Let’s get this server rocking as we hone our old skills, plant some bombs and save some hostages. We are looking for you old and new friends who want to play at the Cove..yes just like the old days. The past is in our wake and we are only looking forward to the future as we want to try to get everyone back together again no matter why you disembarked.

Counter-Strike Source

Come rejoin us and lets have some fun with on this newly installed server. So if you want something added please let us know in our forums located at www.piratesbloodycove.com (look for our forums link on our main page)

And don’t forget that we also operate BF3 and a TeamSpeak 3 server as well for voice chat, but the great part about Valve is that they have an in-game voice with an excellent mute feature. And CSS still runs on older machines as well. Maps, sounds or whatever please register in our forums so that you can communicate what you want to make the Bloody Cove the place it once was. And if you want admin through SourceMod which is an in-game admin menu to the Bloody Cove please let me know with your steam id.

Arrgggh the days of killing your friends, enemy or coworker sure sounds good doesn’t it?

Please tell everyone that still has CSS that we are back online and that we are looking for you for some serious CSS action at the Bloody Cove!

A lawsuit was filed last Friday against EA by Textron, the parent company of Bell Helicopter. According to the suit obtained by Kotaku, Textron’s lawyers demanded that EA cease it’s depiction of Bell’s helicopters in Battlefield 3 on December 21st. The talks broke down and the lawsuit was filed against EA.

EA is confident that the depiction of the helicopters in Battlefield 3 “are protected by the First Amendment and the doctrine of nominative fair use.” Also noted is that the cover of BF3 has a disclaimer that states “the appearance of real-world weapons and vehicles does not constitute any official endorsement by their maker.” Adding that the Bell helicopters are not given any prominence over other vehicles in the game. The three helicopters are the AH-1Z Viper, UH-1Y, V-22 Osprey (singleplayer only).
