I haven't played this game in about a year and a half and its pretty safe to say that it's dead. For the most part I have had issues with the game using Windows 7, there is no sound. I thought it was an issue with the sound driver on the computer that I was using then but I built a new PC and same issue with the computer with no sound. At this point now the game hasn't been updated in 2 years and the main server appears to be down and it looks like it has been that way for quiet several months now. I remember back in the day a few years ago you could jump in the server and always find a game. I would like to throw a special thanks to Serge and the other programmers out there. A few special players come in mind such as Fuel (Netherlands) who contributed to the 7K rule and revolutionized warfare, always a hard player to beat. Fomka from Estonia another great player, Matal from Poland/Russia who had over a 1000 games or so played, Duke from Czech Republic, Hobbes from Portugal, and a good friend from Spain named Ivan, I am sure there was a lot of other players out there who I failed to name but these are the few that come to mind. Hopefully there is a major update to this game perhaps and we could play again but since its free and the programmers do not get paid, I am not sure if this happening again. Feel free to stop by the Facebook page called "Ufo 2000". Nice playing this game for several years.
