Spring RTS Engine

the dxlevel thing worked for me.

I support TF2.

Ahem, bare with me here, I'm about to go into a massive rant :

Team fortress 2.... something that some of us waited 10 years to see.

Sadly, the end result is something that is NOTHING like the team fortress we've all grown to love

dude what planet are you on?

Shh, I know about FF.

There's a teeeny weeeeeeeeny problem though :

TF2 is stealing more than half the players right now.

Is it better than enemy territory quake wars or than natural selection?
I already have HL2 and I don't want to pay for another mod unless its really really good.

I'd say so yeah
And nemppu - Jeez, its $45 for five games. FIVE!

Good enough deal for a skint student who just spent £1400 on new PC to buy...at least.

I loved the promo vids of the TF2 classes. Might buy it but it will probably end up collecting dust on some shelf while I play spring anyway...

That's not the problem really. If they'd have a deal where you preorder it now, pay the ~31 euro, get to download TF2, and when it gets released they mail it to you, I'd buy it instantly. But, as far as I know, the only option is to pay the ~31 euro for rights to download the games from steam. 31 eur is megacheap if I get a five game packadge with physical boxes and cds, but too high to toss over the internet for some cyber-licence-download-shit. I don't quite trust this steam shit.

Meh, it's the way things are going these days. If you read the licenses to the old material games it's really not like you owned the game if you owned a CD anyways.

Ofcourse not, but then I've some physical proof of the purchase and a sweet looking box to put on the shelf.

You do know you can back your downloaded games to DVD right?

Right-Click Game --> Backup game files...

It will pack the files and split them to easily fit on DVD or CD.

No.

So you'd rather pay a publisher than a developer, nemppu?

Fine. Don't expect me to be your freind though, since I AM a developer.

He never said anything like that. Preferring to have a physical copy is a natural thing that has nothing to do with whether you want to support the developer or not.

Your 'physical copy' is a lump of plastic. It's no LESS real than your harddrive, which is where your 'digital copy' is stored.

Just buy it!! TF2 is fantastic.

If you're talking to me, I ALREADY HAVE IT.

Except that a well-cared for CD will last far, far longer than a typical hard drive. That said, as long as the internet distribution method has a robust backup-to-disk or re-download system, it's a wash. (Though with re-download: What if the company goes under? If you bought TA with digital download, now you wouldn't be able to get a new copy (officially at least))

And the whole more-money-going-directly-to-the-game-designer thing is sweet.
