Retro you do bring up great points, the part below is just all in good fun and jest.
I agree that the negativity is unwarranted despite the deadly mistake of doing a beta release And its good you are standing with Luthier / Oleg n crew. now for the gumball 2000 Quote:

This war will never be forgotten, nor will the heroes who fight in it. Quote:
Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours! Quote:
I wouldn't be bothering with the shield then, would I? The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man i've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him. Thats why no-one will remember your name. Quote:

Quote:
You have your swords. I have my tricks. We play with the toys the gods give us. Quote:
Briseis: Do you enjoy provoking me? Quote:
I've fought many wars in my time. Some I've fought for land, some for power, some for glory. I suppose fighting for love makes more sense than all the rest. 50,000 Greeks did not cross the sea to watch your brother fight. You know this. You want me to look upon your army and tremble? Well I see them. I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed. Quote:
I want her back so I can kill her with my own two hands, and I won't rest till I've burned Troy to the ground. Father, you are a great king, because you love your country so much. Every blade of grass, every grain of sand, every rock in the river... You love all of Troy. That is the way I love Helen. Go home, prince. Drink some wine, make love to your wife. Tomorrow, we'll have our war. You speak of war as if it's a game. But how many wives wait at Troy's gates for husbands they'll never see again? Perhaps your brother can comfort them. I hear he's good at charming other men's wives. Quote:
I loved my boy from the moment he opened his eyes until the moment you closed them. Quote:
Of all the warlords loved by the gods, I hate him the most. Quote:
If you stay in Larissa, you will find peace. You will find a wonderful woman, and you will have sons and daughters, who will have children. And they'll all love you and remember your name. But when your children are dead, and their children after them, your name will be forgotten... If you go to Troy, glory will be yours. They will write stories about your victories in thousands of years! And the world will remember your name. But if you go to Troy, you will never come back... for your glory walks hand-in-hand with your doom. And I shall never see you again. Quote:
You say you're willing to die for love but you know nothing about dying and you know nothing about love! You're still my enemy in the morning. You're still my enemy tonight. But even enemies can show respect. Quote:
Peace is for the women, and the weak. Empires are forged by war. You gave me peace in a lifetime of war.

hiro,
You do realize... we're both going to be thrown to the lions?  The pen ( keypad) maybe sharper than the sword, but I don't think it will scratch the tough guys in here! They're bullet-proof  Its good to know others see cod for what it is... As in, what it is... It's fun, even if it's imperfect... Take it easy...

War memorials are made of stone and bronze, not binary code. Now maybe I come off as cynical, maybe its because I am a veteran, but this stuff about making what is in essence a big boy game and trying to pretty it up as a memorial to the men that fought the battles so as to make others avoid critical review of it is disingenuous at best. I for one know that if there was a "Battle for fallujah 2004" simulator made, and it turned into a game of debatable quality, I would be incensed if people tried to invoke my efforts in the battles portrayed to defend a shoddy product. Remember that you do more of a disservice to veterans when you invoke their efforts at every point of contention. Remember what they did, and how they did it, but don't ever use their Herculean sacrifice as an excuse for anything!

Don't get me wrong, obviously a piece of software can't be held up as a memorial to those who have served and been lost in war. But I don't have to visit war memorials, or gravesides, to mourn their ultimate sacrifice. I do it by being respectful and grateful for what I have in my daily life, because of their sacrifice. To simulate what those young guys did is as close as I'll ever get to experiencing what was unending terror to them. Of course, I'm not scared out of my mind when I fly COD, but it's still a way to appreciate their memory, just as much as reading a book, or watching a documentary... I don't throw down a history book and curse, because it doesn't end the way I want! I want to know how it was... from the perspective of the poor bastards who were forced to endure years of hell... So, I apologize if my thread gave the wrong impression, it's not 'just' software if it helps to keep their memory alive... But I would never 'sell' it as tribute, just to make as much money as possible... And I hope the final product does not end up in the shoddy bin! Anyway, if it's ok, I'd like to thank you for your service to your country. All the best...

According to some, it's playable, for others it's unplayable... You have to turn off trees for the sound to work... It has an amazing DM, but some are not happy with it... It has an amazing FM, but some are not happy with it... Some are having a blast online, some are not happy with it... What's to say? It's been said over and over and over............ ... And for the record, I'm enjoying it, even with the issues... But, please don't start with me about being a fanboi, whiner, idiot, trouble-maker, argumentative, offensive, Whatever! I'm waiting for the patch, and while I wait, I'm learning how to fly it to the best of my abilities, with a system that is not top of line, but is all I can afford... I'm done... Sorry if you wasted your time reading my drivel...
