I'm getting sick of getting run over all the time.

Eeeeeeexxxactly. That, or constantly getting wasted by some dude who does nothing but jump in the Hind/Apache/MiG/whatever, and is basically untouchable because the AA weapons stink. No fun.

Good afternoon.

That's why I stopped playing on line. The drawback to playing single player is that it takes me, on average, around twenty hours to learn a game and most games lose their interest for me when I know how to win.

I would bet that the AI will be learning and adapting before long.

I started playing seriously a couple of years ago as therapy after I had a stroke. Having to manipulate the keyboard and keep track of the gameplay helped me regain the use of my left side and seemed to smooth out my thinking.

The VA shrink thinks I'm crazy to be hunting virtual Nazis, mutant monkeys and communists but it seems to mellow me out. If I stop playing for a few days, I begin to have nightmares. I start up playing and my dreams become pleasant again.

My 9 year old grandson is a quick and deadly shot against virtual monsters but he doesn't like killing virtual humans.
