RTS TOURNAMENT #1: DAWN OF THE TIBERIUM AGE PART 2

...

...

...

THE NAVY COMMUNITY?

thats autistic, but not the good kind of autistic

Universal Truth incoming

TS2>RA2>RA>TD>>>>x3>>>>"C&C4"

I can beat that.

I hear GDI in C&C 3 got some beefy Rigs, your harvester should watch out for those, Noddie.

RA1 > TD > RA2 > TS > Zero Hour > Generals > 3 > RA3 > Renegade > Shit >>>>>>>>>>> C&C4

Mmmm you like that?

Why don't you get out of that er Jabroni outfit?

serber ded

Isn't it tomorrow night anyway?

...

What kind of reasoning is that?

He who is prepared to play on a toilet, wins.

That's what diapers are for user.

Has DNN already choosen his faction? IIt doesn't show on the brackets listing.

MODDB EXPLODED IT'S OVER

Can't someone just SendSpace the install ZIP or something?

uploading it to mediafire

One sec, will ask someone whose upload speed isn't potato to do so.

I think he's undecided, you can change when it starts anyway.

Disgusting. Why did I even look? Although it does explain Nintendofags

Done, here you go
mediafire.com/file/d0q2fwcc90tn43y/DTA_1.1662.zip

Come on, are you for real OP?

Gameplay: Generals > Red Alert > Tiberium
Story: Tiberium > Red Alert > Generals

Agree
Tiberium universe is such a cool setting, i wish more was dont with it

And where's shitty DTA mod place on that ranking?

We should play the Contra mod for Generals together and just revel in the nearing-40K bullshit power levels.

There are so many great cnc mods that we could spend whole year playing them

Greater than Tiberian Dawn gameplay for sure :^)

It's primairly a single-player/coop focused mod from what i'm seeing. Lobby is pretty lively when there's a new update though.
Doesn't have production queueing of more than 1 unit at a time, RA factions + soundtrack, more maps, better artillery nor actual VS AI skirmish.

...

Nice work user.

Pretty fair.

thanks

bump

DNN here, hosting lobby. Pass infv

...

I'd give RA2 Tanya a good dicking.

Who wouldn't?

...

...

I'd tan Tanya's hide.

why do people like generals I got that shit And was like wtf is this shit fucking uninstalled went back to Tib/red series
hell earlier this summer I played a ton of OpenRA.

...

That sentence alone says all that we will ever need to know about you user.

Why user.

ok what is wrong with openra?
I was having a blast playing A C&C game on mutiplayer and not a single player game against bots and building massive bases for shits and giggles.

OpenRA has been 'balanced' by the devs to nerf any tactics they don't like, most notoriously engineers.

...

All further opinions discarded.

Let me educate you, son.

ok seriously why?
I couldn't find my original Cds non of the pirated version of Red alert or 2 work was trying to get into red alert 2 online because i heard that it was somewhat active still.
but I stop playing openra because matches started to end up same old same old of chrono shit into peoples mc and there were never any really tug of war matches it always seem to be one sided

oh that is ass wasn't there an option that you needed multiple engineers to weaken a structure then cap it?

Yes but much worse, to the point where capturing is essentially impossible. Also other nerfs and buffs to certain units for made up reasons, you'd have to ask another user for a full list though.
If you want to play RA2 online use CnC net.

webm related.

You fags shouldn't have told him squat, instead you should have let him figure it out for himself while we bullied him. Also that is far from their worst offence

Can anyone translate this mess of a post?

DTA has an option to turn them off or on. OpenRA does not.

I'd be interested in a more comprehensive list if you can be arsed.

I'm sure someone has a copypasta of my autistic rant saved somehwere. Mainly cause I want to get back to sleep

cnc looks promising if i get the urge for Rts i'll bite onto that.

what my brain thinks that is being typed or said and what comes out seems to be different

...

I bet your raifu is an AUG.

Ah, thanks.

It's ok user, we all make mistakes. You should probably proofread more often to avoid stuff like that.

...

Why would we be playing Supreme Commander 2?

But Soul Calibur's a fighting game.

Star Control II? I've heard good things. Sell me on it.

Star Citizen isnt even out and they already made a sequel? Hot damn.

Stronghold Crusader 2 was a fucking terrible game user.

Never played generals so I don't know how the multiplayer was but it would be pretty shit compared to zero hour.

