    Guns in WCP

    The only thing I hated about the plasma was on the odd occasion near the end of a long mission, some stupid wingman would fly in front of you as you fired on something. Next thing you know its kaboom, followed by "I can't believe you'd turn on me like that!", and its back to the start of the...

    Prophecy

    The deluxe version also has a "limited edition" patch and poster. So if you're a serious WC collector its probably better to go for that. Actually if its a European Deluxe version, then it has P1 included as well. As for WCP - I think its worth the extra to get the gold version (but then I...

    Slightly unrelated April Fool stuff

    Um, I know this isn't really WC related, but did anyone see the official Star Wars site? It had a green and black site (alah the old green screens), and a heap of updates about the "current" making of "Empire Strikes Back". The site is dated 1979. Not bad at all actually - it made me wonder...

    Pc Gameplay List

    Well actually "yes" ... if you read some of the writings that you can find of Hitler's, you'll see that he did admire the English race since they were of similar Aerian (spelling?) stock to the Germans (I won't go into the irony of Hitler being a short, dark, Austrian). He would have prefered to...

    Another reason was of course the fact that Hitler actually admired the British and wanted them to be an ally - he had no initial plans to fight them/invade them.

    Pc Gameplay List

    I'm not going to try and correct you here, cos I think you're pretty much right, but it is interesting that the Spitfire did not actually play such a big role in the BofB as many people think. It was the old workhorse Hurricane that did the majority of the fighting. This material-and-sticks...

    WC3 Final Mission

    Ah I actually didn't read all the rest of the posts before I replied to that last one (a bad habit of mine). I was only referring to the game ... not having read the book. I didn't realise that the book claims Hobbes killed Vaquero. My apologies. As for thinking that was what Hobbie was...

    WC3 Final Mission

    Hmm, I'm assuming that when you say "someone who KNOWS this" you are indicating that I wouldn't have a clue?? I wonder should I be offended :) Anyone who's played WC3 and can follow a plotline would KNOW that Vaquero gets killed in the attack on the Victory while you're away. LOAF's burden...

    Cant buy WCP "Secret Ops" = HELP

    I actually wrote to EA to ask about this offer (since I got a copy of prophecy, before I managed to get prophecy gold), and I never heard back from them :( If I had a dollar for everytime I'd written to a big name company's "contact-for-help" email address, and got no reply ... well ... um...

    Cant buy WCP "Secret Ops" = HELP

    Was that the one with the CD? It actually comes up every week, and I bid every week, but never get it :-) Its quite funny really, because it sells for "buy now" at $15, and nobody ever buys it, but then the bidding usually goes up to $15 anyway ... ah the joys of ebay ! I'm sort of hoping...

    Cant buy WCP "Secret Ops" = HELP

    You can still download the first episode I believe (which is about 100MB), but none of the extra episodes. I don't know why EA have left the initial download online still, because its not much use unless you want to play the first episode over and over again. Maybe its to encourage people to get...

    WC3 Final Mission

    I think the point Hobbie's making is that you will DEFINITELY lose Vaquero if you go after Hobbes when you get the first opportunity. Whereas losing wingmen later on depends on your ability to protect them/send them home/not kiss some other girl in front of them/ etc, etc. :) If you pick the...

    P2 Deluxe win9x is still a Topseller!

    Actually you can get it from Starvector for $24.95 I think it is... in theory anyway. He promises to match any other prices online, and CDACCESS do P2 Deluxe for $25 (I think its 25 - something like that anyway). So I wrote to Starvector and he said he'd match that price. That's "in theory"...
