I feel it's a mixture of oil, money, and Russia trying to cut down dissident feelings among former republics. Russia's economy has always been built for war not peace. This is why after the Cold War the system feel apart. No more arms race to compete with. Business needs this war. Russia is also trying to send a message to the former republics. Russia was once the most feared country on earth and now they are pretty much a third world country. Moscow is struggling to hang on to it's past glory as any nation would. It is always politicians who play chess with our lives regardless of what system we live under. When the US said it would help out in the Republic of Georgia, Russia wasn't too happy cause the US is starting to get influence in an area that was totally under Russian control. You can try to pull away from Moscow all you want but be warned. You will be challenged.

Satchel I'm not sure if they will have to gain back any money they spent on this project. The defense department now has virtually unlimited funding. Military advertising is everywhere now. I've even seen some sports teams sponsored by the Army now. Glad to see my tax dollars going to such a good cause More than likely though they'll just squeeze a bit more money out of us tax payers when they need it. It wouldn't surprise me if it did contain spyware though. Most likely for tracking young kids with high scores.

Well you know how that old joke goes. You know why France has tree lined streets? So the Germans can march in the shade

If the Soviet forces are defeated in Resistance why would they try to invade the other islands later on?<span id='postcolor'> Maybe they were already on the other islands before 1982.<span id='postcolor'> If they were already there why would they have to invade again? If they were overthrown why would they attack again with NATO right next door? Oh well. It's not like games or even action movies have the best full proof plots I wouldn't be even thinking about this if I had the game now. Can't wait for it to get here

Which begs the question. If the Soviet forces are defeated in Resistance why would they try to invade the other islands later on? Not sure if they get beat in Resistance cause I don't have it yet but would like to hear if they do get beat or not

I agree with with Ralph. Now you know how us Americans feel. The cold war is over. Give up the fight. Russia even joined NATO. If people hate you they hate you. Not much you can do to fix that. In time hopefully they won't hate you but there is nothing you can do to fix that now.

I agree, It's just a game. The reason Russia is the bad guys in so many games isn't because of political statements. Not everything means something. Lets look at it this way. What do we look for in a game? Variety in equipment and units. Russia has a large amount of both. Lots of different tanks, planes, units, weapons ... etc. So as a game maker you have to say. We are looking for a possible enemy. One that could actually (this being the key word) pose a threat and that will put up a good fight. One that has many highly trained units, a vast arsenal of weapons, good technology and equipment. It helps if this enemy is somewhat mysterious to our main audience. Who better fits that than Russia? I plain to play Resistance two ways. The first time I will play with the Resistance. The second time around I will betray the Resistance and join Russia. Call me evil but it's just a game

I just an email from codemasters today that says June 28th. But the link to order it for the US says July 2nd. So I'll just take the latest date of July 10th. If it gets here before that great. If not no big deal. It'll just give everyone else time to write walkthrough's for me

Last I heard they were having problems with the server of the site. I saw this message a little bit ago cause I wanted to get one of their conversion's I forgot to dowload. Hopefully they will be back soon

Â I mean...15 years ago, it would have been high treason to send a bunch of guys in Praque all the information they probably have now How the world changes. All I hope is that BIS has a long and prosperous career developing cutting edge sims for us warheads.<span id='postcolor'> Hehe I agree with that. I think the Czech Republic is quite an interesting place. I first started to get interested in it cause Frank Zappa (my favorite musician) was going to join the government as a cultural adviser. But I don't think Resistance will be the end. I would think (well hoping) that there will be many OFP like based games from BIS. It works well for Red Storm. Just look at Rainbow Six. They are still making games based on that.

If 400 bucks a copy is all they are paying BIS needs someone who knows how to bargain cause that's cheap. Should've told them the Chinese were interested. That would've at least doubled the price
