Lets see some screenshots Outlaw,please. Sounds cool.

 

I haven't played in a bit...plus I'm not on my computer. But as for shots of the game, they are everywhere.

By the way Sixes, I completely owned the map yesterday with the tank you had as a avatar (before it was changed to the jester). Oh man, it was beautiful seeing the terrorists being blown to hell by a LEGION of little battlemasters! :D

You played the game yet? I used the best battlemasters in the game...from the China Tank General. His Battlemasters not only cost cheaper than the rest, but like all Battlemasters, when grouped in a party of 5 each of them hit harder and take less damage, they can be equipped with auto-loaders which means they can fire 3 rounds at one time quickly, they can be equipped with uranium shells which makes them hit harder as well, and they can be equipped with nuclear engines which makes them move faster and when destroyed leave behind nuclear fallout. Add that to the normal promotions they get (units become more combat effective when promoted) and you have an extremely deadly force.

China Tank ,thanks for the info. No I'm not playing it yet. Just reading the site. There are alot of good things being said about that tank. I should be up and running by the end of the weak.

Oh but don't get me wrong. Nearly any unit can be a turning factor in a battle IF put in the right hands. Battlemasters just so happen to rank high up there. I believe the Paladain and Scorpion tanks have pretty good reputations as well.

Well lets kinda compare...I'm no super expert (I have had my losses...trust me, some quite embarassing.) but we can kinda break down a few of the MBTs (main battle tanks) here.

 

Scorpion: GLA Tank, medium armor, fast speed, light cannon, can be upgraded from salvaged vehicle parts they have destroyed, can be upgraded with side rockets, can be upgraded with toxin shells, can have their ammo upgraded to do more damage, can be upgraded to self destruct (though this is not usually recommended), can be camoflagued

 

GLA teams are usually good for sneak attacks and hit and runs. Cheap to produce. I don't use any other GLA army but the Demo general so it could have other abilities I have no noticed. In any case, this tank is good for attacking light armor and their rockets can kill infantry as can their toxin shells but they are better used in large groups in conjunction with Quad Cannons as these tanks are primarily vehicle killers.

 

Paladin: USA Tank, heavy armor, heavy gun, laser defense against missiles and infantry, medium speed, can be equipped with scout, battle, or hellfire drone for extra firepower/sight

 

Any vehicle is good used in groups, this one doesn't need such a large group due to its power. USA depends more on technology and technology you shall have with this tank. Its laser can kill infantry but it has a slow firing rate so it is better used in conjuction with humvees. Though effective, it is quite expensive and some argue it is not much different from its little brother the Crusader.

 

Battlemaster: armor between the Scorpions and Paladin, fast, cheap, abilities explained in past post including being able to equipped nuclear shells

 

Deadly in large groups as said before. Not true infanty killers however. Use in conjunction with gatling tanks. China relies on heavey numbers and brute force to kill its opponents.

I still have my Atari Pong with flip toggle switches to change between games.

 

I hooked it up once, to show my sons...

 

All 3 of them looked at me like I was from another planet and had lost my mind.

 

Then I told them about my VIC-20 computer!

My pong has been lost but i still have my original atari and about 25 games.My daughter gives me the WTF look when i get it out and play it.

That is the big difference between us."

I LOVE the old school stuff.

 

The thing I love about the Nintendo Wii is you can download the old stuff to the hard drive...even stuff from Turbo Grafx...8 bit Nintendo etc.

 

I have been lucky enough to get my daughter into the old stuff as well as the new.

I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
