Leveling up fine, but I have worse performance in general. Edge scrolling and moving the camera on minimap/tacmap both lag a bit even with all settings turned to minimum. Speaking of which, why does the camera slide around instead of instantly moving where you click? Adds half a second of waiting to moving around the map needlessly.

I know I know my shits old now

I want to reply to this thread again but I feel like my time would almost be better served just reposting what I wrote earlier. It's fine to discuss ways to improve blizzards, but for the love of god stop saying it doesn't add anything.

Making it so units don't die when freezing removes depth, since it's easier to make a decision about keeping a unit around when there isn't a serious risk of losing the squad.

BABIES DON'T TALK

I mean eyy I'm excited

I also never pretended to know what's in the minds of every Russian, but I know what the school history textbooks in Russia say and I know the attitudes/commentary of the Russian government in regards to the war so I don't have to have lived in Russia to make the observations that I make, just as you don't need to live in America to know that most Americans are technically obese.


Would Stalin been able to have done what he did without his Russian lieutenants and footsoldiers?

I suppose you also feel comfortable claiming that all french love baugettes and cigarettes and making ze sweet love, all british drink tea thrice daily and worship the queen, and all Americans, besides just being obese, also watch reality TV all day and think that the new-age imperialism the U.S. military is engaging in in the Middle East is really a great idea (for the record I actually do). Your example of Americans being obese is an easily researched numerical piece of data, a far cry from the gauging of the general opinion of an entire nation -- not to mention a nation that is probably still afraid of speaking their mind about certain things.

Ask yourself this question: if you saw everyone who dared to speak out against the regime dragged away to Siberia, would you be brave enough to resist when they told you to go off to war?

I'm not a professional Historian, but I don't need to be to be able to tell you that nations get invaded all the time and that Russia is no exception. Saying that Soviet policy was legitimately motivated by a fear of foreign invasion is like saying a British occupation of France would be justified because of the Norman invasion of England in 1066 proves Britain is under the constant threat of invasion.

I didn't justify it, I asked for some attempt at understanding for the causes of it.

And I explicitly said in my post more than once that crimes against humanity are not uniquely a Russian vice, merely that we in the west are much more truthful in our treatment of the past than the Russians are which is a critical moral difference...

If I am open and honest about how I beat the crap out of all of my friends when I get drunk, you'll drink with me because I'm truthful about it? After all, I'm being much more moral by admitting it.

I implied none of those things. If you don't understand my post, please don't respond to it. I am primarily a PC gamer, I just feel the need to play devil's advocate since this will obviously be a "PC MASTER RACE!!!" forum.

1. Post-launch support is available for console too. Patching and balancing does happen on my ps3, and I never implied it was bad.

2. I neither said nor implied it would be paid dlc.

3. Not implied. My ps3 also handles optional, paid DLC, and no it's not a bad thing at all.

4. The idea of completeness comes from the fact that you know exactly what you're getting when you buy a console game. The notion of advertising post-launch features X, Y, and Z before the game ever launches does not really exist for consoles. Both console and PC devs occasionally release games that feel unfinished and rushed - that's not exclusive to consoles.

Like you pointed out PC has dominance in some genres, like RTS games, but consoles excel in other areas like sports or racing.

Also, getting together with friends to play some super smash bros. is a lot less nerdy than setting up a CoH LAN party! Just saying.

You are wasting people's time.
