Hi, I've played UT2k4 a lot, and it's one of the best games i ever played. I was heavily disappointed when I heard there would not be a 2005, but then i heard they were working on the new Unreal Engine and a new game would come out in 2006. I could wait, but then I heard it would be UT2k7. I think this is really strange, cus the game is (hopefully) coming out before 2007. Now i've seen the screenshots, i'm heavily convinced. It will be a very good game i think and I can't wait to play it. If some1 had more information about this game (like more screens, weapons, date of introduction) please tell me.Thanks

I live in Europe and here almost no one has HDTV. All time, they are saying that the grapics of the 360 will be very good, but they are always talking about HDTV. Such a tv is very expensive and i will surely not buy it, but will the grapics of the 360 will be nice without HDTV?? ?f some1 knows more about this, pls reply.Thanks in advance....

I would pick XboX 360, maybe it's because i'm more an XboX fan than a Playstation fan. Maybe because 360 comes out earlier (end of november, as i heard). Maybe because i have an XboX and not a Playstation.... i don't know, but i would choose the 360. I don't know much about the ps3, but i know that the 360 will have a good (free!!) live system, wireless controllers (not always good, but for some reasons they are). Good grapics. HD (think ps3 will have this too).

Is it true there will be 2 boxes? Never knew that, and i read the dutch XBoX Magazine. I know of the different XboX Live sets, but not of different boxes. Some1 knows if this is alsow true for Europe (don't know for sure, if I gonna buy one, but maybe)?. I hope the 'normal' 360 can do all this, cus the other one is really much more expensive...

I know a glitch too. You need two persons. One has a seat in the passenger seat of a warthog with a sword. The other takes a gohst and stand still just next to him. The player with the sword tries to hit the one in the gohst, now the other player goes away in his gohst and a bit further stops. The first player goes out of his warthog and (normally) flies to the second person. It's really funny.Sorry for my bad english, but i'm dutch....

That's not bad work (I couldn't do it ). The only problem is there actually to big to use, cus some people would get big problems then

I don't think that these living beings are as intelligent as we are, so I seriously doubt it if they could fly a UFO and crash it into Area 51. I think it's just an navy-base where they can do tests with new aircrafts, just as the majority.But that's not a bad thing. Every army has secret bases. Even companies have secrets. Willie Wonka's Chocolade Factory, for instance. Yes, I know that is not a real factory. For me it's obvious that Area 51 is a secret armybase, as Aryan confirmed. However, Area 51 is the only one I know. Are there more secret bases in the US? And are they said to be alien atracking places as well?And it makes sense that they're not saying: we are developing a new airplane that can fly five times the speed of sound and will spy on every country we don't like. But why do they reveal it afterwards? Don't they use the planes and is it just about the technology?

while i personally do not believe in the mayan calendar, i do not think pathofneo is 'unreal' in believing it.  do we all have to follow the georgian calendar set up by the Christian West? i do not think so.  if someone believs in the mayan, aztec, or vedic calendar they have every right to do so without westernised purists asking them to get real.

Do we have to follow the Georgian calendar? Of course! But you are reacting like so because it was founded by Christians. But not everybody does follow the Georgian calendar. Jews have their own, Chinese have their own. But there has to be one calendar we all accept. Otherwise everything would be a chaos. A long time ago every village had his own time. In Holland, for instance, it could be 10 o'clock in the Hague and 11.37 in Amsterdam. Today there is a GMT and you can make an appointment with anyone, anywhere, and they'll know when to meet you.

If every country would have their own calendar, how would you make an appointment? If somebody meets you at the eleventh, what day does he mean? Your calendar or his? So it's allright if people have their own calendar, but there must be a global calendar as well. And the normal thing to do is to use the calendar that is used most. So: the Gregorian one. And the calendar of tha Mayans ends in 2012. That is not really accurate. They had two calendars, one was 260 days and the other 360. There are periods when the new years start at the same day. On the 21 of december 2012 a new period of 5,200 and a period of 26,000 years start. The start of the World of the Fifth Sun. "The fifth cycle (Ajaw/sun) will be a fusion of both feminine and masculine energies. It will be a transition where there won't be any more confrontations between the polarities. It will bring balance and there won't be hierarchy of one over the other. Both energies will support each other. It is why this period is called one of harmony, the kingdom of love and the return of consciousness."

