\irony on\

with a few thousands player, now thoroughly trained in warfare due to PR, we should be able to mount a commando raid on EA headquarters and "acquire" the source code.

[irony] Don't some of the forum members have enough guns to outfit half an army? We even have some people who are serving or have served. Now we just need to get our hands on some Blackhawks, with or without miniguns. And fastropes.[/irony]

irony?

You'd better use real Blackhawks and not PR ones if you want to make a landing at EAHQ.

Something PR needs

When a black hawk drops ropes for guys to 1337ly slide down onto roofs much like that awesome movie with josh hartnett where black hawks get shot down and the delta force is leet.

I hope you werent being sarcastic, if you were joking I just wasted my time...

If no one knows any multi-millionaires, then we scour the internet to find the most wealthy gamers, and send them copies of BF2+ PR! It's so brilliant it has to work.

I'm calling my buddy bill gates right now!

Hmm maybe the money would be better spent developing a new engine.

I wonder if 8 thousand people spammed Bill Gate's e-mail about 10 times a day asking for 80 grand if he'd do it? lol

Wonder if we did the same to the support team at EA if they'd give it to us or just have us arrested....

Is is $80k for ownership or rights the the code? (I'm gonna go ahead and ssume it's rights cos otherwise that'd be ridiculous). Anyway, is there not some way of setting up a BF2 modding organisation/company/whatever that bought the rights? Then all BF2 modders would have access to the source and the costs would be spread, if such a things at all possible.

There's a list of country numbers.
If you call in a foreign country you'll need the +xxx number.
For example +420 xxx xxx xxx for a number in Czech Republic.

BTW, you're phone bill will most likely grow huge.

Is the Czech Republic the 420 capital of the world?

Heheh, cursed internet and not being able to tell sarcasm without smileys, etc.

Tells you a lot about preconditioning on these forums when we dont know if someones joking or not when they say that...

you can never be certain when it comes to fastropes

Sorry to be quoting myself and be on topic and all, but does anyone know if this is possible.

I imagine it might be, but you'd have to scrape up the money and make an offer to EA. No clue what they would say though, and it's really up to them.
