Hey all.  This is "the player formerly known as Ravepupy-BK-".  Due to the loss/theft of my laptop and copy of W@W in Chicago recently, I've had to replace all of my gear.  I tried to contact Activision to see if it was possible to replace my disk but I never even got a response from them.  After consulting with many people I have found that the only way to get back on my favorite game is to re-purchase a new copy and go from there.  When I started to set the game up I also discovered that I cannot use my original player name "Ravepupy-BK- because I've already used that name and somewhere it's stored somewhere by someone on something - kind of like an e-mail address.  SO, to rectify the situation I've simply begun playing under a new moniker - Snorri-BK-.  I've already run through a rank-up server to get my standard weapons back into play so I'm not stuck trudging through game after game trying to fight off the likes of Stingray, Lorien, Boostam and many many others with a sub-par arsenal.  I'm happy to say that I've installed all of the required mods and patches and last nights trial run was a very enjoyable success.  I look forward to facing off against you all once again as time goes by.
 As far as what I'm running now, well of course I upgraded.  I'm now running an HP DV8T laptop with a HUGE 18.4" 1080p HD screen powered with an I7-Q720 quad core processor, 4GB of RAM, an InVidia GeForce GT 230M card with a full 1GB of memory and a spiffy new Logitech G500 mouse.  Based on the initial kills per game I've got to say that I'm really impressed and am certain that these numbers should go up once I shake the rust off from my several week absence.  See you on the battlefield.
