Well, in a few hours anyways (I'm posting now cos I believe I may be to 'merry' later on to post anything). Hope ya all have a fantasic new year and you had a good Christmas. Lift a glass and toast to a good year for us gamers. Happy New Year!

If ya wanna use the units in the VBS1 thingy, simple easy way - join the marines - which is easy if you are American - if ya not, then you'll have to wait to become a citizen. Ahh well, hand me the razor and the M16 and I'll be on my way.

I believe they are out..................................................now...............................no wait..............................................now, definately now.

pffffft. I play on a LAN - net gaming for me (espcially OFP) is very slow.

I reversed my car into a lampost that wasnt there.

I like GR - it sounds like Ghast Retching.

LOL Krechet. Gooseman has odd hair.

I have also yet to enjoy the MP game of OFP - then again, I'm sure it'll be totally unplayable with a 56k modem :/ Cyber - if / when you hack ya works firewall - can ya come and do my Uni's please

I would like it to be.................................bug free? Only joking. Na - no idea what I'd like it to be, but what ever it is, I'm sure it'll be good! Actually - it'd be good if they did one in a WW2 timeframe.

I've played the GR demo, and well, I found it odd. Yeah the gfx are good, but the damage with weapons I dont feel is right. You pop a guy in the head with a sniper rifle and he doesn't go down I find just a bit odd. Oh well, hope they get it sorted for the full game.

Did I say that they owe us a patch / CD? No, I just said that they owe us a working game, its what we pay for. I never said that they ought to fix problems regarding obscure technical problems - I said that they ought to have fixed bugs that effect gameplay. Surely the fact that they've made 6 patches means that there has been a lot of bugs to fix? And if you wanna send me the patches on a CD, thats okay by me.

Well, good for you, you can d/l 1 gig in a short amount of time. There are still a lot of people who, whether its due to financial reasons or practical reasons, cant have a faster connection than the 56k that came with the machine. You're correct, the internet is there to provide updates and downloads - but it isn't there to create a way for game companies to use it as an excuse to produce poorley made games. There is an attitude within the community that if there's a problem then it can all be fixed with a download from the internet, and this is what makes them rely far too much on it. Malboeuf you've taken the attitude of 'I'm allright Jack, sod the rest of you', and you've said how you spent long time downloading stuff from BBS on a 14.4 modem -was that enjoyable, or was it extremely boring? Plus, then updates were prob a lot smaller, requiring only kb updates. I have a 56k modem, and due to the fact that I'm at University and in Halls, I am unable to have broadband installed (the Uni wouldnt take to kindly to me having Ntl round), and I hate big downloads. Spending 3 hours downloading a patch which fixes bugs that should have been fixed before it was released. In the 'good old days' there was such a thing called 'testing', something which they seem to have forgotten about. And dont reply by saying that PCs are all different so they cant fix bugs like they can for consoles - although this maybe true for actual techinical problems like not working with a certain soundcard, this can not however be true for gameplay bugs, which can and should be sorted out in the testing process. Don't get me wrong - I like the game, I love the game, but I just think that a little bit more time should be taken to sort out problems that effect gameplay badly. Maybe CM/BIS dont owe the consumer a CD sent out with the patches on, they do, however, owe the consumer a finished product, that is 'fit for its purpose' (Sales of Goods Act). Is a bug ridden game fit for its purpose? I dont think so. And you want a company that gives good customer support? Sierra do. After I sent them an e-mail saying that I had no sound in a certain game, they replied saying that there was a file missing in the installation - and did they send me to some site to download the missing file? Nope, they sent me a CD with the file on it.

Chat handle - aint that something to grab onto while having se...............no wait...........its the name you use in a chat room, such as Flobberdobbler or the like.

Well, to be fair to CM, I think they did everything they could, and like I've said before it was Lusty who decided to bring the site down himself.
