    [BWR] The HQ

    Changes in 1.6: - "Battle" is now affectionately referred to as "Deathmatch." - Several unused maps floating about have been enable for play. - DC Uprising now has ore mines to extend game length. - The Chrono Tank and MAD Tank have been retired for good. - Included tons of small graphical and audio tweaks... - You may build off more than just your allies' construction yard. - Restored America's paradrop ability using a radar upgrade plug. - The veterancy system has been slightly adjusted. Abrams Tank - American special Large and in charge, the American Abrams Tank is devastation on treads. It packs the strongest cannon in the game, even outdoing the mighty Apocalypse Tank. The shells tear through vehicles and structures with supreme ease... but the fun doesn't stop there, oh no! The Abrams Tank packs machine gunners to strike squads of infantry and even Terror Drones. Credits: spiderman_2099 (voxel & cameo) Avenger - British special The British have taken prism and laser technology to new heights with their new Avenger... and that's quite literal, as well. The British Avenger is a superb anti-air vehicle that will knock any aircraft out of the sky in mere seconds. While packing a strong defensive weapon, the Avenger has no ground attack ability and has armor that's no more durable than a Prism Tank, nor is it suited for anti-missile operations. Credits: Holmes (voxel) Chrono MLRS - French special Like its counterparts, the Chrono MLRS zips about with little delay. Instead of packing a temporal displacement weapon, the French's new toy packs a missile launcher near the back of the vehicle. The missile it fires is special in itself as it fragments upon striking an infantry or vehicle, spraying the area with smaller missiles. Credits: Napalm (voxel & cameo) Panther Tank - German special The Panther Tank is capable of firing two very distinct tank shells. There's the usual that's excellent against armor columns but not so effective against infantry. However, the Panther uses special ammunition against structure targets that is much more explosive... the Panther's specialized shells can shatter any structure with just a few rounds. Credits: CannisRabidus (voxel) Stingray - Korean special The Koreans continue with their zeal for aerial superiority with the Stingray... and superior it is! While not heavily armored, the Stingray is exceptionally fast and effective at delivering its payload. As a bonus, the Stingray is outfitted with the same plating as the Nighthawk, making it invisible on enemy radar. However, this left a slight flaw in the targeting mechanisms that has, thus far, been impossible to trace. To counter this, the Stingray's payload is now a canister bomb instead of a missile. Credits: Stingerrr (voxel) Tirhanov Heavy Tank - Russian special The Russians with a heavy tank? No one ever thought up that one before! Anyway, the Tirhanov Heavy Tank sports a 135mm tank cannon, which, in itself, is capable of tearing through heavy armor and structures rather quickly... infantry are still resistant as per normal tank weapons. However, the Tirhanov is more than just a tank... it is a transport as well. Up to five infantry can hunker inside, ready for a sneaky attack. Better watch for veteran Tesla Troopers waiting inside! Credits: Daz (voxel), Daz & Lee (cameo), Lee (name), Nology5890 (unit concept) Hind - Cuban special Yet another amazing notion for the Soviets: a Hind attack chopper! Shock and awe... heh. On to business... the Hind is like it was in the previous conflict in that it uses a heavy caliber machine gun. However, in the current war, the Hind comes packed with missile launchers for effective armor destruction. Even with the new firepower, the Hind is best used as an infantry support unit. Credits: Lefthand (voxel) Rad Artillery - Iraqi special The Iraqis continue with their deadly use of nuclear components. In this version, the Iraqis are using nuclear waste products inside of standard-fare tank shells. On contact, the shell releases the nuclear waste in a bionuclear cloud of death. Infantry will surely die but if not, the radiation left behind will do the job. Vehicles and structures are more resistant to the fallout and chemicals but repeated firing will surely wear down any vehicle. Credits: spiderman_2099 (voxel), Speeder & Paradox (cameo) Deathshard - Libyan special While inaccurate, the Deathshard's mortar shots explode violently, sending shards of debris flying in every direction. Don't be fooled. The debris is more destructive than it appears, causing substantial damage to infantry and even to tanks. However, unlike most Soviet units, the Libyan's new toy is not very heavily armored but is very speedy... making it an excellent hit and run unit. Credits: Apollo (voxel & cameo), Nology5890 (unit naming)

