I just realized, today's my 22nd month as a Commando! It was July 19th 2003 when I first trained as a novice commando. Ironically, about 3 weeks after launch...as it is now about 3 weeks after the CU.
On an unrelated topic, I saw Episode 3 today...was the best prequel movie, and almost comes to the level of the Classic Trilogy (still the best). Had a pretty good time too.
On a related topic, Im pissed. Just finished writing up a big post on the Corr forums advocating and stressing at what's fundamentally wrong, incomplete, and flat out broken...needless to say, I was inspired by some of the posts today by you folks. In my opinion, its not right that as a community we met the CU with an open mind and went as a group to test the thing with an optimistic attitude. We were successful to the point where we got direct feedback from a developer, Helios...who is our only hope at this point...
Im angry at the fact that its been 3 weeks, and we're now worse than we previously were. We had SO much riding on the CU, and were promised so much. So far its been like General Greivious in Episode 3...a dissapointment.
Im fighting for you guys and gals out there as hard and as long as I can; not taking any crap until the job gets done.

Thanks Nick, congrats on the 22 month mark! (I'm at about the 6 month mark myself). /salute for all your hard work, we'll keep fighting as long as you do!
/thank Starnick & garvin

EDIT: Btw I would kind of like to see a return to the older commando philosophy.... big heavy hits with a slower reloading time (that was my favorite part), but whatever you can do we appreciate it!

Wow, you ain't kidding... that trailer looks really good. Wonder how the space part will work out? Looks like they are putting a lot into it. Thanks for the heads up that the trailer came out.
Now only if SWG explosions from the explosive prof would be destructive...

Kick some ass!
Don't be afraid to remind them that you have an entire army of armed and dangerous lunatics behind you, and that victory shall yet be ours!

Jabba the Developer: "And why should I pay attention to your profession?"
Starnick: "Because I have this." *bweeeEEEEEEE* Starnick powers up a thermal detonator
Jabba the Developer: "You're my kind of Scum!"
