I normally get around 500 KB/s. It really depends on the server you are downloading from. If you download from a fast server that has a fast connection, you will get a better speed. If you were to try to connect to a junky server that has dialup, you will get a slow speed. The amount of traffic on the site can change speeds too. Sometimes I can get up to 1.5 MB/s from some servers. I have Comcast Highspeed BTW.

Now I need to learn French...

I remember that not too long ago you said that you would never see Fahrenheit 9/11. It is best to hear both sides of any arguement/conflict before making a decision. By only listening to one side you will only get half of the story, and only half of the facts. I doubt that I will agree with much of what the movie you posted has to say, but I may watch it anyway; just to see what it is all about.

There is this too: U.S. Report Finds No Evidence of Iraq WMD

Battlefront is great on PS2. Multiplayer is fun too. They could have worked a bit more on the squad commands, it is hard to get my troops to do what I want them to do. The best command system for this I have ever seen was in Freedom Fighters. This game is still good.

I don't think that Bush did well at all. He would get very nervous while Kerry was speaking, and he has almost no public speaking skills. He would even at times begin to talk less than a second after Kerry finished speaking, sometimes even before. He appeared very anxious and nervous. Also all of his arguments were mostly aimed at reminding people that Kerry changed his mind on the war in Iraq and other important issues. It is alright to change your mind on an issue if your old choice was wrong. Stubbornness will get you nowhere. Bush's speaches were mostly about opinion and did not have many supporting facts. Kerry had all of the facts, and quotes from important people in politics and the world. Kerry was also very calm and clear about what he was trying to say. I feel that Kerry did much better in this debate than Bush. Bush did not appear to have any idea what he was talking about, but Kerry appeared to have the new ideas that this country needs to win this war.

Wow, that was a LONG time ago....

I really hope that KB will also be for PC. I read at the bottom of that press release that it is likely that a PC release will follow the XBOX release. When i read that it was an XBOX game i was about to go jump off a cliff. But i just realized that it may be easier to just buy an XBOX....

Penny Arcade has a good idea of what may happen.

I think the book I was talking about is called "First Meetings". I cant really find much information about it anywhere though...

This could be one of the best movies ever... I have read every Enders Game book that was ever made (except maybe for this other one, I think it was called First Encounters or something like that, can't find it in the library tho ) I really hope that they do this well, it should be a great movie.

Ok, thats cool, just wondering why. I guess it does add some more realism. But why dont the ships hyperjump closer to the jump gates? This makes the trip take alot longer.

One thing I have noticed in UC that was different in BCM is that ships move alot slower. In BCM you could go 90 km(or whatever the distance measure is) in a much shorter amount of time than in UC. This gets very annoying when I go to a station and when my hyperdrive is done it gets me about 70km away from the station. This was ok in BCM, but in UC it takes about 2 minutes to get to the station, even longer if the autopilot is flying. I was wondering why this was changed for UC. It took the autopilot 4 minutes to get to the warp gate after it hyperdrived there. This gets even worse when I want to set up some mining drones on a planet when I start a new roam game, they have to fly over 800km to the planet. This takes about 10-15 minutes. And because it is not over 1000, they cant hyperdrive there. I would really like to know why this was changed, I thought it was fine the way it was before.

Most games I play dont have invincible enemies on the first level.... But I guess this game isn't really like any other game I play..... Strange, but ok. I guess I have to run .

Once I find out how I will put my system specs. quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: quote:Originally posted by TheBunny: There must be a problem or bug that is causing this! Rubbish Wow! My first "Rubbish" in about 3 months!

Why would I want silver when I am so close to getting gold? I want to play this game! But the game doesn't want to be played! I really want to destroy EVERYTHING!!!!!! But i cant destroy ANYTHING!!!!! There must be a problem or bug that is causing this!

NO this is NOT a joke! Give me a link to a good screen capture video program, ill record the whole thing! I can destroy NOTHING! I already reinstalled! I'm so confused..... I think ill just take a vacation in game while i wait.... Maybe to Jupiter, ill just land there.... And i dont know who set my avatar, i think i tried to change mine to an animated one before, but i guess they arent allowed and a moderator changed it to this.....

No, the ships are impossible to kill, they are invincible. I blasted the enemy with my main guns at a range of 0! No effect on hull. I launched EVERY MISSILE I HAD, EVERY ONE OF THEM HIT, not even a scratch. They are impossible to kill, MY ALLIES AND I shot that ship with all our PTA turrets, main guns, and missiles. NOTHING got through. NOTHING! What is going on? [ 02-09-2004, 10:08 PM: Message edited by: TheBunny ]

Ahhhh those bunny scripts were fun Stormcarriers everywhere.... Ahhh so fun...... I haven't seen any discussions about laser effectiveness and stuff..... (i've been gone a long time) But even with that I still rammed my ship into that other one, there is NO WAY they didn't get damaged... I need to try again i guess... And about MP, i still havent figured out how to get MP to work yet... Man im a n00b.... [ 02-09-2004, 09:55 PM: Message edited by: TheBunny ]

I finally destroyed something, just not in the normal way I started another campaign and i got into the giant fight again. I was shooting at this ship and its shields were gone, but i still couldent kill it, its hull would NOT move down. So i decided to ram into it. And my ship was IMPALED by this other ship. I finally turned off my engines when i found i coulden't get free, and the ship was dragging me around with it! After my shields were gone i was taking heavy damage, and the other ship took none!!! So I got out of my ship into my space suit, and i shot a missile at it. The ship blew up!!!!! I couldent kill it with my main guns, but missiles work fine. What is wrong?

I would really like to know what is going on... I must be so bad that the game refuses to let me get any kills. I just reinstalled last night and I will try playing now and see if i can destroy anything now. The game looks great except for 3 problems I had(Menus get a bit messed up in high resoloution, and the screen that pops up when the peogram is being started still says "Battlecruiser Generations" even though this is Universal Combat now.) I'm not even going to say what the 3rd problem I had is, because you people would never stop laughing at me. The game looks great though, I like flying really low and watching all of the birds and animals and stuff. It looks very nice! The only problem is I can't destroy anything that I see [ 02-09-2004, 04:32 PM: Message edited by: TheBunny ]

ok, ill try

I just got UC today and I decided that i might try the campaign. I started it up and I soon found myself in a giant battle with a bunch of other ships. After a few minutes of battle i soon found out that NONE of the other ships could be killed, while my ship was taking damage. I could get rid of their shields but their hull would not get damaged AT ALL. I thought that it might have been some odd thing added to make that level harder so i started an instant action game. I was able to damage the C&C place on a planet a little bit with my ATS missiles, but i never killed it before I landed and got lost and killed myself. So then i started a Roam as a gammulan , and i flew my CC down to a planet to destroy some raiders. After i finished shooting my main guns at a building in a city for 30 seconds i decided that they must not be destroyable and moved on to a base. I went to command&control place again, and blasted it with my main guns alot, and its armor/hull would not move at all. It looks like everything in the game can not be killed. Everything has infinite health or something because NOTHING got damaged. Im guessing that the ships in the first campaign mission aren't supposed to be invincible to annoy me, and i really hope that all the other buildings in the game aren't meant to be the same way. Could someone please tell me what is going on here? I really want to play this game, but it is very boring when I am the only person in the universe that can get damaged.
