Stupid Brit question
is the American way
12am = noon
or
12am = midnight ?
[/ QUOTE ]
12am is midnight. We go from 11:59pm to 12:00am. "am" means "ante-meridian", or "before noon". "pm" means "post-meridian", or "after noon".
You can read "pm" as meaning "afternoon, evening, and night", while "am" is "morning" (including the pre-dawn hours).
12:00am = 00:00h
6:00am = 06:00h
12:00pm = 12:00h
6:00pm = 18:00h
As I write this, it is 3:30am, or 03:30h, EST; that means it is 8:30am, or 08:30h, GMT. (EST = "Eastern Standard Time (US)", GMT = "Greenwich Mean Time".) Whereas, when YOU wrote YOUR post, it was 1:39pm (13:39h) EST, or 8:39am (08:39h) GMT.
Does that help ...?

Actually, that's not entirely accurate. AM is before noon, PM is after noon. 12:00 is noon. In actuality, it is neither PM nor AM, just like midnight since midnight could either be considered to be 12 hours after noon or 12 hours before. However, since the 59mins following midnight are in AM, midnight is commonly considered AM as well.

ROFLMAO that's good. 
Furthermore, I think it is only fair to put Cov::I1 in context with CoH::I1 comparing CoV - I1 to CoH-I5 really is not a fair comparison.
By the I1 standard I think it will be fine. For those who have not yet experienced it I think you will enjoy breaking from the Zig and going through the early missions.
I have experienced early CoH content a number of times I have 15 characters at lvl 14+ and I still found the CoV early game to be very fun and excitingly different.
The way to keep it fun is not to pigeon hole the new ATs. Just remember there is NO Tanker, there is NO Defender, there is NO Controller. Each AT is a brand new thing and if you enjoy the exploration of new roles you will like it a lot. If you try to fit an Octagon shaped object into the triangularly shaped hole you will not be as satisfied as you could be.
My other thoughts on CoV:
- Bases rock - but they are not fairly balanced yet. This will appear a nerf to some in CoV-I2+, but I think they will need to collect some I1 data mining to make it more fair to smaller groups.
- PvP not for everyone, but they did a real good job at making it as appetizing as they can for PvEers (like myself). Even if you are not fond of tomatoes on sandwiches or tomato juice, you still might want to try the tomatoe soup. As a play tester I can vouch that we hashed out a lot of our opinoins and they listened to us.
- Xp curve - I felt that it was MUCH, MUCH easier to run the Xp curve with my CoV characters then it was for my CoH Archer. I imagine this will come accross as a nerf adjustment later on in CoV-I2+
- Newspaper missions Awesome (and mission sharing awesome) there were some exploits there and some bugs hopefully they got those adjusted. Somebody got there Stalker to lvl 24 in 20 hours of heavy lag playing. But thats why we were testing.
- Content flow (mission arcs are very cool and feel different then CoH). However, sometimes there were huge gaps in where to go next. Hopefully as testers we found all of them. Of course I expect more Content flow as we go to CoV-I2 and beyond.
- NPCs and Scenery rock. War Witch and crew did a rockin job in CoV. There is a lot of flavor on the streets and I am still exploring.
As a tester though I was hoping to get more time testing how it will integrate with CoH. I think there might be some rough fits at the end of October. Hopefully we can be patient with the team and all the work they have to do to make this deadline.
Having worked extremly succesfully over the last 20 years in a software company that takes great pride in the work it produces, I can tell you some times you have to release software with some minor known issues in order to produce the best software you can in version 2.

AM, Ante meridian, is morning. Since the new day officially starts at midnight, it is 12:00 am.

Are noon and midnight 12 a.m. or 12 p.m.?
This is perhaps the trickiest time question of them all. The best answer is that the terms 12 a.m. and 12 p.m. cause confusion and should not be used.
To illustrate this, consider that "a.m." and "p.m." are abbreviations for "ante meridiem" and "post meridiem." They mean "before noon" and "after noon," respectively. Of course, noon is neither before nor after noon; it is simply noon. Therefore, neither the "a.m." nor "p.m." designation is correct. On the other hand, midnight is both 12 hours before noon and 12 hours after noon. Therefore, either 12 a.m. or 12 p.m. could work as a designation for midnight, but both would be ambiguous.
To get around the problem, the terms 12 noon and 12 midnight should be used instead of 12 a.m. and 12 p.m. For example, a bank might be open on Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. Or, a grocery store might be open daily until midnight. If you are making schedules, times such as 12:01 a.m. (one minute after midnight), or 11:59 p.m. (one minute before midnight) also can eliminate ambiguity. This method is used by the railroads and airlines.

I preordered from EB, two days ago and they sent me an email stating that the ship date has been changed to 10/27/05 for CoV, which means it will be in EB Games on the 28th or 29th, which makes sense to give the two day headstart.
But what do I know other than retail store chains make errors in judgement and so do game publishers.

In a calculus class we dedetermined 1200 is noon 2400 is midnight. Since this only exists for a breif moment in time
12:00.00000000000000000000...1 is PM.
Using limits on both 12:00 and 24:00 Noon becomes PM and Midnight Becomes AM.

Meh, you could use limits from below just as easily...
11:59.99999999999999999999999999999999999... is AM.
The trouble is, you're dealing with a discontinuous/step function. If it's not defined AT the point you're approaching, you can easily get into trouble trying to apply limits.
...
That said, I agree... 1200 is PM, 0000 is AM.

11:59.99999999999999999999999999999999999... is AM.
Actually approaching Noon which is is neither AM or PM. This is why the limit was approached from both sides ..think of noon as dividing by zero so it is excluded. It gets messy I know. The moment Noon starts adding a reference in time let it be a minute or a nanosecond you enter the realm of PM. I take my lunch every day at 11:00 AM and I'm alloted 60 min for lunch. If I return any time after Noon, I am late and it is electronically is documented. I've seen co workers documented at 12:00.01
