Once again you expect the impossible.  There be always whiners in this
world I guess.  What would happen if the full game with 90% speech was
over 100 megs  (probably an optimistic  view,  since WC2  has so  much
dialogue between missions)?  People would  start whining that the game
takes   up too much   space! (as  they  did  with  Strike Commander, I
believe) People are NEVER satisfied.
