There are enough games coming until then... at least for my taste.

In COD3 you can set it to a mouselike "move screen with moving crosshair" style. It's really good! But i like the "new" way much more. I'm even so much used to it, that, while i'm gonna buy COD4, i already miss it in there! All non-Wii FPS look now pretty "artificial" despite the great nextgen graphics to me...

Has anyone an idea about how the gameplay works?

@Brian
I had to play it on a 286 too. 21Mhz and 1MB Ram wasn't enough, so i had to create a Bootdisk... but this game was worth all the trouble!

You guys saying that there's no warming around your place know about the effects of "Global Dimming", right? If not, you should read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_dimming

But i will give you an (short) excerpt anyway:
"The phenomenon underlying global dimming may also have regional effects. While most of the earth has warmed, the regions that are downwind from major sources of air pollution (specifically sulfur dioxide emissions) have generally cooled. This may explain the cooling of the eastern United States relative to the warming western part.[24]
Some climate scientists have theorized that aircraft contrails (also called vapor trails) are implicated in global dimming, but the constant flow of air traffic previously meant that this could not be tested. The near-total shutdown of civil air traffic during the three days following the September 11, 2001 attacks afforded a rare opportunity in which to observe the climate of the United States absent from the effect of contrails. During this period, an increase in diurnal temperature variation of over 1 °C was observed in some parts of the U.S., i.e. aircraft contrails may have been raising nighttime temperatures and/or lowering daytime temperatures by much more than previously thought."

I don't know why you hate the global warming theory and Al Gore (maybe bc i'm from europe), so please don't flame me, but for me and most people i know global warming is accepted as a reality and can be felt every year more drastically (probably bc global dimming is on a step back here in europe).

"By refusing to acknowledge their dark past and pretending it never happened, not even teaching their school children about it"

Sorry, but you don't know anyhing about germany.
I was forced to learn about all this WW1 and WW2 shit for years in school. And even in my free time I'm regulary tortured by TV-Documentations and Movies about the fucking history of Germany. And that is ok, bc nobody should forget what gruel things happend in the past.

But I have to add, that I don't feel guilty or something like that, bc I was born over 30 years after the end of WW2. I have absolutely nothing to do do with the crimes of the past. So please stop bashing people for living in germany!

To make you feel better:
I really like the pic with the football - it's really cool!
Would like to know how the goal was composed in to the pic.

@ 25
Hey man, what?
I started right after I saw that there's a contest. I think there wasn't even any posts at this time... :-p

Sended my pic 5 mins ago... but now that I see those pics of you guys, I feel full of shame and begin to hate myself for working 5 hours on my crappy (but bloody!!!) pic.
Oh if I had just played Tetris... :-(

I gonna wait for the next Desktop-Line including OS X 10.6 to replace my 5 year old, still well running (just for work...), G4 466. And then as first I'm going to play F.E.A.R. and HL2.
Thank you Mr. Jobs for Bootcamp or whatever it will be called when it's included in OS X 10.6!!!
