Yes it would have. If you had been the BGreen gunner, Colossus' beam cannons, heat sinks, reactors, coffee makers and every single piece of hitech wired into the power grid would have just melted/vaporized. Then again, with any luck the Sath might've also been history, but that wouldn't have been a significant victory.

The Colossus wouldn't have died if I was one of the BGreen gunners.

Really? BGreen recharge is 30 seconds. BFGreen recharge is 10 seconds. you wouldn't have time to disarm all of the BFReds or do enough damage to the Sathanas before your ass suddenly became very hot indeed.

The Colossus Hades wouldn't have died if I was one of the BGreen SSL gunners.

Fixed.

[Snail]

It WOULD have died if I were GTA Command.

[colecampbell666]

You would have been marginally better than GTA Command.

[Snail]

And you would be AS good as GTA Command.

[colecampbell666]

'Least I wouldn't suck as much as GTVA command.

[Jeff Vader]

OK, kids. Let's not get into the whole 'who sucks as much or more than someone else' ****. Let's just agree that the Colossus is/was doomed and we all would have sucked, had we been the gunners of the Colossus.

We all know that [V] disabled the Colosuss in the last second since the missions waypoing and hte big C's axis were fubar. It's not supposed ot be disabled. The communication confirms it.

And yet you don't stop to consider that maybe if the Colossus had followed the waypoints the way they were set out before 's last minute changes the battle between the Colossus and the Sathanas might have actually lasted a little longer?

[BengalTiger]

Long enough to make the Shivans send another Sathanas?

That would be a good and unpredictable ending.

That's what I was implying. A blonge,r more heroic battle would be so much better. A heroic death, all gunz blazing.
Not just sitting there taking a punding. I don't recall the collie ever fireing a single shot at that sath... the Sath is jsut 100m out of hte BGreen range. Come to think of it', why didn't the collie overcharge the beams then?

Mah.. for a more heroic death I moved the sath 200m closer to the Collie. Now the Collie fights back and does some serious damage to the Sath.

[karajorma]

I suspect that changed the mission so that they could ensure that the Colossus was in the right place for the final confrontation with the Sathanas. Without doing that ensuring that the Beast and the Sathanas always arrived in a position to be an immediate threat to the Colossus would be much more difficult.

That would've been a cool way to do it.  The Big C slugging it out with the Sathanas and barely scraping out a victory.  The admiral starts up a speech about GTVA might when suddenly another Sathanas pops in and wastes the Colossus while Command screams for you to get out of there.

[Jeff Vader]

How 'bout a JAD-ish and really humiliating victory, in which the Big C^TM barely defeats the Sathanas, when suddenly another one jumps in and rams the Colossus? Now there's a classy way for doing things.
