And then you'd have complaints that America isn't being the regional police.

Questions pertaining to mods should be asked in the relative thread for it. For example, this should be posted in this CBA thread. Troubleshooting is for vanilla issues only. Thread locked.

Pissing on Codemasters ends up generating press coverage for BIS anyways, especially when Codemasters' titles are released, suck, and people then point unsatisfied customers in BIS' direction.

I hate to say it, but I agree with all 3 of those points. You're going to be told by people here to join a clan, but what should be done is server admins should work to fix these issues on public servers. Really the only thing BIS could do without compromising the game is develop a means of an addon downloader similar to the one for missions.

US distribution is currently unannounced. In the meantime, import it. ;)

No, it was this way in OFP and ArmA. If they get said weird messages, then they'll report them, and it'll help things get fixed.

I fully agree. Too many times I've played missions that have been tested by many people only to see a giant error message pop up right at the start of the mission, which was simply missed because no one used -showScriptErrors. -showNoScriptErrors would be much better.

I envisioned my above scenario with the vanilla game patched to the latest beta patch, having a mission that is literally just our group and one AI controlled preset group assigned a random move waypoint.

I've been playing MP since OFP and no, it's not almost 100% unavoidable. I could have 0ms with no desync hosting a game locally, have my neighbour connect and play, and still see warping of AI in a mission that consists of our group and an AI controlled one.

Maybe so, but you haven't played 98% of the missions made by the community let alone decompressed and analyzed them to determine that the MP problems you may or may not be seeing in game are a direct result of their scripting and little else. For that reason, do not make such blanket statements which make you out to seem like you're better than the rest of us, as if it's some type of competition. And for the record, they do not have to care. They are doing this as a hobby and have no obligation to do better. Believe their mission is causing problems? No one's forcing you to play it.

I'm sorry, you work specifically on the programming of the netcode for BIS' games and therefore are 100% informed as to exactly what causes these issues, and that "a lot of it is caused by poor practices in coding?" Or is it because you work on ACRE and ACE, therefore the same applies? Sorry, neither is true. The truth in this case can only be spoken by those who have built the game, and it has yet to be fully explained. It is still only your opinion, not the truth.

Your intention was to call 98% of mission makers incompetent wanna-bes, yet you're only speaking about MP missions. Sorry, but there are a hell of a lot of SP mission makers out there, including myself, yet that still doesn't make it okay for you to intentionally insult people. Make your opinion known if you must, but refrain from insulting those who put their free time and effort into making content for themselves and others to enjoy. They owe nothing to you, and offer no guarantees.

How have you been? I've been REALLY busy being dead. You know, after you MURDERED me. Is it wrong that that was the first thing to pop into my head when reading the thread title? Welcome back. Please search before you post, as you would have easily found both the ACE thread and Benny's Warfare thread. Both have indeed been ported over. In future, please post mod-related questions in the mod's thread. :) Thread locked.

My first run-through of the game took me exactly 7 hours, not 5, and it was the best SP experience I've had in a very long time. I haven't even tried coop yet, though I intend to do so with my brother considering that I can play with him on my PC while he plays on his PS3. :D PlayStation Network just needs to stop sucking...

Oh yeah, because the newest patch for DR fixed the 100% GPU load, yes? Oh wait...

After such a remark I have to ask: did you purchase Call of Duty: Black Ops?

Dude, if your PC is so slow that Portal 2 runs bad enough for you to actually see that message for more than half a second, you have bigger problems. :rolleyes: Side note: it's not even there anymore.

It's absolutely fantastic. Best game purchase I've made all year.

I would try the game if developers thought it was cool to release demos again. :rolleyes: Until such time I will have to form my opinion on the game from credible & reliable sources, friends of mine who've played it, and my own view of the game. So far, all arrows point to P.O.S.

The more exposure, the better. ;)

Indeed: Just because it's not made by BIS doesn't make it right to state that you've pirated the game. Consider this your one and only warning.

Little bit of trivia, but do you figure it's deliberate that in PC Gamer's review of Black Ops' First Strike map pack today they gave it one score point more than they gave Red River? :p http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/04/22/black-ops-first-strike-review/

No no, it's shamefull due to the writer and definite invalid and incorrect assumptions and comparisons. Despite the bad review, RR is a Huge success and many to everyone likes it. In other news: has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
