I am willing to bet that Microsoft wants pgi to wait for dx11.1 before they integrate. This probably is forcing pgi to wait on possible bug fixes and threading issues until after they get dx11.1 into the game. So blame Microsoft...... wait what was that .... Pgi owns mwoclans.com!!!! very interesting.

There was a shooter on the grassy knoll, Bush ordered the 9/11 attacks, and Aliens built the pyramids.

Anyone else feel like the quality of threads have been degrading as of late? Worst part is that it was never really that good, it just seems to have gotten worst recently.

Where do you get your info dude? You're all wrong.

Aliens ordered Bush to build the pyramids on the grassy knoll while the shooter faked the 9/11 attacks.

Everyone knows that.

close but no cigar, aliens supplied the technology that built the pyramids, bush had nothing to do with 9/11 it was the shadow government, shooter on the grassy knoll is pretty well established. Even the congressional inquiry concluded kennedy's death was the likely result of a conspiracy.

Anyone have some tin foil I can borrow? Not Aluminium foil. That doesn't block the electromagnetic waves. It has to be tin.

Possibly Confirmed, mwomercs.com and mwoclans.com domains were registered on the same day by same person.

mwoclans.com forwards to mwomercs.com

Alas, the perfect plan foiled by the careless registration of a domain. I'd bet the Illuminati are pissed.

No not at all. Then again I drink when I read the forums.

For how controlled and monopolized that industry can be I wouldn't rule that out.

The grassy gnoll is easy to deal with. Shoot him with your longbow.

As much as I like a good Bash Microsoft thread, I doubt they are to blame here. If they wanted anything off PGI, it would simply be a commitment to implement 11.1 after it became available, not to hold back the product.

Also note it would be a different division of MS that sold PGI the licence implementing DX11.1

Why does everybody forget Activision's role in the MW series before MS bought FASA Interactive?

I'm not saying it was aliens...


...but Microsoft definitely wants you to pay for their fk ing stuff before you get it. Why do you think they're so supportive of anti-piracy snitch lines?

I wasn't aware there was a different way to do it.

So... yes, many domains have been registered to make sure they're secure in the event of future game expansions (planned expansions, most likely).

I'm moving this thread to Off-Topic since it's not really discussing the current game...

Yes, they were the driving force behind the BSA, and profited most from settlements the BSA did. One reason many companies pulled support for it. The BSA was settling for the MS parts.

That said, the BSA was always after money they could almost "extort" people for. Deny an audit, get them turn up with a bailiff. They weren't interested in home software, it was always more larger business they could get large amounts of money from.

MS made piracy of their own software ridiculously easy early on, to encourage a user base. When they hit monopoly, they pulled out all the stops to make sure you paid for your copy.

Dude ... you don't pay for DirectX as a developer. It's free. Just an FYI.