SIEG HEIL'EN

by the way if we ever want the real TD experience for some reason some fag remade it in TS with 3D units
moddb.com/mods/return-of-the-dawn

If you've never played Generals multiplayer you've never truly challenged the rock, you have never challenged death itself and you will never have teeny toes that will carry you to the final frontier.

played zero hour online not generals, it just seems a bit lack luster imo

i really disliked how the usa didn't really have a "proper tank general lazers dont count

moddb.com/mods/cc-shockwave

Generals was super rushed by EA. Try out the Shockwave mod to get a feel for the original intention of the game. The USA gets the "Armor" general, which is exactly what it sounds like. Really thorough mod job. Highly recommend.

beat me to the link, but have some images of what the Armor general gets.

I have been playing this mod all wrong.

Have a few more.

They get a ridiculously large air transport that can carry two superheavy tanks at once, their Humvees are replaced with IFVs, and their defensive structures are GDI-style modular component towers.

Their superweapon is a MIRV, too. All of the new generals get unique superweapons.

WHY ARE SOVIETS SO SHIT IN THIS FUCKING MOD I WANT TO SEND STARVED PEASANTS AND MONGOLS TO THEIR DEATHS FOR 40 RUBLES A POP NOT SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE TANKS THAT TREK SLOWER THAN SNAILS.

Ask the Allies for some Detroit steel, comrade. :^)

USA was pretty much terrible overall as a faction and Zero Hour had ridiculous amounts of cut content to the point that nearly every mod you see for Zero Hour really isn't adding anything new but restoring cut content

The original version of Generals had War Elephants with cannons on them used by an African themed Mad Max faction. Also Shockwave Mod seriously hinders what you can do in Map Editor which in turn leads to boring and uninteresting maps. Also I hate the direction they went with it, earlier versions were better and more fun since you could actually play the campaign with the new units

Not going to be falling asleep anytime soon so may as well give a small rant about everything wrong with OpenRA
Also I discovered a whole bunch of FAL's hidden in my unorganized download's folder so guess that was a happy little accident.

OpenKikeA
Well first off actually this game used to be good when it was nothing but Red Alert with some modernized features that made it less clunky and better to play i.e. Attack Move, Infantry that auto-evade vehicles trying to run over them rather than stare at them like a retarded security guard waiting for a steamroller to run over him. It all went to shit when the devs started messing with how the game played and then adding shit that wasn't welcome. Here's an example of things they fucked up in OpenRA
That's just an example. OpenRA is poorly balanced and designed by fags who most likely think 4vs4 R.U.S.E. in 1945 mode is the best thing since sliced bread.

Wait, really? I thought it opened options up, adding new structures, etc. What did it remove?

Got any images of those war elephants?

1942 > Total War >>>>>>>>> 1945 > 1939 >>> Nuclear Spamfest mode.

Just concept art. Generals was going to be a radically different game.
And whole reason Shockwave is bad for World Builder is cause it adds factions to skirmish mode and multiplayer, which intereferes with the running of scripts. Basically it's either a pain in the ass or impossible to have dynamic maps in Shockwave mod like having unmanned units you can garrison, weather changes, trains that you can garrison with units and ride them around the map, pathways that open and close during a battle, having a dam that you can destroy and flood parts of the map with, custom NPC factions that will fight over parts of the map or hold points that you need to clear, frankly anything that makes Custom Maps dynamic and interesting.

Actually something I forgot to add was that I doubt you can do custom gamemodes in Shockwave Mod easily cause you'd typically need to setup a custom faction to do something like that and the game is at faction limit with Shockwave Mod.

If any burgers want to change faction or enter now would be the time to do it.

Bampu, burger brackets today. Also, i found a recorderfag, he may help out to record the matches if we set shit up correctly.

The recorderfag won't be what you think.

Gameplay: CnC3 with Tiberium Essence > Generals with Contra, Rise of Reds or ShockWave > Generals > CnC3 > Mental Omega > Red Alert 2 > The first two games > Renegade > Red Alert 3 > TibSun > Sole Survivor > [DATA EXPUNGED] > CnC mobile games > CnC browser games

Story: TibSun > Joseph Kucan's tall tales about how he got the Kane role > Red Alert 2 > Rise of Reds lore > CnC1 > CnC: Red Alert > CnC 3 > Generals > Renegade > Red Alert 3 > Sole Survivor > Sole Survivor, mods without plot or absolutely anything without story > [DATA EXPUNGED]

Uh… you need third party shit to play multiplayer for all those games. You can get everything up to TibSun for free because EA made them freeware, and on some RA2 multiplayer forums I saw floating a version that only has multiplayer-relevant files you can play online with.

