They are still keeping the sierra name still. But, all in all it's sad that all those people are now jobless.

Not really the end of Sierra if the name is going to continue to be used.

Name is just name, Sierra is dead, just about in every aspect but its name.

"What is a name?  A rose by any other would smell as sweet."

or something like that...

as long as the name exists, the legacy stays, thus it is still alive.

I'll stay back and snipe from a far. It is safer.

i'll just use my 30-06, the scope doesn't go as far as the bullet, but it has a range of a good 3 or 4 miles.

I'd use a Derranger before I'd use a sniper

"Separately, however, the developer did announce plans to delay its upcoming console title "Starcraft: Ghost". Though no specific date was given, it is unlikely "Ghost" will be released in 2004."

As if no one expects Blizzard to delay their games. :P

Well, Blizzard, AFAIK, is one of those game companies that would prefer to get it right the first time. Despite delays, I am mostly happy with the games they put out.

take on the guards at Sierra with a crossbow in a ninja suit...I wish OP2Patriot were here, I finaly finished the drawing of the Thor's Hammer Rifle, and he wanted to see it when I told him I was working on it.
