This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How many of you play this game? I like it alot. The realism is very good and it can be pretty darned hard if you are playing against decent players.

I used to play pretty often (it was your fault, Willard. :P) until about a version or two ago (I've lost track now) when it no longer worked under Win98 (and was otherwise too much program for my poor dinosaur computer).

I was never any good at it, but I enjoyed playing defense on Bridge Crossing. :)

Me and two of my buddies at work play bridge crossing over LAN. I'm still not great at it, but one of the others is an ace at it and he has taught me a lot. Last time we played I even killed him 5 or 6 times. I won't tell how many times he owned me. :p

I used to play it. It is still installed but I havent touched it in a while.

Pretty cool game.

Too bad there is no single player stuff beside the training.

I play it quite often, but lately other games have pulled me away from it.

Maybe it was just my experiences, but I could rarely find decent people to play with.  When playing a twitch shooter, I don't mind playing with/against a bunch of immature gamers.  But in a game based on teamwork, co-ordination, and respect, playing with immature gamers really killed the experience.

I play it - sometimes for days on end.

I've gotten rather good on Pipeline and Border.  Actually, I'm pretty good at both of those, if you'll allow me to be so bold.

Haven't had time to play it in a few weeks though - too much work.