Those concepts are from different stages. The first is the pre-production concepts that were more close to some wacky somewhat post-apocalyptic alt-history, but EA demanded a more relevant and modern setting so they evolved some concepts out of it. You can actually see some of surviving later development assets ingame - the sandy tanks and structures for faction that was at different stages either USA or EU, and some really ramshackle wooden reactors for Chinese warlords.

Bump. I hope burgers are down to clown today.

...

Some anons like to be gay and play as the different faction. Well, every faction except for gommies.

Communism will win.

What?

...

Was half expecting a SilvaGunner link tbh.

nice >:]

Disgusting.

Fug

Have amerifags started?
I like to spectate

It's a lie, all of it. GDI wouldn't slaughter children.

Not yet, at 7pm UTC-5

4-5 hours yet I think.

Rehosted room as Fuck Work. Closed the match earlier it because some normie niggers called to tell me they were going to fire me as a prank. Goddamnit.

Pass is infv. Doing 1v1, 2v2, practice, spectators allowed to shitpost in.

What?

Job's basically filled with assholes that tend to do shit like this. They called in the middle of a match telling me to drop everything else i'd get fired due to an emergency job. They call 2 minutes later saying that nothing's happening just right before i get up to leave. Fucking niggers.

Jesus they sound like cunts
What kind of job do you have?

Tech "support" at a computer repair shop. Basically solding capacitors and formatting drives most of the time, but other times i do get to pass cat5e through houses' roof.

Holy shit user, is that even legal?

Like here that'd have to be in your contract at the very least.

Why wouldnt it be? Its just a prank bro, its just a prank

...

Failing everytime aint winning bud.

It's not illegal because who the fuck would spend the time to prosecute a couple niglets doing a "prank" call when they could instead be laundring thousands of cocaine dollars through the cuban embassy?
Fuck communism and socialism, it's hell living in this failed shit state

Venezuela? That explains it then.
I'm all for sticking with your homeland until death but I think Venezuela's at the point where I'd probably be trying to leave.

Nope, Paraguay.

*teleport behind you*
*unsheathes 10 million conscripts*
Pssh, nothing personal bourgeoisie

Yup. I've actually attempted several times to get a visa now but the customs office literally closed registrations after they saw how many people were jumping shit through the last 4 years now.

>paragay
You guys have it easy compared to here.

*****lol
*

How's your landlocked navy doing :^)

No

***NICE TRY FAGGOT***

I really need to proofread my shit before I fucking post.

Nice.

Well good luck user.

...

If you want to win, now'd be a good time to join up the burger registration and play for Soviets. No one has played soviets in the entire tourney yet and there's 4 hours till it begins.

MOI COMMISAR, ETO CHELOVEK.

WELL THERE GOES THE FUCKING THREAD.

Communists can never win. The best you could do is tie. That's because the points all have to be seized and redistributed so everyone has an equal share. You wouldn't keep all the points like a capitalist pig, would you?

>>>/out/

but im europoor

Give all the points to the government :^)

Does C&C still have the best music of RTS?

Been hearing reports that Venezuelan rapefugees are building boats to get to the Dutch Antilles. Economic refugees not allow so claim political asylum bro.

How did that ants match go? I crashed.

pic is him

Of course, even the EA-produced generals is pretty great

...

I wish I got free shit all the time.

Player Sea Shadow
AI Sea Shadow
Wat?

That AI is a minority user, it has to be paid back for decades of oppression.

"balance" I expect

In older C&C games, leveling up your units would actually change their weapons significantly. In RA2, a maxed out Kirov dropped Tesla bombs.

I love Kirov airships but jesus fuck

Hard AI units start as Veteran and can easily get to Elite with just a few kills. It's incredibly overpowered as their infantry just fucking decimates defenses because of the veterancy upgrades.

This is the worst.

Hard AI literally has infinite money.

Hard AI:
>gets units that default factions don't get Commando for Nod along with the Cyborg Prototype
>gets tech way earlier than everyone else fucking Nod Chem troopers before a chemical plant

Who would ever program this.

Oh and i almost forgot. Every time they build a refinery, they get 2 harvesters for free. And every Warfactory/Nod Airstrip they make also gives them an extra harvester too on all difficulties. Obviously Hard AI doesn't need them but that's something everyone should also know.

There's a douchebag image macro waiting to be made here.

