Of course it is. So the game wasn't that long, big deal, it is still a great game that throws up plenty of variety in the missions in the game. The Normandy landings, the tank level, the stealth missions ect.. This is the kind of variety that's lacking in most games today, plus I've played through MOH: AA three times, so length for me isn't a problem. It's gameplay that's the concern.

Sequels to great games though. And these days many sequels have much more in them than their predecessors. Yes they have basically the same set-up and many of the same characters, but that's to stay true to the original game they’re based on. Commandos 2 for example, has the same isometric view and characters from the first commandos game, but there are a wealth of improvements that make the sequel everything the first game tried to be and more.

SOF2 is far from easy. It still retains the constant action and limited stealth missions, but in my opinion, and a few others here, it's a sequel that far bettor’s the original.

> No one ever respects thing like mods they take ages with good programs

Untrue, I always look out for great mods and total conversions for many of my favourite games, and I'm sure many others here do the same. There are some great modifications out there, the only problem is they take so long to develop. Plus I always download new mods when a game starts to get repetitive for me, for example, I downloaded a cool matrix mod for max Payne, and it was like playing the game again for the first time.

> I think that the pc gaming indestry has
> really gone down hill scince 3d cars

Again untrue. Just because developers like to show off their ability to create stunning environments for their games, doesn't always mean they've left out the fundamental game play element. Sure it doesn't always happen like this, but because a game has great graphics, doesn't mean it's lacking in game play.

3D cards are part of the future of gaming, if the PC didn't have any of these hardware devises, then many developers would probably go towards the console market to show off their developing skills. So, if the PC didn't have 3D cards, then the PC probably wouldn't have a games industry.

I've very rarely had this problem. There have been a couple of times in the past when a game gets a connection problem and crashes, but it's rare. And it's always been down to the server, not my Internet connection. I suggest you invest in broadband if you haven't already, it's a much better service.

pc games are getting more expensive and they not very big for example medal of honour allied asult for £30 is it realy worth it now who wants to join me sending emails to game companies. Also there is always something 2 duex ex,red alert,half life,igi,worms defintly and so one now if they made complete new stuff with no old engines or things like that new guns, new plan,new gameplay and new ideas.I see at the top of my screen sof2 the first one was the easist thing ever. No one ever respects thing like mods they take ages with good programs not to mention bad programs. I think that the pc gaming indestry has really gone down hill scince 3d cars for example the first lemings was brill nearly impossible now the new on is boring don't get me wrong i still like pc game but please make them realistic shoot e'm ups. The cool internet games get in my face but how can you play it when your internet conection keeps turning it self of every 15 minutes how bad can you get make it work please for heavens sake make it work.

I don't need to prove anything to a fool like yourself who can't even spell the word correctly, but just for the record I will acquiesce.

Irony is basically the use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.

Yup, I'd say my latter guess at 6 years old was about right!!

Nope, it's an art form. Bad spelling is the most 'stupid thing in the world'.

Because you are.

OK, I'm going to have to revise my guess at your age. Judging by that last comment you can't be long out of primary school, so how about....er......6? Are you 6? Am I getting closer?

It's not often I'll side with IB, but in this case I feel obliged to. Eses, if you really want anyone to listen you then please will you type in proper English. I currently estimate your age to be 8 or 9 years old, judging by both your intelligence and spelling. If you want to talk to us properly and expect sensible replies, then TYPE PROPERLY.
