Download MOH Airborne, Since they can't get it to a store near me Options

[Genocide Junkie]

I am downloading the game from EA. You can buy it direct from them for the same $50. It looks like it's going to take about 5 hrs. If anyone is interested here is the link to ealink... http://www.ea.com/ealink/index.jsp?sourceid=ea730

According to several forums, SLI will work by simply renaming the game to UNREAL3.EXE. Sli problem solved. As far as multiplayer is concerned, that is supposed to be corrected by sept 20th, we shall see. If i recall correctly everyone was screaming and bitching for a patch when COD2 came out. Please people, lets atleast give them a chance to fix things. As far as COD4 is concerned, it is yet to be determined if it will be any better than Airborne or COD2 for that matter.

LOL! Well, I guess Abuse, but you have to rename the game to UNREAL3.EXE?!!?! That's bizarre! Why would they say it is not supported then? Perhaps it will tend to crash, even though this makes it work?

Personally, I think I would have accepted them moving the release date for PC back until december or something so that they'd get it right. As you can see, releasing an unfinished product pleases almost no one.

I'm definately getting to be of the mindset to realize games are different than movies. It's OK to make the effort to see a movie the day it comes out, but with games it is not a good idea. The users for the first 2 months are really just beta testers.

IMO, perhaps they should release the full game for a discount for 2 months in download only format, and call it a FINAL BETA version. Work out the bugs with the hardcore fans who know and realize they are getting a n t-quite-finished game, but at a discount, and perhaps you keep everyone happy. Hardcore fans get the first peek at the full game at a reduced price, then give feedback to EA (or whomever) on what to fix. Certainly seems better than "Let's ship it unfinished and hope people are patient enough to wait for a patch."

Hey MOD, Whats Bizarre about renaming the game unreal.exe? answer, nothing because the game is based on the unreal3 engine not the quake engine like it used to be. There will be a sli profile in upcomig drivers from nvidia. Sli is way overated if you ask me anyway and should not be a reason for not buying the game, I know this first hand as i have ran 2x 7900gt's and 2x8800gtx in sli and as far as benchmarks are concerned the sli setup smokes the single card every time, but when gaming you might see a 20 to 30% improvement in fps, hardly worth over twice the investment if you ask me. Anyway, Did EA rush this game out the door to make a quick dollar?......yes......Is the game lacking a bunch of features that should have been included in the game?......yes......Is the gameplay,graphics,weapons mods,sprint feature, sounds, etc anygood......yes..... IMO as good as any that i have seen or played. Is the game going to fill everyone's needs?....no. I'm just saying that people should give it a chance because as far as i know every game that has ever came out needed refinement and they are supposed to refine it sometime in mid September.JMO
