Well, having finally installed it, and having to play on Winblows
servers,<br>
the irony is there are a few hundred windows servers, and most are
full.<br>
The 3 Alpha servers when I have checked, are nearly empty, except 1<br>
so I don't know how much of a workout it is getting.<br><br>
On the game....<br><br>
Since when can a tank not go over a 1 foot cobblestone wall?<br>
Since when can a shell, not take out a tree?<br>
How come the flames don't look as realistic as they did in the
trailer<br>
when I have a X800XT video card that is bearly sweating.<br><br>
<br>
The PPSH still sprays everywhere, and the weapons models<br>
appear to be the same. Sniper rifle targeting boxes appear<br>
to be the same. (Shoot a guy in the hand, he is dead).<br>
Rifles are still no match for the smg's, lopsided.<br><br>
Spearhead... an anti-aircraft gun can mow down a tree.<br>
CODUO, not even a skin rash.<br><br>
From what I observed, as someone at ACTVI said, "When<br>
testing the past year, most were playing with with the vehicles<br>
in the beginning, but once that wears off, people started<br>
to mix in infantry and strategy." I think once it wears off,<br>
the complaints will roll in about the important stuff, like your<br>
infantry rifle's accuracy still will still be miserable when
compared<br>
to the old antiquated, but better weapons model on Spearhead.<br><br>
So... Guess I will be porting my weapons mod to COD if<br>
my clan insists on playing UO. I am hoping to talk them<br>
out of it, and get them to hold off for Brothers in Arms, <br>
or Pacific Assault.<br><br>
I am soooooo disappointed, but not surprised. I expect<br>
the hype to last about as long as a story about Reagan's<br>
mole removal. Took front page, follow up moved back<br>
until a few weeks, then it was old news....<br><br>
The clan has been getting bored with COD lately.<br>
I suspect if we went to UO, it would only put off<br>
the inevitable. But they keep going back to<br>
BF1942. Don't know what it is about that game<br>
that makes it so addicting, and the new UO...<br>
just poor, but it is what it is, and from the forums<br>
I am reading on CODadmin, and more.... there is<br>
disillusion.<br><br>
I don't have any answers, or even really know what<br>
is wrong with it. It is just not...not...?.? Just
not.<br><br>

When something happens you can guarantee it will be announced<br>
here, everything that can be done has been done so until then<br>
I'm afraid we will all have to sit back and wait.<br><br>
