Right out of the box,and without the patch TOW refuses to launch. This is on a new pc,with 4 gigs of Ram,an Invidia 8800 GTX and an Intel dual core processor. I am using Vista (Until I can reformat with XP pro). Could Vista be the problem?

I registered,got my verification code,but I don't have a clue where I am supposed to input the verification code so that the login will accept my user name and password. Any help would be appreciated.

The George was probably one of the finest aircraft the Japanese designed during the war and it was highly respected by Allied pilots. A veteran pilot in a George (A rare commodity at that point in the war) could give Allied pilots fits. It deserves to be in DIF.

Now I see why most movies stink these days...finishing on shedule is more important than making a quality product apparently.

The only time I'm ever disapointed with a game is when I find myself getting overly distracted by bugs. Something that has NEVER happened with a BFC game.

I prefer the PT Barnum quote "There is a sucker born every minute". Doesn't apply to anything BF puts out but it does apply in many other situations. *cough most star trek games *cough*

Glad to see the larger bombers removed from CAS. On the rare occasions that they were actually used as CAS they were just as likely to hit their own troops as they were the enemy. I believe on one occasion B-17s that were used as CAS dropped all their bombs on allied positions. Killed over 200 allied soldiers...don't think they tried it again after that.

It never ceases to amaze me...the same people who complain about how long it's taking to finish and release a game are the same people who'd be the first to jump all over a company if they thought a game was released too soon. As far as I'm concerned,BF can take as long as they want to polish TOW. If it takes another month or so than so be it.

I would prefer their not being an ability to pause to give orders. That is a totally unrealistic feature that I'm sure the sargeants and officers in Iraq would love to have.

They said it was going to be released the end of January,and I for one would prefer that they spend their time working on the game and not posting in here every time someone asks the "when is it coming out" question. They already answered that.

Odd...when I did some beta testing they wanted as wide a selection of pc configurations as possible. Low end pcs,high end pcs and mid range pcs. If they just use high end pcs for testing then that is all the game will work on. Seems to me that would be self-limiting your sales by marketing only to high end machines.

As far as I can see,the only way to keep Iraq as a unified country instead of it breaking up into individual Shia,Kurdish and Sunni nations would be to install another "strongman" as leader. Looks to me like Hussein was the only one who could keep all the factions under some degree of control. Of course he was a genocidal tyrant...but apparently you have to be to keep the Shia and Sunnis from killing each other. There is no doubt in my mind that overthrowing Hussien will come back to haunt us...it already is by getting rid of Iran's greatest regional enemy and allowing Iran to become a major player in the region...to the point where they have some control over some of the Shia groups in Iraq. Yeah we got rid of Hussien...but by doing so we opened up pandora's box.

I suspect that it will be out before Christmas. But I expect it to be close,like a week or two before. They have mentioned that they are testing some of the changes,so they must be fairly close to going gold,relatively speaking that is.

Quit treating this like it is a new generation CM and treat it for what it is: A WW2 RTS. The more you want it to be like CM,the more you are going to be dissapointed. Compare it to CC,compare it to Blitzkreig,just don't try to compare it to CM.

If DIF had been like Achtung Spitfire or Over The Reich I would have bought it,but having played the demo I was definitely not impressed with it...at all.
