Armada's addon...

Just wandering, what is the Armada addon? What's *new* about it and what are ALL the details?

There's an add-on for Armada? Is it fan made or official?

The Armada addon is a free download called Proving Grounds which includes new multiplayer features, and allows play over the IPX protocol.

Where can you cet it?

I can't quite remember where, since it has been a while since I've downloaded it, but I know it's somewhere at the Origin web site (but then, where else would it be

?). There's probably also a link to it from the CIC's Files page.

Great! So all I need to do now is try to make my Armada to work (but that's another thing...).
Thanks!

A few notes about Proving Ground (since I seem to be one of the only six people who actually played it
wink.gif
).

It added some fricking cool new stuff. The *BEST* WC asteroids ever were in proving grounds -- it had little ones, medium ones and huge-ones. You could hide behind them and be obscured from radar.

It had a mode of play where you collected new weapons and shield upgrades as you fought another ship in a deathmatch. There was some nifty new stuff like an anti-cloaking weapon, too.

LOAF: I played it. 'Twas great fun to play on my school's network. Too bad most of the other players were newbies

I didn't play it, but I saw others with it. I didn't have a computer at the time. There were some of the best specator matches I have ever seen.

Ah, the memories. I remember this one game where I underestimated my opponent (never, ever do that
smile.gif
). Got half of my Jrathek blown off before I even realised what was going on.
Then I got my act together. I didn't get any more damage during that game... But my opponent certainly did

. The spectators were pretty surprised (but quite overjoyed... Nobody liked that other guy
wink.gif
) when my foe finally exploded.

No, I sorta rushed out of the room, got myself a drink, and then ran off.

Don't you think it was a little obvious? Anyhow, it is a good idea because the Earthworm is always right.

Obvious to us it may be, but some people seem to think the General CZone is a cure-all.
