    Split-screen games for the XBox 360

    For the love of God, get Rock Band (If you go with this). Guitar Hero is so much worse than Rock Band. I HIGHLY recommend Rock Band because it is a tonne of fun if you have at least 3 people in your party. In addition to the tracks on both discs (You can import the songs from Rock Band 1...

    Armchair Quarterbacking

    That's what separated us from the Cats though, our ability to show mercy. When a power sues for peace (historically speaking) most human cultures have accepted that, not launched full-scale attacks. Furthermore, since the Kilrathi were suing for peace, the brass probably figured that they...

    An old box i found

    Wow, never seen that before. Ah, 5.25" disks. I believe my Secret Missions 2 (or maybe it's Secret Missions 1) disks are the 5.25" ones. I think I've got a few of those drives around my place somewhere. Should pop them in and install everything again.

    I really need to re-read Fleet Action again.

    And didn't seem to hold much real sway with the Imperial family near the end either because they thought his thinking was too alien (and it seemed that others thought the same thing, a lot of those around him (if I remember correctly) didn't seem to hold him in the highest regard (just what his...

    Which wingman of all time would you take to Kilrah?

    If I had the choice of 3, like you do in the game it would be: Spirit Angel Flint Three of the most dependable wingmen I ever flew with. They all pulled my ass out of the fire at one point. Back-up would have to be Hunter.

    Yes, but Baron Jukaga was the exception rather than the rule, and even he didn't understand their behaviours prior to studying humans for quite some time.

    Destruction of the Vesuvius/Black Lance

    To attempt to justify things here (mind you there is nothing to entirely support this: 1) The Vesuvius had to be destroyed in order to make sure that Blair could actually make it to Earth. If the Vesuvius were left active she could have radioed earth (Provided that Blair made it through her...

    What would you have done differently?

    Absolutely nothing, I just don't like these whole "you're the son of a legend" things, it's kinda cliched anymore (and it really was back then).

    What would you have done differently?

    I'm sure this has been done in the past, but I'm curious to see new answers here. If you had to change something about the WC games, what would it be? Would you save Spirit? Make Tolwyn not a traitor? Change the traitor in WCII to Stingray? Take your pick: 1) Wing Commander/Secret...

    Which Wing Commander game have you played the least?

    Actually, I think an appearance from Iceman wouldn't have done anything for me. "Hunter" on the other hand would have, he was one of my favs! Regardless, the only thing that would've made things better in WC2 for me would have been switching Angel and Spirit. But now we're getting...

    Sorry, yeah, I'm thinking Vesuvius :P It's been a while.

    True, they did seem to think that attacks on unarmed civilians was "cowardly" (see Forstchen books and some of the cutscenes in the Special Operations add-ons). However, it also seems that certain segments had deemed Humans as lower than prey and they were to all be exterminated with extreme...

    Leeches

    I used Leech guns/missiles sparingly (all non-guilty confed pilots ejected, all Black Lance died in my mind). However, with the exception of the first run through, I ALWAYS used the leeches on the Lexington. I couldn't justify the flash pack killing the hundreds (or thousands) of innocents on...

    Which Wing Commander game have you played the least?

    Secret Ops for me. I felt really detached from that game and have only completed it twice. I think it really suffered from lack of WC style interaction and engrosement. Most played would definetely be a tie between WC1 and WC2. Both were fantastic games that kept my attention (and remember...

    Wing Commander 3 Ranked 14 on gamedaily.com

    I think that was the point of the ending. To make people think. When you're put in the situation where it is literally them or you, what would you do? If you knew that if you didn't destroy the Kilrathi Homeworld that the Kilrathi would over-run and destroy Earth and all of her people, as...

    Jazz's loyalties.

    It's more likely that he distorted it himself, to justify his anger and hatred.

    Jazz's loyalties.

    Yes, that's true, but it's all in perceptions I guess. I highly doubt that two hornets taking out a Dorkir affected the Claw's ETA

    Jazz's loyalties.

    Ah! But if you look up the dialogue (I can't find it right now), I do believe that he makes reference to the fact that the Claw diverted from her course to take out troop transports on her way to Goddard (which was a mission in the SM1 if I am remembering correctly), which resulted in the...

    Jazz's loyalties.

    My guess is that he was responsible for informing the Kilrathi of the Claws whereabouts and intended mission. However, I do have to ask about the "Trophies" bit, where was it said that he took trophies from his victims?
