LOAF, nope, what I mean is the explosions for capships suck, the gun appearances go back to the wc1-2 style of "ball" weapons vs the streaks of energy that one sees in WC3/4 which I contend is much more realistic, the cutscenes in wc both the ones with actors and without were better in WCIV. Ect, this is what I mean.

My 5 "glorius" moments...
1. Killing more then 70 bugs in the final mission in WCP on nightmare
2. To see the cutscenes in WC3
3. Using the Plasma Cannon on board the Devastator to take out fighters
4. After the first mission in WC1 getting a Bronze Medal and promotion to 1st Lt.
5. To end WCIV the right way

Hm, lets see whether I'll get five together. Do you mean past, present or future? I'll take all.
1)The information which will maybe come one day, that a new WC will come out.
2) To get WC4 running on my K6, 350MgH with Win98.
3) Also the last P. mission without being killed.
4) The first WC mission I played,of P and thinking 'wow, you need more of that'.
5)The way I will ever bring Wc4 to an end. It doesn't matter whether it is the 'right one' but it should be AN end!
6) (just optional) seeing the graphic of WC4 on my PC (LOL, the first moment I thought my PC 'dies' the hero death. Then just: Turn it off! Turn it off! and then my screen was black and the PC rebooted.) That should be no. 1 in the list. It was the best experience I ever had.

Tough call:
Best moments:
1)WC1, everything in it!

3)Managing to outrun the Steltek drone in Priv
4)Watching the WC4 cutscenes
5)Seeing the graphics in WCP
Saddest moments:
1)Blowing Kilrah up
2)Realizing that Hobbes is the traitor
3)Spirit's death
4)Angel's death
5)Realizing that Tolwyn is the bad guy (but he was a darn good bad guy!)

WCP has worse graphics than WCIV? You must be playing Prophecy in software mode. I never seen the game in software mode so I couldnt really say either way. I dont know if there are many games anymore still rendering in software mode, since just about any computer you get off the shelf has a good 3D vid card nowadays. Might invest in one soon if I were you.

I am sorry but I only took the FIVE saddest moments. Vagabond's death was sad indeed, but not as sad as Angel's or Spirit's, probably because he was introduced later. I did not include Bossman's death either, although I found it very sad too. But for you, I will add those two deaths:
Saddest moments (continued):
6)Vagabond's death
7)Bossman's death

Problem with the movie for me was, that except for the names, it had nothing in common with the games. If it hadn't been called Wing Commander, I could have enjoyed it very much.
And of course that Pilgrim shit was just so ********* (IMO).
(mpanty, speaking of nitpicking: Are you sure you felt sorry for Bossman and Angel in SO2? I knew humans are mentally slow but that is really amazing.

I think you mean SM2, not SO2. The addons for WC1 are called Secret Missions, the addons for WC2 Special Operations. And as Bossman died in SM2, it would have been a bit late to feel sad just in SO2.
Plus, I do not think you get a Pewter Planet in SO1, but in WC1/SM2 (in SM1 you "only" get a Gold Star)
(I told you, I was nitpicking )
BTW: Now that the WCP addon (or supplement or whatever, I do not want to start that topic again) has been called Secret operations, I wonder if the next will be called Special Missions.

Once again, the Kilrathi are victorious.
Ehm... I'm not sure... we'd have to ask LOAF... what's for sure, is that you can only get the Pewter Planet on TWO occasions in the whole WC1 campaign (including SM1 and 2)

I think you can trust me on this one, but if it pleases you
Next? There will be a next? When? When?
