Oops, I meant to say 10 Retros. Sorry bout that. As for Hobbes, he was on our side. The Kilrathi in Priv are not. If that same huds are realistic then why is every cockpit in every fighter in the world different. They may be similar but not exactly the same. I enjoyed the different cockpits...

This will prob be my last post on this subject since it is mainly a diff of opinion and nothing really that important. Missles are highly effective in Privateer. With a loadout of 20 missles you are virtually guarenteed to take out 20 retro ships. Fire a pair of them and most ships are taken...

What ship???? post a link to it or something. Just saying you have a ship doesn't mean anything, no offense. Post a link or tell me how to see or get a description of it and I will gladly look at it. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my...

You have to have an idea for anyone to reply to it ------------------ 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

Earthworm: to reply to some of your points. The inablility to skip navpoints and having to travel through everyone with a good chance of having to deal with pirates can be very very tedious. One trip might take 2 minutes and another through the same route can take 15 is you are unlucky. Every...

I never said it was a screw-up, I said it might be a left over piece of legecy code. Remember Strike Commander is the original build for the WC3/4 engine and maybe something Jemm related had to be modified to allow the game to run DOS4GW. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No...

Like Origin finished Prophecy without MP, like they finished the Prophecy series, like the finished Strike Commander or Ultima: Ascension? I personally wouldn't think Origin would have that much place to talk about finishing things they start. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No...

Well lets make some comparisons Gameplay wise of the two. Trading: Here they are about even. While in P2 there are tons more items to trade, the nav system of P2 is horrible. Add in the fact that if you run into pirates you practically have to fight them because it takes forever to get away...

Actually the story was the 2nd weakest thing, the worst offender was the worst enemy AI (excepting the Devil Ray) since Priv 2. Never before in a game did so many hundreds die before me with such ease. Thank goodness for WCPCrazy ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but...

If you load up WC3, you will see that it says DOS4GW as it starts to load up. It uses that memory manager. The Jemm files might be there as part of some legacy code since Armada is a early build of the WC3 engine I believe (Am I right on this? I know Strike Commander is the original build of the...

They cannot run in Win95 because they both use their own memory manager (Jemm I think?) that is completely incompatable with anything Windows. That was before the good ole days of DOS4GW. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no...

Thats something I've never really gotten either. WC combat feels nothing at all like WWII in space. If you want that, then you pop any of the X-Wing series. That feels like WWII in space. WC always felt far more modern to me, in the way the ships handle, the punishment they can take (wxcept in...

In that cutscene the ship that Tolwyn is looking at is clearly the Vesuvius class. Look at the points at the front and how far they stick out... thats the big girl alright. ------------------ There is no God but myself. No destiny but what I deem for me. I walk my path and no others, for I am...

Well, the biggest problem in Armada is the fighter limit on screen at one time. It was silly to limit 2 fighters to each side. And saying that graphics limitation at the time is bs because it played perfect as soon as i got it and easily could have handled more fighters, but then again AI was...

Ice Viper: Calling Diablo a RPG is really stretching it. The Ultima series, the Fallout series, Planescape: Torment, Balder's Gate series. These are real role-playing games. Diablo series while fun, is nothing more than mindless hack and slash action click-fest. A real RPG must have a real story...

Yeah, the last original space sim was Independence War due to its realism with real space physics. Other games had done it before but never well. ------------------ 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...

Yeah, but then we get into the old arguement of how they could have been there so long and convince people that they were there for 6000 years? Unless you want to pull a time travel thing. The reason you get sent solo in the games is because you are one of the best. You can't jump without the...

EA is what happened. It started out good (WC4 would not have been the game it was without them) then quickly started cutting budgets and nipping ideas. Now Origin is on the Online RPG kick (thanks to over a million dollars in revenue every month) and until that cash cow dies, there probably...

Actually CR said in an interview that the movie was loosely based on WC1. And not argueing here at all, Earthworm, what events are you talking about? None come to my mind but I've probably forgotten several things. And I never said the WCM was bad. It is an average sci-fi movie for me overall...

Origin will be making no more Single player games for the time being and no WC MP games will be made as well. ------------------ 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
