To the ║ ║ survivor, life, the loser, utter annihilation. A 560 Meg data file ║ ║ prevented this from being released earlier, but once again Grudge comes ║ ║ through. ║ ║ ║ ║ We leave this as yet another testament to the validity of the 50 disk ║ ║ limit. Just think what you'll get with more disks, useless crap and more ║ ║ wasted time downloading. ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ oOo Crackers Notes oOo ║ ║ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ║ ║ ║ ║ I was terribly disappointed to learn today that the SPA has decided to ║ ║ increase the new limit to 75 disks. The reason I am annoyed is because I ║ ║ know first hand the most important thing to a realease group. This is ║ ║ speed and the ability to get a game out as quickly as possible. The new ║ ║ limit means that the primary aim of the group will be to get large ║ ║ releases down to 75 disks. Once that point is reached groups will want to ║ ║ release it as soon as possible (for fear of being beaten) rather than ║ ║ strip it down to its minimum size. How many times do we see a game ║ ║ released at 50 disks, and then a day later a minirip appears which is a ║ ║ quarter the size. Unfortuantely these have a habit of being nuked and ║ ║ hardly ever filter down the scene. A 75 disk limit means that in every ║ ║ release you will be downloading another 25 disks of unnecessary crap. ║ ║ At 28.8 (like the vast majority of the scene) I've got better things to do ║ ║ with 3 hours. ║ ║ ║ ║ This brings me to Enemy Nations, which is supposedly another "unrippable" ║ ║ game. The only unrippable games are the ones which rely totally on movies ║ ║ and have no other component to them. The truth is that all games are ║ ║ rippable, and it is up to the groups to decide if the game deserves the ║ ║ effort to bring it down to 50 disks. CLASS decided that Enemy Nations was ║ ║ definately worth the effort, and have proven that in under 50 disks it is ║ ║ possible to rip the game, yet leave it totally playable. ║ ║ ║ ║ Ripped: All 24bit images, intro movies, sound, music and speech. The DAT ║ ║ file has been reindexed so it now only takes up 80 MB on your HD. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ oOo Install Notes oOo ║ ║ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ║ ║ Un-RAR and run ENATIONS.
