  1. It will still be enough. At this point, ZH is limited by its engine, not the machine it runs on.

    Did you actually play Generals, Jeff? The game that ends with the United States failing and China becoming the new superpower? Whose cancelled sequel didn't even feature the USA as a faction anymore?

    Greg Burdett WWN reports from Aleppo

    BBC never claimed that 160 people left - they reported that Russia claimed that 160 left. Also, the Russia Today (seriously, Russia Today?) report spoke of "dozens" of people. A dozen is twelve people, so 160 qualifies for "dozens". If it was significantly more (say, 300+ people), they probably would have said "hundreds". What exactly are you complaining about?

    Installing on Win10

    Well, I can't make any personal guarantees, but plenty of other people have no issues running the CnC.net version under 10. RA2 and YR should rune fine with the community patch. If have still have issues, check this FAQ.

    Installing on Win10

    All games up to Tiberian Sun have been released as freeware and are available on CnC.net, ready to be played under a modern OS. I recommend you get those versions. Generals doesn't work under 10 due to copy protection issues unless you install a no CD fix, which is included in the unofficial TFD patch. Everything from Tiberium Wars upwards should run fine (I think).

    Let's Play Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Co-op

    The first Japanese mission isn't overly exciting. As the Soviets, we defended Leningrad. As the Allies, we saved Britain. Here, we interrupt the New Year celebrations. Woh. Rising Sun Mission 1: The Death of Father Frost

    No Man's Sky

    To me, it looks mostly like another one of those resource gathering/crafting games. A fancy one, but not the ultimate universe explorer it was supposed to be. If I ever buy it, I'll get it when the price is way down. For me, these games tend to be the most exciting thing ever... for two hours , then I get bored and never play them ever again.
  8. I love this track. The funky Jazz bit is pretty amazing.

    Here is the final Allied mission, using the same map as the first Soviet mission. It's not too difficult of a mission, though the final part (destroying the Leningrad Fortress) can be a bit tricky due to the building's insanely long health bar. Allies Mission 9: The Moon Shall Never Have Them

    which version?

    TFD has the latest version (1.04). The Deluxe Edition has the one before the last official patch (1.03).

    I think Homefront is actually quite amusing because it takes itself so damn serious.

    So there is a Pokemon game for the PC!

    Aren't there dozens of fan-made Pokemon games for PC already?

    A fun mission. Turns out Cuba is really into sports. This is also one of those mission where the AI (relative to other games) shines. Giles is quite compete at brining down those airships. More competent than me when I played this mission for the first time! Allies Mission 8: The Great Bear Trap

    The 10 most overhyped PC games

    I agree with that. Many were also disappointed how much worse the game looked compared to the trailer/preview footage, but to be frank, if people still believe E3 trailers, they are fooling themselves.

    I for one love RA3. More than TW, probably - which I also like, but not as much as RA3. I never got why some people hated it so much.
  16. Sweet. I'll definitely play this.

    This isn't all that hard... unless you play with the AI and let it chronoshift onto the mainland. Then you're dead. Allies Mission 7: Forever Sets the Sun

    I love this mission. The evil president heads are just awesome. Allies Mission 6: A Monument of Madness.

    Pokemon Go is a horrible idea

    That wouldn't have happened if we didn't have the Vietnam War in the first place, ha!

    This is lifted straight from 1984, isn't it? Allies Mission 5: The Unfathomable Fortress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAQj8nmJZzk
  21. Well, I haven't modded anything since Hearts of Iron II.
  22. As per title: I would like to change the player colour in the Commander's Challenge. Yellow is my least favourite colour and white is Future Tech's actual colour anyway.

    We now fight alongside the Soviets! What could possibly go wrong? Allies Mission 4: Enemy of my Enemy
  24. Changing all 50 maps sounds like a lot of work. Would it be possible to generally change the colour of the yellow player to white? Like a palette swap? So both the white and the yellow player appear white?
  25. Ah, then it's probably too much of a hassle.
