Who are you supposed to be?! Barney Miller?!

Generations got pulled as Wolfenstein and DooM were published by GT Interactive at the time and ID didn't want there to be a legal issue so they had them pull it. ID played the mod themselves and loved it but it had to be done.

Quake2 was published by Activision so there shouldn't be any problem with this.

I'm playing the game right now, I bought the gold edition and preloaded it to my PC last week.

I logged onto steam and it authenticated my game at 4:30 no problem and now I'm in.

I don't know what everyone is bitchin about...

Game runs like ass for me. On the jungle map I have to drop to 800x600 med detail w/ high world detail, shadows and trilinear filtering off to keep framerate above 25-30fps. EDIT: Wow a new low, I got the jungle map to go 16fps with 800x600 LOW detail everything off.


The kicker is that my machine is an Athlon64 3500+ OCed to 2.5ghz and an 6800 Ultra at 410/1.12ghz. 12,700 3dMarks in 2k3 should be proof that this game is just sloppy coding/ unoptimized.

Co-development for PC/Xbox just does NOT work, Deus Ex 2, Theif 3 and now this game are all proof.

Looks like I'll skip this one.

I'm in the beta, its actually not bad at all. I ended up playing it more than World of Warcraft but it has its fair share of bugs and glitches. Good thing its delayed.

Hmm instead of making all these new weapons and maps don't you think they should concentrate on killing the bugs/glitches and at least tweak the god awful netcode before they work on all of this useless crap???

I'd rather have a good working game than a crappy glitchy one with an extra map and a new gun that is the same as something else except a different model.

EDIT: double post

Natural Selection would be PERFECT for the DooM 3 engine... too bad they are using the HL2 engine now

I've played Theif 1 and 2, although I've never beaten either of them I played about 5-8hrs each.(I guess I might install them again and finish both of them) This game is a worthy successor but not as good as I hoped as the game is too cramped up in tight spaces. The AI is a little stupid too, I can crouch right in front of them in a dark room and they won't see me. I guess I'll bump up the difficulty.

I'm buying this game tomorrow, no doubt about it.

Ok, third times' a charm, "Oh no, oh no, this guy is PACKEY!" Seriously, go and play the first one, even the pure action missions were fun(in columbia with a M134 vulcan, tony montana style)

Spring pistols? bah you need to give NJ the finger and use some AEGs(automatic electric guns for those who do not know), gas pistols, and high power spring sniper rifles. I'm one state above you(NY) and so far they let me own a H&K G36, Walther P99, and an APS-2 SV(Steyr SSG PIV).

Wow, a fellow (ex?)airsofter. Not too many of us, but its starting to catch on :). You should visit the message boards at www.airsoftretreat.com , great chat there.

Back on topic, I recommend everyone play the first Hitman and just create chaos in the Chinese missions(especially the one where you have to assassinate the police officer). Those screams haunt me to this day... "Oh no, oh no, this guy is PACKEY"

I can't wait to get my hands on this one.(too bad airsoft guns are draining my $$$ )

I bought the first one the day it came out and I've been a devoted fan since. Anyone who has played the first one will remember the screams of those guys in the Lee Hong Assassination, "Oh no, oh no, this guy is packey!"

This mod easily bests CoD, RO is the best mod ever made.

Try it and you will agree.

They actually introduced blood in 1.4 go install the patch and see for yourself, YOUR the one who is wrong. After they realised what happened they took it out in the next patch.

I've took this discussion to the planet battlefield forums awhile ago and explained the whole thing, it IS lag and if you want the proof go to www.planetbattlefield.com and search for my old post about the netcode. After I took the time to explain it everyone there understood the issue. Sry but I can't recall the exact topic name right now but search for post from BopC.O.P if you want to know the actual truth of the issue instead of assumptions that you think are right.

In the current state the game's netcode is in, id rather die half a second after im shot than lead my targets 5 ft when they are 20ft in front of me when im getting 35 ping.

When are they going to fix the friggin issue with the netcode? The issue where they use all client-side effects on a server-side weapons prediction netcode. At least they could have gone all the way with client-side weapons prediction like SoF2 and HL but I guess they didn't have enough time to complete the netcode or something.

BTW people that means you will see guns firing instantly , you will see the bullets hit instantly and in older versions you would see blood coming out of enemies but they were not really being hit. Thats why you have to aim in front of someone right in front of you even though the bullets are showing him being shots/ bullets going right through them.

Go to run and then type services.msc in and then hit enter. Go down to Alerter and Messenger Service and set both of them to disable. Problem solved, no more pop-ups.

Need for Speed 5 is the best racing game ever... period. I mean they continued the tradition of exotic sports cars, but concentrated on the greatest automobile manufacturer, Porsche, and let me tell you they had just about EVERY single Porsche EVER made in there. They let you buy many parts and tweak alot of stuff while offering a decent physics engine. They also had an in-car view.

Now if EA brought back PU's physics and tuning engine with another great automobile manufacturer(or more) like Ferrari this game would have been a smashing hit no doubt.

But hey, EA is turning into one of those evil pure corprate types, quantity over quality etc...

Anyone that uses a MS FF2 joystick know how to get the damn thing centered? I was probably going to buy this until I discovered this joystick issue.

What I find cool is that I posted a thread about 3D iron sights and they said they would definitely take it into consideration, now that is awesome.

I'm very sorry to hear that Blue, my condolences go out to you and your family.
