Not shure it will be a "disaster" as you call it.
Maybe for me it could be a dissapointment,slight difference there.
But hey i dont like DC either and how popular is that?

Neither BG 1.0 nor 1.1 were what I call "playable", and unfortunately a
new server opened a few months ago. Since there are no rules and nobody
bothers to take care of smacktards, all of them assemble there and draw
the remaining players after them, thus making this moron server about
the only populated. The highest count of players (as seen on ASE) banned
on Elk's Lair and other servers for various reasons was 9 in a single
match so far.

Most people I know use FX5*00 cards, with a few ATI sprinkled in
between. I have yet to meet someone in person who has a high-end card.

I can almost certainly guarantee, that there will be someone out there,
that produces a WW2 mod at least ;-)

Some really nice features in the scoring system, in particular the
teamwork points if you're driving a vehicle and someone in that vehicle
makes a kill. Also, I love the idea of bonus points for killing an
opponent within your flag radius, encouraging people to defend instead
of charging off like lunatics leaving the flags open to recapture...

The commander interface is interesting, not sure what to make of it yet
but the ability to create a mobile spawn point should be useful in the
right hands.

The ability to sprint for short periods, while nothing new in FPS games,
is a nice addition.

Yea it was nice and quick from the UK, I expect it will be from Belgium
too.

Hehe, same here. I downloaded it over the weekend along with the 0.67
FH patch (500+ megs), two movies (1.5 gigs) and 4 episodes of an old BBC
history documentary (1.7 gigs). Good job my ISP doesn't have a
bandwidth cap...yet.

I'm hoping that there is some fatique for rabbit-jumping. I think the
new Brothers In Arms game has that.

1 minute 45 seconds in (just before the end), very nice shot of a guided
missile taking out a jet. It was beautiful 😉

LOL...I think Jeremy Clarkson is a twit that's why, he has far too high
an opinion of himself and likes the sound of his own voice. :)

Yes, just watched that bit again (35:00) and he said:

"Bunny hopping decreases your stamina so you're not going to have the
bunny hopping out of range that you had in other games."

Which is nice :)

Indeed he does. Nevertheless Top Gear is quite likely the best TV car
magazine there is, and for sure the funniest. ;^)

Yeaaaa Cracking result, not too optimistic about the quarter final
though, some scary teams in there 😉

I'd trade it for 4th place in the league and Gerrard staying...
