Beyond some gold nuggets by TonyE and CV32, will anybody publish a complete list of modifications (improvements, semplifications, deletions) before release ?

Btw, what resolutions does the game support?

We'll see, beta testing never matches the creativeness of new players!

It just runs in a regular windows window (unless something has changed)... of course, the bigger the resolution the bigger the area you have for the interior windows. Should run on just about any resolution.

Quite happy building stuff for ANW, thanks.

Anyway, I got bored of Harpoon Classic last century. Would be a step backwards (for me).

Status: offline 		I can tell you from my own experiences testing:

Beta testers tend to be the hardcore most experienced players. Thus, they tend not to use/test arcade oriented options and/or make the type of constructs that only a confused noob would make while trying to play a game. As such, it is not uncommon for a game which received a lot of play by the testers to immediately have a flurry of bug reports upon release.

H3 ANW anyone?
Actually the way that game is going at the moment (ECM being downgraded, lack of response to suggestions and questions made by community and the bad attitude towards the same etc. etc. etc.) I don't see myself buying anything AGSI for the foreseable future so I'll change my vote to "no".
That is my opinion.

can´t say they don´t listen to me....

And i think that I´m sometimes really stressing the Team asking for changes
or telling them my Ideas of what might be improved....

I recently purchased Harpoon 3 and will purchase the HCCE. The games each give a different experience. If I could only choose one, I would stick with H3 for the flexibility of the windowing system.
