>> Ok, first of all, the dowloader for the updates - exclusively for Windows XP? Did Microsoft and EA Games have a behinds the door meeting because the crappy, buggy, full'o'holes OS XP sales are down? Another theory thought up from my next door nieghbor is that they hired a mentally challenged individual (a retard who doesn't speak liberal) and asked for his input at critical stages of the game remake - er - developement. Then once he was done giving him his heartfelt advice, they fired him like a steak on a grill.
>> All I know I recieved a game for my birthday I cannot play on Windows 2000 (My current OS). Thanks EA Games for excluding the few (I'm guessing here) who still run the reliable and non-intrusive (as far as I know) operating system Windows 2000. As for that NSA key, the CryptoAPI and the mysterious 3rd key in the encryption coding, I think it belongs to Mulder from the X-Files (See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/security/news/backdoor.mspx?mfr=true
for more details - Belive Bill Gate and all microsoft says and your life is assured in the new Billenium (They paid me $50 to say that).
>> If you guys want a true First Person Shooter that requires cunning, teamwork, strategy as well a steep learning curve, try out Tribes 2! The game is NOT new and GarageGames did a wonderful job of making it a winner! I figure you might not be able to find a copy, but if graphics is what makes your privates swell, this might not be for you. BUT, if you are the few who actually like a good game based on strategy, this is it! I call it the Chess of the First Person Shooters. If someone can completely copy Tribes 2 onto the Unreal 2004 engine, I will pay them $1,000,000 of Bill Gate's money I made from kidnapping his Dog "linuxsucks"! By the way, I am HarmlessHamster on the servers that have not banned me already due to me killing the admin too much but I have 12 accounts (a while back you could download as many serials as you needed) This I did to protect me from the ban nazis that unfortunatly monopolize this truely wonferful game.
>> The Second game I would recommend is the Unreal Series. Well put together and a strong robust, no-nonsense engine. The future weapons are in that too and plenty of MODS in that game to keep you going!
Thirdy, Dawn of War Series, Farcry (Excellent AI), and the Medal of Honor series deserve awards for gameplay, not 2142 Butt-la-field.
EA Games recycles their games like a dog recycles vomit.
