I posted this in the Introversion Lounge because I did not realize a thread existed about it in here got my boxed copy the other day, I was expecting a normal box, and normally I do not like it when a pc game comes in a DVD-style box (as I understand is now the norm in Europe) but with DEFCON, I lik...

How so? the original poster was talking about camping out on launch day, not for pre-orders, which he already said he missed, he asked for tips on camping for the system itself

Got it in the mail today, I was expecting a normal box, and normally I do not like it when a pc game comes in a DVD-style case (as I understand is now the norm in Europe) but DEFCON came in one, and I like it

Here are some tips 1. Make absolutely sure the store will let you camp out, some stores do not like it as it crowds the store and can create a safety problem (in their eyes) if the store is not open 24 hours a day, this is not such a concern, unless the police show up wondering what you are doing ou...

This is a quick list of things not to ask for. Because they have already been considered. If IV changes their stance on any of the below I'll be sure to have the change represented here. I've just started this and shall endeavour to update with links to the threads about each topic as quickly as po...

Will IV really consider it? It would take a long time to implement and I think their idea of a patch is to fix problems and introduce new, but minor features. Again, though, I think it would definitely make for a cool game, and it would satisfy a lot of unsatisfied people. Doubtful, because this ga...

Exactly, if someone needs more of a storyline, open your history book to "the Cold War", and read

are you sure about that? i wasn't sure i could find proof (and hence have nothing to back up my case) but I have: Chris Delay: Actually Defcon is based on the same multiplayer architecture as Darwinia. Although Darwinia is a single-player game its actually running a multiplayer style server-client ...

What gets me is the repeated request for a "nuke all" button which would either (depending on which one you read) nuke random targets, or nuke all known targets, which would take alot out of the game and the challenge, it would be abused like hell and every single multiplayer game would co...

For those who do not know, long ago the effects of radiation were not widely understood, upon discovering radium many people wrongfully assumed that radiation was actually GOOD for you countless products were made, the best-known example were radium dials on watches because it glowed in the dark, bu...

I just wanted to add that I, too, have toured a bunker (Google Project Greek Island) that was intended for the US Congress and their families to live in in case of a nuclear war, it was weird standing in the Broadcast room which had clocks for all the time zones on the wall, along with a mural of th...

and LCD monitors are immune tell that to my 20" LCD that got the start menu on its lower border even when turned off / playing games I think you missed where I said I forgot about image persistance in an LCD, and was thinking only of phosphor burn-in, which since LCD do not use traditional pho...

If implemented, I would suggest it as an on/off option, because some people might get annoyed, or after awhile get tired of it

What gets me is the second you click nuke on a Submarine it surfaces and is attackable, before you have even selected your target, now whether this is intentional as a realistic depiction of a Submarine surfacing first I do not know, but it has annoyed me a couple of times that the exact second I cl...
