Weekend notes.

Did a little beta stress testing on Saturday. Things of note:
-I hope this is not just anecdotal but battles appear to be LOUDER. Which is a good thing, nothing worse than going into a firefight and it being quieter than a walk in the country.
-New side strafing animation looks nice.
-MP40 seems to be less deadly.

On commanding, was reading Sres's post about his successful run of attacks OiCed (S! Sres) and noticed he acted as an MSP on at least one of them. My OiC attempt (and success.:)) this map was Engheim and I acted as the MSP for just about the whole attack. Having your OiC immobile with extremely limited visibility is not a good thing, but unfortunately a good portion of the time no one wants to volunteer to be the MSP.

Rightly so though, cause MSPing is damn boring. I must admit I usually don't understand why people want to have fully enterable and exitable vehicles in ww2ol so much but this is an instance where it would be rather useful. Allow the truck driver to hop out of the truck with a limited loadout (say a rifle with 50 rounds) and move around and more people would be willing to drive those MSPs out.

The other solution which Im going for is to have a second account and PC.:) Hopefully by the end of next month I will purchase the parts to a new system:
- AMD 64 3000
- AN8-E Asus Mobo.
- GeForce 6600 GT PCI-E

I already have the RAM (RMAed to Newegg and returning today woot) and have spare RAM for the old system (thanks to a $100 giftcard from BestBuy) so the old PC will become the second account/truck driver.

Hopefully the wife wont notice the $30 month charge from Playnet.:P


Oh and 1.19 is supposed to be released this week all things going well. Wootalicious.
