[quote=“Slax, post:390, topic:528”]It does feel like LazyCat’s making a mod for himself more than for anyone else. Buuut I don’t really mind that much. You can always go back to DDA if MGS pisses you off.
Sad thing is, it will piss you off eventually.[/quote]
What? What will piss you off?
There have only been three complaints all together.
1.) custom character creation - people failing to read instructions
2.) military time display - childish whining
3.) show only current map - solution to remove constant glitching near map borders
That’s all. Now, you are telling me those three insignificant and completely gameplay irrelevant things makes you not appreciate any of this:

And you will go back to play the game that is glitching and crashing and has hundreds of bugs even in the most basic and most commonly seen and used parts of the game? Fascinating. But then, for people who didn’t mind there is no animations in the game and drove their vehicles at half the walking speed with constant freezing and skipping, for people who actually prefer distorted view, who don’t mind daylight in the middle of the night and that reading takes 10 real time minutes instead of few seconds, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. How amusing.
