Weak, Alpha. Really, I had thought you above such toddler tactics. If you don't have an argument you make up a consipracy?
I have taken a little time to review the posts of Ilya and Oleg over the time and I think MG may have tried to listen to the main criticism concerning the online modes (before MDS came into being, that is): the inability to use moving AI objects on DF servers and the utter lack of flexibility (and therefor predictability) of Coop missions. One may argue that they have overshot the mark when they removed the requirement for "canned" mission files completely (hence the lack of the "old" Coop format). And I think most here agree that the GUI is not really intuitive and user-friendly and could use some work to remedy this issue. This - translated into generating a less cumbersome Coop GUI - is probably the only way since I really doubt they're going to redo their basic concept for missions (with their utter flexibility and the load of scripting that can be used to make them even more flexible and unpredictable) just to revive an old format that was criticized just as much as it was loved.
