Secret Ops episodes

So, after much searching and searching and reading, I am assuming that
there is no way to get episodes 2-7 other than buying them with
Prophecy Gold. If there is, I'd appreciate a private email telling me
where to get them.

I've been a WC fan since the first one, through II and III and
Privateer. Just came back to it to find secret ops, and that I missed
the episodes. I believe that someone out there still has them, but
getting them is another matter.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

They are out there and not all that hard to find. I don't think
Prophecy Gold is easy to find anymore, though you can probably locate
it somewhere.

Search for some abandonware sites.

Goto the download section - you mat need to register I suppose - If not I`m sure I could setup a
personal server for you to download them :) just email me and I will see what I can do if I still
have the files ... Zol.

Just found the copy`s of the downloads - the main prog is 115,399Kb , and episodes range from 483k
to 1084k - so if it`s episodes you want I could email them or If you have a fast connection I could
setup a temporary server for the full download ... Zol.

Nope. That only gives you access to the first few missions contained
in the big first download.  Origin took down the missions some time
ago, a few months before gold came out.

If you've got an itchy wing commander trigger finger though, you can
get the Unknown enemy fan mod for Secret Ops though, it only requires
the engine download to work.  IMO, the missions are far better than
the original SO missions from Origin.

OSI did remove them when they started to sell WCPG. Distributing the 
Episodes is Warez at this point. Not that they would be hard to find if 
you look around a bit.
BTW: You only need episonde 7 if you are not interested in the fiction 
passwords.
PS: If you want the full fiction as it once was on Secretops.com (pre 
WCPG) have a look at my page: http://www.karl.frank.name/wc
