Todd you can eat my .....


For those having LAG problems there are known issues with (and you likely won't believe it) earlier nVidia drivers. They cause a lag that seems like network lag, but it will happen even in SP if you are suffering from it. Try one of the newer drivers.

Also though DICE doesn't admit it, I personally believe the rest of the lag issues are due to Client-Side Prediction. Which btw IS from this decade, it's the new solution for LPB's (low ping bastards). This is for those lovely 56Kers who have no hope of killing us LPB's in most games. (Personally I can't stand Client Side Prediction as it causes exactly the troubles we see in BF)

That being said, I play BF ALOT, on many different servers. When I find a server that's causing the lag problem for me (even though I often have a 60 ping to the servers I play on) I simplly go to one of the other 1000 servers that are running at any time for the game.

Sure BF needs a patch, but it's not a crap game like some people here have stated. Simply it pushes what your system can handle. I've seen it run on lots of systems, of every configuration.

UT2K3 is not nearly as (system)RAM hungery as BF is. It requires much more video ram (if you use higher textures) than BF does though.

Well here's our answer to wether we'll see ANY tools released for BF soon.

The game rocks pure and simple. Those having troubles (normally)simply haven't patched the game with the first patch, are using illegal versions which won't allow you to connect to a server (the nocd.exe causes this issue btw) OR they have systems that run Half Life very well but are very low on resources. BF1942 is RAM hungery. You need lots of it to play the game. Isn't this OBVIOUS to people when they read of 32 player games? Especially when there are so many different vehicles being used on a map at once. Get some RAM and watch the game perform MUCH better. If you have less than 256MB of ram you are in a world of hurt with this game. 512 is the min that makes the game nice to play.

Sorry but it's the truth, the game doesn't suck your system does. <-- I normally hate statements like this, but I have seen this game running on a multitude of systems. (I admin monthly LAN Parties)

The big issue about EA and/or DICE right now is they don't want to release the tools for this game. If it was moddable (and it is VERY moddable code wise) this game COULD rival Half-Life for popularity. RAM is cheap now-a-days.

LMAO!!!

You must have comercial talent, we ONLY want the best of the best!

Please respond to our Hotmail account and send along any work you've done (but please keep it under 100K or we won't get it) LMAO!!!!!

I suppose you'll get back several offers to make you rich in 24 hours for only working from home for mear minutes a month!!!!

LMAO! too funny.

Gee is this even more of an example of how they delayed the game so long so it would be a perfect release, and how they fixed all the bugs from the demo?

Epic can bite me, I'm so glad I didn't waste my money on this game.

Actually, Assult got axed because of the terrible AI troubles they are having with the engine.

Thanks #37!

Same Same,

I was all hot for UT2K3, and very pissed at Mark Rein for all his coments that meant nothing.

YES HE DID SAY JUNE 28th, on the German press tour early this year. "Mark, we're just hearing about this game. How is it coming along? Are you going to beable to make the June 28 release date?" MR - "The development has been goingon for a while, we announced it late. I don't see any problem with making that date."

MR - We're going to have a demo around E3 that will be used as a test release to hammer out the last of the bugs.

Enough of this crap about MR having never said a date. He did. AND he's made very missleading statments ever since. It only ever became "when it's done" in July when it was obvious to everyone that Epic and DE were not going to be releasing anytime soon.

I've said ever since E3 that this would be a Christmas release, and I still stand by it. They've has serious p roblems with the AI and pushing UT2K3 back gives them an easy excuse to push U2 back.

BF1942 IS the CS killer that the world has been waiting for. CS is obviously a great game that will be remembered for a very long time, but we need something new. BF1942 is the next great clan game.

Frans! Wow you've added so much to Blue's. You'll be greatly missed. I'm hoping you'll still be visiable somewhere.

The panic must be on at 3DRealms. As Duke 4 gets older and older it is falling behind the other games that are actually getting released. I've said it before... no doubt I'll have lots of time to say it again. DNF is going to be much like Daikatana - a could have been great game had it been released in the right time frame. Frankly DNF, from the video would have been a great game 1-2 years ago. Right now I see so many other great games coming THIS Christmas that just plain eat DNF (at least what I saw of the videos). I don't think we will EVER see DNF. They have fallen so far behind that they have to keep re-tooling every 6 months just to keep up with what is being released then. How can they ever hope to compete with what will be out when they finish the game?

The stock holders won't take much more of this.

Max Payne is a great game, (mostly because of it having nearly no bugs at all) but it doesn't look like it took 4 years to make. It looks like it took 8 months to make.

3DR. Let Duke die. You are talented people make something you have a hope of finishing!