Imagine tourney play but everyone gets the Hard AI's bullshit

Imagine tourneyplay where you don't fight other playersWhoever manages to survive 4 Hard AIs gets to win the tourney, on a xboxyuge map

>not 1 human vs 7 Hard AIs

Actually now im curious, im going to make a room and have two Hard AIs fight each other.

Are you a R.U.S.E. developer?

I just did a check and it isn't a veterncy issue. Even EASY AI Sea Shadows fire the cluster missiles. AI units are actually different from player units.

Will post screenshots later.

BURGER TIME IN 1 HOUR

HOLEE FUUUUUCK

The base's clusterfuck.

...

Nod destroy's GDI MCV. GDI is completely stunned and begins making MRLS in a desperate attempt to starve off the Nod assault.

DTA? more like DTF

...

Random datamining question: What is your favorite superweapon?

Mine has always been the orbital particle weapons, in any form, but especially the TS3 Ion Cannon.

RA2 Nuke.

Who's hosting for burger fight?

The Chinese Nuke from Generals with one of the Ion Cannons a close runner up.

And then Nod seals the deal with Artilleries and an SSM.

I loved it, in RA2 elite grizzly tank fired mini nuke blasts
I wish more RTS did stuff like that

BURGER SLAPFIGHTS NOW

ROOM IS NODIMPORTANT
pass is infv

lol

You might want to delay the start by 30mins-1 hour, everyone is busy testing the Hard AI.

Ion canon or chromosphere
Nothing like chronoing 9 prism tanks into enemy base

Get out

Jesus fuck. This is like that one scene in The Simpsons where they stand around watching monkeys fight to the death.

Fine, ill wait in the room.

...

So now what, soviets vs allies and then winners brackets and losers brackets? :^)

Four games of the burger time tourney and then back to abusing the AI I guess.

someone stream pls :^)

Someone is recording it, will upload when it's done.
Streaming next time we mess with tourney stuff, looking like we'll do fightcade in a month or so.

wew, we probably should thought of this beforehand. Next time for sure.

BURGER FIGHT 1
STARTING NOW

Good hosting fag.
Should be a slot or two for suspecting now.

ROOM REMADE DUE TO TECHNICAL ISSUES
never trust unofficial shit or jew york

SPECTATING, I MEANT SPECTATING

for what purpose?

well that was ebin

OP is clearly just afraid he'll fuck up in front of everyone again.

...

MATCH 1 OVER
MATCH 2 NOW

This match is going to be comfy and one sided

Why user?

Don't worry, it's being recorded for bully purposes.

Already the memes are out of this world in the first 10 seconds of the match
This round is like watching two retards try and have a slap fight without actually having a go at each other.

Wrong image. This is what it's like.

I'd make a comment about EU hours vs USA hours but that's just too easy.

The EASY AI plays better than the two fags currently playing!

I think i found your problem

i don't remember how to play C&C, should i bother?

You can't possibly be worse than what we're already seeing.

considering RTS is dead, you shouldn't have let your skills fade

Might as well come watch or wait for recording fag to post what he's got.
Also anons will hang around the bread and play together more casually in a bit, that's a good time to jump in. DTA even has some good coop maps.

What the fuck even is this match.

I am virtually speechless right now.

i know i shouldn't. it's been too long since my days of Brood War and SupCom

Well, at least someone finally fucking won.
So now the loser's game and then the winners game.

That Stealth Tank failure needs webm'd

If you've ever played a strategy game you'd dominate half the tournament lineup

TAKING A 5 MINUTE BREAK BEFORE THE NEXT MATCH TO PRODUCE THIS WEBM FOR BULLYING PURPOSES

Dont bully amerifats, they are "special"

I still cannot really comprehend what either player was thinking.

Most fun game to watch so far though.

i gotta see webms of that

Damn I missed everything and I love C&C.
Although this makes me want to see the supposed painful match

We only just finished the first match, fam.

...

Oh, well it is 3 in the morning over here… So i just want to see the webm.
Also will there be more tournaments in the future?

fixed version

It's coming.
Yes, this was really an experiment of a bunch of stuff. I think we'll do a fighting game next with a proper stream, that way anons can nig it up in the chat.

Second match user.

There should be a full raw upload too.

well you fags better record those games good, time to go to beeeeeeeed

Fresh Bullying OC

Fuck I need to fix this.

Good god.

Night fag.

Raw recording of the 36 minute round with the retarded argie and the shittiest cinematography: files.catbox.moe/zx5zuw.mp4

NEXT GAME STARTING
Webm of the failure soon, someone's cutting it out of the raw footage now.

