SghnDubh, load up EAW. OP is still broken lol.
Get on the SFC2.net 7.35 SQL server and check it out. (small download of a shiplist from AOTK)
What still cripes me is how poorly the D3 was put together, after all that was done here in the last 2 years with EAW and OP., and what was requested by the fans and many admins over time and the many fixes that were done, most of this was not even considered for the D3. Whether in its haste to get the product out in time for Activision or not, these things, like the option for destroyable bases or not should have been included in the basic D3 server kit. Unfortunately, with the one and only patch being released today for SFC3, we shall never know what a true campaign might have been on the D3. It will be up to the admins there to try to work with what they have and try to come up with interesting campaigns. I also dont see Activision supporting the access servers for the game, due to poor sales and such, much longer than the end of the year, if that, considering the current situation between Taldren and Activision. The same thing happen with Interplay, and Taldren took up the slack and spent their own money, setting up their own directory of servers. With the bad taste Taldren has now for the SFC series in general, and the money they already have tied up with SFC3, I doubt they would want to do this again with the D3.
It looks like the D2, because of the fans and community, will still be the place to play, for the best war-gaming campaigns.
I hope I am wrong. I hope we have the ability to play EAW, OP and TNG for along time. But I just dont see it in the stars.
