Give up the whining

Can you imagine how shit life must be if ranting about a video game is important to you?

Yeah - pretty shit. Normal people get upset about their families, or their careers. Some get upset about politics.

Our guys, though - they spend hours getting upset about minor things in a video game.

And now, now they're hearing that no-one cares, or will listen any more. No more fixes.

Cue /more/ bug threads and /more/ sarcastic comments designed to somehow legitimise their ongoing obsession.

Guys/girls: give it up. Being a loudmouth on a virtual forum - one that'll not be here in ten years time - will not improve your life. It'll ruin it. You're destroying it already. There's so much you could do! Why not learn to fly a real ******* plane? Shave your ass? Visit somewhere you've never been before? Learn something about common human decency?

I'm going to hang around for a bit and **** with the usual low-life that live here, because it might amuse me.

Hilarious!
I actually feel tempted to sig parts of your post.

Hilarious, +1.

And I think that going forward, alot of the behaviors that have made this forum just about unbearable are not going to be tolerated:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=35084

From nearmiss:

Whiners and complainers about COD will not be tolerated. Initiatives of moderators will be to quash trash talk.

Moderators will be doing their best to maintain a positive forums for everyone to enjoy.

It would be nice to be able to come here and just read/talk about gameplay, and the future of the series.

Are you really really sure you should laugh at others for not having a life?

Luthier has stated previously that the sequel will have a new graphics engine, the old one being used in C.o.D. was being abandoned with the final release as it wasn't suitable going forward, there were just too many problems which weren't fixable.

I guess it like a surgical team saying the patient that they have had on llfe support for the last 18 months isn't going to survive, the heart is only running on 2 cylinders, they have had the patient on dialysis because of kidney failure and now they have discovered that the patient has liver cancer.
Sorry but we have a new patient going into surgery and we may need the life support unit for that because this is a new proceedure which is untried, so we have no choice. The plug has been pulled.

I think Luthier said its going to be a new GUI not a new engine.

(I think the above situation, is what Luthier meant by "creepy"

CLoD, at release, had an engine which was replaced not that long ago... CLoD, final patch, runs the new engine

BoM, Sequel (not patch) will be (is expected that there should be, at least) further inprovements to that new engine, which was re- written for CLoD

err A change in the GUI (Graphical User Interface... not graphics engine)

GUI, is just pictures/ icons/ buttons instead instead of 2 foot long DOS commands
