jakerod 254 Posted April 4, 2006 Why would you want to keep it a secret between you a few others when we could all enjoy it? Ontopic: The map looks pretty good but I was picturing it as bigger because from my point of view it looks kind of small. Although they could be zoomed out further than I think.

The south part is where we are, and the north part belongs to a old-style communist holdover from the Cold War called the ‘Democratic Republic of Sahrani’ which is actually not far from here on another bunch of islands. I don’t have a map of the whole area, but I’ve posted what I do have here.

crashdome 3 Posted April 4, 2006 What's with the login?? I thought maybe it was a wacky way to sign up for email news or something but it appears to be a bonifide login. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I'm pissed because I can't trust anyone and it's no longer a secret thanks to you loudmouths and you ruined all of the fun... Why would you want to keep it to yourself? What fun?  And loudmouths?...I believe the proper term is NewsSite. News Sites typiclly inform people of what is found. And im sure that BIS made that page be found, they wanted it found. It's just a trick BIS plays with community. Now enough of this, talk about the blog.  Btw- Keeping stuff to your self that is meant to be found by others as well is selfish and mean. Why didn't you want to share with the rest of the community? Good thing people have other sources then you or nobody would know anything. Anyway I think this was a great idea by BIS! Very cool and unique! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thrush213 0 Posted April 4, 2006 there's a little land mass that connects 2 parts of the island...a nice defense scenario would be having a few bunkers there with hedgehogs, mines, and booby traps there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing maybe he's worried that a bunch of dummies will go in there and start posting "OMG WHEN"S IT COMMING OUT!?"" type comments as responses to the posts. If you look, at the moment (almost) all the responses are "in character." Anyway, that's the only good reason I can think of. BTW, someone needs to make sure to save a copy of this blog so we and others can look back on it in years to come as part of the "pre-release hype." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stendac 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Blogvertising? Can anyone else list some games (if any) that used blogs to spread information about their games? I like this Porter guy already. I'm hoping that he's one of the soldiers we play as. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CameronMcDonald 146 Posted April 4, 2006 I can't wait to see the one where he goes "I switched characters into a tank gunner today, fired off a few sabot rounds for fun. Then, I changed into my sniper body and shot all the targets on the firing range. Damn, it's great having multiple bodies." How realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted April 4, 2006 CameronMcDonald please refrain from trolling, there is a thread where you can complain about the feature that you know little about and haven't tried yet, to your heart's content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted April 4, 2006 Sorry mate (I suppose I have spleened everywhere already). I do, however, like the blog feature - quite refreshing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
codarl 1 Posted April 4, 2006 he's worried that a bunch of dummies will go in there and start posting "OMG WHEN"S IT COMMING OUT!?"" type comments as responses to the posts. If you look, at the moment (almost) all the responses are "in character." Anyway, that's the only good reason I can think of. It actually took some effort to think of a comment that fitted in the "in character "comment... Say, maybe we get selected as beta testers now... aaah, the dreams .
