wow - I think i created a monster.. my little baby thread, all grown up. I'm so proud! :p (Ps: at the risk of flogging a dead horse (and being petty:D ), several people have mentioned that Origin stated that P2 occurs some time after prophecy. can anyone point me to said info? all i can find...

ah well - I'm not going to complain - fan-projects are the life of WC these days, and are thus greatly valued. (besides, the midway never looked so good!)

well, yes, they (Origin/EA) do have the right. The only thing is that while they said it was part of the WC universe (the Origin FAQ), they don't say anything about the timeline, only that the-trisystem is not part of confed. And they stick in little things like that Talon would kinda make the...

heya, I've been using WCP, runs like a dream under XP with the soundcard accel set to 0 and compat mode on, except for some reason i have to wiggle the mouse after watching the WCP title video play, or it won't play the opening movie and just sits there (unless i press escape, which skips it...

1) I have to say, this thing rocks like an ox. (african slang, means it's good, m'kay?) 2)ok, I'm a wimp, and sulk at having to replay successfully completed missions 5 times over to try and save my wingmen :) (yep, i've got the difficulty turned down, but i recall a certain mission where i...

Not really - in the talon mission, you have to go and rescue the talon's pilot for interrogation.. The fact that the pilot ejected and the ship was disabled would indicate, though, that whatever event landed the ship in the tri-system is less than healthy for spaceships, which may explain the...

Half-life, heh.. I have to admit i'm a Sci-Fi fan anyway, but i think what really got people with halflife was things like using brains instead of just bigger guns and the fact the world seemed real and independant (things happening around you that could neither affect nor reach to you), NPC's...

Huzzit all - a little while ago a friend lent me an Apocalyptica album, and one of the songs was a cover of the Zelda theme tune, which was beautiful (i like classical , m'kay? :p ) does anyone else have or know of good covers of game music, or even game music albums like the homeworld one?

Out of interest, why do we assume that the langauage and formats of things like dates are being viewed by us in their original form? I would guess it is possible, as with many works of literature, everything is rendered in English and according to western conventions purely for the benefit of...

quick 2 cents worth? Hudson Hawk is fun, but the cream of my guilty pleasures has to be the Evil Dead Trilogy..

Yup - the game crashes if i land, and i've tried all the torps - only one that has any effect is the anti-shield one, even if i use that first the rest just go boom and look pretty :) - it's not main plot, just my main save game, unfortunately :( . Time to reload, i guess

Hi all, Just got hold of Priv2 (the windows version), but i seem to have got stuck in an impossible mission - I've been hired to kill all the pirates around a planet (i've forgotten the name, it's the "birthplace of humanity" one), but at one nav there is always a military prototype with...

Looks like Priv2 didn't actually start life as a WC game after all (assuming this link is true) - just found this, makes interesting reading: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1112175 I have to agree the combat is way too easy, but the acting is beautiful - classy, yet corny...

Hey all, just a random nitpicking query for all the WC experts out here :p I know Privateer 2 has to be canon (it's an original Origin WC game, after all), but is the Tri-system uni actually part of the rest of the WC 1/2/3/etc. universe, or a seperate beastie? thanks..

Just curious as to which ace people found the hardest to kill in the WC games.. For myself, it'd have to be hobbes in WC3, right after he kills cobra - i could never kill that guy unless i was in the excalibur..
