Global Ops Clarification
by Steve Gibson, Feb 08, 2001 2:33am PSTMany of you have noticed Maarten and I like to throw around that "100 times better than Counter-Strike" quote whenever talking about the upcoming Global Ops game. Well Jeff Barnhart, a producer over at Crave Entertainment sent this along in hopes of clarifying that quote:
... a bit of misunderstanding about something I said to one editor in one interview a while ago. The quote in question is the one about the game being 100 times better than counterstrike. This wasn't intended to be interpreted the way it sounds, I was just very excited about the game and said this as a way to express how excited I was about it. Second, I work for Crave Entertainment, not Barking Dog. Barking Dog has been pinned as the people that said this quote, and as much as I hate to admit this, it was me. The development team didn't actually claim anything at all. I really want people to look at Global Operations for what it is, and not by trying to hold it up to a 100% measuring stick next to CounterStrike. The two games are apples and oranges from each other, and this quote is creating a barrier that isn't allowing people to see past this. Thanks for your help, Jeff Barnhart, Producer Crave Entertainment

Oh, you're excited about the game? No need to denegrate another game because of it. No one is claiming Doom3 will be 100 times better than Half-Life.

sounds like barking dog have not come up with anything new to add to gameplay wise, sounds like they just ripped off valves ideas for tf2 and based it on counter-terrorism. my message to barking dog, get your own fucking ideas.

100*x != 100*x
