Single efficient build order... Ever seen what it's like in post-RA2 games (excluding Tiberian Eclipse Twilight)? I do agree with the anti-tank rush rant. Khm... the Scrin Mothership came 3 years before the Starcraft II Protoss Mothership. More like Blizzard has stolen that from EA Zerg Drone and the Scrin Harvester do have similarities, but I've never seen them until you mentioned that Protoss Carrier in C&C... wait, whut??? Scrin Planetary Assault Carrier is completely different. It doesn't build Intercreptors which cost you extra and they can only be destroyed if the Scrin Carrier is taken down.

Too Generalsish for my taste

RA1 and... hm... attempting to log in to APB (even their website isn't working). Soviet mission 6 is in ex-Yugoslavia. Upper hardpoint is somewhere in Istra or Kvarner, and the lower one is near Split

How long will it take for you to finish these movies

Don't try to make me laugh, please don't. Generals was the worst excuse for a strategy game I ever played (and I've played quite a number of games). After I finished the Generals' Challenge in Zero Hour as Dr. Thrax, I just uninstalled the bloody thing. The only good thing about it is its compatibility for mods. Let me put this in another way: Red Alert 2 was, technically speaking, more of a copy of TS than TS was a copy of RA1. It was based on the identical "updated" Westwood RTS engine, it was as well isometric and it was even less original than TS. Its storyline was under par for 2000's standards (set by Starcraft and, unfortunately, still holds them), which means that Westwood gave even less effort to RA2 than to TS! And don't think I didn't see how many times you mentioned the interface. In fact, I'm beginning to think it's the only thing you disliked.

I cracked up when I saw this XD Unfortunately, the video embedding is disabled, so you just have to follow the link.

Out of curiousity, how long will the conversion of all videos take?

What the hell are Han Solo and the Milennium Falcon doing in Clone Wars?

You listen to Deep Purple, which I just don't want to hear. Also, Sonic listens to Metallica, which I hate. Did you ever hear me complain about that?

No. Look at your desktop. You have the best and the worst TFD games there. RA2 is the best (followed by TS), with Generals as the worst.

The new RA2: Apocalypse Rising blog is here

Seems interesting... too bad there aren't any screenshots on the forums yet. That Kirov replacement at the end of the video is an epic fail

You had that in Tiberium Wars and in the recent Starcraft II

While playing N3tRunn3r's RA+, I found this graphical error: when you order a Tesla Tank to fire somewhere, the Tesla Bolt doesn't come from its portable Coil, but from its treads! I can't give you a video of the error, as I don't know any freeware screen recorder that can record footage from games like RA1 Also, when forcefully ordering the Ore Truck to unload ore at the Refinery, it will sometimes get near the Refinery, and unload it EVEN if it is not inside the structure (once I saw the SHP of the Truck OVER the SHP of the Refinery!)

U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Not even Dune 2000?

Yeah, I just can't pass the first several missions. When I get to one of those in Poland (with no bases), epic fail is imminent. I only heard of that capturing Hand of Nod trick on Youtube

I wonder if the Iron Curtain Device has a charged animation... The Terror Drone is AWESOME

TS was not only as good as RA2, but all that media hype from '97 to '99 was justified in every single way! (Plus, if it weren't for TS, you wouldn't have a forum to write in, or RA2 to mod, now would you)? The only games that suck in the entire C&C universe are Tiberian Twilight and Generals (if I install Generals without a total-conversion mod, I'll have to vomit for days)

Actually, the only problem here is that it's time-consuming and you have quite a bit of strings to translate

For the movies, read what Nyerguds told earlier: For the ingame text, make a MIX archive and import it to a self-extractor by using WinZip or WinRAR. That will compress it even more, making it use less space while distributing and easier to install. You can also call it "expand##.mix", but the number must have two digits and mustn't be 01 (used by Firestorm).

Since when? I thought you actually have to capture the Hand of Nod to train them

Gregorian. These guys are the only ones who can actually make the song BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!

Hmmm... I seem to have mixed C&C 1 with RA 1... I thought all pre-RA2 games had the techtree which allowed "bad guys" to have Rocket Soldiers and "good guys" to have Grenadiers

What? That's funny... I'd just like to test it, but I've deleted my EA freeware copy and left the ZIP on my brother's portable hard-drive So yeah, all we have left is that expand**.mix for TS and RA2.

If you do it properly, no reason why it shouldn't. Rather as a self-extracting ZIP/RAR archive (very easy to make) that contains the MIX file, to make non-modders feel comfortable when installing it.
