In MW, it wants to recenter >the turret as soon as I let go the joystick - I sure dont' at all care Heh, yeah, we've been complaining about this over in rec.games.mecha for a bit now. It looks like Activision may have heard our complaints and may be working a patch to make the centering optional. Although masc@phoenixx.com (B Masc) indicated that he'd received a letter from Tim Morten that they were going to do the patch, the email I received >from Tim only said they were "actively looking at making it optional" - not much of a commitment. So you may want to also send a note to Tim (tmorten@activision.com) to show as much support as possible for a patch. >I will try dropping back to 640x480 mode to see if that improves things - >but, to me, the turret should stay where its at, until I turn the thing >back.. The lower resolutions give you smoother control, so the targetting does improve to some degree. >The graphics look great...(if I can only play it now...) Yeah... ______________________________________________________________________________ Will Day OIT, Georgia Tech, Atlanta 30332-0715 willday@rom.oit.gatech.edu http://rom.oit.gatech.edu/~willday/ =-> Opinions expressed are mine alone and do not reflect OIT policy <-= Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
