I play a game called planetside, built in 2002-03, they..

had fun with dual cores when they came out.. you had to do all sorts of things so you couldnt cheat. HAHA, yea, atleast 1/3 of players had dual core machines and about half of them were using the their new found hardware to cheat. Granted, cheating is bad, but it was very funny to watch people run from one area to another in less than 2 minutes. They finally put a patch out and things began to settle down, but it took them two plus months to do it. Should i expect them to embrace dual core coding? They havent even embraced directx 9! So no, i dont. Its sad since the game is an MMO.

I do hope that when UT 2007 comes out it has dual core awaresness built in and actually uses it correctly!
