Why do people think the long delays are copy protection?
Is it the ages spent showing the "loading." screen? Or is actually something really something vaguely connected to copy protection? I say this because the "loading." screen's long delay has absolutely nothing to do with copy protection. I have 2 computers right beside either other and I frequently play co-op on these with a friend. Whenever we finish a map, the server loads the level. When that's done, the client(s) load the level. While the server is loading, the clients see "loading.".
Stupid system? Yes. Unique system? No. In Medal of Honour, the server loads while the clients see a black screen with the scores. The reason this is as annoying is because MoH maps are much smaller with much less textures and so on to read, so the server's delay is shorter and the client's loading time is shorter.
I believe there is a brief CD check at the end of a level, which probably is useless, but that's only a few seconds. The problem is that BF1942 levels are huge is disc space size, and possibly they aren't loaded as effeciently (possibly - I have no way of knowing what it's like).
Whoever started that rumour (and I know it's no one here) should have researched more.
