"Live" D-Day coverage starting at 11:41AM EST June 6, 2007.

Looks like it will be interesting! I will be tuned in as soon as the G. Gordon Liddy show goes off at 12!

D-Day happened a long time ago, how is there going to be live coverage?

it's going to be news breaks in proper time of day sequence for 40 hours... original newscast rebroadcasts.... with 40's music on the radio.... talk about immersion! I will probably fly something online with invasion stripes during some of this :-D

LOL I really thought this would have been more popular here... Listening to 40's music... having archived newscasts breaking in in order of the time events happened in france... playing a little aces high.... It's gonna last 40 hours.

That sounds like a nice way to spend some time there. Unfortunately I don't have XM and can't play AH on a satelite, sigh....

Unfortunately my lag times are in the 800 to 1500 range. I've seen up to 2 seconds at times. I did try it on anoither game once. I went online with Americas Army to an empty server then took a shot at the wall. It took 3 seconds at times for the bullet hole in the wall to appear. A half second lag is rather noticable in AH, I'd hate to see a 1.5 to 2 second delay in game play.

That's where I first started playing AH in 2004! Good to see the tradition is carried on.
