There is a section:

http://subsim.com/phpBB/viewforum.ph...a0bb5b9551104e

same area as the other silent hunter games.

As for expectiations, mine were low and I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, there are various things in it I don't agree with but thats just me. Bug wise it was a hell of a lot better than most games, I don't recall any real showstoppers and most of the faults there were were annoying rather than serious. I don't have the patience to wait a year for games I want to play. I like to be in there on the ground floor, so to speak. Also, it was cool to see some of the ideas of the modders, such as the navigation tools, picked up by by the devs as the patching process continued.

The thing is, almost every game I can think off is in the same boat with respect to patches and extra content. The difference is that this one is from a sub genre that is not usually subject to the same level of marketing and media attention. I may not be entirely 100% with the final product but i'm delighted that the devs and publisher decided to take a risk on a game that could have been another niche curiosity. I believe firmly that the high initial sales, and those over the first six months decided the issue of creating another title, far more than good reviews did. You see, it is your duty to keep them making the game by buying it the day it comes out -if not earlier! :P

Anyway, welcome to the forum. Walk softly around here and carry a big stick.
