It is time to dust off that old battlefield clothing, bringing together the mandatory equipment (coffee pot, coffee, cans of baked beans and of course a can opener) as well as some of the more optional stuff (like firearms, ammunition, medium-sized tanks, fuel and why not some bottles of good ol' Guinness...) because now.... at last... finally....
SHIT HAS BECOME REAL!!!
It has actually become so real, that it is questionable that shit ever has been this real before!
Without testing this S44 beforehand, I think the Battlefield(TM)-ness of Operation Polaris has been beaten by this release! Amazing work folks!
So, I'll download it (and other good software, like latest spring, latest Intel X Windows driver etc) and install it and check it out to see how amazingly smoothly (well probably not) it will run on my Linux laptop with it's top of the line (hah!) GPU, the glorious intel 965!
Seriously, I hope. the latest Spring, this S44, the latest X-windows stuff works well enough with that GPU, so the game is playable (previous versions of S44 were, so I am optimistic).
Of course, I'll abuse the FPS mode of S44 into absurdum, and pester you guys with suggestions related to that experience (like requesting vehicle dashboard HUDs when running FPS as well as infantry hud-guns.) After all, you DID confess that you played a lot of Battlefield 2 as part of the development of this mod

.
Damn it, I think I even smell a faint smell of FREE TIME in the near future, so I can play this game without too bad impact to my real life responsibilities.
I'll get back to you with a report once I've got a chance to test this.
(Damn, first operation Polaris and now this... mega-squeeee!!!)
PS. The quote "Shit is getting real" is stolen from the excellent "game" "Problem Sleuth" found on the "MSPaint Adventures" site. GROSSLY recommended! (
