Another OK tin to report - a small corner dent but nothing like what some of us feared!

"Awe" Player can place a hovering Sepulveda-head statue/hologram/wireframe on the map, all DGs in an area below it about the size of a big KOTH hill are affected. They stop whatever they are doing (researching, fighting, being in formation, going where they were ordered, manning turrets, c...

Request - one-press zoom-out for wider view?

Since the Xbox 360's left stick click has no use, could it be intuitively assigned as a pull-back/anti-zoom feature to get a quick overview of the action? Could this also be implemented as a key command (v for view? b for back? Not sure if it would be a bad idea to have it too close to c, which coul...

Still no tin, I'll certainly let you know if this hits me too. Just contact IV & ask for it, I doubt it would be a problem.

Out of curiosity, was your tin OK?

I would guess that it would run on XP with low visual settings (the screen resolution is quite low on netbooks, but the graphics hardware might not cope with high detail - I have a decent desktop-replacement-laptop but everything is set to "low" for battery-powered use...). I am planning o...

What Pox said. The teapot has been a long-established 3D form for testing shading technologies, used by people like James Blinn. You know, James Blinn ? No? Never mind. Anyway, rumour has it that some early 3D programmers (1970s-early) could make you a teapot mesh from memory, plotting the X,Y,Z coo...

I am also in the UK. I was going to post a much bigger message but I too would rather try to stay on the side of goodwill. Morte pretty much summed up my thoughts... Besides, there is little point going back over the same complaints if some people are resigned to not always getting what they paid fo...

near two weeks waiting since release for my tin, bent or not, is pushing my patience, considering my money was taken when I clicked the button [...] I'm getting tired of excuses being made for IV. Order date: 27 August Order status: Shipped Any sign of a tin: No I'm not bothered by people "mak...

playing it on school machines would be fine as long as it's not actually installed Not necessarily true. Running or installing any unauthorised app is often a breach of regulations. Check with someone, then go along with their reply. The fact that MW includes networking features is a prime candidat...

OMG. Just no. 1. Making any commercial software portable means finding a way to uncouple the license from the host machine. This is typically a breach of the EULA, and often a route to making an easily distributed pirate version, though I can see the argument that IV's servers would not accept multi...

I hope that the replacement policy is simple & open, like "send us an empty damaged tin, we send you a perfect one & refund your postage". I can't see people wanting to post back the FWs and weight down the package with more than the damaged part. Whatever happens, I am surprised a...

Next time you want to adopt a game idea, why not make it then present it, rather than just suggesting it? You could impress everyone, and afterwards you can make something cool and original like a Flash version of Portal - wait, hang on... My honest opinion? Unless you can make a 2D client that take...
