it's been like over a month i haven't visited defcon...but nothing has apparently changed since then. still no ranking, or any improvement at all for that matter.
sad, really, because I liked this game.

oh OH! I love the red-telephone idea!

They should market a red-telephone accessory!
Otherwise it should at least be possible to make brief "calls" by microphone (like 15 seconds) once someone launches missiles in the game.

yeah, but then it would be cool if IV could at least tell us it is on the cards..

panama should be open. period.

i guess we're never going to see that ranking system.
i've stopped playing defcon now, since I haven't been beaten for 3 days and it's getting really really boring.

yeah microphone-support is a MUST in any game of the 21st century...amazed that it wasn't implanted in the first place.

i think this is an extremely bad idea on so many levels..

a ranking which would penalize a quitter could also handle this problem..

I agree with Xander on all he said about the ranking system. I want also to stress the fact that when someone leaves a game, he should be penalized as if he simply lost the game. However, there could obviously be statistics which would point out, for example, how much damage a player has dealt (with...

hope its rank rank rank!!
I've got steam, so I can't test the beta out; can someone tell us what the improvements are (please rank rank rank)?

There's already about 75% less servers than at launch...by this rate, it'll become hard to get a 6/6 game going in a reasonable time.

Maybe time to put that ranking system online?

If by "noobs" you mean those "players who abruptly quit games, have disruptive behaviour or just have anti-game tactics" (which I was refering to in my post), well then yes, I want the community splitted between noobs and experts. Oh, yes, and also separate forums, why not? Then...

Although there's loads of different ways to strategically play the game fundamentally it's the same thing each time. It's great now but I could see myself losing interest fairly easily - luckily online is turning out to be a blast so I'll carry on for now! I agree, although a ranking system would b...
