It`s very foggy and the landscape has many steep hills and deep valleys so you can´t look that far. The built in server list was an 700 Mhz PC (Mhz`s are displayed in the list) and there were approximately 25-30 players playing. I got an 1,4 GHZ, 512 MB ram PC with an 64 MB graphics card and ADSL connection and it was an fluid gameplay. If there would be such an landscape in OFP and such an bad weather I bet that OFP would be also much more fluid in gameplay. Or move the Tribes2 vehicles and many players to an OFP landscape and it will lag too. (Edited by animalica at 5:04 am on Dec. 28, 2001) <span id='postcolor'> That's just the demo. There are many MANY huge maps. The map never ends, in essense you can run forever. Though the playable area in most maps is about 5-10 clicks. Vehical based maps 40. [edit] Tribes 2 is CTF (usually), and besides air/armor battles you usually don't see more than 20-30 people defending an objective, if that. (Edited by KillorLive at 6:09 pm on Dec. 28, 2001)

The russian IRL have never used the A-10 nor will they. The only one to field them is the US Airforce. Nowadays allot of them seem to be getting put in the boneyard at davis- montisham or someplace like that in the desert. <span id='postcolor'> They're phasing them out. Sadly it's the ignorant pen pushers. That's the best d*amn aircraft (for it's quotta). NOTHING performs better at killin' tanks than the A-10, except maybe the Commanche that's comming in '06.... Most A-10's are being run until they screw up, then they're stripped and buried with whatever metal is left. Kind of like all tracked APC's.

Huh. Weird, it seems that AI also runs infront of your weapon when you have a weapon firing, and it turns out YOUR fault. Must be a bug. Also, shooting in the mud after a while seems to KILL you. Wonder what ass they pulled that out of... Yes I know they're not bugs, I'm pointing out the irony, idiot.

You sound inteligent. Y not contribute a little more here? <span id='postcolor'> I will no longer participate because YOU refuse to accept any other opinion as valid. Â You've labelled my arguments illegal, harmful, etc, so there is no room for discussion with you on this topic, am I not right? A debate is a consideration of other points of view and to challenge those points of view with questions/facts/etc. Â But for you, there is no middle ground. Â Hitting your kids is illegal, harmful, etc. Â Any variation from that is not valid in your view. My position is simple: It's OK to spank your kids as long as: 1. Â You are in control. 2. Â YOu are not upset when you do it. 3. Â They are under your care. Now in your latest post, you threw in "sexual abuse." Â Geez. The only thing I called you was a liberal and you got a bit defensive. Â Do you consider yourself a conservative? You've also alleged that I don't allow for other points of view, but you've proven that that is actually YOUR problem. I would wish you a Merry Christmas, but that would probably offend your "open-minded" liberal zealotry. Good lord. <span id='postcolor'> Thank you. I cannot stand this guy anymore. "It" is a bullheaded liberal, and ignorant to boot. "It" think's that you need age to be intelligent, and that kids being spanked are automatically sexually, AND physically, AND emotionally abused. "It" is on ignore for me, and I suggest that alot of you put "it" on ignore since "it" will just ignore you and ramble on about the abuse and that "it" is right. I don't mind an argument, and I don't even mind losing, but with someone whom WANTS to argue his point YET remains stead fast no matter what, even after several virtual disclaimers have been shown to him AND explained. I don't argue with that, period. (Edited by KillorLive at 3:34 pm on Dec. 27, 2001)

Contradiction? Bulls**t. Having a rifle has nothing to do with being civilized. "I know you think you're protecting your child when you hit them, but it is becoming proven more and more that this kind of discipline is not effective, nor does it raise a healthy child. " Hitting? I thought we explained that. Bad moron! BAD! About me being immature, I'm 15, lemme alone, or something. About politics, I don't care about politics or alot of recent events because quite frankly I could give a s**t. Politics nowadays are all about who got the latest scandal where. Â About your opinion of kids, they need that extreme every once in a while, teaching them warm water is bad isn't going to work, telling them no just makes them MORE curious. If they don't learn to trust your word they're going to get worse, but like I said, go ahead and have prom queens. "I urge you to put a bit more effort into your study methods, and you will find that any form of abuse is illegal, and abuse can, for the extreme part, be put down to a simple brush of the hand. That can be interpreted as sexual abuse. You do know this, no?" No, I don't. You're a moron. It takes atleast 3 occasions of emotional abuse and one account of physical abuse (that is credible) for a sexual abuse warrant for arrest can be sent out. Learn US law before you try to act "grown up", no? A brush of the hand is a brush of a hand, only cruel people would call that physical abuse, but, since we're talking about you, I guess that already qualifies you. I call a spade a spade, you, of course, are just a shell of a man, and shall remain so with your opinions. I leave you to whatever you do at work, but it is sad that you will raise kids in such a manner. Ahh well, c'est la vie. People are people, and ignorant as they may be, there are always those that surprise me. This is one of those cases.... (Edited by KillorLive at 9:06 am on Dec. 21, 2001)

