[QUOTE]Originally posted by Da_bang80: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [qb] I played a Trek ship sim once, don't remember which, it had a linear weapons layout; if you had a list of four phaser banks and two torpedo tubes, you had to fire the four phaser banks and the first torpedo bank in order to fire the second torpedo tube, you couldn't choose which weapon to fire when. Just like Mechwarrior 2, every push of the trigger moved the firing icon one row down on the weapon setup list, truly dumb. OK, let's burn up all the long-range missiles on these pesky outlying scout mechs, nothing but medium laserbeams left for the core defenders! [/qb][/QUOTE]You could set your weapons groupings and fire one after another like you said or as a whole group. I haven't played MW2 in so long I almost forget what it was like. I usually liked to separate them into energy weapons, missiles, and ammunition based weapons like the Gauss or Autocannon. Then further dividing them into sub-groups based on range since it's obviously a waste to launch your SRM's with your LRM's when you're trying to hit a target way out of range of the SRMs. For me there was nothing better than putting a pair of AC20's on a jump-jet equipped Timberwolf and doing some close in killing. For fun I would have a Dire Wolf with a couple dozen flamers on it. A single alpha strike with that and you both blow up from massive overheating. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] Legacy's screenshots were a fanboy wet-dream- a bunch of FASA designs realised in 3-D! I really REALLY wanted that game not to suck: it seems that it was developed for the X-Box and only adapted for PC as an afterthought- even the printed instructions for certain things are obviously meant for the X-Boxd controller. Armada 2 is still pretty fun to play....at least it is when I beat my room-mate's ass with those cardie dreadnaught weapons! I've never been able to get of those fucking mods to work though- and they look soo damn cool! Anyone try that? [/qb][/QUOTE]You're absolutely right with that Xbox comment, I seem to recall a few times the game would ask you to push the "start" button...WTF!! I never got a chance to play Armada 2, but there were some decent mods for the original, namely the Millennium Mod IIRC. You just had to try one and hope it wasn't horribly unbalanced, plus the installation procedures weren't exactly user friendly. [/QB][/QUOTE]