    Been A While, eh Lads

    What is up, my dudes! I've had a long hiatus from roaming around these parts. Life's been keeping me busy, especially work. What with my silent promotions to ecommerce project lead and to the one remaining web developer on staff. But the big change is that your dear ol' Doctor D is undergoing gender transition therapy! So yes, I am one of those people. So whutchu people been up for the last year? Waiting for the Remasters no doubt. Cause I sure as hell am.
  4. Not sure if this was ever posted anywhere but if it was, it's probably time for a refresh. Here's what I have in my collection right now. Even now, it's not 100 percent accurate. xD Yes, those are two RA2 WTC boxes. And there's two Premier Editions on the end. Oh, and Total Destruction is an unofficial addon, but I got the box! I can't find anything about the Ion Cannon blast RA cover art. Does anyone know anything about it? The one in the folding slip is a Thai version of RA1. I need a second Platinum Edition. The one I have has a lot of damage. Mac Generals! yay I got a complete Worldwide Warfare with the folding cardboard case. I have two more, but I don't have the thick jewel case variant yet. SOON I HOPE! Soundtracks! I finally got me a C&C1 OST! wheee! Bonus Simcity! xD I got a proper Special Edition box!

    I mean, I guess? I'm not really one, I just pretend to be one at work. xD

    I didn't have as much teenager cringe on here since I've been an adult for most the time I've been here... lol
  7. I'm ready for these boxes to arrive. They will look great with the rest of my C&C collection.
  8. Been playing it recently. Still as hard as it used to be. Could've done us a favor and fixed the pathfinding but, all in all, it's fantastic. Sadly, this remaster does show all of the gameplay flaws in all their HD glory.

    C&C Remasters - FMVs

    After watching a few, they should have just left them the original size. They don't uh... look that good honestly.

    Anime

    I did KanColle for a while but Azur Lane just got me hooked. I quite enjoy it.

    Anime

    The last anime I've really had any interest in was Azur Lane. Wonderful shipgirl waifus~
  12. End of the world? Not really. This will be a temporary roadblock that will eventually pass. It's nothing compared to previous pandemics, at least in terms of deaths. Diseases happen. Some spread like wildfire like this one has but it will get to the point that most people are either immune or are tempered against it. It's why the 1918 flu, which was H1N1 by the way, hasn't come back to haunt us. A century's worth of exposure will do that. With the advent of vaccines, the pandemic can potentially be stopped in its tracks once an effective one is delivered. I'm not too sure about overreach as much as some are claiming. The quickest way to lose an argument is to overstate it and I think that's happened here. In fact, these are functionally identical measures that sprung from the 1918 flu pandemic. Admittedly, the economic shutdown is more drastic and somewhat unnecessary if people at large aren't fucking idiots. Unfortunately, we all know how absolutely moronic the public at large really is. Regardless, I don't see this stifling of the world's economy as being beneficial any longer. Unless something changes drastically, I don't see it actually getting all that much worse, even if we reopen. That said, fuck the office. I can work from home until this shit isn't gonna fucking murder me. Let's hear it for being in the "increased risk" section of the population. Hooray for heart conditions (not).

    Fair enough but I really haven't changed names in a while. Just sticking with those two. What else you been up to? Aside from not having a house, touring and being a stooge? o.o
  14. I wonder if that applies to all non-English copies of the game. I have French and German discs. Worth a check I suppose.

    Now Playing - Games

    Mainly the new MW. The Damascus grind is real.
  16. LRG having delays? That's a shocker. Even without a virus rampaging around, LRG has a stunningly bad track record of delivering in a timely manner. Everything I've bought from them has been delayed so this is no surprise.

    Actually, I've not changed my name in quite a long time. I really only go by Doctor Destiny and The Astronomer these days. Since I've been, more or less, not around for a long time, I started gender transition, started working a full time job in 2015 and have moved from the bottom level of support to leading a department, among other responsibilities like bailing out gen tech and being the only web dev on staff. Stress from that kinda caused me a lovely psychotic break this week. So there was that too.

    Confusing is a good word. I mean, I'm a girl now. Among other things. lol

    Woah. Crazy seeing you around again.

    Ya girl is still floating around too. I'm always lurking... hiding in the shadows...

    Returning After 2 Years

    In my long absence from this place, I started gender transition, started working hard towards being a full time web developer and have found a super wonderful boyfriend who I'm working on seeing (he lives in the UK and I do not). I should be getting a legal name change this year too. Besides that, I'm still a C&C fangirl and collect PC games and I have quite a collection.

    Almost a year in and it's getting... different. I expect year 2 to be a lot more productive. Well yeah. I'm just out of my mind pretty much. xD
  23. Multiple times in fact. :p And it probably won't be, but acting like it's bad in an alpha state is just poor form.
  24. What? A pre-alpha game isn't fucking perfect? Someone stop the presses. Let's all bitch about a game that's not even RC worthy! I don't like the game and won't play it, but I'm not going to act like it's going to be abysmal based on the alpha. ALPHA! Not even beta. An alpha.

    This is happening too soon for 32-core CPUs!

    You can have 128 cores but it won't mean a hell of a lot unless the software uses it. It's cute that they think the number of cores means a hell of a lot.
