The game will feature a "sandbox" mode, where you will be able to basically start with a stuffload of money, give yourself more money, disable disasters/etc. and everything to make it more relaxed for yourself. The downside: You will not be able to participate in leaderboard challenges, affect the global market (still can buy/trade/etc. but just will not impact global prices I think), and you will not earn achievements. It is multiplayer capable so you and your friends can enjoy sandbox mode together.

It's still obviously kept online though.

My guess: another DLC for more american buildings, another one for being able to drive vehicles (again), another one to fix a stuffload of vital bugs, and about 5 expansion packs which only contain filters.
I don't even want to pay more than $30 for it. It's a great game, it's greatly designed, but knowing EA I do not want to have to even deal with the in-game advertisement bullstuff too.

« on: January 28, 2013, 09:04:35 PM »TF2 can't handle DX11 though... it goes up to DX 9 Only.At this point it would be just compatibility. Which I'm not sure how that works. DX10 only added some framework + prettier shading, while DX11 added tessellation, a resource-hungry option that requires DX11 GPUs. I think they're not going to really add it because it's not needed, forward versions are backwards compatible.
Unless their is a way to get Direct X11 on TF2, heck I'd be happy with at least Direct X10 being added to tf2.

Off Topic / Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 - Awkward Internet problem
« on: January 28, 2013, 05:07:37 PM »So I was browsing Facebook in bed the other day and I came across some research pic that some forgettard posted in response to some dumb status. I opened it, sighed and closed the tab. Now this wouldn't be a problem if the pic didn't start appearing EVERY loving TIME I OPEN THE BROWSER.I've literally never had this problem, and I'm running 4.0.3 on a Galaxy S2 (SGH-i777).
It's as if it's become my new homepage, but I've checked in the settings and it isn't. If I close the tab and get back to the browser a while later, that loving pic will be there. I've cleared out my history, cookies etc. but to no avail.
I don't have a problem with the image itself, but if this stuff doesn't stop now something terrible will happen eventually.
Press the back arrow key repeatedly next time it appears. Otherwise, you really need to recheck all settings and make sure everything all over again.

« on: January 27, 2013, 08:40:43 PM »Blood Angels: fast attack, units going insane at game start, fast rhinos, deepstriking land raidersSo basically nothing I should really consider investing in except maybe BA.
Dark Angels: lods of plasma, terminators as troops
Black Templars: scouts and marines in the same unit, generally swarmier but not really
Space Wolves: wolf claw wolf the wolf wolf long fang spam
none of them deserve their own codex

Can anyone, in short, explain the main differences between Blood Angels, Dark Angels and Black Templars as opposed to just regular Space Marines? I know that BA have blood rage/etc. and landraiders from the sky.

Ok I'm very much tossing and turning mentally over the "online only" because
http://gyazo.com/ad5ce65c2f6ca42e6d30e41d6afc8618.png
Like this stuff is going to happen and I'm not going to really enjoy it. The difference between SimCity servers and Planetside 2 servers going down is that the entire basis of PS2 is multiplayer, there is no singleplayer capable content in PS2 (like what are you going to run around the whole continent alone?). Simcity has such a capability for singleplayer, it's not even funny. Considering the entire franchise was singleplayer til now, it's very hard to understand that there isn't an offline portion (i.e. my idea earlier in the thread).
As fun as this game is, it's such a problem to me. I really don't mind the always-online, I really don't, but knowing the server owning companies, they're never going to put their full capability towards actually providing for the users 100%.
