Why Saddam and not North Korea. Hussien/Iraq really dont have the means to build WMD.N Korea is testing missles and running a nuke program right now. So if the US is really going to take down dangerous dictatorships, it should do this to all the axis of evil countrys and truely make a safe world if thats whats being called for. I personally think the US has stepped over the line by trying to force its will on other countrys and this will be a irreversable error that will turn the US into the dictator of the world.

There certainly needs to be balance with weapons… I think too many is better than not enough, but weapons with distinctive features with advantages and disadvantages can make the game much more interesting for a wider range of players… ie a new player vs and experienced player can be balanced if the new player has the right weapon in the right environment and the experienced player does not… of course part of being an experienced player is knowing what weapon to use and when.

Garry- I disagree, I dont think too many is better than not enough. Games like Medal of Honor, Max Payne and RTCWolfenstein requires the soldier to switch between tommy guns, BARs, sniper rifles, its just rediculas. Thats one reason I love Ghost Recon is that the battle field is very much open to any style of atttack you prefer. If your a sniper nut like myself, you can equip your teams with alot if them and take on the fight from that perspective. If you like sluging it out with SMGs or like the grenade launcher on field rifles, you can play from that perspective and the game will be totally different, yet still equal from a tactical perspective and not at all disadvantaged for having wrong weapons, its just more personalized to your personal preferances of combat. I would like to see a greater variety of rifles offered though as in Black Thorn as I dont like being stuck with only M-16 rifles.

SOC- Isnt Halo a Xbox game?

error- see next post

I recall russia made a multi-billion dollar deal with iraq a while back to rebuild and modernize that country. Now the US is taking bids to rebuild iraq after they destroy that country in war. So whos really paying off who here?

Garry- I think alot of FPSs go overboard with picking up weapons, I think every soldier should have one rifle and one alternative weapon. I do agree though that the weapon choices for Ghost Recon have gotten really bad compared to the awsome collection you had to choose from in the earlier rouge spear game Black Thorn. You also have alot less control over team movements although I think they really over did it with all the waypoints in the original rouge spear. But thats what makes Ghost Recon and OpFP such great games is you have total freedom on the entire combat area as to how you can go about your attack. In games like Medal of Honor and RTCWolfenstein you have a set route and objectives that you have to carry out in order. Once youve completed these games, thats it, theres no more to it. Ill be replaying Ghost Recon and OpFP for along time to come trying out new tactics and stratagys and it will never be the same each time. And if your into steering wheel feedback, you should really give Xbox a serious look, its definately equal or better to PC games in that genre.

I have an idea for a flight sim view. They should put a stationary camera about a 1000 yards back of the aircrafts line of flight so you can see the planes flight handling qualitys from a distance. I would call this the “airshow view”. I have seen in some sims where they show the plane making passes past a stationary camera, but that doesnt really show you how the plane is flying.

Id like to mention that Ive stopped playing Unreal II as that is just mindless shooting. I cant stand Diablo II either, how long can you go on hacking zombies? I do like Quake 3 though as that does sharpen my shooting reflexes and mouse handling skill. Ive also tried CFS3, and I was surprised to see the artistic quality is worse than on CFS2. The sound for the aircraft was recorded at airports so the prop noise of your aircraft sounds like a cessna 152 idleing. Id like to see an upgrade made of Crimson Skys as the highest resolution in that is 800×600. I also was really ticked off at Age of Sail II as they make the ships heave back and forth even though you only have calm seas. The “storms” are simply a clouded over sky with streaks on the screen that are supposed to be rain. Being a tall ship lover, it really pisses me that game develpers get away with stupid stuff like that.

“Sticking my Green hat on surely the money would be better spent providing Russia with sustainable energy sources like wind??”

Domin-Speak for yourself. Can you tell me why so many european countrys like France and Sweden use so much nuclear energy when a clean fuel like natural gas is simply burnt off at oil dereks. Or why you in Europe cause so much acid rain from dirty fuels like coal or fossil fuel when natural gas is available yet thrown away?
Wind power is not an alternative, it should be taken advantage of in places with enough wind to make it cost effective, but its not going to eliviate any countrys energy problems.

ageorge- If the pic is over 100kb, email it to rabie and have him reduce it for you and send it back to you. Then you open it by clicking the attachment, whatever program your computer uses to open/display the photo should have a file icon at top, click that, then click “send to” to send to the “my photos” or “my documents” of your windows OS. Once its there, just clic the browse icon where it says attach file when your posting, you should be able to find your photo, open it and load it.
