message: In the Infobox, the "Platform(s)" field includes "Macintosh".  I think that the "Platform(s)" field should specify a value or values from the "Supported platforms" section of the  Vgclegend template.  For example, if MDK only runs on Mac OS X, then MDK's Infobox should specify "OSX" in the "Platform(s)" field.

message: If this video is really the promo video (and all signs seem to point that way), then there's really no question on what MDK means: Murder Death Kill. It says explicitly, right there! Can anyone confirm the validacy of this? ☢ Ҡi∊ff⌇↯ 08:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

text: It's been mentioned in the article that Kurt was dispatched on: "Mission: Deliver Kindness", which can be abbreviated to MDK. So why haven't anybody considered this possibility? If the game developers did name the storyline as "Mission: Deliver Kindness", then I think it may indeed be the real meaning of MDK.  130.243.151.218 (talk) 23:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Funnily I only ever saw the game on the shelves, I never owned it nor read up on it asides from having once played the demo and I've always 'known' the acronym to be for "Murder Death Kill". Where I got that from or why I have no idea... I'm pretty sure it was from an advert in a game magazine, I seem to have an image of the main character to one side, and on the other it explicitly saying "murder death kill" on a poster/full page advert below the MDK title --85.62.18.8 (talk) 01:59, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Promo video and meaning of "MDK"

message: I'm a avid fan of MDK, and if its okay, I will try to make this article larger and more informatical without any spoilers 
EG: the games sci-fi plot background and character profile. This however will NOT be copied from the instruction book as Wild 9 has done, I have also joined in writing in any most of Shinys game articles and Planet Moons too, and will try to tighten up and link any similarities and trivia relating to each other.--Fr3k3r 20:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Images link 

message: I thought it would be right to add info about how Kurt's coil suit works. 
The sniper rifle, chain gun, ribbon chute, etc.
Will add pics later, (I actually have some of the games concept art hanging about of the suit and how it works, I think its in the actual limited edition's instruction book)
As you don't just play as Kurt in the game, you play as Kurt in the coil suit.
So, the coil suit is the star of the game, IMO.
Also added Minecrawlers info, need a screenshot from game illustrating Earth being 'mined'.

message: This page has evidence about the images having being taken off of the MDK2 DreamCast CD by me. Given free on the CD.
If the images are against any format of copyright, I'll be very suprised.
The images from the CD source (If are clear of possible copyright issues/conflicts), could also be contributed to make the [MDK2] wiki-page sharper.

thread_title:  Concept art  Images on this page 

message: I cleaned up alot of the grammar mistakes and added detail to many of the entries. Also I added the powerup bit- Screens for that would be nice. Also, I forget what the vacuum feilds actually are- my friend took the diary with him when he moved to britain. Fluke 610 EST 19 Dec 2006
Excellent, but I personally think we would actaully be best just having screenshots and crop to thumbnails of the powerups. We SHOULD be able to count them as screenshots then. The vacuum fields? Isn´t that what Kurt rides through at the end of most levels? 
I believe that to be the Energy Streams around Earth, not sure, but we´d best check this out together, oh and I´ll be getting the limited edition (Off a friend) with the book soon. So I SHOULD be able to double check this and all other content on this page.--Fr3k3r 23:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Re-Evaluation? 

message: Okay, I went in. Don't shout at me for being badly word processed and perhaps lame at typing, but I've written a hefty post on DPFiles.
I hope everybody working on this article agrees with the post and its contents.
Also, don't shout at me about the possibility of the article soon after vanishing.
I'm just worried about some of this content we have on the article, links, information, images,etc. 
I think DP is the man to ask.
If not, I've asked if he can tell through the forum where we can find out.
Heres hoping he comes and join us on this discussion page in the near future, or that we're allowed to keep this page.--Fr3k3r 01:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This part of the article "MDK received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the gameplay, the level design, the sardonic sense of humor, the game's technical accomplishments, and the use of sniper mode. The most often repeated criticisms included that the game was too short, and the story was weak. The game was a commercial success, and Interplay approached Bruty to work on a sequel immediately. However, he was already developing Giants: Citizen Kabuto, so BioWare was hired to develop the game. MDK2 was published for Windows and the Dreamcast in 2000, and for the PlayStation 2 (as MDK 2: Armageddon) in 2001. In 2007, Interplay announced a third game was planned, but it was never made."
