Hi All, I figured most of us here come from the above communities and there are probably quite a few old clan members about- thought it might be interesting to start a thread to try and rebuild some old alliances... I was / am in the old OTA / Spring PRO clan as PRO_[Jazz] so if any other PRO members are backing PA hi! any other clanners knocking about- I'm sure I've played many of you over the years!
I never was much for the clan scene for RTS games, mostly because my friends were generally pretty hopeless at them in general. They much preferred FPS over RTS which of course I was utterly hopeless at in turn. I never played TA (is this bad?) and I'm not sure I ever would now, for the same reason I couldn't play the original C&C... Which was my fated introduction to the RTS genre. I have a low tolerance for 8/16 bit gfx these days, it makes me say ick and instantly disconnect. I came late to the whole SupCom multiplayer thing and never really got past getting roflstomped by vastly more skilled players. This was something of a culture shock at first as I'd only played friends privately before and dominated them way too easily. PA seems different, the team armies game mode is pretty good and a good way for newer players to get a grip on general strategies and builds but beyond a certain competitive level, it is largely unplayable without active voice communications. Typing is never going to cut it when seconds count, on the path to possible victory. Hopefully thigs will change and I can play some decent clan games on PA for a change, I'm sure I'll see you out there soon too! Edit: Spellings.. :S
TA can be run @1920x1080 res if you set it to windows XP compatibility. and it looks good!! i'll screenshot for you i have TA installed along with its 2 expansion packs. Yes the graphics are old but at the higher resolutions it looks quite alright.
Image is @ 1920x1080 res, the game runs fine at this resolution i started a game and walked the commander over to a metal spot and built a metal extractor then qued him up to build on the other metal spots. If you want a better screenie i will play till i have a massive army 1000+ units then i'll screenshot .. lol Edited Screenshot 2, @1024x768 The pictures don't capture how good it looks still , as everything just seems to look better while its being animated in the game.
I miss the reclaimable buildings and cities from TA. I really do. Roads and such for urban warfare! :O Want to buy back.
