The sad fact of the matter is: Universal Combat: AWA is more shit then
anything Derek has released yet. Maybe even more shit then the
original BC3K.

First off, when I bought UC:AWA, I was sent a CD that didn't even
read! Obviously mass burned on cheap CDs.

Next, I recieved my second CD (without problems I add here), a then we
get into the whole "activation" bullshit. Only 2 activations per key!

Sure, this MIGHT be industry standard, but with almost ALL BC games,
uninstalling and reinstalling is fact of life.

Yes, Derek will give you new keys if you ask. Still, it's a major
hassle.

UC:AWA is still very disappointing. The game isn't even stable. It
crashes more then the original UC ever did.

The graphics are STILL blocky and clipped. Hell, the entire UC series
is really nothing but a BCM graphics overhaul, but it doesn't work on
my kit. Sure, I might be running a 2.4ghz Celeron POS processor, but
it SHOULD run UC:AWA.

Framerates for UC:AWA are pathetic. 

Planetary Ops are still fucked all to hell, and I'm not even going to
go into all the other things that piss me off...I could be here for
days!

Yeah..I'm a BC gamer..will always be a BC gamer...but I sure wish
Derek would release BC open-source...or at least make it moddable!

The answer is self-evident. =P
