  1. Kinda funny about the M8, wasn't it cancelled in 2006 (or whenever) and its still finding its way onto platforms for 13 year old boys to jizz over.

    was cancelled because the US army didnt want to have a german rifle as their main army rifle, even though its way better then the crap the americans produce (escpecially COLT).


  2. SECUROM is the worst crap ever, TAGES and online actication is the best imo! Securom killed 2 drives in the past and the disc could not be read on my newly bought dvd drive, its a joke.

    Securom is crap, Starforce is even worse. That is why I bought the Steam version. This way I can install on any computer that I want to while the Steam security ensures you won't have several people at different locations playing on the same copy. The real problem with DRMs is that they don't prevent piracy and they only end up becoming a hassle for the legal end user. Especially since most gamers enjoy having the box and hard copy but do not want the hassle of using the CD/DVD all the time. Fortunately services like Steam help to eliminate the need to carry the disc with you when you go to LAN parties and tournaments.

    Steam is not an option, because you have massive problems with mods then right?


  3. I´m pretty sure they have a schedule, don´t you think? I know they don´t like giving out infos too early, but showing up on these boards, saying seomthing like "hey guys, we are working on the 1.03 patch and we just finished fixing this and that" will calm down people and give them trust. If they use agile Projectmanagement, then they have daily meetings and daily tasks to finish. They could at least tell us how far they are.


  4. Since my other thread got closed for some unknown reason (at least we were discusing instead of flaming or ranting) i want to ask the developers how far are they with the performance patch? I´m sure you´ll be able to give us an estimate like 40%, 50% done etc. And please refuse to use phrases like "it´s done when it´s done" or "soon". I´m sure you guys doing proper project management or know anything about Software Engineering. Statements like "soon" show the imcompetence of a gaming studio. And BIS isn´t imcompetent right?

    Will there be a beta version of the patch? I and i´m sure the community wouldn´t mind beta testing, at least, that´s what we did and do anyway. BIS could also use the, in my opinion, fabulous bugtrackers from dev-heaven.net to beta test future patches, if there´s not enough manpower in your own company.


  5. why should they read this forum? dont think that many devs read forums regularly, forums are a "valve to release" pressure and to minimize support in the hopes that people will help each other, the forum mods are the sheriffs who make sure that theres no "bad marketing" on the forums, i.e. deleteing, locking posts that are bad for the companies reputation (sure they ll lock this post soon).
