[quote who="Frogboy" reply="80" id="2557338"]BTW, I don't know if this is commonly known but I am the same Frogboy that was #1 on Boneyards for about a year in the FFA category. [/quote] So your real motivations become clear...

The 3d really isn't going to get much better, the perspective is fixed. I'm more interested in making/downloading new units and maps. A unit manager would be really awesome!

Does the map editor work like the old one? It was easy enough to use although it always crashed on me, I'm guessing this one will be much more stable. How well is the multiplayer running? What features dows it currently have? I will almost certainly end up rebuying TA but I may wait and play my original retail copy until I get some bills out of the way. If there are enough current improvements I may shell out now.

And I didn't think I would see anything more awesome than the new halo trailer today. If you'll excuse me I need to get some fresh underwear...

Getting back on topic, I believe part of the pc is dying perspective comes from the open nature of the pc. Consoles are more controled, there is someone managing the system trying to make sure there is a decent number of releases each year (whether they are successful or not). The pc doesn't have this which helps contribute to more boom and bust years. When releases are a little thin, the pc is dying. When there are a ton, well, just give it a few more years... <p

I have a Sansa clip which has very good sound quality and a nice screen for the size/price. I'm not sure if it comes with more than 4GB of memory though. My Dad got a Sansa Fuse which is a little more expensive and a little bigger but has a nicer screen and a micro sd expansion slot if you ever need more memory. I would highly recommend either.

We don't know what the games time scale is to determine how long they have been around for. With proper maintenance they could last a very long time; not to mention the protection sheilds provide. And the maritime ships that fall into disrepair probably arent maintained, or simply became obsolete. Look at how long the space shuttles have lasted, and none have been lost due to disrepair. </

I checked through impulse and it says the extra content is available through download at this website. I'm not sure if it really is the collectors edition or not but it sounds like it is. The upgrade I believe is just the physical copy of the disk which is the same as the retail version since the extra content is online. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can clear it up. Hope that helps. As a side note I did not go through your link since it wan

I bought the standard edition at retail and it did not include a music cd, just the disk and manual. There also is no need to repeat yourself and use excessive caps.

In 2.5 my starbases tend to jerk back and forth, inching one way slightly, stoping, then going the other way even when there is nothing near them. They still turn toward enemies though. In the prior version the TEC starbase would switch between rotating fully and jerking, haven't played TEC in 2.5 yet. I usually put my starbases at the edge of the gravity well if that makes a difference.

[quote who="whitetorrent" reply="2" id="1975026"]I think what he meant was where are the patch files stored after patching, so he can make a backup of them[/quote] Impulse automatically replaces the old files, there aren't any multiple copies (they are already in their proper place in the games files). If you want a backup just archive sins, it will backup the current version.
