I still don't get it. The figures clearly show what you stated. Or is that only because I don't find mathematics a strange alien concept about which I am proud that I completely fail to understand?

Windows. XP/2000 then perhaps 7, 95, 98.

I happen to agree with you. The UI codenamed "Australis" included in 29 is god awful. Completely non-native looks and controls on Windows.

Battelfield 2 was (and still is) good. It was a nice improvement over Battlefield Vietnam which made it on par with Battlefield 1942 in terms of gameplay. It took many of the gameplay features(?) introduced in BFV and put them into better game.

The one thing I never liked about it was the lack of ammo crates and first-aid cabinets on maps. You had to get team mates to come heal you. It also added the commander role which was good if an experienced player took the role and had a good team calling for support. I never liked playing as it. I would always use one of its tools too late.

Whether it can still be played easily after EA said they wouldn't keep supporting it after the GameSpy shutdown is somewhat worrying.

Oh fuck off!

I want to know whether I can play it without being forced to sign up for an account or tie to some account I am uninterested in having.

Will this game be riddled with steam DRM just as Civ5 was?

So well said in fact I allowed some javascript just so I could up-vote the story.

Indeed. If this is just another store selling steam keys, don't bother creating it in the first place.

Ah it seems I can't even find this comment without enabling javascript. Nor can I post a new one without it.

Yes, I did try before logging in.

I see lots of tags but I believe they are rendered completely ineffectual thanks to NoScript.

Only because devs expect to be abe to use it. Interactive websites worked before the lastest fad for JS, and they still do! As for one that works without: you are on one!

So if it is no longer safe, does this just prove that Linux is just as bad as Windows when it comes to installing software from a random website?

Face recognition is already widespread. With the cameras at eye level it makes it much easier to match faces against a good quality reference. I find it easy to believe that someone will be able to monetise data on where I have been spotted.

Display: fine. You can look at whatever you want while facing me.

Sensor: creepy. I don't want you sending anything I do to advertisers.

It will come to x86 before long!
