    The 5 Deadliest Pilots

    I'm not sure if it's known that Tarsus is older than Hellcats and Thunderbolts for sure- a lot of the WC3 fighters from my understanding are relatively as old as the hills too.... and just because one can do something within the game universe (like load every hardpoint with ImRecs, or Torpedos...

    Why We Fight (May 25, 2007)

    I think the point trying to be made is that XBox 360 games are supposed to be easy to port to Windows due to similar development architecture. On a different, but related note to the topic mentioned in this thread, I think you can still dislike part of a series, but still love the series as a...

    The 5 Deadliest Pilots

    I dunno, I always felt the loadout was part of the character of the ship you flew- for instance, in WC1, not having Imrecs on a scim or hornet was part of the experience. The fighters of WC3 + 4 lost some of their distinctiveness when you could load up every hardpoint with imrecs or FoF's if...

    The 5 Deadliest Pilots

    Well, when the next "traditional" style WC game comes, I hope they take the "can't choose your wingman, can't choose your loadout, can't choose your ship" model of the earlier games (and if they want to make it so you can choose all those things, make it a bonus that opens up after you beat the...

    The 5 Deadliest Pilots

    Kind of off topic, but you know what I really missed from WC3 onward (and I can't remember if WCP let you choose your wingman or not, I haven't played it in forever)- being forced to fly with certain wingman. I always kind of thought the idea of picking your wingman detracted from the...

    BREAKING NEWS: Three New HD Videos (May 10, 2007)

    hehe, it'd be sweet to see some WC1 or 2 era wrecks in there like a ralari, bengal, or (probably no way but would it be great) pieces of a confederation class :)

    BREAKING NEWS: Three New HD Videos (May 10, 2007)

    Is that an upside WCP Confed transport rammed into the side of the asteroid in the boneyard video? (I think it's a Pelican Class?)

    The Best Games Never Published

    hahaha, Duke Nukem Forever, though they keep saying "It's coming, It's coming!"

    Star Trek, and lesser SF franchises (was "Movies to see")

    Yeah, but that can be applied to religion in general.

    Random Q's from an annoying Newb

    WC Mod for ST: Bridge Commander upcoming!

    You know it's illegal to represent yourself as a lawyer when you're not one, right? (Referring to SecretaryVal)

    Confed+Kilrathi forces during Enyo Capture of 2639

    Wasn't the Fralthi Cruiser introduced in 2654 during WC1? I was under the impression that Confed had never seen the class before that time per some of the mission briefings involving the Fralthi.

    Jalkehi

    Jalkehis were slow Dart DF / Full Gun burst fodder- the rear turret wasn't that bad, the fighter was slow, and it was a large target. I always thought a Jalthi squad was a lot harder to kill (and could kill you faster). Ditto with the Vaktoth, which was fast enough (with its seemingly...

    Cockpits or no Cockpits

    Yeah, but the instrumentation in a car is always there, your attention just isn't focused on it all the time- you're paying attention to the road, but that doesn't make the instrumentation leave your field of vision. I like the idea of cockpit art- it's been mentioned throughout this thread as...

    Let's make awful fan-fic superfighters

    ~~~, the Dragon II- six auto tracking fusion guns(the one shot kill gun from the original dragon), 30 missiles, unlimited cloak / afterburner (with a top speed slightly higher then the fastest missile in the game), and a specialized cloak that allowed firing without decloaking. Oh, and of those...

    C&C 3 Announced

    I dunno, I thought the Yuri expansion fiction was borderline ridiculous, and the Yuri side itself made the game seem unbalanced. You know what I really miss, and where I think Generals could have hit the mark, but missed wildly? I really enjoyed how the first C&C employed propaganda and...

    C&C 3 Announced

    I know what Loaf is saying- all of the C&C's except for Tiberian Sun featured pulp sci fi technology that was modern day technology with a "Popular Mechanics" style spin- for example, tanks with laser defense systems, or orbital Reagan-esque "Star Wars" style Ion Cannons. More or less...

    C&C 3 Announced

    I actually like the interface and play of Generals better then red alert or C&C... but Generals didn't even bother with a plot, other then that GLA was the "pointlessly "evil" side everyone beats up on." Personally, I'd rather C&C 3 built off of Generals style game play with Tiberium Dawn style...

    C&C 3 Announced

    Last I heard, Red Alert 3 was in development, not tiberium twilight- I think the announcment was from a year ago- check the cncden site.
