I've already started designing a new map which I won't say anything about, other than it's completely different (in...

Only played the game a little and enjoying it so far. From playing with the commentary option, it does look like they've invested in some updated technology that will make future episodic content easier to develop, so I would expect Ep2 to be heavier on content. - good fun so far, although I've only...

Definitely a relational DB needed. I must confess I have to never heard of "filemaker" - it may be good but if in doubt then go with Access. It's "plug-inable" to many things, has pretty much universal ODBC support ...and at the end of the day we're all Uncle Bill's bitches. (in ...

The only obvious problem that I wasn't expecting was a heavy bias towards on-rushing Ts (the...
