Im an absolute and complete n00b when it comes to online gaming and i wouldnt mind a bit of advice from experienced campaigners

i have some "evaluation" copies of games and basically i want to know how the hell i can play these games online without punkbuster or anything like that giving me grief

Im keen to try BF2 and even oldies like Quake 3

i have no problems with single player cracks and the like but online seems a bit harder to get around

advice would be.. appreciated

its pretty much not do-able unless the server is cracked too (which isp gaming servers obviously aren't)...

um it depends on the game. some will let you on with a cracked serial, others wont. these days most need a legit serial...

...and with every tear a dream.

steam is a cunt, once someone has signed up that cd key cant be used again. as far as i know almost impossible to crack.

even though when Half Life 2 came out, the first 20000 players had a cracked CD....

you can though, run up behind them and chuck a couple of C4 on the tank! run away! bang! WINNER!

what servers do you get on? the only decently fast & busy ones seem to be internode? the in game server navigation is pitifully slow so i havent had a great look around yet...
