*.mov! Apple! You and your proprietary codec can go... out of business! Yeah! That's where you can go!

I sure don't like Apple QuickTime and I'll be glad when it's gone. Wouldn't be so bad if they'd share the codec with MS and let Media Player play this 4.0 format.

Same goes to Real Player. You guys suck too.

At least it didn't include a jeep type vehicle. The addition of the space stuff looks interesting. I'd love to fight my way from space station to space station and then go inside and blow shit up.
