RE: Complaints about 103
I started with Photoshop 2.0 and Mac system 5; PowerPoint 2.0 and Illustrator 88 (1988), just to name a few. PC's were still in DOS, so I won't even go there. Most of those old verisons have advanced by at least 5 major releases over the past 20 years, and dozens of minor ones. Not all the advances were well received, like the jump from Word 4.0 to 5.0.
Version 1 of anything is going to be a work in progress. The great thing is that the Matrix team doesn't seem to mind the criticism. In fact they apparently welcome it. As long as they keep listening to suggestions I'm convinced the game will continue to improve, maybe 2 steps forward and 1 back, but it won't stagnate. So they missed on the visibility thing, but everyone I've played loves the hidden AT units. Tell 'em what you hate, but tell 'em what you love.
I understand completely, though, that many players would rather not be beta testers and to them I'd suggest going away for awhile (or playing the Talonsoft versions - I do) and coming back in a year to try it again.
Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly
