What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  2. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  3. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  5. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  6. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  7. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  7. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  8. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

  4. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  5. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  7. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  2. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  3. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  4. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  5. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  6. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  7. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  8. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  3. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  4. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  5. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  7. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  2. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  3. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  4. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  5. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  6. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  7. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  8. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  2. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  3. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  4. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  7. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  8. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  4. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  5. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  6. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  7. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  8. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  2. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  4. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  5. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  6. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  7. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  4. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  5. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  6. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  8. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

  4. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  2. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  3. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  4. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  6. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  7. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  5. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  6. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  7. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  2. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  3. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  4. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  5. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  6. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  7. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  8. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  7. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  8. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

  5. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  4. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  6. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  7. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  8. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  2. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  3. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  6. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  7. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  8. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  8. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  2. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  3. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  4. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  5. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  6. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  7. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  8. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  3. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  4. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  7. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  8. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  3. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  4. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  5. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  6. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  8. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  5. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  6. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  7. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  8. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  4. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  5. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  7. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  8. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  5. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  6. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  7. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  8. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  6. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  7. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  8. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

  7. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  4. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  6. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  7. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  8. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  7. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  8. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  8. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  2. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  3. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  4. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  5. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  6. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  7. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  8. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  6. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  7. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  8. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  3. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  2. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  3. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  4. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  5. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  6. Philip P Says:

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  7. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  8. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  6. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  7. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

"Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

  3. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  5. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  6. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  7. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  8. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

  5. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  6. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  7. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  8. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  5. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  2. Golden Says:

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  3. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  6. Lyon_apostol Says:

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  7. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

  8. Charles Says:

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

  6. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

  7. Chris S Says:

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements. Even the so called troubleshooting guide and readme doesn’t help unless your an advanced comp user. PC For Dummies doesn’t go into it. I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m not a total dork either.Teens seem to be born with this knowledge and will even roll their eyes at your ignorance. I need a good book that a normal (?) person can understand. In the meantime tho, back to the orig question…expansion pack….what is it and how do I use it. Is it just a sequal or what? I have a "high end" comp & a "low end brain". AMD 64×2, 2GB RAM, $$ Graphic Card, etc.,etc.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

  3. Skot M Says:

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    Its something u add to the game its for to get more featers like world of warcraft and world of warcraft the burning crusade even though u can play world of warcraft by its self with the expansion pack called the burning crusade u get more like new areas and ne weapens im only useing WoW becoues it a well known game so baseclit the expansion wont work without the game but the game will work without the expansion i hope that ansewers it good luck p.s. srry for any mispellings its 3 in the morning

    Exspansion pcks ad more content to games, i.e. weapons, levels, enemys etc. sometimes the continue the story sometimes they jsut ad crap. and to use them you just installt hem like you would a normal game. if you have the original (which you uust for exspansion packs) then it will see it and jsut slap itsself on rihgt ontop of it. and for games the crash and freeze up. make sure you ahve the latest drivers for video card etc adn the latest patches for your games

    Look at it this way. an expansion pack in it self is not a new game consider it one huge patch that give you new areas new weapons new bosses stuff like that. for the most part expansions can either be stand alone. wich means it dosnt need the original game installed. lik edisciples 2 and all the stand alone expansions, that can be installed and not have to have the previous game installed.

    mods on the other hand can be numores things. alot of ppl will use mods because they change some graphic detail. sounds simple things. but some mods are for ppl who like to hack and is frowned upon by just about everyone i know.

    Probably give you more scenarios, weps equip etc. i play EQ, nine expansions, i think maybe 11.

    sure is good to have the young ones around isn’t it? think about it, teenager, 12-19. nineteen was born in eighty seven. and 12? that was like yesterday to me. concidering they learn a lot before they can even talk, it is like they’re born with the knowledge.

    you get the expansion, you install it. if the game is any good they do everything else for you except you may need to learn new stuff.

    From my knowledge, EXPANSION PACKS are the counterpart of UPDATES and UPGRADES in online gming. These improve playing quality and introduces something new to the player. MODS, or "modifications" are codes that modify playing to the user’s prospective.

    In short:

    EXPANSION PACKS= Update, upgrade

    MODS= HACKS, CHEAT CODES, GATEWAY TO CHEATING

    An expansion pack adds missions or levels on to a game that you already have. It usually has other benefits as well like new weapons and added features.

    To solve the crashing problem you need to look for patches

  7. Thatoneguy Says:

    An Expansion pack is just like a sequel to primitively describe it. It’s a continued story of the last one.

  8. Kiritateru Says:

    While I can’t exactly help you with the PC book problem, I can answer the original question. An expansion pack can be used as a sort of sequel, or used to add more levels, weapons, etc to the existing product. But the point is, you need to have the original game first, and it will add on to that and use the original game’s coding and data to add to the pre-existing game and expansion packs. If you need any more help, though, as someone else, because my graphics card sucks, so I don’t have very many computer games.

What is an "Expansion Pack" & how do they work? i.e. Call of Duty (United Offensive) Expansion Pack.?

I’m trying to teach myself everything I can about gaming. It’s a great way to just have alota fun. However, you even have to be a semi-geek just to indulge in playing a game. "Expansion packs", "mods", .How do I apply them? I’ve got a bunch of games that either freeze-up, crash, or won’t work at all. I meet the recommended requirements.
