Anyone saw any pictures from it?

It has beams I tell you!!!

[Jabu]

Suspiciously Freespace-looking beams...

[Fineus]

I like it, and does it having Freespace beams make it a bad thing?  

[DragonClaw]

I've seen the movie.. it isn't exactly a beam... its more like a "instant transmition" laser that has an initial blast and then fades away, doing no more damage other than when it actually fires.

i loved IG2...even if it was a little heavy going at times.

If only they got the homeworld engine for the battle bits...

i found the AI to be slightly substandard in IG2, but immensely enjoyed the game.

  Well in the demo of IG2, they rushed me with cloaking and this weapon that damaged my ship and disabled it at the same time... oooo I lost so badly on the Hard level...

Yes, IG3 is only RTS from what I've read.

[The Claw]

I quite liked the whole space combat/ground combat/ empire management balance myself- kinda had a Babylon 5 feel to it in some ways...
 I agree, I have often thought how much better it would have been if they used the homeworld engine... and the ground control engine for the colonies  
 That is one hella cool game, I must say.

 Heh, just had a thought, if only it was moddable, imaging how cool would a B5 mod be  

[Snakeseyes]

Well, sorry Claw, no ground fighting.

About the moddable part, yes, that was my first thought, B5 mod, FS mod, even something like HomeWorld 2 mod (if they never finish that).

But I think that because it's a RTS, it isn't HLP stuff. I mean HLP covers only space-sims, am I right?

[DragonClaw]

  no ground combat? bahhh!!!!


oh well, I hope the space combat will make up for that

Well, it just happened that way actually. We'll see yet, we are all very interested in anything sci-fi-ish.  

[Fineus]

It was originally going to be Quake3 after FS2... funny how things happen eh?  

[The Claw]

 Yeah, I mean look at quake 3. UT is so much better  

[Bishop Gantry]

UT is just as crappy as Q3 no singleplayer

If you want a Q3 versus UT thread (if you really must then start a new one and keep it clean and pleasent... I've seen how ugly that arguement can get and I'll 0wn the topic of it gets nasty