You make me wait like Star Citizen.

WINNER SUPREME MATCH NOW

It's coming. In meantime another image to describe the match.

At least you can still see the fucking pillbox charge.

jesus christ this match

Here's the webm. May redo it if quality is shit.

BURGER WINNER SUPREME IS DNN

Loser supreme match now.

...

Probably a good idea. Perhaps asking an user who'd never played C&C before to be the cameraman was a poor idea.

Spectating the match without a stiff drink was a bigger mistake.

Recordfag, i hope you recorded that losers' bracket match. I had a ton of fun spamming chinooks there.

And that's all she wrote.
Winner Supreme: DNN
Loser Supreme: unshoedtie
Retard Supreme: NightCrawler

Thank you all so much for joining the first of hopefully many tournaments. If you'd like to give feedback and toss suggestions or bully me for being a retard flying blind and never practicing please visit >>>/radcorp/3121

And to all, a good night.

Are anons hanging around again to do silly shit in the lobby? More coop could be fun.

Good games. Please consider playing C&C with me for a while, i can teach you many broken things about the game that'll probably help you in other C&C games or in RTS in general. I also need someone to play with, haven't played multiplayer C&C in years

Yes. DNN is hosting a lobby to fuck around in. Pass' infv.

Need to face off against Giant Incests TBH

Nice.

He says he's uploading it now.

...

I like where this is going

I'm glad people didn't record the 3v3 and focus on me because that'd be worse than this

Here you go, NightCrawler gets raped round II: files.catbox.moe/mevz9r.mp4

Well that was impressively retarded. To top it off, my client crashed to desktop when I tried to bring up the menu.

Who won eventually?

Obelisk and me did. I sold my MCV and WF after making 50 humvees and just rushed DNN's base with them. Took out all powerplants and then all MCVs and then all Airstrips with them.
Then airstriked the shit out of Kahzei.

RTS games that last hours are always the most fun to be honest, particularly if they end in an arms race.

Main reason it lasted so long was insane lag

Damn I should have joined. At least I would have had someone close to my level to play against for once.

I think about half of the players hadn't touched C&C before and even those who had hadn't all done MP.

Protip: Don't use the stock renderer. Use DxWnd or DDrawCompat. Seems to work way better, if you don't you may cause lag in MP.

Not that that's an issue, of course, just don't expect anons to all be fucking top-tier. That's not been the case in anything gamenight related so far. You'll get another chance when we do more stuff anyway, I think R.U.S.E. will be run as a double's tournament since that'll make things easier on new players.

>itt people confuse > and

Retard Supreme NightCrawlerK98 speaks on his crushing defeat

Autism and free time is a lovely combination.

I WILL RETURN AND REDEEM MYSELF IN THE NEXT TOURNAMENT

Also that black guy now looks like he's from an early 5th generation vidya game.

fixed dead air

White in Argieland maybe.

<
is an abomination that should not be used

I'd agree, the advantage of > is that it actually 'points' towards the text or whatever. Doesn't it originate with older email clients?

...

It's been used to indicate which messages are send and received without having to show names, but the only example I can think of is fucking Worlds.com

Are you suggesting we shouldn't try and emulate the Worlds.com experience?

Worlds.com gamenight when?

...

Yo nightcrawler. The Challonge listing is all sorts of fucked. Pizza played as Allies in his first match and then as Nod, meanwhile we din't do the Losers Round 2 nor Finals matches.
What the FUCK is even that challonge list?

I couldn't make a single match for losers brackets, so I kinda just did whatever. Good website, would be better if it didn't the the whole sign up crap.

Ah. Fair enough, kinda shitty how that goes. Maybe we should actually do the final Euro vs Burger champ tomorrow if possible, can't wait to see how Obelisk plays out in mp.

You mean there are people that aren't AI that play this game?

We'd have to find a good time for both players, that'd be the bastard.

i know where to find some bad times

i could unironically go for a worlds.com exploration gamenight thing

Might be good for an off-weekend actually. Remind me to check for interest during The Ship's thread.

...

Uuuh… I actually doubt that… Having experience from Wargame…

One with the squid would be nice.

you have to go back

...

lurk for 6 million years before posting.

@13962472
umm…

what's the big deal?

...

...

FFFFFuuuck I remember playing this as a kid. Against my brother and our friends. We doing another one or RA2 anytime soon? or just plain C&C instead of RA? I was a huge rtsfag as a kid growing up with my dad playing vidya on the computer.

