First of all you three imbecils will have to disclose your association
with Electronic Arts and GameSpy network if you want your comments to
have any credibility at all.

Now, let Electronic Arts put another faulty product on the market,
because in Australia we have something called ACCC (Australian
Competition and Consumer Commision), because we can deal with
Electronic Arts in this way, it goes under faulty and unsatisfactory
products.

My understanding is that Electronic Arts is already in the ACCC's
sights, this is what I was told.

What are you three saying, that you did not have problems with
Generals and Zero Hour? Then this is an outright LIE, just look at the
number of patches released by Electronic Arts.
What are you saying that the game never slowed to less than a frame
per second, because if you do, then this is another LIE.

Are you saying that after you quit the game does not leave "garbage"
in the memory, because if you do, then this is another LIE.

Are you saying that the user interface is not crap, because if you do,
then is another LIE.

Are you by any chanced suggesting that there are no problems with the
online game performance when Electronic Arts has acknowledged the fact
that due to poor development practices they did not take into account
the internet infrastructure, then again you three are telling LIES.

Electronic Arts has added the "quickstart" option at the executable
due to the fact that individuals complained about it.

There will be idiots that will buy the crap no matter what, but by far
the majority of individuals will display more common sense and
consider the recent performance of the products put on the market by
Electronic Arts and make an informed decision.

As I have said, try before you buy, if does not have the online
capability in the trial version, dropped like a hot potato, because
the online version of the game is crap.
As I have said, if anywhere on the package is mentioned the word
GameSpy, again dropped like a hot potato, because the online
capabilities of the game are crap.

If you have to go throught more than two screens to play any feature
of the game again, dropped like a hot potato, because they are using
flashy splash screens to cover up for the poor performance of the
product.
