They are only crazed lunatics because they like Toronto for some reason... The rest of us on the other hand are laughing. Vancouver-Colorado are tied 3-3 going into overtime. EDIT: Aw crap. Colorado scored on a breakaway. <_<

And the Sens just scored again! Wow! I hate to be a Leafs fan tonight. The Sens are trying to get 5 goals on each goalie. "

7+ now in 14 minutes left. " Heatley has 4 goals tonight. EDIT: 8+ in 11 minutes now.

You're welcome. "

There were seven tutorial missions that discussed various things from attacking to demonstrating how diplomacy works.

Some people seem to have more fun with it than others do.

Ah, but how did the game play? I haven't read any good reviews ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Err, slowly? It was a very focused tutorial. It walked you through everything with a myriad of text boxes. It never left you alone to try things out as it would only continue if you did exactly as it told you to.

Already did. The lag issues seem to be across the board.

You're still here aren't you?

Yeah but that was part of the fun! Watching you two nit pick every little thing in each others posts.

I probably shouldn't comment on them having not run into them yet, but... Panzerkleins apparently ruined the later stages of the game for a lot of people as they basically turned your soldiers into walking tanks.

Hey, that thread was fun! I enjoyed reading that one.

*makes an assumption* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (I just added the smilie. )

You're welcome. <_<

:D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bless you for finding that. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe he was drunk when he posted that. " Or maybe it wasn't posted by him and it's a fake quote!

The demo wasn't really all that exciting. Just a tutorial.

The 3D Engine does a very good job in my opinion although for some reason I just can't get used to the up and down movement of the camera. I keep moving the mouse the wrong way and if I reverse it then it is reversed in my mind at the same time so I get no where. I haven't had any problems whatsoever on my ATI card so that should tell you something. " My copy came pre-patched to version 1.2 so that might explain a few things. Actually now that I think about it there was one glitch where I practically stood on top of a guy and still couldn't see him. I assumed he was dead as I put a full round of Thompson ammo right through the red shadow. Turns out he didn't die as he pumped my guy so full of lead on the next turn that I was surprised the bullets didn't start ricocheting off him near the end as they hit bullets that were already fired. Destructable terrain is your friend! If you hear someone on the other side of a wall or above/below you, you don't need to expose yourself to an interrupt and possible full burst to the face() since you can just fire right through floors/walls depending on what weapon you are using. Entrance to a building to well guarded? Blow a hole in the side wall and storm in there! When blowing holes in walls though just remember to leave enough that the building doesn't collapse. Unless of course you are on the outside and the enemy is on the inside. " I was playing a mission where I had to rescue a couple allied soldiers that were pinned down outside a building by a bunch of Germans that were using the building for cover and shooting out the windows. Ended up with a group of massed german troops in one corner of the second floor firing out a single window. The Allied troop that was closest pulled out a bazooka and blew away the wall on the first floor which collapsed the whole corner of the building from the first floor up to the third and sent the germans crashing to their deaths. That was pretty neat. :cool:

OMG! Meta double posted!

I piked it up earlier this week. Great game. Anything in particular about it that you want described?

All of the music comes in MP3 format. :cool:

Could be. I think most of the lag I get is due to other components as it increases exponentially as the map size increases.

Do you have anything running in the background? Antivirus or the like? Might explain general lagginess. Strange that your computer is overall better than mine but you are getting worse performance. How bad is the lag?

It's honestly not that bad. There is like half a second between pressing the button and the unit moving. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...more like a sec and it is annying as hell! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You seem to be getting more lag that I am, but if it really is that much... I noticed that movement was sluggish although it didn't bother me enough to get me to stop. The game is still very playable although I'm a little more forgiving with Turn based games that have lag issues as it doesn't matter as much. Are you getting lag at any other times or is it just the unit acknowledgement time?

It's honestly not that bad. There is like half a second between pressing the button and the unit moving.
