Using the Wayback site to surf the old MG forums from 2001.

I was reminded of the Modern remake project for WaW.

It's like coming across a photo of your favorite ex from years ago

God, if I knew that what I know now as far as icon and OB development (which, really, ain't much..)

Ah, those WERE the good old days of the old girl.

More new code (I suppose)for them. And modern warfare needs more larger map size (at least wider horizontally than now) IMHO.

Just my 2 cents

And hello Sami! Long time no see!

Yes I'm still here after 15 years joining here (sometimes I wonder why because there's so little "progress" what comes to SPWAW)...

edit:Sorry about double message

Doing just fine! After SPMW went bottom up, I got called in to do my national service. I liked it and applied to national college. Nowadays I am taming real life Steel Panthers in the FDF.

Good to see that many of the old farts are still around, gives hope that maybe some day... ;-)

Ilja Varha

EDIT: ...and then I see Steel Tigers mentioned! Oh joy!

Good to see you again, buddy!
