Well mostly yes and no. I tried to make the map and give it a name of mohm1 instead of the original mohm6. And it started to load but then just quit on me. hmmph thats kind of weird.

And for the pirated stuff i guess they didnt read my post correctly. What i meant was this. I played ONE level of SP and TWO levels of MP for almost 2 years. MP- The Hunt and Stalingrad. SP- I dont remeber the level name. I wanted the full game really bad. I asked my dad for it but he said NO its a waste of money. I DO NOT GET ALLOWENCE so i cant buy it myself and i dont have a dollar of money. Now since i didnt have any money to buy the Game -Medal of honor:AA- I was sad. Then bout a year back my friend said he had it. So i asked him if i can use it. He said yes. I copied it and started playing it. IT WAS AWESOME. Now if it wasnt for my friend i would still have the demo and be limited to only a few textures and vehicles.

So to say that pirating a game will make the price go up is plain dum. Since i had no money (And still dont ) to buy the game. that does not mean that i am not against pirating. I am against pirating and hope it will some how END. I am sorry if i offended any of you in any kind of way i did not mean to do any harm to your feelings. I am just a very big fan of MOH without a dime of money. (Cant find a job). And before you came along i promised myself that as soon as i get a job i will get MOH:AA and MOH:SP full games from the store.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Its not dum its a fact.

They work out the projected loss compared to projected sales, and add on a suitable amount to the price so that they can recover the money of people pirating the game.

I don't know the exact figures but say they expect to lose ?10,000, and expect to sell 10,000 copies, the price goes up by ?1. This might not sound much but say you bought 100 games, you'd have to pay ?100 extra.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I never buy a game i haven't tested. It's simply too expensive, and there is way too many bad games. Sure, a demo might give you a hint, but not all games have any, especially not the bad ones. So the games i have bought (some exceptions do exist) is due to me playing a copy and feel that it's a game worth buying, or playing a earlier game of the same series (Don't buy UT2003 it sucks). The same goes for most every other type of software i buy. Without cracks I don't think the gaming industry would be nearly the size it is today.

Accessibility breeds a need, and at some point in your life you will have money to buy your games and will probably do so to if the need is strong enough.