Probably in a month or two.
DTA actually has Tiberium Dawn units as well as RA1 units, we might do something like Tib Sun as well though.

So have you removed all the giant incests yet? :^)

Well im pretty good at RA2 and ZH also CNC3 but i have 0 idea about cnc1 and RA1 since i never even played them, let alone multiplayer

Oh, we might also do Generals. The real issue is many later RTS games won't let you run spectators on small maps (e.g. a 1v1 map can't have more than two players so we can't have people sitting out and spectating without forcing anons to 1v1 on 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 maps), that'd mean it couldn't even be streamed.

ebin 10/10

...

Just put a bigger map and then set the real map just before starting the game that's what the Rise of the Reds streamfags seem to do

The mod that has been stuck on version 1.90 for almost 4 years now?

Doesn't work for all games sadly, R.U.S.E. I know kicks the extra players.

Don't you mean version 1.87 Public build 1.2? Also that version is from 2016. :^)

Not even Doom gamenight? Because I recall seeing someone who actually can more or less count for top-tier.

There are always a handful of really good anons, I was just saying that the average skill level ranges from 'oh god I've never played this game and didn't read the FAQ' to 'I can just about reach a 1:1 K:D ratio'.
**I actually wonder how many anons have previously played a given game in a gamenight at least once, my gut says it can be as low as
~5% with the more obscure mods.**

NightCrawlerK98 is that you?
Not many, I assume. In fact, Doom is the only gamenight so far where I have actually played the game somewhat extensively before. If we'll have Quake(s) gamenight one day, then there'll be another gamenight, where I actually know how to play the game(s).

No, I actually know that stealth tanks aren't good against anti-tank turrets.
Depending how well Xonotic goes we'll probably do one of the Quake games reasonably soon. That or Elite Force.

I was tempted to create a What I watched, What I expected, What I saw post but I don't think there's any images that convey what we witnessed last night.

Hi Holla Forums
I've only ever played Blizzard RTS games. I'm really interested in CnC franchise, can you recommend which game to start with? I'd like to experience the full campaign story line, is it still feasible to play from the first game? Has it aged well? I don't want to play anything worse than say, Warcraft 1. Thanks, humbly yours.
user

CnC1 and RA1 didnt really aged that well, UI is pretty outdated, Graphic doesnt hold up that well compared do later cnc tittles. Stories are top notch, if you dont want to play those games i recommend you watching cutscenes from youtube. You can play Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 just fine though. Avoid Red Alert 3 and the game that shall not be named because you will only get disappointed by playing them

TibSun's UI is outdated as well. RA2 has the best UI of them all. I wish older games had UI as good as RA2's. That would make things immensely easier.

I'd host one. Only question is which.

Hey, for the fags that could not spectate last night:
DON'T FUCKING USE WINDOWS 10, GET A BETTER OS, EVEN LINUX WITH A WINDOWS XP VM IS LIKE 20 TIMES BETTER
forums.cncnet.org/topic/7898-windows-10-fall-creators-update-issues/

Star Trek Elite Force

Thanks guys, I'll watch the cutscenes of the older ones mentioned and skip right to RA2. Very much appreciated!

All the dubs and numbers say that it should be 3, but I think we should start with the first one, because it's the one that's most similar to Xonotic and if we do other 2, it would be interesting to see how much MP has changed between them. But 2 and 3 deserve a chance too. 3, because it's basically a classic, but I'd pair it with UT99 gamenight that should happen either before or after Q3, to make the experience complete for both games. 2, because the game just recently turned 20 and it would be a nice way of celebrating of it's anniversary, plus I'm curious what 16-32 player DM/CTF would look like there.

So far I still prefer the first one, honestly.
It would.

If /vg/ wasn't dead it would be a good place to make a thread for this game considering how fun these past few nights were.

Could just post in the RTS general. Or make a C&C thread to discuss C&C and organize DTA games.

If you want to go back to them after the first two games were released for free so you can download them with fanpatches, they play much better than Warcraft 1. Just be sure to play them at half resolution (because of the way they work with sprites larger resolution = more zoomed out and if you're more zoomed out than the size of the map it can look a bit weird).

Make sure to listen to their OSTs also, particularly Tiberium Dawn.

Isn't Quake 1 a lot more forgiving for newer players anyway?

The RTS general here on Holla Forums often does quick games like this.

moddb.com/mods/the-dawn-of-the-tiberium-age/tutorials/change-log

They'll make no sense though because they're all speaking to you in first-person.

All he needs to know in two flash files.
