no amount of obfuscation changes a simple matter.
stop allowing the marketing department to dictate development schedules, and expecting the devs to take up the slack created by understaffing.

Rictor, try cruising around the gamespy network, all the armed forces sponsored 'competitions' where you put in your name, address and age.
i suppose that gets around schools and parents refusing to allow recruiters access to their children's details.
of course, gamespy didn't respond to my queries regarding this.

You know it, I know it, the rest of the civilized world knows it, but until the US media starts telling the truth those too lazy to bother finding the truth themselves are going to believe the bullshit they're fed.
You're best not addressing the 'crazies' as Colin Powell calls them directly, they only get excited.

I sincerely hope that all of them that i play games online with aren't drafted within the next few years for Cheney's war.

he said that there's been a trend in il2 where more and more people playing online are using pirated versions of the game, and have surmised that this will affect sales of PF, and possibly put BoB in jepoardy.
I for one, would REALLY like to know where the data for that came from in the first place, since there's no key or auth system within the sim. I think it's more 'if it's available online it MUST be hurting sales', and i wouldn't be suprised if it was the copy protection pimps spreading the doom and gloom.
http://www.diesimfanboi.com has an article that's related to this.

single player is very lacking, but to be honest, i can't remember completing the single player component of ANY rts game i've ever had that had a multiplayer component.
the ork and eldar 'methodologies' for their advancement are awesome. they fall in line with the culture in the TT game. orks in particular rock 'orks orks orks orks'

"I have no idea why this game got 5 stars from Gamespy or why people are so looking forward to it. I played through the single player demo. The graphics are only average, and the camera control is atrocious - couple that with not being able to zoom out far out to get a good overview of the battlefield and you get a game that isn't fun."
because you haven't played multiplayer yet

yes, there is quite a bit less micromanaging - which in my mind is a good thing, i prefer tactical thinking being more important than mouse dexterity.
you are controlling squads rather than units, and you can customize those squads, your thought goes into building a cohesive force of mixed arms. having this mixed force with different abilities dictates the way they can be used to deal with any given situation. it's how you manage your force as a whole that determines whether you win or lose.
in the beta, those people who just threw their stuff into battle like in most other rts's found themselves clobbered by the people who used combined arms tactics. using the map features to help is also a great change - even relatively wimpy units can do a lot of damage to the enemy if they are in hard cover, and are more likely to stay cool.
this is a great game, no doubt about it
looking forward to seeing some fresh meat online

if you're an rts fan - get it
if you're a 40k fan - get it
if you like to see pansy elves crushed in the powerfists of a dreadnought - get it
a nice fresh and GREAT rts game.
(just an opinion from a beta tester and old school 40K player)

doom3 does what it sets out to do - give you a cinematic horror movie experience much like alien2.
the graphics are superb, the sounds are superb, the gameplay is typical FPS fare. If you enjoyed halflife or red faction, you'll love this game.
the gameplay is exactly what you would expect for a marine stuck in a research facility that's going to hell - carnage, scary, FUN - but mostly scary.
if you're looking for a superb single player fps with immersion this is it.

gunfighting, decking, casting and rigging....
a shadowrun MMORPG has a lot of potential - biggest being there really isn't one that could give you the gameplay of it out there already.

I don't agree with not allowing the general public to read their forums.
I also think that ONCE a subscriber you should be able to post even if you later cancel your subscription.
Otherwise the only people posting are the new and the blinkered if a product is crap.

that they are taking their time with TF2.
TF was the first class based game and really birthed the genre. I remember playing quakeworld TF over dial up and having great fun.
I think TF's classes are it's biggest strong point - not only are matches a battle of FPS skill they are also battles of planning and problem solving.
When TF2 comes out it is going to kick some serious freckle if they manage to keep the core of TF in it - I STILL haven't seen a game that captured the feeling of QWTF.
