"Nuts"

U KNOW U CAN GO TO AN AOL CHAT ROOM LIKE CERVER, OR CERVER 2 AND DL IT FROM THERE, ITS TWO CD'S TOO.

ive just been over at the official mohaa forum and it appears that a version has indeed leaked out to warez sites etc. apparently there are two cds. 1 with 49-15 meg files on and the other with 50-15 meg files. coming to a grand total of...1.34 gig!!

although i m not sure if the info is entirely accurate, if it is a bad time for it to happen.

Yeah, I believe Fairlight released a pirated version of MOH:AA.

I have to disagree that pirating is immoral. It's a situational morality. However, I also feel that paying for any software you use is the only noble thing to do, and that includes video games, even if you do think they're expensive. I also don't think we should start a piracy argument, since there's always going to be some people who see a need for piracy, and others who adhere to the law. More power to us all.

I may get the pirated version, cause I'm anxious to try the game, and I've killed the SP demo 3 ways left of tuesday (who the hell invents stupid phrases like that?) http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif But I still plan to go to the store on the 23rd with my roommates and buy several copies for our MoH release lan party http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/wink.gif

An addendum to my earlier post, Don't worry about piracy for this game, I imagine they will be using a cd key system similar to half-life for playing online? I certainly hope so. That system at least doubled half-life's sales. Yeah, the single player game was phenomenal, and made it GOTY, however, multiplayer gaming is what keeps half-life going, years later. It STILL sells for 40 dollars, because you can't play online without paying for it http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/wink.gif

Tho perhaps MOH doesn't do anything like that, and that'd be a major mistake on EAs part (but they don't have a clue anyhow) cause I seem to remember a developer saying MP wasn't a big deal to them.

The game does not use cd-key protection unlike Q3A, RTCW, and Half Life.

I was able to get online and play on a rather nice T3 server. It's a load of fun, except for the people who whine about how sniping on the omaha map is unfair because they can't get behind the MG-42's and lay waste to the sand critters.

The more I play this game, the more I see half-life coming off my hard drive (finally). This game is the bomb.

I'm not sure if it was this thread or another, however, this game has been golden since mid-december., and the game was sent out to gaming mags/websites/etc. for pre-release reviews drawing more hype for the masses, and getting more people to buy the game off the shelves.

I imagine that this is how the game was 'leaked', that someone working for a major gaming mag decided to clone off the cds.

People may also have gotten their hands on a pre-beta test

Is it possible of an early release? I have heard rumors of some people getting a copy of it and playing it..... What do you think?

I think it is possible maybe because they released the mp demp early as well. I dont know really
