yahoogle!, I am generally killing at HK time 2:00-4:00pm on Sundays (but not this Sunday, must go to Shenzhen for party), immediately before the reflexology, shoulder and head massage from 4-6, which works out all the stress collected during the bloodfest.

My on-line handle for UT2k4 is Jacko.

I liked UT because I like the toy maps where the combatants are all inch tall in 'life size' rooms/gardens, and can sneak around the ceiling molding space, drainage pipes and such.

UT2k4 has those maps now as well, AND has planes (fighters and bombers, one with maverick rockets), hover tanks, regular tanks, humvees, and such ...

Some observations:

(a) quite fun to ride shot gun on a heavy tank armed with shoulder-launched anti-vehicular/aircraft missiles, with the tank crew blastingat other tanks and mowing down infantry, and me taking out tanks and aircraft with the missiles

(b) on the battle field, tanks and airplanes are very vulnerable, especially if there are lots of places for infantry to hide, and they are armed with should-fired missiles

(c) mines are really useful

(d) best survival strategy is to be infantry, but not travelling on roads and open plains, but in forests and across hilly/gully landscape, and not travelling with companions

(e) if one must travel in the open, those very fast dune buggies and hover cars are the vehicles to zip around in, but keep finger on ejection button, for that fateful moment when warned that a rocket has locked-on

(f) all disputes can be settled convincingly with the shoulder-fired redeemer nuke
