Seawolf aka- Snacky ;)

I'll give it a shot.

We are finally on the Offensive after years of tucking tail and looking the other way. NO MORE! we make a stand right here, right now for our childrens sake. Make the right choice in November people PLEASE!

While I really had high hopes for this one I have to agree with this guys assesment. There is no way this game is 1 month from release. At the very best it's in Alpha, but no way is it beta or nearing release.

I think back to the demo release of Operation Flashpoint and how it just blew me away. It was the best thing since sliced cheese and not only did it work, but it was beautifull. Soldner (IMO and I have been playing Tac shooters for a lot of years) does not even qualify as a poor attempt at a Half Life mod. I am willing to give any game an honest shake, but my initial feeling about this one is really bad. I am very disappointed and expected better.

They will have to show me a vast (and I mean HUGE) improvement for me to purchase this in May.

I chose the Mig29C (Mig29S) since it performs pretty close to the FA18C. Although I miss the multirole features of the F18.

I think you guys will really like the changes made in the 1.02 patch. Each beta build we get has something new in it, but testing continues in order to get it right. The F15 is now a platform to fear in Lockon. Now that the Radar and Aim120 have been tweaked the F15 can claim air dominance. Thats not to say the Russian jets dont have a chance, because they certainly do, but Lockon feels much more balanced now since the work on the F15.

Nice one Chief. My Dad loved that one. :D

Funny stuff. Kids can be so honest can't they? lol

I really like it to, but beware ATI radeon users you cant use AA or AF because "it isn't supported" for somereason and Radeons were not tested soyou rbest bet so far is to use older 3.XX drivers and turn off AA and AF. Also I haven't been able to play more than 30min without a CTD. Not trying to be a party pooper, but having been a big fan of BF1942 this one has me scratching my head and waiting for a patch.

When the game is working its great and with the music,etc you feel like your in Viet Nam, but ATI users will probably have issues right off the bat.

"waivers" don't release a student athlete from criminal prosecution, they only release the school from civil liability if you get hurt. If you break someones neck during a game or even worse kill them from those injuries that waiver doesn't mean jack except that the school will be covered. You however would certainly be prosecuted for at least manslaughter and then on to civil court for all the lawsuits from the victims family.

Sooner or later some judge will draw a line for athletes as far as criminal law goes and you might see somebody prosecuted for the same thing that happened last week.

Here's the lag cheat.

 

Load up a map with lots of stationary objects and flak (preferably ships), and then everybody flies Me262's.  If you've seen this, you know what I mean.

I have actually seen that so thats why if I am wanting to dogfight I go into a server setup for dogfighting with a certain aircraft list and little by way of ground objects.

Im presently driving a Black 2000 Ford F-150 V6 4.2L short bed with a rebel flag on the windshield, a 30.30 behind the seat, white letter'd radials on chrome wheels, and a dog in back.

 

Can we say YEEHAAAAAWWWW!!! :D

 

That is some straight up Jerry Springer shiznit right there PC Pilot. LOL good on ya bud. :D

LOL@Snapple. we may not always agree but you sure are a firecracker and I respect that. S!

My take on FooFighter is this: I don't mind that he disagrees with me and I welcome anyone who has a different take on a situation, but someone who comes in and demands that thier view be given serious attention while not returning the favor to those who oppose them is disrespectful and rude.

On that note I probably owe Snaps a bit of an apology for being a little quick on the draw in the other thread. I'm not one to throw my experiences around as if its some sort of get out of jail free card nor do I need to use my military background as a step ladder to seem better than anyone else. If I came across that way snapple I apologize, it was not my intention.

Politics are a tricky and ugly thing. You only have to watch the upcomming battle between the Democrats and Republicans to see that, but guys like Chief and I base our beliefs on life experiences from a different time period and different place. Many who have traveled to other parts of the world can attest to this. I just love my country and would lay down my life to protect her in a split second if asked to. This isn't about you or I, but it has everything to do with our children and I for one do not want my Children having to worry about riding a bus to school or flying in a plane because some asshole living in a cave does not like who I am because of my color, religion, or political afiliation. Stay strong people and don't give in to fear. God Bless America

(sorry if thats too political Jeff, but once I start writing sometimes I cant stop.lol)

Zag many of us use hyperlobby and have for years (Since Janes.net went down) and hyperlobby has nothing to do with the lag in the game. Hyperlobby only launches the game and then goes dormant while your game is in session. What you saw is something we see nightly even in the best dedicated servers. People come and go in these servers and not everyone has the best connection so if this guy had a net fart or 15 programs running in the background of windows then what you saw makes sense and has to be lag on his end. You have to be carefull when accusing someone of cheating because its easy to confuse lag with some nifty new "lag cheat"(which doesn't exist since the 1.2 patch) so the best thing to do is wait and see if there is a pattern. Personally if I saw what you saw (and I do every server I go into) I wouldn't accuse the guy of cheating, but I might make a comment in the chat buffer to the effect of "Nice lag bud" and leave it at that. Of course the ones who lag the worst and are told by several people they do will refuse to believe it's on thier end so you just deal with it and move on.lol

One thing I have seen with the IL2 community in my limited time flying IL2 is they don't take to well to cheaters and they will gang tackle a cheater in a heart beat if its proven that the person cheats. For the most part the guys I run into online with IL2 are the most respectfull of any sim community I have been a part of. Each engagement ends with a quick "S!" from both sides and there is very little jaw jackin going on. Thats not to say you won't run into the occasional "You must be cheating because you shot me down with your Uber plane" but for the most part the community has a lot of fun together and it's pretty impressive.

