Bought CoD 2 today; singleplayer sucks but the multiplayer is still good as far as i can tell. Its a little bit different (it certainly looks better with DX9) in that there is no more health bar; and they have taken out a few features that were in the United Offensive expansion pack. Theres no more sprinting, and no more vehicles. The health bar has gone because in singleplayer they have adopted Halo's approach to recharging armour; which, given the WW2 context, is even more ludicrous than having instant-heal health packs lying around the place. It does have one advantage though, in that you will never be stuck halfway through a level with only a tiny bit left on your health bar. For realism i suggest playing the single player on hardest difficulty; its more one shot one kill though the enemies are uncannily accurate.

 

What galls me the most is the lack of a German campaign. It's stupid that they have the start the game at the end of 1941; considering that the war had been raging with massive Axis victories for a few years already. And the battlefield "chatter" hasn't been resolved; they might as well have left it out. Hearing my Russian comrades shouting "Die Fascist!" over and over is really grating on my nerves. I didn't think the russians would bother saying fascist at that point anyway as their own communism was just as bad. They woudl have been better leaving the Russians speak Russian, and I can't wait to see what the americans have to say. Whats even worse is the AI and the infinite respawn points.

 

Ah well, you can't have everything and I'm still quite happy with the Multiplayer which i will be playing on the Aussie servers for quite a while yet :D

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.
