AO...ugly? What were you smokin', man?

Another year, another Colin McRae...exciting!

When does the US demo come out?

I tried the open beta for about ten minutes. All I can do is use the frown face to describe my experience.

It just doesn't feel like Tribes to me. I was hoping it would be awesome, but I guess not.

I wish the Tribes 2 community was bigger because that's still a great game. If friggin' Sierra didn't screw up the release and alienate so many players by rushing it, it probably wouldn't have become so underrated.

The new CO spawn system needs to be tweaked because it takes way too long between each wave to spawn. Two or three skulks can just camp the base and kill each wave very easily.

Sweet. Been waiting for a realistic rally game.

I hope they did it right.

Is BF2 using the Unreal engine?

I always loved the atmosphere in AO. It was a lot easier to get into the feel of the game than other MMOs. And the music is just great. Like icing on the cake.

Plus the graphics are pretty sweet. The sky and all of the different effects it has are awesome (the lightning especially).

I'm getting the urge to install it again just thinking about all of the cool stuff.

LOL, "petty jealousy." You do make me laugh, I concede that.

Since you take my polite request to lighten up a bit as a sign of "petty jealousy", I see that all you want to do is get into pissing matches. Oh, well.

I guess I'll just have to skip over any posts you make until an "Ignore User" feature is implemented (unless I need a good laugh).

That's just the thing; I don't claim to have a mastery of geopolitical knowledge. Yet, you have that attitude that you do. It doesn't matter if you have the Super l33t Master Political Science Degree because you still base your conclusions on other people's theories with a very apparent lack of balance. You already have the worldview you want to be true in your head and because of that you disregard anything that doesn't match up with it. Anyway, this is way off topic.

The point of my original post (which you missed completely because you're set on looking for a fight) was that this is a gaming site. Sure, some off topic discussion can be refreshing from time to time. But when all you do is make it your goal to "enlighten" everyone with your political views at every chance you get, it gets really old. And with rarely an exception the thread turns into something like this one; nothing about the game at all, just a pissing match.

So, pretty please, with a cherry on top, ease off a bit on the politics? Thanks.

It's good to know that certain gamers here read a couple of books and now know everything there is to know about the complexities of foreign policy. Where would we all be without you to tell us how evil the US is in every single thread about a game with some political aspect (no matter how small)? *thumbs up!*

So, is there a big secret now and I have to visit DemocraticUnderground or somewhere similiar for discussion on computer gaming these days?

I just started playing it a bit again after a long break. I just wish I had a better system so I could turn the graphics options up and make it prettier.

Please don't be like SWG. Please don't be like SWG. Please don't be like SWG.

Yeah, those are some great names that it should have been called!

Fucking high schoolers.

Bleh, The Patriot sucked.

Dang. I'd rather see a game with muzzleloading muskets than another WW2 FPS. Hmm, the North American theater of the Seven Years' War would be good.

Oi, give me Tribes or give me death.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was funner than Halo, though.

I've always loved the AO music--even have the soundtrack.

Agreed, Zathrus.

Will you guys stop whining about how much it costs to play? If you don't like it, DON'T PLAY! Dang. It has zero affect on your life, so why are you bitching about it? If other people want to pay for it, let them because it's THEIR money and they can spend it however they please.
