    Random Food Topic

    the wrap must be something they do in Europe then, cos it's always pitta bread in the UK. This talk of Kebabs is making me hungry.... time to phone Acropolis I think and order one for collection!

    Random Food Topic

    The humble Kebab... known in England as a Delicacy and ordered around about midnight when you've had way too much to drink.. usually covered in lashings of chilli sauce, before being dropped into the road because the high mixture of beer and chilli doesn't go to well and causes the conasuer to chuck up in the road right next to it It's unusual for Kebabs to be wrapped in tortillas. They are usually in cut pitta bread. The "steak" as you refer to it as, is actually reformed lamb spit roasted vertically on a skewer and cut with a rather large blade... it is then placed inside a hot cut ipen pitta bread and topped with Salad. They are the native food of Turkey. When you get it from takeout chains, it looks more like this: http://www.ntscblog.com/images/fullsize/kebab.jpg
  4. I just hope that this conquest mode doesn't do the really crap thing like what some conquest modes do *cough* Universe at War *cough*. The problem with these is that they really need to be a fully fleshed out game feature. In other words, this shouldn't be a series of boring, mind numbing, repetitive Skirmish games where the AI doesn't really give you a challenge. Now if it's more like Dawn of War: Dark Crusade's deeper campaign style conquest, then we're talking business. I'm sure those of you who have played both games can see the difference in contrast between the 2 similar modes.

    Red Alert 3 Info from PC Gamer

    It can follow in the footsteps or RA2 all it likes... I don't really have much of a problem with that. But I hated RA2 for 2 main things... the story (which was poorly written even from a humoour side of things) and the gamespeed. The latter is addressed, and that I'm happy about. Providing the story is well thought out and the humour isn't too OTT, I think we're all good to be honest. I think if the level of humour that David and Raj provide would be just perfect. It's humourous, laugh-worthy, and they don't look like they're trying to be funny. That was the problem with RA2 in my opinion, the humour felt false, and I didn't like that.

    Red Alert 3 Info from PC Gamer

    Like all the old C&C's had. You couldn't just build exactly where you want, so instead we will see the classic "block" type plan on a "grid" before the structure is placed.
  7. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I needn't say anything else! EDIT: Actually is there a PMT upgrade on this soldier? It'd make the Scrin mothership look like a pea shooter.

    Hey

    Ahh, I see, I find this to be rather fitting: Man you have been away for a while. Are you staying or just passing this time around? It's about time we had someone to shake things up again, and put half the complacent people in their place. The slate on everyone's accounts regarding warnings is clean.... Make the most of it! If you don't know who I am, well C&C King died in a tragic C&C 3 related incident. I'm the new Son of a bitch taking his place.
  9. Sounds like a load of rubbish to me too. If it housed all that code the First Decade would have worked right out the box. Cos EA would have known what to do.

    Blast from the past

    lol, and that's the first and last time we'll hear from you for another year Hans. Good speaking to you none the less old friend.

    Is this song racist to you?

    Sounds like a good idea.

    The Greatest Song of All Time?

    OK time to start posting others I think. This band like so few before them arguably changed the face of Metal & Rock in the 90's, giving inspiration to many modern bands: So underrated.

    And to be honest, I think the logic and element of this topic is now done. Consider it locked.

    Ever seen the movie True Lies?

    I think it'd be cool to have a GTA movie with that interface constantly locked to the screen.... Much win!

    Kofi, do you wanna stop being an ***hole now? You can't seem to back up any of your sarcasm and wit with intelligence so can you just shut up!

    Honey Trappers!

    You've gotta admit though that'd be a great perk. Can't get more Job satisfaction than that! :lol:

    Honey Trappers!

    hmm I might give them a call, that'd be such a cool job. I wonder how far you have to go with a target to trap them?
  20. Not likely to happen. EA want to reach out to everyone they can... even without blood this game is going to get a "T for Teen" because it depicts war and violence... add blood and it's an automatic "M for Mature".
  21. Anyone notice a stark similarity here? Hah! This to me is a Renegade 2 tribute in action, and I find that so cool!

    Far Cry Movie

    I quote this because like Universal Soldier it reminds me exactly of the type of low budget film Jean Claude Van Dam would star in. Bit of Kung fu, mindless action etc. Funnily enough though Udo Kier stars in all the crap movies and usually ends up dying within the first 30-45 minutes in most of them. To be honest in his whole acting career I think Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge were his biggest roles... He lasted longer than all the movies, but unfortunately he still dies in the end.

    Who is the mysterious Caleb?

    I don't think Caleb should give his other identities. Firstly mystery is cool and secondly it might be bad for your health if we tell you. Sonic, don't even dare come in here and give it away. I think Caleb could have some fun here
  24. It made Zee faint when I said that. But I am inclined to agree somewhat... This could be the RTS that EA get right.... I think that EA can do this on their own with very minimal community feedback... But I still want the option to go it alone instead of fighting with AI help.
  25. EA are heading towards the low end of Ultra High Definition imagery now.... Very interesting. I think they should go the full 7,680 × 4,320.... that's a Full Ultra High Definition image
