Ever hear of the lady who spilled coffee on her lap from Macdonalds, she got 2.5 million. She bought coffee , she put it between her legs while driving, got into an accident, spilled and burnt her, She got millions.

NEVER underestimate the stupidy of civil court.

I don't think you understand what I said: Ghosting is following the other team around while dead. IOW, you join the opposite team as your buddies, die and them tell them exactly where the opponents are.

Not just this version: GHOSTING.

Ghosting is the ability of someone to 'look over the shoulder' of the other team. How is this done you ask. It is simple. Have a buddy join the other team, when he dies you now have full access to where the other team is by using external voice chat programs like TeamSpeak. This is because AA decided a long time ago to allow you to ghost around the map and see exactly what was going just about everywhere, including following a player.

There were a large number of suggestions to fix this issue but the devs decided that listening to "CLANS", "SQUADS" or whatever you want to call them was more important. In fact this game never had in game voice chat till this version: Which is shocking considering that the Engine has it built in. In fact they would have had to make a effort to turn it off.

I wonder sometimes just what is Taboo in games.

For example

We have games that allow the killing of 'people' (simulated of course)
We have games that allow rape
We have games that allow armed robbery
We have games that allow all kinds of unspeakable crimes

BUT for some reason a taboo subject is one that MIGHT show US soldiers in any other light except HEROS.

As a 28 year vet I can tell you it is high time we show ourselves for what we really are, HUMAN FREAKING BEINGS, who make terrible mistakes. After all the US military is a rather large org and with that comes the fact that they are going to recruit psychos, rapists, murderers and all kinds of other scum, that is a fact of life. Are you all like that of course not no more so than all of islams are radicals.

Yes, soldiers are ready to be shown in perhaps not this perfect light

They should have also pointed out that this game is already out in the scene as well, which means if I were to want to play this game without worrying about activations, I can, free of charge.

DRM sure as hell is designed limit the after market.

If you think the A10 is coming out in a year or less, I got a bridge I would like to sell you. Black Shark was announced for a 2006 release and it just came out late this year...sorry, good luck seeing this until at least 2010.

I for one will not buy this game, no matter how good it is.

WHY???, I will not reward this kind of total incompetence from the PC gaming industry. 3drealms has shown WHY a developer should have a publisher looking over their shoulder, 10+ years and nothing to show for it YET. Remember this is a teaser , remember a trailer in 2001, and nothing since. Sorry 3d realms you won't be getting my money

Personally, I doubt most people even know what Cubase is, which means very few people want it. Remember the popular something , the more people are going to try and crack it.

MustyOdor: The last refuge of the fanboi, playing silly bugger games with an online handle. Of course you are a fanboi of BIS.

Dmitri: I know exactly what is being discussed here. And you are obivously a bit of a BIS Fanboi and are failing to lay the blame for any failure of this game where the blame lies, at the feet of the developers.

I wonder if some gamers EVER blame the developers for screw ups in their game instead of blaming the publishers all the time, that is getting OLD too. Developers are the ones who create the bugs and do testing as well. Developers don't just hand a game to a QA team on the publisher without testing it internally.

@Dagok: If you did it as many times as 3dr has, if it took you 10+ years to complete your hypothetical project, you damn right I would call you incompetent.

@Marshall Law: I am trying to say that your post shows that you are willing to reward total and utter incompetence. DNF is a failure by any measure of standard, 10+ year in dev, too many 'restarts' to count and in reality , no end in sight. This is a teaser, we had a full trailer 6+ years ago and nothing since.

@Tigger: I think if you look up fanboi in the dictionary , it says "See under Marshall".

@Marshal: Do you really think that DNF is their vision: Do you really believe that 10+ years of Dev is their vision: This game shows what happens when incompetence is let loose. This game won't be their vision: their vision has changed how many times now, I have lost count. I highly doubt this game is one they are going to be proud of in the grand scheme of things. As an example Crysis, is a game to be proud of and it didn't take 10+ years to make.

The point is this, while SOME might cheat the benefits to allowing modding FAR FAR FAR outweigh the couple of people that might cheat and I call BS on their reason for not allowing full modding.

Here is their answer to a question about modding.

Q: How modifiable will DCS be?
A: Our number one goal of any tools to modify the program will be to maintain multiplayer compatibility between players and as much as possible neutralize online cheating. With that in mind, we will provide an extensive set of options using LUA code to modify certain systems, replace models and textures, and modify the GUI.



Have you ever seen such a load of BS in all your life. The community for LOMAC and most Flight Sims is unbelievably small in comparison to FPS and other genres, the multiplayer aspect to that community is tiny, and yet they a worried about the 10 or 20 people who might cheat. That is utter BS, since the community is so small, there isn't going to be groups of FSers who will hack and slash their way around a system of CRC checks when joining a multiplayer server for a flight sim, we are a completely different mindset when doing multiplayer action. The time we spend simming is all about being a realistic as possible and cheating would defeat the purpose for the person cheating.

Lets face it, they are going to come out with addons and they don't want the mod community competing with that. Their LUA stuff does not allow someone to add new aircraft. Jeez, it would be too easy to add CRC checks to their program that when you join a server you must have the right aircraft to join that server. Either these guys don't understand their own community OR they are lying, either way isn't a good thing.

Flight Sims are a niche market and a company should be trying to expand that market , not shrink it. Look at MSFS, the modding community is HUGE and so are sales (in comparison to other Flight sims), that isn't a coincidence.

FSX, WOE, WOV, Strike Fighters all have a ton of modding and yet I have never seen a single cheat in any of those games.

Hahahaha, WITHIN TWO WEEKS, that is just too funny.

Mark, you sure have a sense of humour, the last time he said that it took almost a year to get the demo

I am guessing , Demo "Within 2 weeks".

Come on, you know it had to be said.
