Agreed, EA should be destroyed. It really is a shame that some of the best companies are being assimilated (EA is kind of like the Borg, but not as cool) and all of their works are being raped in the face is just sad. Oh well, at least there's still Left 4 Dead, Starcraft 2, and World in Conflict: Soviet Assault to look forward to.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! I wouldn't even suggest a rental. This game is plagued with a plethora of bugs and glitches. It's amazing that it's actually a retail game. Myself, Jewbot, and Molotov made the terrible mistake of buying this game and have suffered nothing but disappointment. Co-op is the biggest let down of them all and is the constant cause of myself and jewbot's blood pressure permanently rising. This is sadly just another example of EA finding a great franchise and shitting all over it.
I absolutely love this game (though I can't seem to find my disk at the moment) I played for quite sometime and got to the top 1000 on the leaderboards. The only problem is that I played it way too much in a short amount of time. I ended up doing everything there was to do and took a break. I still play from time to time, and I'm really looking forward to Soviet Assault (Soviet campaign:biggrin: ).
Well, my family never had the money for me to have games of my own until I was around five or six. My first real gaming experiences were at a friend's house playing the first Metroid on the NES. After I got a PC I played Wolf3d, Doom, Duke Nukem, Duke it out in DC (awesome game, I'm with you Modgers), Full Throttle, and Mech Warrior + Mech Warrior 2.
Wow he claimed to be a 23 year old captain? Does anyone else find that to be ridiculous? It takes years of prolonged service to attain the rank of captain. This isn't battlefield 2, you can't make captain by stat padding. Hey bill *cough* evin *cough*, the next time you shovel that kind of bullshit, at least make it a believable lie.

Calm down snipey, I decided to look and I couldn't find anything solid. There are a few blogs and forum posts that say something about a free, year-long, trial version. However, I think that was canceled. Then I found other posts about the monthly fee going from two dollars to fifteen dollars a month. So I can't really give you a definite answer.
I have a bit of an update. So far, I've been making progress on a "rough draft" of sorts. The grip, receiver, barrel, and carrying handle are all "there" but not anywhere near completed. I'll continue to post updates and hopefully some pictures soon.
P.S. The heat shield around the barrel is a BITCH.
I was one of the few people who actually bought it for the PC. I bought it the day it came out. I really liked the co-op campaign, Molotov and I played it for two days straight on the hardest difficulty until we beat the game. It was one hell of a challenge. I like the new weapons, but I was disappointed in the animations. The FNC has the same reload animations as the AK-47, and the M468 was a little underwhelming. But it was good overall.
Thanks, I really appreciate that. I really want to release something that the community would enjoy. It's proven to be a bitch and a half so far, but I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of modeling again. I hope to post some pics of the model as it comes along, and I'll be sure to post a really nice looking render when it's ready. Right now it's looking very boxy... and grey. But I think that's every weapon model in it's early stages. Anyways, I'd better get back to working on it. I'll post more as it develops.
Here's an update. I've been up all night and I finally got an "unofficial" version of 3ds max. It works fine, but I lost my previous work in the process. I think I'm doing a better job this time around, but seeing as I haven't worked with 3ds max since my freshman year of highschool, and I haven't EVER worked on this particular version, progress is a bit slow... to say the least. However, I won't just give this up, I'm really looking forward to releasing this to the community and I hope to get it done "soon".
Well, after careful examination of the gun on multiple websites, it seems the ammo counter is on the right-hand side of the gun. So it wouldn't be seen by the player. (To hell with making a right AND left handed version.) And now it seems that my 3ds max is being extremely gay so I'm forced to pirate it. We'll see how it pans out, I really hope that I can make this work, I REALLY want a damn pulse rifle.
Yeah, it's a shame there's no gun in CSS with a grenade launcher. I might be able to port it into HL2 and replace the SMG. I'm just glad that the M41A fires caseless ammo, I was freaking out trying to figure out where the shells ejected from.
