sounds biaised to me.
Anyway, who the hell wants to do weapon cleansing in a FPS?
there's a limit to realism ( whish is called "boring factor" ). There's nothing "exciting" in rubbing the mouse ( the guy has been watching furry pr0n lately? ).
oh well, that's... well... voila.

The preview sounds a little "suspicious" to me.  I'll believe it when I see it...or is that I'll see it when I believe it...

Never mind that radio jockeying ingame sounds about as fun and productive as applying spackle to your left nostril and sanding it for two hours straight.

Me, when I wanna get that level of realism, I'll head off for the nearest clock tower.
Webpage. Yes.

Yeah, realism's fine to a point, like OFP. But games are meant for escapism, not to be an exact duplicate of real life.

Take the MS Flight Sim series, sitting there, looking at a load of dials for eight hours as you cross the atlantic in a craft that handles like a bloody hutt on tranquilizers. Now that's what I call FUN!:rolleyes:

I cannot imagine that the genusies (sp?) behind HL1 could actually be taken into believing that cleaning ones firearm and coordinating remote troops will be "fun" (unless the last is a multiplayer-only feature, but then again that can be and has been duplicated by any FPS clan match where the clan uses voice chat).

I doubt it's genuine, that article preview thingy. :doubt:

For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

flight simulator is not a game. it's not meant to be "fun", it's meant to please people who wants to pilot a real plane and can't ( coz it's too expensive, coz it's the weekend - yeah, lots of real pilots "play" FS, etc ). You kindda missed the point there.

Well, that and the fact that it's clearly a hazard suit.

Well, I didn't remember the look of the hazard suit that well - for all I knew it could have been something from The Journeyman Project... but for the orange! :p
