Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Is anyone else in this? I could play with some G&T guys but if any of you are in it too, I'd rather play with y'all.

Here's some screenshots for you

    Somewhere between the dreary world of temperate forests and siberian wastes they've managed to... fight over tropical islands?

    I mean it still looks fun and all, but whoa, bright environs.

    Apparently there's bears with giant cannons, and robots, and little psychic schoolgirls.

    I haven't actually gotten to try it out yet, it just finished installing.

    I really don't think they should be adding vehicle combat to Diablo III, and how is this new menu system going to mesh with the classic clickclickclickclick combat system?

    see it's funny because Diablo III is brighter than previous Diablo games.

    On red alert one for the playstation, if you built too many units the game would spawn a lighting cloud that would start destroying all your shit, so I'm playing vs. with a link cable and the damn cloud spawns, so I drop about I don't know three nukes on it and it went away

    The problem is, there's no skirmish mode, so it's really hard to coordinate with the other players that you're just trying to get a feel for the units. It's even harder when the game is entitled No Rush and the first thing your teammate does is rush the enemy and get killed and now you have 2 bases to worry about.

    Temporal Vortexes on the original Red Alert were fun.

    On the PC version they'd spawn if you used the chronosphere too much.

    I was playing with a friend, using the chronosphere constantly to harass his base or steal his ore truck. Really was pissing him off, but I kept at it. What can I say? At that point I was just doing it to be a douche.

    Then a Vortex spawns and starts heading toward his base.

    "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS" he starts typing. "OH MY GOD STOP IT WHY WON'T IT DIE. OH MY GOD MY BASE."

    Apparently he'd never seen one before and it was wrecking his mind.

    Why does this game need a schoolgirl? I am curious.

    The first Age of Empires 3 expansion added a treaty mode that made no rush games work way better. More games need to add that.

    Never played it but as I've read the controls for the other C&C games on 360 were quite good.

    Did you ever play Tiberian Sun? My friends and I used to build smaller sub-bases on our frontier and use them as Mutant Production Labs, where we'd use chemical missiles and stuff to convert our hapless soldiers into horrible mutants.

    And then at the right moment you could unleash them.

    Fuck knows they wouldn't ever go in the direction you wanted but it did add spice to the map to have some mutant blobs stomping around, wrecking anything that came close.

    It was also fun to use artillery to dig a big trench around your base. I don't think the deformable terrain slowed anything down but it did look pretty neat.

    Yes I did that too

    It was funny how the game displayed multiple nukes.

    I was right, I guess.

    The golden rule of C&C is that the more you have producing something the faster it gets made.

    I thought that rule applied to things like nukes.

    So I made a custom map with like a few million credits in gemstones.

    And proceeded to make about a fifty nuke silos before I realized it took 20 minutes no matter what I tried.



    Also do you remember the trick from RA:Counterstrike that would create a tesla tank instead of a radar jammer if you held down ALT while clicking it?

    Fuck, now I really want to play Red Alert with you people.
