I'm aware of Air Warrior but there are some differences. Air Warrior used an on-line gaming network, with dedicated lines and optimized networking protocols. Falcon will be using the internet, which has many more bandwidth considerations due to the fact it is a general protocol going through shared lines and many bottlenecks. Just try playing many of the latest internet games through a typical modem over the net and then try using a dedicated line with the same modem through an on-line gaming service and you will notice a huge difference in performance. I don't know of any 3d games that play over the internet with today's modem technology that play free of lag. Who knows, MPRS may be able to pull it of the hat with Falcon 4.0. I really hope they do. I'm just stating that from my gaming experience, I have not seen one 3d internet game perform without lag over present day modem technology. Marc
