    Questions:

    Whats the difference between this and homeworld 1, they both look very similar.
    Is the AI justa standard moron AI, that cheats on higher difficulty levels, has no tactics etc.


    Dont mean to be ragin on it like, it looks ok, but its just more of the same innit??


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,274 ✭✭✭Monty - the one and only


    Alot of it is the same(and thats not a bad thing) but its been enhanced, a hud update(which really helps...and can be annoying in some ways), new units, some of which are just down right nasty if used properly... sub systems, and sub system targeting...a really nice touch that...can blow chunks off of some of the larger ships.

    Dunno about the ai...have been playing lan games all night.

    Its more enjoyable to play than the original, I believe.

    I was waiting all night for the links to this demo. I'll get to play it later I suppose.

    hehehehehheheeee!!!! downloaded in 10mins, marvelous!
    trying to organise a new pc here at work so i'll be able to run it. :)

    Excellent demo. Music was exactly as it should be.
    The first mission was an almost identical copy of the first mission of HW while thats not exactly a bad thing it would have been nice to have a bit of innovation. All it was missing was adagio for strings :)

    Can't wait for it now, only 8 days to go but seems like ages.

    I downloaded it the other day but it's not working for me

    Specs:
    Athlon 1.3
    384 SDRAM
    32mb Riva TNT2 Ultra
    Windows XP Pro

    When I go to run it I just get a black screen for a second then it just returns back to the desktop. No error or anything.

    I found the error log in the Homeworld2 Demo/bin/release dir or something. I'll attach it. Any help is welcome.

    Dunno wot that means but,DirectX 9 has to be installed,if you havent already.

    I loved the first one. Can't wait for this. I'd have been happy with just more SP missions for the first one. When is it being released?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,317 ✭✭✭CombatCow


    It's being released on the 26/9/03 aswell as C&C Generals Zero Hour and MOHAA Breakthrough,better start saving ur cash.

    I've been asked by a few 56k modem dudes for cd's. I'd love to help everyone out, but It's just not feasible (unless I start a business) ;) to burn cd after cd. I'd suggest you guys check out www.fileplanet.com ($9.99 per cd) or www.filefront.com (probably about $8.00) , you can specify files and they will post them to you.

    Would people pay about €5-6 (including postage) for cd's full of downloads of their choice? /moderators. I'm only just curious ;)

    MOHAA Breakthrough - It's another expansion pack for MOHAA
