Will this meet requirements

[elmerlee]

I just bought CFS for $18.95 on Ebay but I am wondering
if it is what I need.

This is a packaged CD with the name XPLOSIV on the face of the package.
I guess it is a legal copy with 2 CD's sold by this company.

But it seems to me I saw somewhere in the "destroyed posts" that this would
not work for OFF.

Hope I have what I need. I would appreciate anyone with knowledge of this to give me a heads-up. Thanks.

That's $20 Brand New . . . no scratches

And MOST Important: it's Microsoft, not a made in China Copy

Your reply does not answer my question.
And I already bought the one I mention and I'm tryomg to find out if it will work?

[Sabrerattler]

It will work fine, I have the same.

It says it's allready patched up to date but you must patch it anyway.

( to the best of my knowlege) It must be a Microsoft Disc to work PERIOD

If you wanna try that one ( be my guest ) :kilroy:

If it works post here, so that I may learn

If not, I guess I'm right

[elmerlee]

Thanks sabrerattler. Glad to hear it.

[elmerlee]

Gimpy - not really necessary for that type answer was it ?

In the UK I've found that the XPLOSIVE published version has been the norm for years, pity as I hear the DVD could be useful.

:wiggle: Hey ho Elmerlee... The answer ?? I think so too.. I have exactly what you have described.. and it works !! you need to follow the DVD path and down load updates 3.1 and 3.1a even though the thing may have a read me suggesting its 3.1 in the box you should download it..


you haveto get hold of the DVD of phase II from some nice person.. there are some :kilroy:

I have had a little trouble with my joystick but its nothing to do with CFS3!! I think its something to do with OFF and me..


:173go1: Anyway welcome to the mad house.. and be nice to gimpy, it's good for the soul...

The last CFS2 set I ordered from Amazon were XPLOSIV. M$ aren't concerned with "old" software so they licence other companies.

Like wehyam, I think you're set for OFF, MAW, or ETO Expansion

welcome elmerlee
Xplosive version is fine, I have one. Relax.

Most CFS3 cds and DVDs will are fine with P2 and even more so with P3

[elmerlee]

Thanks much to all of you.

This forum seems to be a great place. I'm looking forward to being a part of it and looks like OFF2 and OFF3 are great.

[Gousgounis]

and looks like OFF2 and OFF3 are great.
Indeed they are!! :applause:.
By the way, 2 weeks ago, Winder mentioned something about announcing the release date of P3 in 2 weeks. The deadline is over. I am gonna eat Polovski's hand (he gives us too many treats damnit!) as I promised :d.