Zag, That wasn't cheating. What you saw was lag. Usually when you see someone zoom away backwards like that then you see a cheating has been detected messege its because the guys connection got so bad he got booted from the game. It's normal.

I think Fates' timing was pretty good myself.lol

and I agree with ya Fates. Having a political forum is probably bad news. Too many Tree Huggers vs Assault rifle owners. lol ;)

I do Fates. Been playing a lot of RS lately.

BTW I didnt think the Athena Sword addon was worth the $30. Only get a few maps and some weps. nothing really "new".

Gonna just wait for the next "full version"

Far Cry looks awsome and Soldner looks to be like Operation Flashpoint in a lot of ways.

at work we call that attempted murder

Cowboy's carry guns... guns scare people.

 

Seawolf I can criticize you when your presenting a misconception and I said "state-approved textbooks".  I fail to see how experience has anything to do with something that happened more than two centuries ago.  What?  You've got a dozen years or so on me... so you got more TV time?  Is that the experience factor?

Exactly what misconception??

TV Time?? lol you have no idea kiddo ;)

lol

Cool, now all I need is a Flight of the Intruder DVD and I'm set.

Blame UK TV for the "Redneck" stereotype.

 

Don't think they really want to control our elections, no need getting in a fit with our only "real" ally.

 

The world can be a very lonely place for a country that stands alone, they dont last long.  Imperialist Japan comes to mind... no Germany and Italy weren't throwing a whole lot their way in case your thinkin it.

 

Another example; North Korea stands alone... enough of that Chinese-Korean lovey lovey lie that has been perpetrated, China despises Korea, the only reason why they kicked our ass was because we nearly invaded them.  North Korea will fetch when told to by China, if they get out of hand, you can bet that the first troops to get involved wont be sporting American flags on their shoulders.

 

Secondly, North Korea doesnt scare me, all they want is more aid, its just that their going about it the wrong way.  And you can bet that if this little thing goes hot, then your gonna see our west coast go up in flames.

 

But then again, some may think, hell with them, we can just nuke'em first.... hence the "Cowboy" image that the whole world thinks us to be.

 

No need to push the North Koreans, they're scared of everyone.  They're the only country to ever lose to a western army, and even their commie cohorts done like them all that much.  They've got a rich neighbor to the south, and a very progressive neighbor to the north.  The people of North Korea are becoming increasingly fed up with the regime, and its not too far of a stretch to see some sort of coup within the decade.  We wont end this feud with guns and bombs, we will end it by spending money to buy people... the American way, and the smart way.

 

Remember, where diplomacy ends, war begins.  Too bad Bush wont let the diplomats do their job. I.E. Our exceptional Secretary of State, that happens to be handcuffed by the administration, and has lost his credibility because of that administration.

 

And Seawolf, I hate to criticize you, but do try to pick up a bit more on our Revolution, you'll find that the Brits weren't as bad as we are led to believe in our state approved text books.  Infact the overwhelming majority of the citizens of Britain were in our favor, as was the house of commons (all but one of the taxes was repealed immediatly, and the tea tax was removed shortly after), until we alligned with the French and Spanish.  Which led to a reversal in popular opinion.  We probably would have gained independence without war.  This again bringing up the point of diplomacy... lack of patience cost American lives then, as it does now.

So exactly where am I to get my history from if not from text books snapple? the BBC?

As far as criticizing me goes you can't. You lack the experience. ;)

100% Chief

I haven't seen any real evidence that the economy is that bad off, but I'm not ignorant to the fact that it could use a little more work of course. There are a lot of good things going on in Iraq if you can look past these terror attacks and the war on the Taliban for all purposes has been a success. People in Afghanistan and Iraq are getting a taste of freedom they never had in the past and it's scaring the hell out of countries like North Korea, Iran, Syria,etc because they dont want thier people to taste that freedom. It could spell disaster for thier control over thier people and they know it.

Of course Raptor but that's what makes it funny.lol

I say B&W also

There was an article that surfaced out of the UK suggesting that the folks in the UK want to have a say in our elections here in the US. The feeling is we dont know what the hell we are doing putting someone like Bush in Office and that the majority of voters are dumb rednecks from Virginia and Alabama placing thier vote at Walmart.

The UK tried to control things over here once before and it didnt quite work, a little something called the American Revolution took care of that.

We Americans are too stupid to elect a President so the eauropean nations want to do it for us.

North Korea is afraid of Bush because they know Bush wont jerk around and give in to asshat countries like North Korea. Bush may not be the smartest guy on the block and he may not have all the answers, but he has a lot of smart people around him and he backs up what he says with action. Ever since 9-11 the rules changed and we cant afford to sit back and wait for something else to happen. Yes I am concerned about the economy, but more importantly I am concerned with the security of this nation and if that means I pay a few extra cents for gas to keep from ever having another 9-11 again then so be it.
