Title: wat
Post by: Kolgena on June 23, 2011, 02:20:20 pm
Is this intentional? Because this it is damn awesome.

This is what happens when I select FS2 campaign as active while modding as BP2.


What exactly is going on? What city is that?

Whatever it is, it is some ****ing epic leet hax. Possible WiH p2 mainhall/spoiler? Massive Tev scorched-Earth campaign against, well, Earth?

Also who made/shopped the pic

(21:31:07) DarthGeek|2: awesome pic though
(21:31:12) MatthTheGeek: it's in BP1, used as alternate mainhall
(21:31:32) MatthTheGeek: when you're in the psamtik in FS2 campaign, for example
(21:31:58) jobttuta: sure?
(21:32:05) MatthTheGeek: pretty sure, yeah
(21:32:07) jobttuta: maybe if you're playing BP1 with BP2 selected as mod...

(21:32:39) MatthTheGeek: I don't think there's an alternate mainhall for BP2
(21:32:43) The_E: And yeah, it was/is in the DC

Wish it had been in BP proper.

Probably not really of high enough quality.

this quote right here speaks volumes about BP's standards, given the pic's actual quality :D

Screengrab from the Supreme Commander intro if I'm not mistaken.

I think he means actual resolution. It's piss poor in that respect, although its subject material looks amazing.

For the longest time I thought it was Mygeeto it looks surprisingly like the Mygeeto bridge scene (http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/c/c2/Mygeeto_bridge_battle.jpg), though the buildings are clearly different now that I look at it. The camera angle and general layout of the bridge + burning city are fairly similar though.

Given how far away Ganymede is I'm not sure if you could get liquid water like that even if it was terraformed.

Besides, this mainhall was scrapped. If we wanted to use it, we'd make up an explaination for this.  :)

Is that silhouette a Supreme Commander ship and not a Herc II? Man, the powers of suggestion...

What the hell? Sometimes I saw this picture and I thought it was a herc. But it is a Raynor :lol:

Viewed without zooming in on the attachment, it does indeed look like a silhuette of a Herc 2 with oversized engines.

You could change the atmosphere to be a bit reddish and say it was Mars. Then you'd have something for the next release.

Sigh, when I made a thread about it everyone was like "What are you talking about? It's all just a coincidence! Quit imagining things that aren't there!"Even Tutta was insisting that UEF was a common sci-fi acronym for an organization, which might be so but there was just too much other evidence.

The 'tutta says many things.

Occasionally, some of them are even true.
