Welcome, Nightshift!
Sadly no, I don't belong to veteran players, I bought File 1 back in 2007 but I had no idea how to play online, and somehow I had lots of fun playing with retarded bots in the same 5 scenarios all over and over again
2008, I bought File 2 and liked it a lot. When I beat the game, I wanted to get online, but I was shocked to see that the servers from File 2 were closed and servers from File 1 had shut down on January. Since then, I watched lots of Outbreak online videos on Youtube, thus making me go nuts wanting to play online. The japanese servers were still up a bit more than the US servers, but I realized that too late. So, I kept on playing offline, with retarded bots... A LOT
Imagine my happiness when I saw the news back in January this year! Went through some troubles, but managed to go online thanks to various tutorials and here I am! ... Man, this was suppossed to be a welcome message and I told you my backstory lol
Anyway, good luck and see you online!
Edit: LOOL this is old, sorry! My welcome message is not valid
