No, it can't be.
Must be accidents.

...I really don't understand this one...

[Thorn]

The voice acting in Deus Ex is terrible..
It makes the Iwar2 acting look good...
JC is the worst, the tone of his voice never changes....

[WraithHost]

I've not tried IWar2 but I like the sound of a Newtonian flight engine. I'll give it a go if I can find a copy in any shops.

Bought it today, played it for about 2 hours till now....

So far it's very dissappointing.  Sliding (lateral thrusters) doesn't seem to work, it's very slow (ship speed), there's some god awful clipping on the player ships model wheer chunks disappear, and it isn't much fun to be honest.  The little kid is hella annoying.

Graphics are ok - nebulas are a bit crap though - I can definately see modding potential there, even if only a conversion of my FS2 models (possible?).

I'm hoping it'll pick up, but right now I'm sick of getting blown up in the first real combat situation in the Storm Petrel.... every time I get shot to pieces before I can even hit the thrusters to full and maneuver.

I would say that FS2 is a much better game - more fun, and easier to pick up and play - and I think that, with the exception of the lighting, weapons and navlights, FS2 is still equal or better in graphics...

Funny, the sliding should work...
Once you get into act one it does pick up rather quickly...
Slow? Doesnt seem like that to me..
You using the thrust overide or just the throttle?
I noticed the clipping thing as well, but it dissapears when I crank the detail settings (too bad I cant play it like that).
Yes the kid is annoying, but in act one, no more kid  
In that situation, you can move when its still in director mode, hit your thrusters before it ends, they dont shoot then..

Dunno... '-' and '=' keys

Really?  I think I have them on full (bar tri-linear filtering (or summat) and 32 bit colour.

Runs fine (Athlon 1.5, 256 Ram, GeForce 2 32MB), except major slowdown when I blow up

Ah...never occured to me, cheers.  I was going to try a tactical LDA (?), but there's that damn inhibitor.

Try WASD

I have it, and would strongly discourage anyone from buying it until you can get it for about $10. It has the potential to be a truly great game, but the campaign is boring as hell, the fighting isn't as intense but is much harder to survive, and adherence to realism can go too far. Plus it crashes constantly, and the dozens of little video clips for things like taking off get really annoying. You know the hallmark of a ****ty design when the fanpages feature tons of patches to DISABLE stuff!

[Kamikaze]

LOL, thats funny Stryke. Anyway eventually I think I'll pick up IWar after Civ3, Dune, Red Alert, SE4, FS3...

[Nico]

aldo: disengage the flight assistance (keys are in a html on the CD), it will fly much easier  
Strange, I don't have clipping pbs at all, and my gfx settings aren't set to full...
I find dogfights to be very intense, too (and really not that hard)...
slow? well, can't really say, I always thought FS2 was damn slow, in comparison iwar does quite well, no (well, if you don't use overdrive, your ship will respect the speed limits and then, yes, it's very slow)?
for the kid, yeah, you're right   anyway, act0 is really short (but adult Cal isn't great anyway).
It never crashed, for me... Stryke, what's your config? For the taking off cutscenes, you're right anyway: go on the PS site, there's a mod to disable then, really cool  
Anyway, as I love that game (took some time to get in, but then...), so i may not be very objective.

[phreak]

i have a good kb only config i might want to send out to some people

[Setekh]

Well, there are good and bad points for IW2, but having played the demo, I'm still edging towards the FS2 side. But that might change for now.

Setekh, you MUST not judge the game by that horrible demo. Like Venom said, the fighting goes from the jejeune to the utterly intense. I've had a few pry-the-fingers-from-the-stick fights in act1 alone.

I won't, I won't. I'm just having way too much fun doing other stuff (renders, typically) to pick up IW2 yet.  

[USS Alexander]

Iwar 2 edge of chaos you mean if so i already got it

[Styxx]

I have the game, but I stopped playing it after the first couple of missions on Act 1, when you're supposed to raid random ships to improve your own. I just can't get any good deal out of the cargo I get home, and the "missions" that are supposed to give me better deals are almost impossible (like, taking on three navy cruisers with my tug!). After dying several times I got bored and stopped playing - though I plan to get back to it when I have more free time.

Hehe, this is a bit off topic but, you actually tried to take out those cruisers!?

All you have to do is make the transport drop its cargo, run away and wait for the cruisers to get bored. That's the way I did it at least...

hehehe, I think everybody did that way  
There's no way you can take 3 cruisers on your own with the tug and the ridiculous weapons you have at the begining ( to be honest, I tried, and couldn't get even one of them) And yes, pirating, at the begining, isn't easy
