Because it doesn't sell a bazillion copies.

Happy birthday to the misses Herr B.

I can understand from a Major Publisher, but what's the excuse from companies that make Simulators, or Indie Developers.

Budget, probably. Needs rather complex AI, which takes an awfull amount of time and effort... think that's the main issue.

If they could pull it off on 400 MHZ processors, and the budgets that were popular back then, I don't see how an Indie Developer or Simulation company(who usually have high budgets anyways, and high costing games) couldn't produce one.

I'm not talking about end-user resources. Programming AI is difficult.

But yeah, there's some companies that could do it, but just don't for some reason.

Found mine buried on a hard drive last night, must've played it a bit as there are a load of mods from ghostrecon.net on it. So anyway, I loaded it up and activated the WWII total mod 'War of Infamy', the weapons and uniforms are reasonably WWII-ish but the surroundings were modern buildings and vehicles.

Lots of other mods to try from that site.

I can see a whole load being downloaded this afternoon.

Just heard about this concerning GR, don't know what to think about it, haven't seen what it looks like yet.

I still have all those discs somewhere in the basement.

I'd love to join -- haven't played that game in quite awhile.

The only problem I would have is bridging a connection over to the Linux box.
