[cod] when oh when?!?

[admin at typhoonservers.com]

Well, I for one after play'n a while founf UO to be great fun, the Domination game type is very nice better the HoB for CoD was.

Now if the Merciless team get there hands on UO...Look out.

Yes there is some things a miss, but that is what patches are for.

Lets get the Linux tar ball out so we cna test and tune our own servers.

  Well, having finally installed it, and having to play on Winblows servers,
  the irony is there are a few hundred windows servers, and most are full.
  The 3 Alpha servers when I have checked, are nearly empty, except 1
  so I don't know how much of a workout it is getting.

  On the game....

  Since when can a tank not go over a 1 foot cobblestone wall?
  Since when can a shell, not take out a tree?
  How come the flames don't look as realistic as they did in the trailer
  when I have a X800XT video card that is bearly sweating.


  The PPSH still sprays everywhere, and the weapons models
  appear to be the same.  Sniper rifle targeting boxes appear
  to be the same.  (Shoot a guy in the hand, he is dead).
  Rifles are still no match for the smg's, lopsided.

  Spearhead... an anti-aircraft gun can mow down a tree.
  CODUO, not even a skin rash.

  From what I observed, as someone at ACTVI said, "When
  testing the past year, most were playing with with the vehicles
  in the beginning, but once that wears off, people started
  to mix in infantry and strategy." I think once it wears off,
  the complaints will roll in about the important stuff, like your
  infantry rifle's accuracy still will still be miserable when compared
  to the old antiquated, but better weapons model on Spearhead.

  So... Guess I will be porting my weapons mod to COD if
  my clan insists on playing UO.  I am hoping to talk them
  out of it, and get them to hold off for Brothers in Arms, 
  or Pacific Assault.

  I am soooooo disappointed, but not surprised.  I expect
  the hype to last about as long as a story about Reagan's
  mole removal.  Took front page, follow up moved back
  until a few weeks, then it was old news....

  The clan has been getting bored with COD lately.
  I suspect if we went to UO, it would only put off
  the inevitable.  But they keep going back to
  BF1942.  Don't know what it is about that game
  that makes it so addicting, and the new UO...
  just poor, but it is what it is, and from the forums
  I am reading on CODadmin, and more.... there is
  disillusion.

  I don't have any answers, or even really know what
  is wrong with it.  It is just not...not...?.?   Just not.

    The 4 servers that were testing the alpha release of the linux binary are still up so I have to assume they are STILL testing. Funny how ATVI said they were running stable too. :rolleyes:

      We dont know when it depends how long it takes in testing.
      It could be tomorrow it could be next week it could be
      next month.
      When something happens you can guarantee it will be announced
      here, everything that can be done has been done so until then
      I'm afraid we will all have to sit back and wait.

        I'm loosing patience.. I know it's only been a few days but when is
        that code coming out? It's worse not being able to know where to check
        to see if it's out! Can someone estimate because if it's gonna be over
        a week I'm installing windows ;_;
