THat's about as bad as this blonde joke I heard the other day...... I blonde police officer pulls over another blonde for speeding. She approaches the vehicle and asks the driver for her liscense. She stumbles thru her purse...then looks back up at the officer and asks, "What does it look like officier?" The Blonde officer replies..."It's the item in your purse with your picture on it." The Blonde reaches in her purse and pull out this plastic case, opens it and looks and sees her picture. She hands it to the officer, and the officer says, "If I would have known you were a police officer I wouldn't have stopped you." Cheers! Fates

Not me. I'm an ATI user...all the way. Your problem may have been the MOBO not liking the ATI card...and not the Software. There are just to many things that can come into play. I've had 100% good luck with ATI up till now. I'm having difficulty with Battlefield Vietnam. But so is everyone else. NVidia just released a new card...and ATI is gonna follow up with a better one in 15 days....which will I choose....ATI...all the way <C> Fates

Hopefully Dagger can help you get your LOMAC and IL-2 frustrations out of the way. However, your post was about UBISOFT putting out a good product. To that, I must say that it's not really Ubisofts fault. Ubisoft released Far Cry and It's been a blast with few initial bugs, and a patch was released with 48 hours of the game hitting the shelves. BAsically what I'm getting at is that the Developer is responsible for making a quality product by a certain deadline. LOMAC was in desprate need of work as that deadline approached, and Ubisoft keep giving them more time, but you also have to remember that UBI has printers and marketers and shippers that are all expecting a promised job...and they aren't getting it. Ubisoft, IMHO did the best they could with what they had, and any release problems remain completely on the shoulders of the Developer....in this case, Eagle Dynamics. Crytek promised Far Cry would meet Ubi's deadline, and even after their dev studio was raided, and several days of setbacks happened, they still put out a near bug free game on time. I'm sure that other developers have done the same. Look at EA's release of the Janes product line. USAF had only 1 patch if I recall...and that game is still being played. The producers generally always take the heat for Developer problems...but ultimately it's the Developer's hard work and efforts that will decide if they survive to make another game.

Raptor America's Army does this to some extent....and with Version 2.1 to be released soon, and the introduction of RAGDOLL physics, It's only gonna get better. <C> Fates

Actually Zagnut...I think he's officially changed his name to "The Beard" for presidential election purposes...hehe <C> Fates

Read the Review Well, I finally got the Far Cry review complete. This truely is an incredible game that has kept me coming back for more singleplayer and multiplayer intense fire fights. I hope everyone enjoys it, and don't be afraid to ask questions. I think I may be studying up on the Sandbox Editor and may even produce a few HOW TO's for everyone if their interested. CHeers!

I don't normally get into political post, but this one caught my eye: Jesse May Run... Why, becuse I believe there's an alternate hidden agenda. We all know that "The Body" is a former Special Forces Soldier. But, have you seen pictures of him lately? I believe that Jesse is planning a trip to Cuba to secretly take over as a Fidel Castro look-a-like. Sen. Kerry has approved the plan for Ventura to take over power of Cuba. He's hoping that nobody notices the regime change, unlike Bush's efforts in Iraq. Fates

This is an incredible inspiration graphically, but will it's Multiplayer aspects ring thru? One of the main reasons I'm not a huge BF:1942 fan was the fact that I never really cared for it's MP. The same rings true for Call of Duty. The SP side is absolutely incredible, but the MP side is much like Bf:1942...a bunny hoppin, no coordination deathmatch. I'm truely looking for a WW2 game that has an incredible story to tell, like COD or Brother in Arms, but I don't want that sense of fellowship to end after the SP game is over. I want to take that emotion and have it pounded into my head in the Multiplayer side. If this game can do that, I think they will gain an enormous amount of respect from non-sim fans as well. Cheer! Fates

Anyone used it? I was playing around more with it tonite, and I think I might be able to do some minor re-editing of existing maps. I'm gonna try this out before creating new maps. <C> Fates

She's L33t and he's pwned! <C> Fates

Don't know if to be sorry for ya or not CHeers! Fates

Not to derail the thread...but What the heck does anyone every see in Hockey? Today Indianapolis lost their semi-pro league "The Ice"...good riddens....I honestly think that Arena Football is more enjoying.. Yeah Snapple...I know...it may be fun to play...but as a spectator..there just aint no point scoring to make the game more interesting. If Hockey got a scoring overhaul that let's say...making games like 14-20 scores...then...I'd be interested. Anyway...Yes...I have the DVD set as well...seen it countless times...the best war series I've ever seen to date. <C> Fates

Thanks a BUnch AD! <C> Fates

I think that's the final straw that makes me go buy FS2004...such great work <C> Fates

There's a lot of people that arn't happy with the interface...but it's usable...the question is...is it customizable? Answer...not for the standard gamer. Although...I'm sure their may eventually be a LUA file re-write that allows for such things. Teut was intrigued a long time ago about the gamers needs for a better HUD...he even offered a prize to the winner...It's the 3rd most popular post at www.secretwars.net and has countless entries. Teut never did own up to either of his promises...yet. Here was my entry. A fully HCS (Hud Customization System). This fell right in line with their other Customization systems...and just seem to fit right in. I would love to see it implemented on day...of course...I'd like to play the game one day too....hehe

THis is excellent news today and for the future of online gaming. A MBL is a great tool that was in thought long before PB. I've noted several squads creating a "league" that would share information about cheaters. Their MBL would be shared amongst league members..much similar to PB's AMBL....except manually updated and sometimes days old. Automation is the only way to go.... <C> Fates

With everything else on my plate at the moment, I've given up on this lame excuse for a demo. Sorry...I'm sure it works for some, but there was no reason to release this to the US market only to get a huge influx of pissed off customers. That simply is not good relations. Good news is: Yuo can try the BetaDemo FAQ here: Planet Soldner

So far I'm not impressed....nothing to impress me really...can't get on any servers at all... Big Time Dissapointment Fates

That's definately good news to hear. I'll be givin it a go tonite my self.... I know several here have been waiting for this sim...I just hope it don't get delayed and delayed again like so many other games. <C> Fates

I don't mean to be abusive...but WTF were these guys thinkin? This Sorry release has truely hurt the Soldner project...maybe fately. Test...test...test....test...and release the version that works... I'm sure this was not intentional, because it makes absolutely NO SENSE to undermind your own game. Seems to me that LOMAC did about the same thing... <C> Fates
