Completely in the spirit of battlefield; wing walking was always a valid tactic in 1942. Hell, wing knifing (flying extremely low and clipping an enemy standing on the crest of a hill with your wing dealing collision damage) was a valid tactic.

Fuck realism, battlefield is about arcadey gameplay in a semi-realistic setting.

Completely against the spirit of Battlefield, and against the spirit of gaming.

Exploits are never a valid tactic. Wing walking in BF1942 wasn't a valid tactic and should have been patched out. Bunny hopping has never a valid tactic either. What is different about these and exploiting outside the level, which would typically get you kicked/banned?

It's not an exploit (like hiding in buildings, making you invulnerable), it's an unintended gameplay quirk (like skiing in Tribes) that takes skill to pull off and still leaves you vulnerable.

One is taking advantage of game limitation to play in a way that the developers didn't intend and that fellow players have no reason to expect to face, the other is taking advantage of a game limitation to play in a way that the developers didn't intend and that fellow players have no reason to expect to face.

Standing on a MAV isn't realistic or semi-realistic, it is exploiting the limited physics engine.

Why is this a troll? He sold something that wasn't even a finished product and made millions off it. Now, what he considers a finished product (officially released), requires mods to be what it should have been.

It's not a troll. You're just upset that I disagree with your viewpoint.

But alas, the market has spoken, and the market shall get what it thinks it wants.

No, not the market. The major publishers have spoken. There is a market for other shooters, but it is not big enough to sustain a multinational corporation like EA oder ActiBlizz. These companies have to go for multimillion dollar revenues and the mass market, they cannot afford to make games for a smaller target group.

Game is a blast - don't care what else they throw in or don't. It is fun. It is COD. What more do you want?

Something that isn't CoD.

I'd love to see more ambitious and interesting shooters that experiment more with things like traversal and combat. CoD doesn't do that. It's about as bog standard as it gets.

There are a couple of mods that add 'plugin' support, so you can just drop other compatible plugins into a plugin folder and they just work.

The catch I guess, is you still need to inject the initial mod into the jar file before the rest works.

Upcoming features may or may not be in the release version. For instance, dual weilding is in that list. I'm interested in what's the major changes (specifically new features) between a year ago and now, not what might change in 2012.

As for bugs being listed differently than new features. Sure. Did you read it?
Its mostly things like "New settings in Server.properties: view-distance, allow-nether" and "New Bow shooting sounds" neither of which I care about.

Even if I stick to JUST the new features list on that link, its not a trivial amount of time (unlike your claims) to read that 50 page document.

In addition, with some changes, its hard to tell if they are trivial or not.

Sweet, lmgtfy, my favorite site!

It leads me to this:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Version_history

Which is a GIANT fricken document detailing changes down to the minute. I don't really care about "Fixed Redstone circuits not working after /time set x glitch is now fixed in SMP."

What I want to know is significant features in the last year since they added portals. And I'm not feeling like spending a couple hours reading that giant 50 page document.

Plus a word search for "enchant" turns up ZERO hits in that changelog.

Erm.. actually, people who have nothing better to do may actually find this game fun. Oh, also 10 year olds.

I can see how this game wouldn't appeal to people who are incapable of playing anything more complex than call of duty or who watch wrestling.

Yes, those are additional groups who this game may appeal to. I'm glad we see eye to eye on this.

I haven't played since before they started adding portals to dungeons. My minecraft exe is a bit over a year old.

What are the big features that have been added since then? Someone said enchanting?

Well, Gabe, I'd love to change my password, but Steam won't let me do it while inside the app, and the option does not appear to be on your website either.

"Steam" menu -> "Settings" -> "Change password or secret question"

I had a suspicion that this may have gone beyond just the forums, so I changed the security credentials on all of the Steam accounts in my household (4) as soon as word of this got out. Glad I did now.

If you have Steamguard they literally couldn't do anything with your account even if they can crack the encryption on the passwords.
