Another thing I would like to see is Star Wars games set in the New Jedi Order series. How many want to try their hand at blowing up a Yuuzhan Vong coralskipper???:D

well, for now they're working on WOW, to my knowledge, blizzard never worked on more than two games at the same time, so you have a little chance that the next one is SC2.
Or maybe a completly new universe, since the "diablo" one is obviously closed now.
SCREW CANON!

Yeah. Now my hero can sit back and relax until she dies.:D

By the way, does anybody know what's inside the limited Edition of Warcraft 3??? I heard there's a DVD inside.

Relic would whup Westwood's arse. See the thing is, Relic is actually imaginitive! When they ship a game, it's something new! The two most original games were thier first, and the new one in development, the on-line RPG.
At first they were actually orignal, advancing the genre, now, they're forgotten, remembered only as a company releasing re-hashes of old games.

P.S. If that screenshot is true, it would be the first time one fighter could shoot down another, while actually moving, and not standing still!

The game, the dvd with the cutscenes in all their glory *they'r :eek:*. commentaries about the game and stuff. There's also a cd with the music from the game too I think. I might get the collectors Ed. for this stuff.

I said I didn't know, I didn't say it was not like that :p

But in TS they just stood there, and this is how it went:

"Hi Bob"
"Hi Tom"
"Hey Bob, I just got an order to kill you, is now a good time?"
"Yea, that is so wierd, I just got the same order to kill you!"
"Wow! Talk about your twighlight zone! Well, I'm going to shoot first this time, ok?"
"Sure, take your time"
PPSSSSSEEEEEOOOOOWWWW!!!!
"Arlight, your turn"
PPPPPPHHHHHHSSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!
"My turn?"
"Yep"
"Alright, here we go"
PPPPPPPSSSSSEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!!!!
Etc, etc, etc :p

Bah, C&C series has been degenerating for long, I don't expect anything from the new one. The Best "clickety-click"-type RTS ever is the original Total Annihilation, I still play it on LAN with my friends. Of course with the TA unit compilation pack, which gives you like 200 new units. If you want tactics however, play Close Combat 2. Funny how the whole RTS genre hasn't really advanced at all in 6 years.

I've done some pretty complex tactics with Homeworld. However, don't play it online, because all people there like to do is use the triple corvette wall.

Well, it does indeed look pretty good, but I don't think that it looks that much different, except for graphics. Actually I don't see anything different in it, but maybe I have to wait and see.

There is already Heroes of Might & Magic IV. And there indeed are a lots of games which need updating, but even for C&C it wouldn't be bad if it'd actually have much of new things, not a few.

The only way aircraft could fire at one another in ANY CnC game is if they are targeted before they lift off.  Choppers and the like have air to air capabilities, but in no WW game to date have actual aircraft been able to shoot at other actual aircraft.  (Harpy in TS counts as an aircraft, jumpjet infantry counts as a helicopter-like unit.  Screwy but true.)

wrong: in RA: the yak and the mig, in TS, the banshee. all fly like fighters. and yeah, you have to target them before they lift off.
anyway, why are we arguing about that :confused:
