What are you talking about. You posted it a couple of weeks ago.

In so far as "hit a button and something happens" then yes. How was Duke any
different ?

1. How can an engine be well themed  ?

2. Unreal's engine was a badly coded pile of shite. Considering what it is
doing, it should be able to run well on a Pentium II 233 with a half descent
graphics setup. You should not need a PII 450 with 128 meg + 12 meg graphics &
3d cards to be able to run it in 800*600 with no slowdown on the hard setting.

If you don't have to worry about the theme in a multiplayer game, then why
should it help to make it more realistic ?

Sorry about having a dig at your post dude, but Unreal really pissed me off.
After 2+ years of developement, it should have been a hell of a lot better.
