I have been using HL for the past 8 years (mostly IL-2) and I'll tell you one thing I would like to see. I think we need at least one more Coop Mission on the front page.
Ok, I spoke with aircargo. We both have the exact same problem. We live near eachother (northeast NJ) and have the same provider (Cablevision-Optimum Online).
I've been using HL almost every day for about 5 years, but all of a sudden it is acting very strange. I haven't changed anything on my computer or in the HL settings.
