Otto von Bismark

If he is a dev, he shouldn't be bashing other RTS games. Especially Homeworld which recieved high ratings from several sites(check IGN and GameStats). In fact, EaW probably won't recieve as high of a rating as HW did.

Did I say that I had? No. I merely changed my mind....people do that sometimes. I was criticizing Solo's acting, not the acting as a whole.

What the devil is HM? Hobo man? And why do you say...with the route WE took? You're so awesome, I'm glad you come to this site and give us information about this game. And as for not using home world's perspective in games, that sounds like a smart idea.

Really...Well, Battlezone was a piece of crap. I didn't mean to say that 1st person is the only new thing. Look at Spore.

The space combat in EaW is what's lame.... Punnage.

I believe that heroes should die, but come back to life, like in AOE III and BfME(you have to buy them again though).

My my that is one massive post. Is it legal?

You can't really criticize EaW's voice acting till you've seen it's cutscenes. So shove off, or something.

It doesn't need to be like Homeworld's but it should be somewhat similar(boy that sentence was WEIRD!).

RTS games have been evolving at a rather slow pace; hopefully this new 1st person thing'll help the genre along. The RTS genre has had the least amount of innovation in my view, perhaps 2006 is the year for change?

Yeah...tis lame. Decapitated moose...hee hee.

"Rebels are fighting for same reasons the CIS was" True, but the rebels didn't have the funding that the CIS recieved from the Trade Federation and other seperatist factions. Ah man, I forgot to get eggs at the grocery store.

Homeworld's space combat blows EaW's out of the water(cliche...). It's scale was set up as GIR says, so you can zoom out and see fighters as little dots etc. Homeworld's interface is still my favorite for space combat, but Petroglyph probably wanted something original. I'm not even sure they pulled that off.

Shut up, green doggy thingy. Rebel troopers are supposed to better than the imperial troopers(singularly, you've seen the movies, stormies always outnumber rebs 5/1). Stormtroopers don't need to be awesome shots...the empire's wealthy enough to hire billions of bucket heads(I'm not really referring to the game).

Now that I think about it, why is there fog of war? You're overseeing the battles, not fighting in them... Hmmm. By the way...An RTS game is currently being developed enabling the player to enter the battle(in first person). It's called Ghost Wars. http://pc.ign.com/objects/742/742166.html

I can see your point and I no longer oppose this demo meddling. But I will wait for the full version to come before screwing with files.

"Uuugh, the hacking again! When Otto von Bismark says "hack" he means mod." Lol...that's why I said hack/mod at the end. Makes ya itchy, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT?!! Maybe someone'll start a Voice Actor's Guild...then we'd get some trained actors in games. I've heard that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will feature the voices of Patrick Steward(Captain Picard, don't shoot!) and Sean Bean(Boromir-Lord of the Rings). GTA: San Andreas also had terrific voice acting with the likes of Samuel L. Jackson giving life to its characters. Leonard Nemoy(Spock, no I'm not a trekkie) lent his voice to Civilization IV, a strategy game, so it looks like games these days are collecting more talent. So why is the voice acting terrible in EaW? If Solos voice stinks, why don't they pay a bum on the street to replace him. I can guarantee that his voice'll sound better...

"Now you should probably apoligize to all the modders on this board before GS hits you with something or Fosh hits you with his Ewok Stick Thing of Doom!" Sorry, wrong person. That was Dork the Hunter's comment. Terms in the English language often mean different things with different people...I see editing a game file to adjust gameplay without any actual work as hacking. If I offended any hacker/modder/cracker...sorry. I LIKE dot dot dot...

Maybe they're guessing..or something. Or they hacked the game. On the Republic Commando demo a simple cheat would unlock all the weapons(many of them weren't included in the demo). Any cheats for EaW yet? Nope, just hacks/mods.

Okay....Steven(ingenius name you've got there). Why don't we pretend that it's all BALANCED, and okay...okay? Okay. Okay! I actually don't think any side's OVER-powered, both sides've got special K. Mine thought processes are a bit scoooooty write no.............

Cnc, I find your lack of pants disturbing. And stop swearing so often(actually, the swearing I don't mind, it's the blasphemy). The voice acting doesn't really matter when it comes to an RTS game.....their not exactly built for atmosphere. Has anyone actually played an atmospheric RTS? "Company of Heroes" looks promising. Oh, and Beowylf....learn to spell "heroes."

People always talk of rebels being overpowered...but it's often the opposite. That's why we love being imperial.

Uhh....Personal attack? I merely said I was fed up with modding before game release. I never once said there was a problem with modding; I merely look down upon pregame moddage. And you want me to apologize...for what? I shouldn't have included modding with cracking, but some of the mods people make are made through hacking into game files and scrambling or editing them. Some mods are different from others, but a few are just downloadable hacks.

This game would be too freakin' easy without fog of war.

Whoa, somebody's got a personal bias against da rebels. Both factions got their good stuffs. Imperials have awesome bigguns, da Rebels got awesome littluns.
