Re: coder application: beat me, break me.

Dragon,

Your qualifications are very impressive, however, we really need coders with modding experience, or at least people who can catch on fast.  I would bet my left nut you can learn fast, but SCHRifle and I would like to verify it before bringing you on.  The way we've been doing it is that we'd like to walk you through a simple import or something on MSN.  We'll evaluate how well you pick up the concepts of modding BF2 and decide if you have what it takes.

Is your email the same that you use for MSN messenger?  I have added that address but let me know if it's something different.  Catch one of us while we're online and we'll get started.  You my want to make sure your game is patched up to 1.12 and that you've downloaded and installed the editor ~50MB.  There are also some public tutorials available for download.  We'd love to have you onboard and look forward to talking with you soon.  Thanks,

DMR

Re: coder application: beat me, break me.

Hey Guys, Thanks for the quick response and positive remarks.  I understand completly, I'd be happy to do an online "level 2 interview".  I'll check the patch and get the editor and go through some tutorials.  I have experience, yes, but it may not be what your looking for and no hard feelings if I dont cut it..., then I'll have come back after doing some practice mods of my own. Either way it's good to establish a working relationship.

My msn is the same as hotmail.  There is allways Xfire, vent, or TS as well.  Though my mic is getting a little beat up. 

PS. Are you still looking for a female voice... yeah haha not for me, Im trying to get my g/f to submit.
