This has been asked lots of times, the distance of view has been increased various times... Why does people want more again and again, (If the distance is increased each time it's asked, you would be able to see the whole planet earth in-game, for god's sake...)

It could be finally "infinite" (stopped when full map is shown). ;-)
But as far as I know the main problem for this is performance.

It is increased a bit more in trunk, but again the limiting factor is mostly performance. There is also a problem that some models get really hard to look at when you zoom out too much, and we would eventually need some kind of level of detail support.

ok true true all that didnt plAY a fact in my statement but still if all those bugs were fixed up u knw they should just make a part two where Nexus wasnt all destroyed where just a shred of his code was left un destroyed and he replicated himself bak to wat he was 10 fold that would be awesom but then i think the story would start to seem like the terminator story machines vs humans still that concept is awesome

Translation: You are correct; I did not think of that when I made my earlier statement, and so I rescind it.

However, I have a new idea: We should make a sequel to Warzone in which the plot is that Nexus was not completely destroyed during the events of the original game, and it becomes ten times as powerful as it was original.

No, but wrote neatly enough to be understood by others (at least try to get close to native speakers). ;-)

No, but coherence would be nice. I have to spend several minutes before I understand one of your posts (while I can skim through most others in seconds). I provide translations so that others do not have to waste so much time trying to figure out what you're trying to say; the same reason I provide translations for posts written in foreign languages.

Those, and posts wrote in incoherent english, translated word-by-word from other languages, I daresay, should be the only cases that needed such translations.

The deal is this: If you spend thirty seconds in every post to write it properly, many people won't have to spend thirty or more seconds to understand what you posted. 138 members viewed this post - if you think about it, the time that all of those people wasted, because they couldn't understand your post in the first read-through, surely is more than you used to write all of your posts, as a whole.

It is a matter of compassion.