So the end of the world is actually the start of a new era, on a higher level. However this transformation will come after a lot of misery. But, looking back on the 1040's, I think we had our misery. So the world will not end, PathofNeo, at all. Are you familiar with the Mayans?

When I heard about this, I felt a bit surprised, a bit delighted. To realise that for thousands of years nobody knew about this planet, and two years ago suddenly people saw it. I wonder how it comes that it wasn't noticed before. But that's probably because I think of the universe and the satellites that float in it are like a car park with surveillance cameras. But it still is strange, that we already discovered hundreds of planets outside our solar system and we missed our own tenth planet. Maybe there are other planets in our solar system.And even though I am delighted, I still find it odd that we explore space, whilst we haven't even discovered all about our own planet. Of course there are different inverstigating people, some interrested in Earth and some interrested in the universe, but it seems not right.Imagine somebody from Equador who comes to the US and starts asking loads of questions about the United Stated. After you answered them you ask things about Equador and he says 'I don't know. I just know where the airport is. And my own village.' Would you think that dude is sane? But that doesn't mean we should quickly forget everything we know of space. It just means that there should be some Earth-form of NASA, investigating the oceans and mountains and so on. My Greenpeace-level has duplicated several times, but why not? What do you think about that?

I doubt that that it is possible for there to be intelligence elseware in the universe.  Consider this- the planet has to be perfect, by that i mean perfect distance from the sun, perfect amount of water, plants, environment.

Wouldn't it be an absurd coinsidence that Earth would be the only planet in the entire universe that had these conditions? Imagine this: we live in a solar system. Already hundreds of solar systems are known. But there have to be hundreds of billions. And each of them have hundreds of billions milky ways and planets. So why would the environment on Earth be the only one where life could start? Between the stars, spontaneous complicated chemical constructions are formed. If such a thing would develop into a duplicator, a form of natural selection automatically occurs. That could develop into something like RNA. And that could form life. So why wouldn't there be a planet where life can be? Most scientists agree on the fact that there are forms of life somewhere. We just have to find it. And why shouldn't that life become intelligent? We did. But, by the time we reach those planets, the life could be still developing and evolving, or the civilisations that once lived there are completely gone. So finding them when they are at intelligent is probably more unlikely than understanding if the actually do or don't exist.

Of course there are various reasons why traffic jams occur. Most of them are mentioned before. But I think getting rid of them is more important.What causes traffic jams is mainly human behaviour. Agressive driving, accidents. There are other reasons as well, but we are the reason in general. So what should get us rid of traffic jams? We should! But that seems to be the problem: when the person in front of you starts driving, you don't start the exact same moment. The delay might just be a couple of seconds, but a hundred cars later people are still standing still. Of course this problem is not solved by just starting to drive. But then, what does solve the problem? Suggestions, anyone? And why are we not social enough to prevent traffic jams from starting?

Sounds really strange. But it doesn't surprise me at all. But when 'bad guys' hack it or something, it could be a bad thing. When will this be in Holland, I wonder?

I think I'd agree with Soleimanian. I once did it, I believe and indeed the programs weren't working at that time. So just try again, it should work, somehow.

Always look on the bright side of life. I don't think the world will be as lifeless as you describe it. I think the future will bring us advanced technologies and things. I think in the future people are healthier and happier and don't have to work as hard as they do nowadays.

Sounds good, but I don't think I'll buy it. I like old phones. But it does sound cool. I'll use it if a friend has it, I think.

In 20 years?  In 20 years, we'll all be dead!  For years I've been sticking with the idea that some catastrophic event will happen in 2012.  For those of you who are not familiar with the Mayans, they had a calendar.  A very, very accurate calendar.  And it ends.  December 2012.  I believe that one of three things will happen in 2012:

 

1) Some major event will take place in early 2012.  Some dictator will anger some monarch.  The president will be assassinated.  Something. And it will spark a major, global conflict.  After several months of fighting, nukes will fly and that will be it.

or

2) Aliens will come and decide they want to build an inter-galactic freeway through our planet and have to demolish earth.  (Couldn't resist)

or

3) God, in whatever form, will come down and the Appocalypse will occur.  AKA.  The Book of Revalations.

