i wanna play so bad...ill try to get a subscription. I wanna tear somethin up with some Chaos Space Marines.

OfaLoaf · 2004-07-07, 05:18 PM

Any Imperial Guard? Please?

TekDragon · 2004-07-07, 05:31 PM

No, Ofa.

And the game isn't that good. Needs some serious refinement and balancing before it gets anywhere near a marketable game. As is, only the fan boys will desire it.

Looks like the love child of WC3 and GC2

Biohazzard56 · 2004-07-07, 05:41 PM

Its definatley a WC3 clone. The breaking morale thing is cool but once Morale is broken the AI just runs away and your guys chase that should be fixed.+

well it is closed beta. and I dont consider myself a fanboy, (sure I love the universe its set in but I never played the tabletops or anything) but I like it. out of all the games I've played recently I can honestly say this is one of hte ones I've enjoyed the most.

hopefully they'll fix up the rough edges before release.

Its about two months away from release, in the shape its in, it will be ready. Id gladly take the Warhammer 40k Universe over Planetside.

I got in, I started dling 2 minutes ago.

TekDragon · 2004-07-07, 10:53 PM

And i'll gladly take Command and Conquer Generals over both. At least CnC has replay value. I've played almost a dozen games in this beta, won all but one. Even with that, it's getting harder and harder to enjoy playing. At least w CnC i can play 700+ games and still want to play more.

Give us some pics of Orks kicking ass!

OneManArmy · 2004-07-07, 11:11 PM

see thats funny tek, I could never play generals again and be perfecly content never playing it again. I however love every minute of this game...

comes down to personal opinion in the end.

and everyone is gonna think differently

I Hate Pants · 2004-07-07, 11:13 PM

generals sucked after the expansion! Everyone played as the fucking airforce and laser general. The GLA were gimped.

TekDragon · 2004-07-07, 11:14 PM

One thing I think this game DOES have is the potential for REALLY good end-game battles.

If they can find a way to prevent rushes, and balance out the mid to late game powers of the empires, it might have the potential to be good.

As it is, 1v1 games are the only good games. 2v2's just involve rushing.

Neon Apocalypse · 2004-07-07, 11:21 PM

looks very cool

anyone played GC2 im thinking of getting it

Are you retarded? No one plays as the laser general. Paladins are 100 times better than laser tanks, and those r the only things laser general has. Might as well play vanilla general and be able to use paladins and tomohawks.

People play US AF, US SW China Inf, China Nuke, GLA demo, GLA toxin, and GLA stealth.

7 out of 12 avaialable generals are used extensively, with china inf and GLA toxin being the 2 most used. Seems balanced to me.
