For some strange reason... I've found this post obscenely funny.... Might be a reflection on EA's quality control.....Naughty_Om wrote:

Transcript of EA Quality Control meeting
Executive 1: So we finally got the latest BF2 beta from DICE, does it run acceptably?
Executive 2: Well, it starts up okay, but you see, with the Radeon 9000 series it crashes to desktop.
Exec 1: Okay, no problem. Just bury a notice about that conflict in the readme. You know, since everyone reads those. And they can do that without first opening the package, which of course means they'll still be able to return it at the store.
Exec 2: Fair enough. What about the problem with OSes before XP, where the program refuses to launch at all?
Exec 1: Uh...just put it on the system requirements label. People should really read that thing before they feel compelled to buy something just because of our double-page ads in PC Gamer. Plus, just because every other FPS on the market runs in Win2K and ME doesn't mean ours should by default!
Exec 2: Sure, I'll make a note of that. Let's see...beta testers say that sometimes the sprint bar doesn't work, teammates' names appear blue, anti-tank missiles go clear through vehicles, mounted machine guns can't be repaired by engineers, and Medic and ammo bags sometimes fall through floors. In addition--
Exec 1: For fuck's sake, man, how long have you been working at EA? See if the community cares. If they do, then we do something.
Exec 2: Patch the problems?
Exec 1: Close. We promise to patch the problems. Programmers take salaries, promises are free.
Exec 2: Wouldn't that cause conflicts? Like making older video cards incompatible, introducing fatal memory leaks, and unbalancing the game, for instance?
Exec 1: Hey look, isn't that Sarah Michelle Gellar?
Exec 2: Where? I don't--
*THUMP*
Exec 1: *whistles, then approves the BF2 beta*

I remember loving the game F/A 18 Interceptor for Amiga 500.. Cruising the skies over San Fransisco.. Dogfighting MIG:s, flying under the Golden Gate bridge, doing daring stunts relying 100% on my TAC-2 joystick.. Ah, the nostalgia..

Id love to have that hud!
In Chaos you actually had different classes to pick from. The explosives guy would throw sticks of dynamite and you had a bazooka guy. You could make some good combos.....HeavyMetalDave wrote:
Both of those games are in the closet behind me, Natas888 and I played them alot. That was back in like 93 or 94. General choas was a two player war game, and u each had 2 guys, you could pick from different kits.
Mutant league was madden with monsters, I loved that game coz the 49ers were the sixty whiners and really really weak.
Nice post/good memories
Yeah they would decay to bones and lay there a while until a team won. There were 5 total classes I think.HeavyMetalDave wrote:
There was a medic too I think, and you had to hide behind trees and buildings. That game was the original battlefield. Plus when your guy died didnt he slowly decay away?
I might have to hook up my genesis.
