<DIV><BR></DIV>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><BR><BR><BR><BR>At 07:54 PM
