SECURITY"" Imbecile, as I have said, the posting is not aimed to individuals like you, it is aimed to individuals considering buying EA games that what to be able to make an informed decision. When you will be able to prove my bitching wrong and unfounded, then I will stop the postings, but you cannot do so, cretin, thus, shut the fuck up. Cretin, address the issues raised with respect to the game's performance are they wrong and unfounded? Be prepared to backup your statements. Tell us imbecile, is the game not freezing from time to time? Tell us imbecile, is the online performance of the game satisfactory when Electronic Arts has made the point in acknowledging that "Online experience may change" and to translate it for you imbecile, means "Online performance of the game is crap". Tell us imbecile, through how many splash screens you have to go in order to play the game? Tell us imbecile, upon exiting the game, does it leave crap in the memory or not? Tell us imbecile, how GameSpy borders on individual's privacy? As I have said, address the issues or shut the fuck up. > > You are nothing, and nothing gives you the right to drag names through the > mud. Look at Microsoft, look at Symantec.

I have earned the right to bitch and complain about the Generals and Zero Hour the very moment I have received the receipt for the purchase of the shittiest game ever put on the market - C&C Generals and C&C Generals:Zero Hour. The fact that Electronic Arts put a shit product on the market, and hope to get away with it, that is another matter, EA has ignored all customer's complaints, ignored the feedback that it received by e-mail and the rest, EA has made a choice, and apparently it was the wrong one, and I will not let them get away with it. Now as far as I am concerned with respect to go working for EA, first and foremost Electronic Arts will have to stop making chief designers and chief programmers out of dickheads and imbeciles, then I will consider it. > > > -- > The J. > > I like stuff, do you like stuff? > ,,|,, (^_^) ,,|,, > > > PS: To the true WW and C&C fans out there: I hear ya, and I'm in with you > all. > > Remove SUXORZ to email. > "satan" <vally1234@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:139ab587.0312291912.608b9ae0@posting.google.com... > > "Dr.Seuss" <dr.seuss@thecatinthehat99.freeserve.co.uk> wrote in message > news:<bspvlv$g2l$1@news5.svr.pol.co.uk>... > > > I've been playing C&C since the very first game years back (what is it, > ten > > > years now?) and have bought every game almost on the first day of > release > > > since then, every single game and expansion disk.
