-yeah...and I see leprechauns...so there...

-The 'Tramp Stamp' is the corny tattoo at the bottom of the lower back...Wolfey, sounds like yours was tastefully (and intelligently) done so you are NOT in that category. -As for the smilie...I would so get it on my forehead. :thumbsup:

-Must be some game we have not heard of...any good?? :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

-yes...this is truth. -Urban Assault anyone??? LOL old-school.

-Supreme Commander is one of the best RTSs out there, but not for everyone. -LONG games -Must use STRATEGY not just tactics -Sadly it CAN just become a low-level spamfest (playing on naval maps fixes that for the most part) -World in Conflict is FANTASTIC, and great for FPS guys. -Hop into an ongoing battle only deal with units (no base) and have fun -If you get a good team working together it is EPIC -CAUTION: AIR players are almost all meat heads that do not realize air-power is SUPPORT and everyone else is not supposed to be supporting them... -Universe at War is neat...but they had to crap it WAY down so it could be cross-consoled onto the 360... -Coulda been great (original yet balanced)... -worth borrowing from a friend, but having to use LIVE and play with xbox kids completely kills online. -The BOSS GENERALS home-brew mod for Generals (it is not CnC!!!! EA just whored out the name), is really fun...takes some getting used to...seems overpowered, but it is well balanced. -FREEKIN' Starcraft -There is no real reason to not still be playing this game. -YES...I DO think they are gonna blow it with SC2...it is what they do. -Maelstrom is a little known game, but worth looking into for RTS nuts. -3 faction...3 VERY different factions -The Biological faction DOES NOT SUCK or feel tacked on. -Neat story, fun SinglePlayer...good luck finding MP games. -You must be willing to accept that the people that made it are the opposite of other big game companies...Their coders and play testers where lacking but the creative and RnD guys where top notch. The result is a game that can actually get annoying to play at times, but is worth playing. :thumbsup: -Sins of a Solar Empire...is...different -I was not a huge fan, due to playability issues (VERY difficult to defend and the computer is too psychic) -BIG game with good ideas and interface -A good enough start at Large Scale RTS space games (I know it is not the first) that I will get the next one too. -Rise of Legends is SOOO PRETTY!! -A very nice RiseOfNations game. -3 different factions, from complicated and versatile to bland but POWERFUL. -worth getting just for single player. -Their art department was over funded -Dawn of War is a fun 'skirmishy' game -This one is about expanding...your recourses actually come from holding strategic locations (some times odd out of the way 'strategic' locations ) -Has a Warcraft feel (light research and minimal base-building) -Most non-vehicle units are bought in squads that can be reinforced and individually armed (you can lose a Leader or gunner before grunts) -Alot of factions (As with the tabletop game 40k it was modeled after (I like that game too)) -If you like CnC and do not like to sit and 'turtle' until max tech...this game is for you. -EARTH 2150 and the newer 2160 are great large-scale research HEAVY RTS games...they are more about strategic research and larger scale battle fronts than most are used to. -The research trees for 2150 are MASSIVE and take about 12 hours to fully acquire...as such you must pick a general strategy and try to stuck with it, adjusting it as you gain intel on enemy tech. -2160 keeps a similar feel but is dumbed down for todays gamers. -You must be willing to keep track of alot of stuff while playing...if you forget to research something for 5 mins the enemy has an unrecoverable edge...you also need to know when too stop...if you spend everything on research and have not secured and recourses you will lose, and if you try to complete the research tree you are going to be acquiring technologies you may not need (depending on your opponent) I do have many others but they are the Picassos and not really worth bringing up in general chat. ---So ends Freefall's RTS Chat--- DEBATE! FLAME! AGREE!

:thumbsup: -Oh Noes! Some sort of outsider is spamming us...3000 POSTS!! HAX! HAX! -j/k...I just reinstalled 2142...gotsta patch it.

:thumbsup: -MoPed foo...

:thumbsup: -Ya know...I just pulled out the old engine and but in a small fusion reactor...works wonders.

-Gotsta reload and get a new headset...but...WOOT! :thumbsup: -That is why they made a new class...Engineer. He has a gun that can pop tanks and APCs...the ONE thing the voss can not do (I MISS PICKING ON THE VOSS!)...wait...the voss still can not kill tanks...right? :banana:

-Damn straight...'Strong of stats, weak of character' is NO way to game...and it is NO way to live!

:thumbsup: -Not quite as deep as he thinks...Graphics cards now have the memory to keep casualties around.

- It would be cool if we could back them up on our (Armory) server.

-Be very careful with low respawn times. If someone Airstrikes a spawn point they could kill several people twice.

:o -I know the gas prices are rough Weehee...but to steal it from the source...shame on you. :cool:

\o/ YAY! I like QW...lets kill some strogg!!

-Hey Bio! -Nice intro, always good to learn alittle something about new members. (Like Tom Waits is, in fact, a god (Alice, Little drop of Poison...awesome). :thumbsup:-Love jazz here too. Classic Jazz up to New Age smooth Jazz. Craig Chaquico FTW! -What Martial Arts do you practice? I was into Aikido (FTW!) some time ago, and was giving Hung Gar a shot when I stopped. -Catch you in QW:ET sometime...hopefully I will have some back up on the GDF side as most seem to gravitate to the Strogg. Later!

-Cossu is HACKING US!!!! LoL!!! j/k

-Yeah...it isn't going to happen...but it is an interesting statement. -By 2010 MY computer will probably be able to hold the internet. -IDEA! delete YouTube LoL! problem solved

-Tony Bennett...and I cook to Sinatra.

-I suppose I see where this could be handy...in an actual emergency. That or it will draw spectators (and people that want to sell exclusive cellcam shots to the news) right to the threat.

-I'll admit it...I didn't have the...pair...to say it...but, I am glad it was said.

-I just checked TotalCod4...it is as bad as the official sites fir games...outdated and incomplete data with no actual numbers aplied to anything. -On that note...I wonder why game makers have not started giving out the raw data as a free DL with games...ie. the numerical damage value of each gun etc. (and, yes, I realize not a lot of people would care, but it would not take to much time to compile for the designers)

-UAV IS important. If you are sniping, you can see someone entering your hide. If you are defending, you can see if some mook is flanking sans Jammer. If you are about to run into the open and your UAV shows a single dot in the distance all by itself, you are about to be sniped. If you use C4 (C4 ftw 'SUPER NADES!'), you do not need LoS to know when to set it off. Overall, the UAV gives you a VERY decisive edge in the intel catagory, even if it is "Wow, there are a lot of baddies on the right side of the map!" -As for silencers...even if you have a jammer, when you fire a silenced weapon, you show on the radar. (Bad set up for snipers...no silencers. In non-hardcore mode there is always radar and you show up whenever you fire (non-silenced)...so it is worse. :thumbsup:-Be Sneaky, Be Safe!

-Roger

-I WANNA PLAY TOO!! :question::question:-I can not find it ANYWHERE around here...BAH!
