Who will be getting SHIV?
 

Who here will be geting SHIV? I know I will

What a silly question. Of course I will. I know that I will love SH3 more just cause of U-boats.

I've been waiting forever to have a modern WWII USN Subsim. Haven't played the old SH from the old days much since SHIII with the GW mod is so nice with visuals, and gameplay. But I think SHIV will be a nice suprise.

When SH4 comes out, ill 7zip all my mods, burn them on a CD, uninstall SH3, stick the DVD back in its case, place it on a shelf with the rest of the shelf fodder, and essentually drop it like a lead brick, and i doubt ill ever look back at SH3 ever again. The only way id go back is if some major patch or expansion pack was released that fixed some of my biggest mood breaking pet peeves. (IE, radar improperly mounted on the front of the Conning tower, and inoperable fuel gauge on the IX uboat )

What is SHIV? *cough* *snicker*

Maybe you should have asked if anyone wasn't getting SHIV...:up:

The question is, who will be getting it first?

I'll get it.

And I'm sure that within five minutes of playing it I'll curse some of its nuances/omissions/bugs...

Then I'm sure that I'll just "tweak this one little file to correct this inaccuracy"...

Then I'm sure that I'll get caught up with a group of other SHIV "explorers" that want to collectively fix the bigger problems and "make the game better"...

Then I'm sure that I'll cry when the first official patch is released requiring all the aforementioned fixes to be redone for the new file structure (think about it ;))...

Then I'm sure that there'll be a clash of ideologies between a number of us SHIV modders seeing the creation of a new "Cold War"...

Then I'm sure that I will vow never again to get caught up with all the crap that goes with modding a game...

Then I'm sure I'll be back again when SHV comes out...

I think he just said there's gonna be an SH4 Commander.:up:

Does the pope wear a funny hat:yep:

That is such a sanitized version.:down:

When you're gonna offend a religious sect you better earn your place in hell.

I thinks itsa prison knife.:lol:

SHIV is a must-have.

Agreed! :up:

With GWX i will play both games. SH3 Normal, and SHIV when SH3 bores me (Or crashed again :lol:).

I will be getting it. My grandfather was a WW2 vet. He was on the carrier Enterprise durring the whole war. I have a strong historical knowledge of the pacific theater as far as the Navy goes.

Since I have more than enough hard drive space (4x250 gig Sata drives) I will keep my SH3 loaded with GW or in a month or so GWX and play them both. Once the new wears off the SHIV, if it does, I will go back and play SH3GW. Just depends on how many MP servers I can play on with others I know. It will also depend on how many MP mission there will be. From what I have been reading, there is to be a controlable destroyer, so that will be fun. Matching up online sub vs destroyer.

I like patrols and such, but I do those on nights the wife is working at the hospital on the weekend. That is usually one weekend every 6 weeks though. I like quick patrols online with others I know from here. More fun that way. Plus, with the use of my Ventrilo server it realy adds more to game play when you can talk with the guys you are playing with and get to know them better.
