Check out Obsidian Edge It is a mod of Far Cry. It is an effort of several people, many of them are members of BSR. They are making this mod to be a tactical shooter. It is very good and is in beta testing right now. Beta 2 will probabaly come out Thursday or Friday of this week. To get the mod you need to go to the OE Site and request to be a Beta tester and sign up on thier forums. Here is a teaser video. I have watched it several times and it is really good. Its well worth a try if you have Far Cry it is a free mod. If you don't have Far Cry then you can buy it for about 20 dollars and have two games. Lets face it, we all hope that GR2 is good, but the odds are against it.

We have been having some great games. Usually 10 - 12 in the server most night 8pm EST to 10pm. Several of the OSS guys are playing and I have seen some of the other old GR player come in and so far I haven't seen anyone post that they didn't like the Game play. What is neat is they are using the basic map from GR and changing it a little. IMO making them better. Hope to see some of you guys in there.

I don't have Far Cry, but will try to get it soon. It might not be this weekend but as soon as I can. Haven't seen anybody around in the local GR servers lately, so have been around the AA circut of NOBS and Boston Massacre servers. New maps of Urban Assault and Woodland Outpost are pretty decent, but as any game, hackers spoil the time.

Sarge, You should be able to pick up Far Cry for 19.95 + tax. This is for Beta tester right now but they are planning on releasing it to everyone soon. You will enjoy this. One of the reasons I started playing is because no one was every in the GR servers. AA is full of hackers and I just lost interest in JO. There isn't another game that looks like GR and this one Doesn't either, it looks better. It also plays Better. Let me know when you get it. If anyone else want's to play a fun game go to the OE site. I posted a link above.

Sarge, What were your first impressions? Just wondering what you thought. I know you didn't get to play long but I'm sure you have some ideas about it.

First impressions were very good. It is definetly a step above what is out there right now, minus the hacker situation. Will try to mingle with you and the others more than I did last night, only I'm being pulled in a million different directions right now. To anyone reading this post, I recommend this Mod for Farcry. Very good graphics, and gameplay is set up like GR. Contact Thatsmr2u or myself if you want more info. Will see if Mac computers will be included. Also, this mod is in the Beta stage, it might be an invite situation only right now. Will get that info also. Go to the links Thatsmr2u has posted and you should get more information there. I was not disappointed.

This is a Bump and also.......... If you signed up for the beta and didn't hear anything back, go and apply again. Rugg had a problem with his computer and said he lost some data. Hope you will give it another try. we have been having 16 or so in a server. Mostly BSR and then a few others. Give it a try, I think Sarge liked it.

Yep, liked it a whole lot. Ruggbutt, from BSR, helped me with comms and d/lding the mod. We are invited to join comms when you are entered in for Beta testing. When you get the mod, go into mod and drag the Obsidian Edge icon over to your start menu. This will start you in the mod already, then go to multiplayer, sign on to ubi, and the mod servers will show. Good luck. The mod is really great. Excellant graphics and plays and moves like or better than GR. First play FARCRY to get use to keyboard mapping.
