No, not getting you wrong. Just my own take on the overreaction to everything. Seriously, we've seen several screen shots of the binocular view. And one screen shot posted by Neal, with two mouse pointers. And yet, people start going crazy over it.

(don't want to offend those that are tired of hearing about it! )
For all its faults maybe Ubisoft would have this product out the door before I'm dead. SoW is Russian for "Duke Nukem Forever".

Yeah, the map has a minimize button, expand button and a border.



Edit there is a cursor in the binocular image and in the bridge image.

It’s just not real the game is made for 10 year olds to buy when they are on
A shopping trip with their dads not serious simulator people like us
All in all the game is CRAP


So, if you are wrong, what does that mean about your judgment?

Smart man, good point.

Well, I agree, it doesn't contribute to the realism factor.

To say the whole game is cr*p, is a bit harsh, don't you think?
We have only seen some previews here.
Well said.

You are correct, thanks, Angus, Fincuan.

I was illustrating the ability to distinguish contacts that are very far away, and to do it before the AI crew, like I described in the words that preceed the images. How could someone misconstrue that?

'Specially when there is a binocs screenshot in the screens at the end of the preview

Exactly. Ho-lee cow, people, if Ubi reads this thread, they may feel they need to dumb down the game for us.

You haven't played it, either, so you don't know if the game is worth playing or crap, either. Therefore, according to your logic, your own opinion supporting the game without any basis in playable reality, or evidentiary value, is just as vacuous.

Yeah. It works both ways.

Did I miss something? I don't see where ryanglavin claims it isn't crap, or that it's good. I only see him taking king111 to task for claiming it is crap.

You may all want to stick your heads in the sand
And pay out your $49
For a half done game with DRM
Everyone waited 2 years for PT boats and it was nothing more
Then $20 arcade game SH5 has been made for the casual gamer
The 12 year old that likes the picture on the box
Ubisoft have said so themselves and they have left it open for the mods
To change it?
It’s like buying a car you have got to fix before you can drive it
The game will be one big flop in other words crap
I have been over to the UB forum all there is there
Are 100s of people saying no sale they will not buy it I thought
There were a lot here that were not going to buy it but over at
The UB forums it looks like no one’s going to be getting it
I will say no more
I will just wait for the crying and the moaning to start
From those that do buy it in the weeks after they take it home

* Not buy sh-5 because its a crap game and it has DRM
* start yet ANOTHER DRM thread

* End the whole thread because it your were proven wrong in the first place anyway and say no more.
* wait for the crying and the moaning to start
* Not pay out your $49
* buy a car then fix it before you can drive it
* stick your head in the sand

You were wrong. You made yourself look silly. None of this "Well, yeah, b-b-b-but!" stuff. Get over it. If you hate it so much, why do you waste your time and effort posting on a message board for a game you'll never buy and never play? Not saying you can't, but I just don't understand why you would.
