What the hell is the point of doing a preload?

NoxNoctum · 02-01-2010, 11:44 PM

When you could just release the password noaw!!!??!?!?!?!

FuzzySquirrel · 02-01-2010, 11:46 PM

So everyone can start playing at once?

Because we really love annoying you...

The point of the preload is so that everyone can jump on together and actually instantly play, rather than waiting for everyone to catch up, its a big download remember.

You've waited this long, a few more days won't mean diddly.

I say we all get together and try and figure out the password beforehand. It can't be much harder than decoding the old coded changelogs the devs used to release before .85 etc. can it??

But... then we have to wait

Ok I'll start. I guess the password is the letter "a".

Naw that's too obvious, you gotta get into the mind of the devs... it'll probably be something random like "Jennifer Aniston's Ass" or something of that nature.

While I've got an open forum with the devs here, let me ask, will the new maps with Hamas be Insurgency or AAS? In other words will Hamas be a Insurgent faction or will it be just ol' fashion AAS?

So that everyone will have it downloaded for release and not tax the mirrors all at once. Once password is released, can immediatly install and everyone play rather than servers sit there waiting as downloads take forever since half the world is downloading the mod at once.
