and it wasn't ridiculously expensive either was it?

Post Thu May 27, 2004 11:18 am

yeah it was a little steep 149.99...(got a deal) but this audiogy 2 platimun pro is an astounding card for my musical work...how can you beat 108db's in all channels with the clarity it has!!!!!

I play DF:BHD too, I hope Team Sabre fixes the flaws in it. It could have been a superb game, certainly as far as the environment goes esp in Mogadishu, it's excellent. But the AI is dreadful, the missions can be ridiculously hard to do (as in impossible) for simple and stupid objectives, and some of the levels have had insultingly low design values - Sonic the Hedgehog is better thought out. There is a good game there underneath and of course it shines in MP, but DF originally was as much about quality SP campaigns.

Do you shoot the skinnies when they throw rocks at you? I almost always do, it's really hard not to - a very realistic touch in the game that.

it's superior to DF:LW & TFG, but there's a long way to go before it matches original DF for gameplay, and it's still way behind Ghost Recon or other tactical shooters. Let me know honestly what you think of Team Sabre and I might give it a whirl.

..how I dearly wish I was not here..

Post Thu May 27, 2004 2:38 pm

Team sabre is good but they STILL left out COOP.....kinda aggravates me cause i lvoe coop missions....but the SP missions are great all in columbia and Iran...and your question about teh skinnies....umm HELL yeah....after i saw the flick and the game was out i shot at all those people with a vengance....but it was light years ahead of LW but it needs better AI all the way around

The newest installment...Joint Operations...it seems to be awesome...i DLed the demo when it came out it was spectacular....can't wait to get my hands on the actual game.....picture Battlefield1942 with DF:BHD graphics x 2 and in the same generation of BHD....its a graet all around Multiplayer experance....a must have for the multiplayer gamer!!!!

but yeah Team Sabre is a good expansion its worth getting it is cheap now like barely $19.99 brand new at best buy...but it is fun none the less.

P4 2.6c 800FSB
512 Mb PC3200 Corsair RAM

As for Battle:Vietnam, meh. I bought 1942 and really didn't understand the hype.

Post Fri May 28, 2004 4:04 pm

yeah vietnam was a little bit of a let down....but hopefully when joint operations comes out it will rip the BF1942 franchice a neww bunghole!

at least they are keeping the DF thing going

You discovered that DVD burners "rock" because they can store 4 GB on each DVD? I could have told you that! Personally, I'm waiting for a 12x dual-layer burner before I buy one. It will be a while before they are cheap enough to be worth it though, and there would hardly be any media for them. After all, there still isn't that much 8x media here in Aus.

Post Sun May 30, 2004 5:56 pm

yeah it took a personal experance to make me love it but i am just like you waiting for that 12x burner....thats gonna be the best thing in a while
