Same is true in star wars apart from ligthsaber duels enemies (storm troppers) go down in 1 blaster shot. Yet in kotor or old republic MMO or any star war game it takes multiple shots to bring any down and the Smuggler PC class can go ahead to ahead against a jedi or a sith (you think Han solo can take on a jedi?)... They need to bend rules a bit for sake of balance and game play its true with any franchise not just Star trek.
Cryptic was actually glad they got sued since they used as an excuse to implement a naming policy. I remember playing it when it came out and dozens of half nude Claw/regen scrappers in Atlas park that were named Wolverine2000, Ultimate Wolverine etc, they were an eye sore. Thank god they reset all of them to genericxxx and forced them to rename it to something else.
I remember when i was in a robotic competition our coach/teacher used to ask us to write down our mother's phone number if in case we went MIA in disney world, may be these open source projects should do the same.
lets say you want to research Bulls-Pistons series in 1988 and you decide to use a squared which effectively parses and gets the data you want from Basketball-reference or one of those. Those sites will not get any page hits...
Considering IT work is more or less outsourced to Bangalore even among Pentagon contractors, i doubt companies like Wipro, TCS do much in terms of keeping their client's work secret.
Crytpic announced they are working on Star trek MMO, originally it was being developed by Perpetual which went bankrupt. They released some screen shots couple months ago.
KZ2 is excellant just like GoW or Halo but that said i does not have much replay value once you play thru it first time you are done (MP is not anything new there).
IMO Action FPS will give way to Action/RPG games like Fallout 3, Bio shock, this where devs can clearly show their talent in developing a storyline/character and giving open sandbox environment for players to play with.
To date no MMO has designed a world that is as large or vivid as what Blizzard has done. Most MMOs utilize zoning while moving from one zone to another where as WoW incorporates seamless transition not to mention the amount of quests, npcs, instances is truly remarkable.
I hope Blizzard will work in true successor to WoW or something new rather than more xpacs.
WAR had a good start but its shine has worn off Due to faction imbalance
Races/Classes do not look that good compared to Destruction counterparts this was major mistake. Mythic believed that people will mostly choose the Good guys rather than going for coolness factor like you saw in WoW but forgot that reason why most people choose Alliance pre BC was because it was the pretty race:p not because they were the good guys.
-As a result RvR is pretty broke in servers like Ironfist, Dest. zerg pretty much takes most keep easily as a result none of Order players even bother defending or taking Keeps during active server time. And simply cap everything at 4 am to 10 am. So much for RvR...
The game lacks in PvE content.
-Most people just queue up for scens over and over again rather than do any PQ or even RvR to level.
-Crafting is non exsistant.
-Aldorf and Inevitable city are a dead zone as a result there is very little social aspect to that game. Heck it took them 2 months just to fix the chat even though i noted that issue in beta (Too many chat channels within even one region).

IMO C&C RA3, SupCom all were disappointing none of them had the storyline that SC had which is why the game is so remembered.
