The problem is that there is a limit to the combined amount of top-level graphics (bump-maps, vertex lighting, and so on), AI, general physics, as well as whatever ragdoll effects are needed. Doom3 will not have waves of monsters, more like one or tw...  [Read More]

Very well put, Prime ... My other thought on this is - does the game 'cheat' on you for the sake of added difficulty? In JKII I think the answer is generally no. When I have the saber, the only time I don't one hit kill is if I need to block a shot,...  [Read More]

I found that the GHOUL2 hit system was well in effect in JKII. From the beginning of Kejim, I was able to 1-hit headshot stormies with the E11, and take down a group at close range with little damage to myself at close range. Later on, with the sa...  [Read More]

OK, I just finished MoH Spearhead expansion, and it made me glad we're not getting 'just an expansion'. I've become more fond of MoHAA over the last year - it still has that 'tight' feel to it, and I've forgiven the $$ to SP game length ratio. So I f...  [Read More]
