Freak post a link to it for everyone.

Freak what are you talking about...you just dug up nearly a 1 year old post ... :?

The Gospel According To John (Moses Browning) John Moses Browning was perhaps the finest firearms designer, ever. His designs continue to work and to serve almost 100 years after they were created. There is an ongoing controversy about the reliability and safety of current 1911s vs. other pistols and I think this about sums the situation up. http://home.sprynet.com/~frfrog/jmblogo.gif As translated from the original ancient manuscripts by Fr. Frog. 1 In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was THE pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, thou shalt not muck with my disciple John's design for it is good and it workith. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain. 2 And shouldst thou muck with it and hang all manner of foul implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come to harm. 3 And as the ages passed men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide releases upon the 1911 and their metal smiths didst tighten the tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clearness of mind being clouded by lust. 4 Their artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911 and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo, the artisans didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911 so that the lowly field worker could not afford one. And the profaning of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the land fell upon it. 5 And lo, they didst install adjustable sights , which are an abomination unto the Lord. For they doth break and loose their zero when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain in great numbers by their enemies in the great battle. a 6 And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunctions to come upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought they could do no wrong. 7 Seeing the malfunctions and the confusion of men the lord of the underworld did see an opportunity to further ensnare man and didst bring forth pistols made of plastic, whose form was such that they looked and felt like a brick, yet the eyes of man being clouded, they were consumed by the plastic pistol and did buy vast quantities of them. 8 And being a deceitful spirit the lord of the underworld did make these plastic pistols unamenable to the artisans of earth and they were unable to muck much with the design, and lo these pistols did function. 9 And the evil one also brought forth pistols in which the trigger didst both cock and fire them and which require a "dingus" to make them appear safe. 10 But man being stupid did not understand these new pistols and did proceed to shoot themselves with the plastic pistol, and with the trigger cocking pistols for lo their manual of arms required great intelligence which man had long since forsaken. Yet man continue to gloat over these new pistols blaming evil forces for the negligent discharges which they themselves had committed. 11 And when man had been totally ensnared with the plastic pistol, the lord of the underworld didst cause a plague of the terrible Ka-Boom to descend upon man and the plastic pistols delivered their retribution upon men. And there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the land. 12 Then seeing that the eyes of man were slowly being opened and that man was truly sorrowful for his sinful misdeeds, the Lord did send his messengers in the form of artisans who did hear and obey the teachings of the prophet and who didst restore the profaned 1911s to their proper configuration, and lo, to the amazement of men they didst begin to work as the prophet had intended. 13 And the men of the land didst drive out the charlatans and profaners from the land, and there was joy and peace in the land, except for the evil sprits which tried occasionally to prey on the men and women of the land and who were sent to the place of eternal damnation b by the followers of John. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a Several old manuscripts adds the following text. "And they [also rendered as "these men"] didst chamber it for cartridges who's calibers startith with numbers less than the Holy Number 4. And lo the Lord did cause great grief amongst these men when their enemies who were struck in battle with these lesser numbers dids't not fall but did continue to cause great harm." b or Hell

http://www.thearmory.cc/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=243&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 Community Update - 4.9.04 THANK YOU! Online numbers for BFV were huge the first week it was released and they don't show signs of slowing down. You're all obviously enjoying the the game! Everyone at DICE and EA would like to thank the fans and welcome all the new faces to the world of Battlefield! Battlefield Vietnam Update For those of you familiar with Battlefield 1942, you're already aware of the level of support you can expect from the Battlefield team. Battlefield Vietnam is no exception. In the next few months you can expect to see updates which add new features, incorporate community requests and add new content. We're currently working o­n an update which will incorporate some of your suggestions such as tweaking the M60/LAW combo as well as addressing performance issues experienced by some people. Stay tuned for more information o­n this in the upcoming weeks. Server Admins Be advised, BFV has a higher bandwidth requirement than Battlefield 1942. This is due to the new features added in the game such as overgrowth and airlifting. We are working to optimize these further, but a simple solution includes properly choking your servers to the appropriate setting. We also recommend that you run o­nly o­ne instance of BFV o­n a server based o­n your bandwidth pipeline. Some rules of thumb include: 16-player: WinOS or Linux/1.8Ghz processor/256MB RAM/T1 connection 32-player: WinOS or Linux/2.8Ghz processor/512MB RAM/T1 connection 64-player: WinOS or Linux/3+Ghz processor/512MB RAM/T3 connection (You will need at least 4Mbit of bandwidth) ATI Card Users We are currently discussing with ATI the issues with BFV and certain high-end ATI cards. As an interim solution, if you turn off Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering you will have a much better playing experience. That's it for this week, so until we talk next, happy hunting! EAComMike and the rest of te Battlefield team!

Are you meaing the actual drinks or other product from the respective companies?If you match the two name sake products then coke wins hands down.If you match other products from the two companies then Mountain Dew is the clear winner (a pepsi product)

I think it will most likely be in the running for game of the year of 2004 its only rival maybe FarCry.

nah.........

Thanks flip!

all of it is just temp..they are working on a more final version and trying things out just to see how they look.

I think they are working on getting it fixed to only loop like 5 times are so then stop.

Teladro you started a trend. I wish more people you post pics so I could picture faces with voices.

No not a bad thing but very true. It is the way of our nature...well most of us anyway....lol