It is when you become an adult, thinking you know all and that kids are just stupid you have a reason to worry. <span id='postcolor'> He needs the extra support. Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny just jumped his ass last week, and he still hasn't stopped crying. 15 years old + the only thing "wrong" with "us" compared to "adults" growing wise is that we're emotionally unstable, you may have a 6 year long girlfriend, then you find out you don't like her (it's all very normal), and the idiotic ones are out of touch with reality (I'm going to be a president one day! WOOHOO!) Other than that we're perfectly functioning humans. But, of course, our brain doesn't have all that much experience and more oft than not we show ignorance/immaturity, probably both, all the time. Basically, we're not fully emotionally built, nor physically (in some cases, I'm 6-2 230lbs, but still expected to grow another 3-8 inches).

I haven't stated your name for a long time. Even so, just make me. And have something worth sayin if you're gonna continue with the argument. And I don't remember you tellin me to leave you alone anywayz. M not really takin notice of who I'm postin to, just replying to all the ignoramouses out there. (btw. I know that ignouramous is probably spelt incorrectly. I don't care.) Obijuan. Yes. Respect for other ppls property. Like their own person. Maybe I got a bit carried away, but often simply spanking when it's common practice turns into much more than spanking. ie. the bigger the bad, the bigger the punishment. The bigger the kid, the bigger the bad. Yes. Teaching them the consequences of what they do wrong. The consequences for scratching a cd aren't meant to be that you'll get a branded ass. The cd doesn't work and a new one has to paid for with money. And yes. Choice. But not when it conflicts with rights, and/or has such a negative effect. ie. Teaching ppl it's ok to hit. Btw. Hitting is hitting. You DON'T have the right to hit anyone in any way. That IS abuse. Physical punishment IS abuse and IS illegal. Ask a lawyer. KillorLive. Ask your parents. And also, I said only the adults now. So that was definitely not directed at you KillorLive. Legal adult = 18+. In my opinion, for most, adult = 20/21+. <span id='postcolor'> Amos give up while you can. This is for Troubleshooting moron. Let's get back on track or CLOSE THIS GODd*amn TOPIC. You, amos, are losing, saying that you can't spank one because it's so drastically hurting them physically and emotionally, scarring them for life and lawyers (*shudder*) get involved. I suggest you shutup before you say something REALLY stupid. Spanking someone does NOT kill them, it DOES hurt them, it is NOT illegal, lawyers ARE evil, you ARE a liberal, you NEED help, your opinions ARE s**tty. It's to teach them a lesson, if you want your boys to be prom queens that's your affair, but I'd rather give them a spanking if they do something wrong, at 2-3 they're not sentient enough to think straight, all they remember is subconcious and physical. Only at 4-5 do kids really start remembering certain conversations, events, etc. etc. All kids deserve to be spanked, even if only once, to teach them who's boss, and if they f**k up they're getting punished, taking Pokemon away for a week doesn't teach them anything, except to despise you.

She trys really hard to do this and to put my cd in its jewl case. But she is only three.. For all those who punish there kids for trying to learn then shame on you if my cd gets ruined cause my little girls beats me to cpu then its my fault i shoulda taken cd out and put it into its case.. My cpu is for my family to use...not just for dady to boss hog cpu try teaching the kids how to use cpu and cd's it will only increase the learning curb guys <span id='postcolor'> Now, to make me sound smart, or something, a CPU doesn't have a cd. You can not beat someone to the CPU. It's a part, a computer, however, usually has a CD-ROM drive, and that's where the CD for Operation Flashpoint, or Barbie, goes.

Ah, okay. Sounds good.

Like I said, between that and the "babelfish" German (what is babelfish?) that was grammatical.
