Yes, but not just in RTSs. I like console map editors where you just drag and drop from a list of items. I know they aren't as good, but at least I don't have to study a manual to learn how to place a tree.

Map Editors
These days, map editors in RTSs suck! They're so complicated! The AoE 1 %26 2 map editors were the best - I was creating complex scenarios, with triggers and timers and the like, at the age of eleven. Anyone else similarly annoyed?Map Editors

PC to play Crysis
Does the Alienware 3-Way SLI Performance Desktop good.http://alienware.com/product_pages/desktop_all_default.aspxIf it is can anyone tell me how to get a cheaper pc with the same components?Thank You.PC to play Crysis
3-way SLI is a stupidly huge waste of money. You can get it for probably $1500-$2000 cheaper than the $5000 that Alienware is asking, if you were to build the computer yourself; an even still its a waste of money. But if you're looking to play Crysis, more than anything, three 8800 Ultras are barely going to be any better than two 8800 Ultras, as seen here: [url]http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3183%26p=3[/url]
The only games that are going to see good extra performance are games that are already going to run just fine on a single-card setup anyway.
EDIT: I actully just looked at the Alienware link, and it seems that the $5000 price tag is still for the normal 2-card SLI configuration. Going up to three 8800GTXs you're looking at $6,300. In that case, building this computer yourself would probably save you more like $3000-$4000.PC to play Crysis
Like ProudLarry said, don't get 3-way SLI.Secondly, buy the parts yourself and let BestBuy's Geek Squad build it for you. Thirdly, ask this in PC Hardware Discussion. And don't expect to max out Crysis on any current rig.
A 8800 GT is more than enought to paly this game with all on High at 1280 x 960 above 45 fps -without AA-. To Very High at 1680 x 1050 60 fps sorry but there's no hardware at the moment. Anyway, with the GT looks awesome. In any case, SLI/Crossfire solutions are always ineffective in terms of cost/performantce, wat/performance...

what are the pc gamers thoughts on gta iv
since u guys have knowledge on tech specs i just wanted to know what u guys rally think about gta iv? like the game being a 720p native, frame rate, graphics etc....since gta was originally on the pc before as well.what are the pc gamers thoughts on gta iv
i've never been a big GTA player...it looks like its got a better storyline than the other games in the series, and the concept of every single person in the city having a ''life'' is pretty coolwhat are the pc gamers thoughts on gta iv
I'm thinking I'm gonna get it for my dusty 360 so it can feel like it has a use and because its coming out sooner.
It looks really good especially coming from ROckstar. 720p is not a bad resolutionat all, on a TV set. I will love to see a gta game run at 60fps though but the gameplay makes up for it and I'm excited. Multiplayer is another bonus. I'm eager to see the PC port and how the mod community will approach it.

I haven't seen/heard anything about a PC version, but here's to hoping one comes out and that perhaps it can be less demanding on all our systems than Crysis ;)
I don't care for it, it can rot and die for all I care, but I might pick it up if it comes out on the PC(when its cheap)
The GTA series have never had good graphics and GTA4 isn't any differentThe story probably won't be better than VC (I'm 80% certain)It will be 10 times better when it comes out for PC because of mouse+keyboard and mods
Should be good, can't wait. I find the PC, a more proper platform for most games including GTA IV.
San Andreas left a pretty bad taste in my mouth for some reason. I just couldn't get into it, even though I enjoyed every minute of Vice City, so I'm in no rush to play GTA IV, but I am interested in checking it out if it makes it to the PC.
I simply cant wait for a PC release of GTA4....I think specs will be rather high. Hmmm lets say at least 2GB or DDR2 800 with a 8800GT and a decent CPU to play o decent resolution with max settings without so many drops of frames.Maybe im totally wrong though. Because that was what i said for COD4 but COD4's engine is so amazing that you can play with P4 2.4 1GB DDR1 ram and X800pro card. So it really depends of shadows,pixel shader,how many polygons per second,lighting etc. Its all about what technology they used to make it and whats their engine.

Kinda wanna mmo
I used to play mmo's all the time. I haven't played one in a few years. I need a free one (NOT RUNESCAPE), from what I heard anarchy online is good, what do you think? Well any suggestions?Kinda wanna mmo
Anarchy Online is the best free MMO. It's the only free to play MMORPG that can compete with P2P.Kinda wanna mmo
Theres Conquer online, tho i prefer World of warcraft
Silkroad online is THE BEST FREE MMO out there. Don't believe me? Try it. You will be hooked.
[QUOTE=''Rikusaki'']Silkroad online is THE BEST FREE MMO out there. Don't believe me? Try it. You will be hooked.[/QUOTE]I wanted to throw my screen out of the window at level 15. The grind was too massive.
Head to gamescampus.com. They have some nice lil MMOs.. all free except if you want to buy stuff with real money.. which is not really necessary to enjoy them. They have 5 games so far with another one on the way.. Games goes from golf to martial arts. Not bad.. I've played golf for 6 months..But if you want to reconsider the free part.. I strongly suggest City of Heroes/Vilains. The Good vs Evil edition is down to 20$ and the game have made major improvements since last summer.