 

I'm not saying which I think will be more likely to occur, but you mark my words! 

 

The world will end December 2012!!!

Man, you should start a religious group! So the world will end because you had a Mayan feeling? Well, if this happens, I'll take it all back, but I must say it sounds like crap. Sorry, I'm too optimistic I guess.

Kaputnik, I think you've gone a bit (too) far. Even without our curiosity there would be human beings. Because the main goal of us walking around on this planet, no matter how banal it sounds, is reproducing ourselves. And we're not the only curious species. Monkeys, dolphins and dozens of other creatures are curious as well. And if humans weren't interested in their evironment, we would be here as well, but not as well dressed.

When I was young, I wanted to be a priest. Of course it was obvious that God created the world, allthough I didn't understand how he would have done that. And I found the fact that he rested the seventh day nonsense. What if man would have decided that a week would have eight days, how would that be? Then we'd rest on the 7th, a week later on the 6th and a week later on the 5th day of the week.Anyhow, later I thought the Big Bang was caused by God. I thought the six days in the Bible were actually billions of years. Nice theory.But now, I think the Big Bang was a mysterious bang (a big one) that created everything. And we created God and how he created the world. It makes sense, because when we knew nothing about thunder and lightening, Wodan was the dude that made that happen. So when we didn't understand where Earth came from, we invented a Creator. Actually, dozens of creators. When people found out about lightening and stuff, they stopped believing in Wodan. Let's hope that we find out about the Big Bang soon...

Then we have to find a way to use hydrogen as a gas. Or a more efficient (non-poluting) way to make hydrogen liquid. It may be more expensive and polluting, but in the future coal is gone, and hydrogen is not, I presume...

I think that's a good law. In Holland you may use your hands-free set, but most people use the more hands-on approach. I think making the use of a cellphone in a car illegal (when you're the driver) should be the law over here. But I guess first some people have to die, unfortunately, before some minister in the post-Balkenende government changes this law.

Maybe there was a city called Atlantis, and it may be gone, but I don't think it was as told in the story. I don't think they're going to find anything.

I didn't say greenhouse gasses destroy the ozon layer. I said that the proces you described is calles greenhouse effect.So I guess you have gone a bit astray as well...

I don't think they do.. I think there are UFOs, but man made them. There's so many secret government things going on.. I'm kinda naiive about that department, but I really don't think they exist. I believe in the Bible, and there's really no evidence that God created aliens. The human mind is able to generate thoughts like that and I think that's what they are.

When an Unidentified Flying Object is made by man, it's kind of an IFO. And why did you start the about Bible? There's no evidence in the Bible that Earth spins around the sun, either. Again: the Bible was written by people, not by God (oh my god, so if something doesn't exist it can't write?). We find the religions of the ancient Romans and Greeks nonsense. And (I hope) in a couple of years people find the Bible nonsense. When science proves that God doesn't exist, for instance.

I think the problem is that people seem to think that they have to be reachable at any time. In the past, when there were no cell phones, people couldn't reach you unless you were at home. Tough for them. Nowadays cell phones ring everywhere. I put mine out when I go to sleep. And when I'm having diner. I put it on on the moment that I want people to be able to reach me. And I presume driving is not such a moment, for me.

Robots are not humans. Just as elephants are not kittens.But I cannot agree with yungblood and Padsgoo.yungblood first:Jehova is a absurd reason why robots wouldn't take over earth. The only reason why robots wouldn't is because we didn't give them the ability to think for themselves (or because they don't want to ).Padsgoo:In fact humans áre animals. So you are saying robots are humans.And the Matrix is no Bible, robots cannot form the next step in evolution. Because evolution is about species who adapt to their environment and stuff. A robot didn't realy evolve in the past million years, did it? It was built, that's different. (and don't say humans are built by JehoAllGoVishnu, let's think from Darwins point of view)
