Online works, Just not with the CD versions.

But it's free so there is nothing stopping the CD users from updating.

I'm so ace at this game. I played it all the time and now this gives me reason to own more noobs who think their COD skills will do them any good.

Also will this be moddable like the cd version? If so, everyone download Desert Combat 0.7. It's the best mod for this game.

...why?

I'm guessing game file compatibility issues since they apparently added better resolution support.

Like how you can't play with people on an older/newer versions then yours.

Is this like a free steam weekend where its free until a certain date. Or is it free until a certain date and if you buy it between today and that date you have it forever?
