[quote]Quick update. I found my groove. Not a bad game at all. That "Lock Teams" button is a nice addition.[/quote] Extremely encouraging to hear this; it also happens to prove once and for all that the majority of this discussion, having been born out of a troll's comment, is completely irrelevant to the OP's original point. It counts as a lesson to me, at least, that if a troll comes on, the best thing to do is to ignore it. A troll isn't worth most people's

[quote]Nice, while at the site i noticed "Universe at War." I quickly researched the game, and man how does crap like that get made? I mean the gameplay may be good, no idea personally, but from the story itself it seems like a total cheeseball of a game.[/quote] Funny you should say that - I've been keeping an eye on the release of that game (not intending to buy it, though) because apparently a lot of the crewmembers from old Westwood (as you know, the developer of THE first RTS game

[quote]so lets just point out whats wrong with the op and get him to like the game shall we.[/quote] Perhaps, but maybe we could help him through his problems? As in, get him to like the game (as you say) by giving him help?

Hey guys; don't worry about Bob. He doesn't tend to read things, so he repeats things ad nauseum. [quote]Bob I agree with you 100%. After playing 5 games my, every single one of my friends said they are bored of the game. Main reason is because everything is the same. There are only 3 races and each are exactly the same...[/quote] This is quite an acceptable comment to make, in my opinion - if only it were in the right thread :P I understand you were only respondin

[quote]it ends it for the period of time that the opposition is incapable of reprisal but as soon as they are... revenge is a dish best served cold[/quote] Opposition? Eh? Or am I interpreting this all wrong? I'm probably just talking through my inner ear... never mind me...

[quote]Ok now its ROFL @ this thread[/quote] It's funny coz it's true. It's funnier (for me, at any rate) coz I'm guilty :P

[quote]jesus christ... i see u cant even tell what a joke is now.. oh well some people just dont have a sense of humor i guess. too bad.[/quote] Whatever floats your boat.

[quote]I can't tolerate: a) People starting new threads when there are already threads about the same topic that are active on the front page. b) People asking questions that could be answering by reading the manual, doing the tutorials, or spending a few second on Google. c) Atrocious spelling, punctuation, and grammar. If you don't commit any of these offenses, I like to think I'm fairly polite and helpful. If you do, I may or may not come off as rude, depen

[quote]i think MarcusCardiff is a pretty cool guy. eh attacks trolls and doesn't afraid of anything.[/quote] Questionable word choice (doesn't afraid of anything?) but I agree with you. Perhaps, though, it should indeed be set in off-topic, or something. No matter though :P

[quote]??? this is a serious thread.[/quote] Says the guy who trolled ANOTHER post and seemed not to realize it.

Perhaps you could refrain from making your post title into caps.

[quote]missiles wouldn't care which way they point when fired.[/quote] That's not the point (if you'd pardon the pun). What I'm trying to say is, you wouldn't fire missiles at submerged subs, or depth charges at planes.

To condense my last post: Ocean warfare has weaponry dependent on the plane of warfare. This would not be the case in space.

[quote]Nothing below and above sea ships? have you heard of submarines and air planes?[/quote] True enough, but remember that an ocean ship has depth charges and possibly torpedoes (or am I out of date here?) as well as sonar for the subs, anti-air and radar for the air units, and turrets (and radar) for the surface vessels. The nature of the weaponry changes with the type of enemy, and remember that no enemy unit can transcend its plane; for example, planes can't dive beneath the ocean

[quote]So your are basing your assumptions on the game? Okay, in that case, "lasers" move much slower than a bullet, which again, makes dodging easy.[/quote] So, in the end, are we going to be arguing in terms of the game or in terms of realism?

[quote]You have a pretty big error in your assumptions - if you assume that you have no FTL detection (which you do), you won't even be able to properly target those lasers. At a (very close) combat distance of even 3-5 lightseconds your targeting data will be 3-5 seconds outdated[/quote] And you sir, have a pretty big assumption in your argument as well. Having not played the game, I can't answer this, but I doubt that any ship can shoot the distance from the moon to Earth (please correct me i

[quote]In the real world, phasing is probably impossible... so you could never evade lasers... sorry. [/quote] I totally agree with you, but keep in mind that in the real world, it isn't the future yet; in the real world there's no such thing as mind control, at least not scientifically proven (I'd be interested to see a proof that anyone could come up with though, just for laughs); in the real world, we have lives. Well, most, anyway :P Be careful with the "real world" arguments, though

Great post!

[quote]Do you know how to spell people? Are you a moron for playing online? There is always going to be "morons" online. Get over it and play with friends. [/quote] Sir, if you're going to correct people's spelling, please make sure of your grammar - singular verbs don't go with plurals. Point taken, on my part, though; while I would find such behaviour annoying, I'd accept there would hardly be a remedy for it other than playing with friends. Still, some people may not know they

[quote]World in Conflict was a good game, but most certainly not a 9.5.[/quote] I disagree - but since this is more a matter of opinion, I won't argue too much with you :P

Mate, EBAus has it for release by publisher Auran 16th April. I can't wait for it either :P

Hi guys! This post is probably just a bit late for those Australians who posted on here before, but, as I've said on other threads, after contacting EBAus a couple of days ago, I found they have it listed for a 16 April release. Yay!

[quote]ive said all i want to say. i won't be posting again in this thread. u can though. i wont bother to reply to it. [/quote] Thank you. I don't see any point in it either. Just a quick note - this could all have been avoided if you'd explained your point of view to begin with... but that argument is over and done with. Thank you for being mature about it, at the very least. I'm sorry for having insulted you, by the way - considering our positions it was unjustified. We

EBAus has it for release 16th April. It's well aware of the title, fortunately :P

[quote]There's a few threads I've been poking around in with some really uptight people replying in them. [/quote] Regrettably, I believe I'm one of those uptight people - so don't use me as an example :P On a side, and unrelated, note, my preferred method of execution would be firing squad. I don't think I'd be able to stand lethal injection, electric chair or anything like that.
