the in game sound effects though. It is the best ive heard by far. when grenades go off near you in tunnels...OUCH...that ringing in my head feels as if its never going away!...sorry for dble post
