*still confused*

Yes, that would make me a believer (even though it'd be impossible since P2 takes place over a century after). That's the main reason why we aren't quick to accept P2 into WCU--because nothing before or after (WCP came out afterwards) supports it. Origin may have created P2, but that doesn't...

It's probably impossible now--you'd have to have the disk version, and I'm sure our moderators would not appreciate any discussion of piracy options. ;) If you never heard it then it'd be easy to like Burrough's voice in Gold; if you had heard it you'd agree that he sounds wimpier in...

It probably was mentioned in an Origin statement release -- but it makes sense, since they would be the biggest advocates of considering P2 a WC product. PeteyG we're probably beating a dead horse...this argument will be around (and unresolved) as long as there are WC fans.

True enough--it'd surely spark up some good controversy. Let me get my thinking cap on...

The Strakha in WC2 have dumbfire missile loadouts. A salvo of DFs could easily take out the Claw. That's the curse of being squadron commander--the responsibility for a disaster like the Claw's destruction had to pinned on someone. Remember what Hawk warned Maniac about when he finally got...

My thoughts exactly. Great game though.

No matter how well SF and Marines have merged, it's realistic to assume that there is certainly some tension between the two...not even 700 years of evolution could dilute that. In WC we get scant insight into this rivalry -- one indirect clue is Big Duke's comment in End Run "Hell, even...

Yup. Similar in name to the near-abandoned agricultural base in Ragnarok, Gemini.

I don't know about everyone else, but I didn't feel like I had as much control of my wing in WCP as in earlier WCs. I've played the entire game without once telling my wing to break-and-attack; they always advance once the enemy is sighted. In the other WC games, if I didn't give the command...

Good point. Fariss and Humboldt would be the only logical quads for pirates to set up bases. Clarke's too close to the border, and Potter is the cultural center so it's swarming with Confed and militia patrols. Theoretically there could be more boarded-up systems like Eden that pirates...

That would get my vote. Maybe we should do a poll eh?

Thanks!

I thought it was the flak also, but the timing was simply too coincedental -- the damage occurred the SECOND I released, and this would happen whether or not the capship exploded. You can imagine my relief in WC3 when I realized that guns and missiles could *once again* be used on phase...

Yeah, I noticed the tractor beam sound at Gaea. But I don't see why recycling would have been necessary, since the add-on accesses numerous objects from P1. After I beat RF the first time I played around with my hex editor and changed my Centurion's guns to Steltek (08 for the unboosted...

"Supership" is inherent in the definition of dreadnought, even in naval terms. IIRC, the only thing special about the Kilrathi dreadnought in the losing Sol system mission (WC3) was its size and shielding. It took me the better part of half an hour to toast that monster! Haven't tackled it...

Nope. I tried from several different ranges--sometimes at a closer range I'd get away unscathed; other times at longer ranges I'd take a hit. I just assumed that's the way it was and accepted it since it didn't keep me from progressing in the game.

I never said I didn't like the game--it's not as good as P1, but I find myself replaying it often to this day. I feel the game could have done well as a stand-alone, but ORIGIN knew that they could attract their large WC-fan base by trying to tie it into WC. Certainly the storyline before...

In WC2 I often had problems with my torpedo grazing me every time I fired on a capship. It did its intended damage, but I'd lose a lot of armor in the process. If I was flying a weaker ship like a Ferret or Epee, I'd surely have been toast. BTW, I do recall Epees being strapped with a...

I have NEVER played this mission without ALL of my wingmen getting shot down before they even get within range of those capships. If you want something done (you guessed it) you gotta do it YOURSELF....
