BTS,
Q: Will the software have a reliable installation and update program (unlike a very detailed war game I use that had recent frequent updates and W98 problems and the initials WF)? CONCERN: Program installer requests like: Copy the update to the program directory and do a hand stand. Make sure to have a second person place a beach ball on your feet. Now execute the update. Now spin the beech ball till it hits 15 rotations per second. Then, turn the computer on and off quickly. Twice. Don't forget the Beer.
Q: Many users on this board will provide scenarios. Will it be an easy process to load these scenarios. CONCERN: People's user-created scenarios rarely worked. West Front forces me to put them into the program directory (I'll never find it again if I don't want it). PG2 had maps in one directory, scenarios in another and user scenarios in a third (I have screwed PG2 up with everything from equipment files to scenarios and forced to reinstall several times, because I can't remember where to put what when).
Q: Will vehicles be easily added? Once added, can I uninstall game and reinstall with the added vehicles still in place?
etc. etc.,
Q: If I head into a weekend and have a dozen important tasks to perform prior to Monday, and I spend 37 hours playing computer games, will Monday suck or not suck?
NOTE: If these topics have been covered, I apologize and please bad-mouth me publicly for being lazy and not searching the board.
As for being lazy, I have CM to blame. I just sit and read and sit and look and read.
If I have upset anyone with my comments on other games, I am sorry. But working for a software developer as a salesman for the last decade has made me intolerant of coding problems and difficult updates.
