Default Worth the stretch?

Hi guys

I have enough credit with Shrapnel to get a new game at the moment (and get it shipped ot old blighty, it still comes in cheaper than a new game in the shops, we brits get gouged!)

However as far as I can see the only games I want are:

82nd Airborne (and I'll wait till its out I think)
And SEIV Gold

Why do i have a problem with SEIV gold? Because I already have SEIV. So the question is, is it worth me spending my credit on this, or should I wait for somthing else?

Thanks again guys, the mods sound cool BTW

Would someone be so kind as to post the "History.txt" from SE4:Gold v1.91 So that Sniper can have a right good and proper view of what has been done since SE4 v1.49.

I'm sure it would help him make this all important decision.

Thanks, and Cheers!

Can't comment on 82nd Airborne, but I think SEIVG is well worth it (and I paid full price). THen again, I've barely played any other game in the Last 3 years, so I've more than got my money's worth.

As you may know, SE5 is scheduled for summer 2005, but that's more than a year away, and that assumes it will be out on time.

So basically... wait a year (or more) and spend your credit on SE5, or buy Gold now! That's my advice.

For singleplayer you get some nice new features + a bunch of bugfixes + better AI’s (with the TDM modpack) + all the new mods. If its worth it is entirely up to how much you like the game.

If you want to test yourselves in multiplayer, SEIV classic is (almost) not an option anymore. Gold got all the action at PBW.

Thanks for the advice guys...

Im a big fan of SEIV and tend to play single player or hotseat with my friends.

I think the main thing that has me wanting SEIV is so I can run some of these cool mods your all talking about/designing. It seems to be a well supported game,

SEV? Next year? That'll be fun!!!
