So there I was, two hours into a Big World, solo vs three CPU match when I am notified that a spectator is trying to connect to the game. I didn't think anything of it---if somebody wants to watch me take on the CPU its okay with me---but I notice that this spectator never actually connects to my game. I feared a glitch of some sort was taking place...and I was right. After about ten minutes, my game screen blacks out with a message being displayed that the game is trying to reconnect...without success, of course. Not being able to do anything else, I hit abort and the game exists to the main menu!!!
MY GAME!!! Two hours wasted!!! And just when my missiles were approaching their targets!!!
Why did I lose my game? It wasn't a multiplayer game, after all. And, even if it was, I was the host! I guess "abort" doesn't just abort the attempt to reconnect, but the whole game. Next time I must remember to turn off my cable modem before playing a solo game....
DEFCON really needs a auto-save feature to prevent things like this happening. At least I would have been able to restore the game.
Oh well, I guess a missile hit my bunker.
I must say that I enjoyed the Big World map. It gives you a heck of a lot of units to play with and the range on fighters is much more realistic---they actually are useful with that size map. In that game I also was experimenting with making one of the CPUs my ally---it seemed to be working nicely. I was hoping to experiment with a backstab, but alas, the world suddenly ended.
I guess I was killed!
