Hi All,
I finally figured out how to connect to an external server (using Steam's server browser finally worked, which wasn't at all intuitive).
And it's *great*. Spent a lot of time dieing, but got a few kills. First map was Leningrad, which was a bit depressing, but I finally managed to get the engineer class to clear the first barricade. I died a lot to snipers without even knowing where they came from. I missed a lot with the rifle, I got a kill with an MP40 (and promptly died to his buddy). and got bayonetted in the back by a very smooth opponent who got two of us with bayonet in a row!
I'm discovering that when I rush to use iron sights, I'm accidentally moving the mouse-wheel and changing to hand grenades. So I move into a bunker, see an enemy capturing it, and go to lift my rifle and suddenly find I'm holding a grenade! I throw it anyway, and turn and run, jinking and weaving as the guy opens up with an MP40 scaring the crap out of me but failing to get a hit.
*boom*
Blinde gets a kill!
