I remember spending hours with Bibble trying to find people to play with but we could usually only get one other person if we were lucky because you guys sucked and never wanted to play.
Alright then, let's plan some games for Saturday afternoon/night. Get it installed and organize times in the thread tomorrow. Somebody's gotta take initiative if anyone's gonna play.

Hey, I was there, goddamnit! But you assholes always started without me.

So I'm playing around with the demo and it seems to me that the first person to launch is basically fucked.
Not really. Depends on allies and whatnot. Also, submarines will kill you dead. Alot of my own strategy revolves in sending enough nukes from different places so that they get there at the same time, and a few soak up the bullets while the rest slam into people.
The person that wins the game is the one that gets the most kills in the most continents. It's very very difficult to win on defense in this game - if somebody tries hard enough, they will break through and there's nothing you can do to save your citizens. The juiciest nuke targets are the big cities that haven't been hit yet, so there's a lot of value in being the first to attack. The last game I played, one guy was Russia and he put all six of his silos in one place, ignoring almost all of his cities. They all got glassed, and he still won with like 200 points because he was aggressive, built up a strong lead, and didn't leave enough survivors for other players to catch up with him.
Let's get some games in later tonight. I'll be free in a couple hours, maybe 9-10 EST.
I'm thinking about purchasing this after my finals are over to celebrate. Is there a single player mode or is it just a multiplayer game? And is it as intense and fun as everybody tells me it is?

heh, that was a good game, no one ever suspects europe..until they have 50 or 60 nukes flying at your backdoor and yes chaos, there can be one demo user per game, so now that i finally got it to realize that i did indeed buy the game other demo users can play :P
Not for me! Every time I tried to launch, I would get kicked out to the "connecting" screen halfway through, and by the time I got back the first half of my attack would already be in the air.
So, since i'm too lazy to make a new thread, let this one wise from its grave!! so..anyone want to play some defcon today, or tomorrow, or sometime this week? =0 i feel the urge to kill millions of people
It's been a while, but I agree with that old post in this thread - This was hot for a bit and then died... And I miss it. Had a few very long, fun games full of great teamwork and suspense. RISE FROM YOUR GRAAAVE. Get it started tonight - I might play, might not, it's been a long day - and let it continue.
I still say a screensaver mode where the computer is automatically restarting new games at the end of each preceding game would have made this so much better
I'd install it on my little brother's computer and run it at night, the volume just loud enough to pick up that woman crying in the control room
He totally loses it at that kinda stuff

I should buy this and start playing. I've always wanted Russia to win :P
at least until one of you is attacked and the other decides to take advantage of your already overworked defenses >=) and seriously europe is untouchable unless it has two people ganging up on it..or you somehow manage to sneak 12 subs within launch range of it

Oh god, like, with the monitor and shit off, so he just hears a woman crying in his room?
You're an awful, awful person.
edit: Ohh, I thought you said you did it. You really should, though. And tape it.

So what happens if I bought it off steam in my bootcamp partition?
I reckon I'm fucked
So do I have to get it from the U.K.?
No, if you buy it from Introversion you do, but just download it via Steam. You can get Steam here:

You go into a sort of unspoken agreement when you're Russian/Europe.

But can you buy a full version for download without using Steam? I don't like Steam.
