  1. As I sit five minutes before class to type this...I have to say that Halo 2 simply rocks! I got mine at EB around 12:10am (8th in line! woo!), raced home, and played for the next six hours. I dont have xb-live so im going to buy a starter kit today and see how this 'optimatch' system works. Though I still dont believe Halo 2 will hold a candle to the glory that will be Half-Life 2, I believe this game will hold me out until 3am EST next tuesday.

    Maybe... im not sure if ill be here or not tomorrow.
  3. Thinking about how fat im going to be when my superhuman metabolism wears off.
  4. Nifty! Too bad my vote already went out to Gabe...its kinda cool to be able to build a house out of money then burn it down just because you have that much.
  5. You know the scary thing is they probably have these in Japan.
  6. I am not exactly a 'vet' but I can tell you how *I* go about things. One thing you must understand is that you must stay away from stations...period. Dont even think of going near those things as they will chew you up. It also helps to sell what you dont need and buy the best armor and shield upgrades you can. Finally, when fighting those losers in their giant death ships you need to remember that they are big and SLOW. Dealing with fighters while staying out of the carriers weapons range is a good idea. Since your ship is smaller and weaker I believe its generally a good idea to have them come to you so you can blow them to pieces before they get out of hyperspace.
  7. Same here, if the netcode is improved even a little ill be happy. It really bums me out when things start to get interesting and the game grinds to a halt due to netlag. Derek needs to find a way to keep the game from cramming all of these monster packets through my line ! I want to engage in my acts of piracy without wondering just how many hits its going to require for my enemy to start taking some damage!
  8. quote: Bush opposed the Office of Homeland Security. Opposed the Office of Homeland Security? Where the heck did you hear that from? Either I wasnt paying attention or that is completely untrue...link please?
  9. Update--- since I forgot kotor2 was in production im waiting on that too. Im also waiting for steel battalion to get to my house if that counts lol (yeah, im a nerd...but a nerd with money)! By the way, I was wondering if anyone who pre-ordered halo 2 from ebgames is going to their 12am release (I know I am and cant wait!).
  10. BC3k is the first of the series...and its OLD. Then there is Battlecruiser Millennium which is sort of the middle child and finally Universal Combat is the latest game. Im not going to go into detail about the huge differences between the BC3K era and the current UC dynasty as that could take a few pages to compare. But to sum it up in my opinion: BC3K - BCM - UC -
  11. You can perma destroy a base by dropping a r.a.n.d.o.m. weapon on a planet . Though it kinda ruins the day for everyone else on that planet.
  12. Just in case nobody heard the angels singing.... check out the good news.
  13. 1. Half-Life2 2. Halo 2 3. System Shock 3 (or whatever its called now) 4. The most recent WWII flightsim I can find
  14. Fav: Civilization 1,2&3, Half-Life, Soon-to-be Half-Life 2 , Sonic 3 (sega), Rome: Total War, Space Empires 3 (PC), Defenders of the Crown (Amiga), Silent Service (Amiga) F-18 Interceptor (Amiga), BCMG, EverQuest (yes...I don't like EQ now but I cannot deny the fact that it owned my very soul for two years), SimCity 2000, Theme Hospital, System Shock 2. Trash: Shaq Fu (Sega), Conquest Earth, Lords of the Realm 3, Universal Combat. YES I SAID IT.... In my book, UC is one of the worst games ive ever played. It just did not give me the ' woah.... this game is hawt!' feeling I got with BCM. In fact, it was more along the lines of 'screw this, im playing counterstrike!'. I only keep it today for the multiplayer. Sad...but its the truth.
  15. Oh man... I was all for Kerry until that timber company comment...OUCH! I couldnt watch, it was just too horrible. Everything just went downhill from there...poor guy. Heh he probably wrote down on his notepad to kill the guy who told him that piece of information. Ah well, there is still time to change my mind. They are both very good people and frankly...ill be happy with either of them as president.

    Ah im half way over my obsession over Rome: Total War....ill be there if I can find where I put my damn UC cd.
  17. Whaaaaat! You played the demo and didnt immediately go out to buy it? Torch him!
  18. Trust me, R:TW is worthy of your $50. How can being Roman not be fun? This game like all others does have its problems-- for instance some say the battles are way too fast and the AI can sometimes do some clever things...other times really stupid things... but these things can be fixed with lovely patches! Anyway, if you have not played the demo to get a taste of this rts masterpiece, head on over to totalwar.com and get it!
  19. Is it just me or are british light chairots EVIL? 90% of the time I cant touch them because they can outrun just about everything I have! The only thing I can do (after my light cav gets chopped up) is put everyone who can in testudo and wait for the time to run out since those damn chairots just sit back and pepper me to death with arrows.
  20. I will be happy with Bush or Kerry as the president but one thing got me: Kerry said the presidents always had the ability to conduct a preemptive strike.... thats news to me!
  21. Yes that is true, you can also conquer a faction and play as them without finishing the campaign. BTW Grayfox check pm!
  22. War dogs are good against non armored elephants (though ive never tried it) and there are flaming pigs units that make elephants run amok.
  23. If anyone who owns this game wants to get together and have a big multiplayer brawl.... sing out!
  24. Alas, a Fable port to the PC will just just like all console ports do. The only reason I bought Halo PC was because of the short video you see after you exit the Halo PC demo. Anyway, Fable is great (though a little short for me) and to tell you the truth... I bought an xbox just to get my hands on Fable.
  25. ....and it looks twice as complicated in the first one. Though it was fun to conquer the world with some backwards country. I took over the world with Madagascar . I hope they fixed some of the exploits this time around. For instance I created around a million or so of the most basic foot soldiers for pocket change in Japan. Then I upgraded all of those soldiers to their max level in every possible way. However you dont get the bill for all of this until the next turn. Sooo before I had to sell Japan's children just to pay a fifth of what it would cost to maintain these pasty nerdy conscripts turned terminator I conquered most of the world. I was 'emperor' of asia, austraila, europe, a large portion of africa, a small portion of canada, and brazil. Sadly, all of that money in the world could not pay off the bill .
