Step4: Launch MOHAA and enjoy intro. Once you get to the map room, go to the Options (radio) to set audio, video, and controls. Leave the keyboard settings the way they are. But, do look at what each key does! (W-forward; A-left; D-right; S-backwards; E-use function; R-reload; T-team only talk; Y-all talk; 1-pistol; 2-rifle; 3-sub mg; 4-mg; 5-bazooka; 6-grenade; F5-quick save; V-send funny messages and commands; TAB-lists objectives, view players) For your mouse settings, go with smooth and always run settings (hint: you can walk "silently" buy using the SHIFT key at the same time!). The most important settings are your VIDEO settings! Do not crank them up or you will experience poor performance. Go with LOW settings and no extra stuff as weather effects, wall decals, texture compression, shadows, static decals, dynamic lighting, and smoke. If you want to crank up something, crank up the EFFECTS DETAIL to hear and see the battle! Here it is:

Step5: Boot Camp! Go to the New Game (large map on wall) to select BASIC TRAINING. Listen and learn! You will have an opportunity to learn movement and weapon training. Good luck! When you have completed basic, report back to the Map Room for deployment!

Step6: Deployment boy!!! You are now ready to drop into some multiplayer action! Go to the Multiplayer DOOR, and enter. You can now enter the world of online gaming, boy!

Step7: Select multiplayer options (locker room). Enter your player nickname with the tag (CHO) in front of it. You are a Cameron now, boy! Select your Allied and Axis skin you want to play in. There are many options here. Select your Net Connection based on your internet connection (56K, cable, dsl). Make sure this is set correctly! If you are high speed, make sure you do not select modem as your net connection!! Check Force Models (X) to improve game performance. Hit APPLY, and you are done, boy!

Step8: Deployment to our server can be accomplished by selecting the door (join existing multiplayer game) next to the locker in the multiplayer room. Select JOIN INTERNET GAME, and enter the following IP/Port address: 208.167.232.68:12203. Now, click CONNECT TO IP ADDRESS. You will now be deploying into battle on our server!!!!! Do us proud, rookie!!!

That's all! I hope to see you soon on our server, and if you want some one on one instruction, let me know, and I will walk you through it. It seems like a lot of info. now, but you will get it, boy!

P.S. If you want some blood in your game (the original comes with no blood out of respect), click on this link(http://download.filefront.com/966069;9f2451929e6ccce78b4aa5be83ba4004b6b8ef9eab550f18f705a04432049ff66e979ddbc5d1c7b1) and download it to your desktop. You will have to extract the blood mod (pak3 file) file into your Programs----EA Games----MOHAA----MAIN folder for the mod to work. We play with a lot of modifications to the game because they add to the fun factor, but you need to extract them into this MAIN folder for them to work. There are many maps that people have created, but you need to have the map file in your MAIN folder to be able to play it on our server. All of the map mods we play are on the web blog at https://chomohaaclan.tripod.com/advance/, and you can download the pk3 files into your MAIN folder.

UPDATE!!!

Connecting to our server in Montreal PRIVATELY!!!

We have had a lot of public players crashing our server, so we have made it a private one for now. To get on our server, you will now need a password!!!
