I guess I'm one of those few who like it. The AI is pretty simplistic at lower levels, which is where you want to play it on the Hard level...you start getting beat over the head almost immediately, at least if you play either the Empire at War or Galactic Conquest maps. Different planets have...

As much as I think Standoff ranks as Extreme Excellence for a WC game, I don't blame you guys for hanging up the hats either. I also think that not making a Standoff 2 is rather logical, both from the standpoints of the parallels from Fleet Action and, "chronologically", WC Saga would appear to...

Kind of reminds me of the MiG-31 "Firefox" from the movie with the same name, at least looking at it from the front left-quarter view. Always liked that design, I think it's a rather nice touch on that mod.

Okay...I gotcha now. :D

Understood. The reinstall was kind of what I was thinking last night as well, but I thought I'd wait to see what anyone thought. I'll let you know on this one in a couple of days, as I'm engaged in a few class assignments right now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Okay, so I think I might be missing something somewhere, and I'm not sure what it is. I tried this a while ago, and got the videos going. However, after the first mission or two, the videos stopped working, and it has not allowed me to run them since, as it crashed, saying only that Windows...

BTW, I remember playing with "fire" in the TIE Fighter series. There was a mission where you were flying a TIE Defender (if memory serves) and Vader was leading the flight. In the briefing before it, the briefing officer says at the last part, "Do not give in-flight orders to the Dark Lord"...

Ah yes...I remember buying my first Creative sound card specifically for WC2 on my upgraded 386 PC. Actually, I'd sold the game, bought my card...then the Navy officer I sold it to if I could grab the speech-engine 3.5" disks. Good thing he was a good guy...gave the game a great boost!

Well, with us it's pronounced that way. Some other countries, however, literally say it the way LOAF spelled it out, dashes correct and all. And, uhm...it's really not the highest rank in the military...in a couple of countries, maybe, but in the vast majority, it isn't.

For me, I was highly disappoined in Starshatter: The Gathering Storm. The AI wingmen wouldn't do half the things you told them to, and when they did they ran right into enemy fire, killing themselves inside of the first few minutes. And that was ONLY if you weren't locked onto immediately by...

Man, I forgot just how...insane (and sleep-deprived) Maniac looked!

Yeah, but dustbusters don't disgorge Marines. So, in effect, this'd be like the taser of Dustbusters. :D

Justice? Why bother with justice when the class was little more than the red-shirt ship for WCP anyway? :p

Yeah, Midway was one of my faves to fly off of. Also a challenge to defend against hoardes of Mantas, especially after coming back from losing the always-destroyed Pelican-class transports. Good thing there was that hardy little ship Redeemer around to help out in that...

Heh...love the pester-banter going on here. Seriously guys, I was loving seeing that most of the bars are in the Completed phase. We've all waited some time, we can wait as long as we need to, right? Y'all are awesome. What makes you awesome is the fact that Standoff is great. And free...

LOAF, I'll quite agree with you on the Cloverfield-type of pump-up...obviously look at the similarity of director for each film. In any event, like I (think) I said before, I'll certainly give it a go when it comes around, but I'm just not exactly "turned on" with the way the trailer is...

Yep, been watching NV for a while and I'm checking about three times a week to see if they've actually released "Blood and Fire"...which I just went and did. They say Part One is to be released on December 20th.

And see, that's my issue. The whole thing looks like a spaced-out version of Die Hard to me. I agree with the whole Corvette thing, especially after a WWIII exchange, but one thing disturbs me more than anything else: The JustAboutAlways Logical Spock looking like he's waxing Sylar (since...

I'm very sorry to hear that, Michelle. My condolences to you on this.

Paladin, I'm not sure how legal that is, considering possible copyright infringement issues, but there's a copy of Prophecy Gold on eBay right now that has two days left for bidding wars and is listed at high "bid" price of .99 right now. Might be a good thing to snap up!
