oOo Release Notes oOo

Yes we know what you are thinking.. WTF is up with all those damn FINALS,
beta to final update etc.. Let us explaine why we bother putting another
final version out.

Last week one of our friends asked us if we heard about any problems with
Commandos beeing buggy and sometimes freezing up. We told him that no fix
or anything was released for it. Then he said: Fuck gotta be something
with my hardware then, I am gonna try the company's webpage for help.

Later the same night he calls back saying that he found out something
very weird on the webpage. He said that a guy from Eidos claimed in the
newsgroup chat that the pirate version was only a beta version.

Our friend kept bugging us for the next few days to help him out fixing
it, since he wanted to play the game so bad. After trying the BLH version
ourself, we found out how cool this game really is.

The whole point with this story is, that the BLH version has probably
been spread to millions of people out there, who got the same problems
as our friend did. All caused by BLH's version beeing a beta, and this
is such a great game that people deserves a 100% fully working version.

We would have liked to have done a small beta to final update patch, but
that wasn't possible since 90% of all the files has been updated since
the beta version.

We removed the movies, and cut a little down on the mission briefings.
Everything else is here..

So, for all the quality players out there, that dont want to play a
buggy version or have the game freezing just when its the most fun, you
now have the final 100% working retail version..

For the people that for some reason might think that the BLH version
of this game was final, here's a little info for you.

1) The retail version will first be in stores in Europe this week or the
next. And Blh got it already a month ago? yea sure..

2) The game first went gold June 11th according to Eidos.

3) All files in the retail version is over a month newer.

4) Files has different sizes in the retail and BLH's version.

5) A guy working at Eidos claims that the BLH version is a beta.

<____S____> There is a pirated Beta out on the net.  This version is not
<____S____> only buggy but is only 80% complete.  It is sad that it was
<____S____> hacked, but the retail version is MUCH more attractive.

6) BLH claimed the game didn't have protection. The retail got heavy
protection.

And we could go on and on.. OH, more good news.. In our version, you can
actually save and load games, which can be a great help.

We really hope that some groups will stop flooding the scene with these
beta versions. There have been way too many lately, and if you can't
make it in the scene without have to release half working games, claiming
they're final.. GET OUT!

Eventhough we aint much around anymore due to our work, we have not
forgotten our friends out there:

The 2 gay jewboys - Catman - Magic & Drake - OFD - Skill - Solar - Bod -
Grudge - Juice - Ddruid - Hmphood - Madtulip - Sundancer - Ice - ATM -
Prozac - and all the rest we know out there...

If any of you should happen to come on vacation to Kos in Greece this
year, watch out for the 2 cool dudes wearing the special designed Class
T-shirts.. and we're not talking some cheesy 1$ pink razor t-shirts..
And no, they're not for sale, since we're not in it for the money..

oOo WANTED oOo

Due to the overwhelming amount of feedback we  got about artists, we are
going  to try  this  again.  First,  we are looking  for people  who can
supply HARDWARE to our group.  Most  importantly 3DFX Cards, MMX  Chips,
and Hard Drives.  If you think you are able to help out, contact us ASAP
to be rewarded.  Second, we are looking for DEMO's (4k, 64k, even 4MB if
they are good enough)  with a CLASS theme.  The DEMO Scene and our Scene
used to be tightly knit.  Today, you are lucky if anyone  knows what the
DEMO  Scene is.  We would like to  change that, and give the  DEMO Scene
some much needed exposure, especially here  in the USA.  Lastly, we just
wanted to thank everyone for all  the positive feedback we have received
over the past few weeks.  It's nice to know our work is appreciated.  So
