SayethWhaaaa

Ace of Duty... perfect description of the most recent titles, especially the ones set in the real world (rather than Strangereal)!

Somebody give this man a cigar! YES!! I can't play this series any more because of the godawful voice acting distracts me to much from the rest of the game. If they could make this version not suck, I'd look into it, but that's like trying to separate the douche from the Call of Duty series. IMPOSSIBLE!! On a side note, did anyone notice how bad the terrains were in Assault Horizon? The environments in Ace Combat 4 were vastly superior to what was on display in AH. Seems like all the attention was focused on the aircraft skins, the terrible, nay, woeful acting and CODifying it as much as humanly possible to appeal to the tween set. How magazines and gaming sites like IGN gave this a 9/10 speaks volumes! I call payola! ...but I'm with Roger, I'll take them all for PC up to and including the Belkan War, but none of the crap that was released after that.

Spinners, on behalf of just about every single one of our 20000+ members, we need to have a talk about this situation of how you tease us with these beautiful skins and then don't release them...

Easy, Growler. Sweet video!

I noticed that too, which is why I did the same, otherwise you just see aircraft getting into great positions for guns, but nothing happens... :S

I was able to mod the APKWS guided rocket pods to fire rocket sized IRMs at an airborne target. The problem I face was that the rocket's small warhead did bugger all damage to the target. I could fire off a salvo of 5-10 and would barely see any damage register, if at all. It should have shredded it. I abandoned it shortly after. You want me to post the weapons entry coding? You might be able to do something with it.

Was enjoying this when I played it. Then one of the patches screwed up during the region swap events and I miss the window during the re-install. Now it won't accept my login despite the password reset working perfectly... Bah, gave me the galloping sh*ts! Why can't I just change my region at will? I mean, what happens if someone moves overseas? Dumb move. Really enjoyed the game when I played it though. It was getting a bit too "pay to win" for a while there and I'm glad to see they curbed the strength of the Arty, but all in all, it's a pretty fun romp. I'm reluctant to start from scratch again, but... I dunno. Kinda interested to see the Pommy tanks! Miss my Soviet light tanks.

Has anyone been able to successfully apply the CFTs to the XL?

Much appreciated guys! I've seen them floating around, but I've never pinned down where they came from or which series they work with. I don't mind if it's gen 1 since I'm currently rebuilding my Wings Over Timor mod. Gonna have a play with the CFTs now. Thanks again!

Sweet, cheers Brain. I might give it a look in... though I'd rather be playing Day Z...

You forgot Rise of the Triads too! What are the min specs for this? Are they like most CoDs in that, it's just a revamp of the previous one? Or is it more of a generational change like that of BF2 and BF3? I can run BO and MW3 on here without any major issues, but my system is ancient and is held together by spit and balding wire. Whataya think my chances with BO2 would be? Is it a new engine? The problematic 2 gig RAM is an issue, though working around it isn't difficult...

Stop it Brain! I'm getting teary and nostalgic... especially for Vietcong! One of the best shooters I've ever played!

Yeah, I've been rocking that since my system's RAM and video card started doing really odd things (like slurring video performance like it was playing in super slow-mo). Because my system is so old, I found it disabled a bunch of processes that were interfering with certain games and adversely affecting RAM performance. I think I was getting something like a 41% improvement in overall performance in games that with resource heavy usage. Even though ARMA II runs pretty poorly on my system, it runs noticeably smoother when boosted. I find some games don't benefit much from it, yet others (particularly shooters) gained a noticeable improvement. The Thirdwire flight sims scored a slight frame rate improvement for me, but Black Ops didn't, but that could be due to a number of factors (like the first Black Ops being pretty buggy). I think you'll gain more of a noticeable performance increase if you are running an older or lower end system, but it's definitely worth look in. I think Game Booster 3.5 is the current release. Sorry Mac users, no support for you. Man up and buy a PC if you want real gaming.

Personally, I think a MASSIVE airdrop of dope cookies is in order... maybe throw in a bunch of copies of Purple Haze too, for good measure. You watch the fighting stop as everyone chills right out and gets the giggles...

Ahhh... you remember the days of Quake 2, too. That was a grand old time... (sigh)

Wasn't this variant going to be armed with a 30mm Bushmaster cannon in some kind of pod or turret at some point?

It was being reported as drone strikes, here, but now they're just saying airstrikes due to the follow hits...

Are you two punks messing with my head? Ich bin ausländer und spreche nicht gut deutsch... lol

Sind nicht sie schloßen mit dem Modell ein?

Awwwww... crap. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-11-12/fire-crew-sprayed-with-sewage-during-water-bombing/4366390

...an interesting development. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-11-10/iraq-cancels-244-b-russian-arms-deal/4365100

I was thinking that too, Nesh... :S

Do they have any archery in it? I only just got into Skyrim and I'm just loving the archery!
