WC isn't real life Quarto. And just because it happens in real life doesn't mean it makes it a good story or that it cannot be overused in a story. WC is a story. Therefore it can be overused. Because it isn't real. It's a story. Earthworm: WC sold games because of its gameplay far more than...

Of course Earthworm, people thought "You know, if it wasn't for that traitor plot, this game would have sucked." The reason they were so popular is because they were so different from everything out there and were wonderful games. Saying that they were popular because of the traitor plot is the...

Actually I've watched the video several times (Someone else brought this up and I wanted to check it out myself) and one of the towers does fall through. Now whether that was just the artists work or someone at Origin wanting to have an out I don't know. But remember the sacred rule - If you...

Earthworm, Earthworm, did I say the GAMES were bad? Did I say the overall stories were bad? No, I didn't say any of these but I still apparently confused you somehow. My ranking for WC games goes like this: WC2, WC4 (or vice versa - they flipflop alot for me), WC3, WC1, Prophecy. All I said was...

The alliance idea is O.K. except for the fact that Confed is kicking the bugs butts easily. Now having the Kilrathi join them in an assualt on Bug territory through the gate would be cool. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no...

Semantics Earthworm, semantics. They still overused a traitor as a plot device. WC4 did do a fantastic job of it, though. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no others, for I am free. http://www.ntr.net/~vondoom

Also don't forget that CR has nothing to do with Prophecy or anything else WC anymore. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no others, for I am free. http://www.ntr.net/~vondoom

Yes, the traitor subplot did get tiresome by the end. While they were imaginative about how each was a traitor, there was still a traitor in 3 straight games. I still don't know which one threw me more for a loop, Hobbes or Tolywn. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but...

I'm saying generating an impervious shield on a small fighter is silly, A large base is one thing but a small fighter should not be able to. I don't like anything that makes me invincible, even if only for 10 seconds, ruins the entire mood of the game for me ------------------ There is no God...

Wasn't it in '56? Anyway, this series will rock! ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no others, for I am free. http://www.ntr.net/~vondoom

Because Mario is a game for little children. WC on the other hand is sold and a SIMULATION and as such should at least have a modicum of realism. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no others, for I am free...

Actually the first appearence of the Death Blossom is in the movie The Last Starfighter, though the Pkunk get nods for the first game appearence of such technology. P.S. Stunner - What point is there in your uber tech ship? Where is the fun and challenge and most importantly, imaganation in...

For GOD's sake Penguin be quiet. We mustn't wake him. j/k Earthworm ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no others, for I am free. http://www.ntr.net/~vondoom

Not meaning to be offensive Stunner, but did you simply tack on every WC weapon you ever made as well as several other scifi techs into one monster ship? Superweapons are the worst staple of sci-fi and are totally overdone. Who would build such a thing and why? And why is it apparently cobbled...

Umm... but he can't copyright someone's ship, even if he redesigns it. I couldn't modify an X-wing design and call it mine. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no others, for I am free. http://www.ntr.net/~vondoom

Ok, If you see a ship cloak you can usually take them out because they do not manuever enough. You are still completely vunerable to attacks. Trust me, I have taken out many a cloaked fighter and in WC4 other Dragons could somewhat see you. The Mace can kill you just as easily as your enemy if...

I'm sorry, I just can't take seriously any invincibility shield period. 10 seconds is a massive amount of time in a close in dogfight and when you are the only ship that seems to use this "Technology" is silly. The only reason it is there is a power-up for supposedly tough battles. It is...

What Quarto is speaking about is that they should have put a frame limiter into the game. There is no reason not to do this other than laziness. Tons of games from as early as '88 onwards have them. It is simply a good idea to put such things in a game so that its shelf life is longer. The HUD...

Strike Commander and Armada are the same engine. The planetside missions were nothing but WC with ground. There was no gravity or anything. Strike Commander was the original build so Origin could create a 3D engine for WC, Armada was another early testbed with further refinements and WC3 was the...

Penguin: The original release of Strike Commander was plauged with problems and bugs. It barely ran on a top of the line system (when it was released) and crashed freqently. Origin quickly fixed these bugs since the game was a testbed of the WC3 engine and CR wanted everything perfect...
