jesus, as i've said in another thread, people that insist on letting people know they are breaking the rules, its nothing more than being a tattle-tale(is that how its spelt, haven't heard the term since i was 8). theres people on every forum who insist on letting everyone know what rule they are breaking, what word they screwed up, what law they broke and how bad what they did is. the people that make those posts, well, they are widely ridiculed on all forums ever setup, in real life, and in any other situation.
I don't know why people still do it when everyone hates it, and i mean, everyone. its so very clear no one needs to hear if you think what he did was right or wrong. he did it, if he loses his beta, so what, thats on him. not only that, they spoil threads and consequently get 50 posts devoted to saying this exact thing, listen learn and don't make posts pointing out exactly what other people did wrong.
Now to AOC, i REALLY hope its good but, the whole shields and hitting left middle or right. As much as I really wanted a new system of fighting. Something about a quickbar and hitting the same keys to attack throughout a game. the left/right/middle thing is mildly original but in the end mostly just means you'll be pressing 3 keys instead of a lot more, which will end up even more frustrating, or thats my major fear for the game. I hope its diverse enough to actually be interesting.
Watched the vid linked on first/second page, intro to it for press guys. its certainly way more impressive looking than i had thought it would be. Definately going to give it a try.
War sounds like, well, supposedly will look fairly lame which frankly is important. if it looks bad now playing it in 2 years will be painful. Also hate that guy that is either in charge or heavily involved in the game who does the interviews/preview info on the game.
