Ok, i got a good one for ya.

I opted to help with options for music for my new found passion MWO right, working with a DL'ed trial version of a software and im having trouble finding making a mix that just seems right for the era, so i thought, whats wrong with taking a few tracks from the MCO cd that i have laying around, and making some cuts off of it, mix in some riffs and chords and stuff, ya know rekindle old feelings if anything.

Well, none of the programs i have read the media files that they have for the music, some .afc file or somtin like that, any help there would be grateful, but i then proceeded to get side tracked and this is what i found.

correct me if im wrong, but didn't we "recieve" Hazzard Hallow, and the industrial tracks from a patch? if you follow me on this, pop in your old cd and go exploring if you have not done so already. for the track files are pre-installed, off the disc.

also, if you dig long enough, youll notice some files in thier for snow, tire blowouts COPS! among some other stuff that you might find intresting, things that if i remember correctly, were never used within the game.

I am beginning to thing that the whole, "not enough shelf sales to keep the game profitable" is a crock. it was burnt up. out of resorces. i really don't believe they had anybody at all working full time on updates and the creation of new cars and tracks and stuff, it was already done, kinda makes sense too.

why spend thousands, paying a team of X amount of ppl to continue research, programming, artwork, Ect. when you can slip the guy who runs and gets coffee every morning 20 bux to hit a key on the keyboard and allow a series of files already installed on your computer unknowingly, to be used for online play.

I for one, don't think that they intended it to be such a big hit of the get go, and designed it to be an off line thing, and then some beligerent fool, said, hey lets take it online. rather then starting over, they looked at an easy way to make profit for 2 years, and then jump to something new....say SIMS.... before everybody loses intreast. would have been a good plan......IF ANYBODY WOULD HAVE LOST INTREAST!!!!!!! *&%$&^&*s. lol. i can hear the sound of 100 MCO cd's being flung into the drives now. just some food for thought. look me up in the chat room if you feel like talkin bout it, ill be there for a bit

The content that was released over the years was originally on the disk, at least most of anyways. This is not something new to EA, nor have they stopped doing it. Both NFS Pro Street and Undercover have files that were not "unlocked" with the original release of the games, but with a simple supposed download, they were unlocked. There were many cars in MCO that were not used at launch but were "unlocked" after a while and others (34 Ford, 48 Chevy, 69 corvette, 69 Camaro RS, 69 Super Bee) were left untouched and unreleased. Good thing for some of them (Super Bee) because it was a horrible mesh and would have been met with alot of angst from the Mopar guys, me being one, and the 69 vette was a miniature of what it should have been. It looked like a go-kart with a vette body kit on it.
EA has been doing this lately and getting a ton of flak for it. Many people are angry that EA expects them to pay for stuff that was already included on the disk they purchased.

EA pulled some more stuff like that with battlefield 2 (best FPS) some of the screen shots and cover pictures show a black hawk with a missile pod on it and guys repelling. when that stuff wasnt in the game I was pissed.

Its interesting how we flooded that last poll with votes for MCO, and the import players dident seem to care enought to even show up in force to vote for the Under series games. NFS died with PSU and MCO.
