    Halo Wars 2

    For Halo this change was made purely so you need only 1 button on a controller to change weapons, that's the only motivation for it. It didn't make the games harder at all, just a lot more dull as you don't have the choice. CSGO is an entirely different matter. I did play lots of CS years back, but the huge difference is: you play against humans, you got limited ammo, and limited health. Also that you have to pay for the weapon makes it a strategical decision. In Halo it's basically "yeah whatever, this gun kills stuff just as the other does". Also "regenerating health improved level design by mitigating the factors in place" is a joke considering the buttload of games with obvious chest height walls we got for years and you were like "oh a room full of cover... I wonder if there will be enemy spawns here".
  2. I also see a lot of bugs. All the new ui etc stuff is mostly ripped from the "new experience" thing.

    Halo Wars 2

    You know, that card thing which is in the trailer to be said nothing as anyone else did before looks a lot like Battleforge. Otherwise it looks really good, might pick it up even though I don't like Halo (it basically destroyed the FPS genre for me as they're now all way too easy with regenerating health, only 2 weapons, and other bs).
  4. Is the one you hide the parent of the other?
  5. As the last lines say your ip is whitelisted, not blacklisted. You might get more capchars but that's basically it. If law enforcement comes down on the ip your isp will also if at all only give them relevant data for the given times when malicious use has been detected (if they keep records at all).
  6. What you're forgetting what the PAC does is having the actual ability chained to the ability which handles the cooldown. <SpecialPower id="ModuleTag_DeployIonStormStart" SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_DeployIonStormStart" UpdateModuleStartsAttack="true" /> <SpecialAbilityUpdate id="ModuleTag_OCLSpecialPowerDeployIonStormStart" SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_DeployIonStormStart" UnpackTime="0.1s" ChainedButton="Command_AlienAssaultCarrierDeployIonStorm" /> For the animation it should just be USING_ABILITY_SOMETHING or something like that.
  7. Doesn't work. EA failed a bit when they reworked the streams.

    Obtaining the Night Moves bonus mission now?

    It's an account unlock, so no dl or something. But yes you can play with someone that has it. It's a fun mission so I would be up for it if you want.

    Skirmish match options menu bugged

    Your skirmish cache file got corrupted (and yes it's located in appdata).
  10. Particle system lasers look a lot worse than the laser draw.
  11. You can ask them, but I do not believe they actually use house color for the beams as it would have bugs (always showing the house color of the last rendered game object).
  12. The game doesn't actually use tga files anymore for this stuff. Use bibbers tools to extract the corresponding .dds, and compile it in your cnc3 mod (yes you have to use a mod/modmap). Then create a new text file and rename it to the desired .tga, when you select it in WB the game will check its data for a compiled texture with the same name.
  13. Update to at least 1.7 If that's 1.9 you probably pirated your game or used a broken patcher (which would be weird, if you downloaded it from other servers than EA do a virus scan now).
  14. How about saving the money for important stuff?
  15. I also guess downloading all of them while not having internet at home will be a pain in the butt.
  16. There's like a million times more story in Broforce (which is an awesome game btw).
  17. Well reasoned arguments from jist, color me impressed.
  18. There's nothing Gothic about it but that's very dark.

    PC Gamer's Top 100 Games (2016 edition)

    That list seems quite random.
  20. Models don't have the required contrast in their textures to be able to see details clearly. They are still a black/dark grey blob.
  21. Because: 1. it takes up a lot more space 2. you need to parse it 3. there is no need to make it human readable 4. don't change a running system Sure they could do something else, but what's the gain? Why don't people store audio files in ascii? Or images?
  22. 8 bit just reuses the grey goo engine. If they didn't have that already the game wouldn't be as cheap. It's just made to look cheap.
