[nykel007]

That be something to do in mean time while waiting for JK2.

No news is good news, but good news is better.

We won't be able to download it from GalacticBattles.com, unfortunately.

 

If anybody finds some good mirrors when it is released, post them.

[matt--]

Why not?

And how would you know?

Wait a sec. I just read that they also announced that the next LEC chat would be another BattleGrounds one! We won that pole! It should be a JK2 Chat!!!

[TornSoul]

I haven't found it yet, so I guess they'll release it later today (whcih will be tomorrow for me)

[matt--]

Technically, they can hold off until 4am EST if my calculations are correct.

Even though I'm only a casual RTS player, I'm seriously considering downloading this bad boy, just to check out the goods. You know, get the skinny, find the scoop, that sort of thing.

[OnlyOneCanoli]

Whatever you say.

 

And I have sources, that's how I know. Their servers would be tied up if they had people downloading it from them.

 

And the GBG thing pisses me off. I knew that they would just "forget" about the JKII chat.

[OnlyOneCanoli]

Demo.

 

Not even worth it. 1kb/sec here.

 

If you find a mirror, post it!

[matt--]

FilePlanet has it.

 

I'm gonna boot into Linux and put it up soon...just don't spread that around...LucasGames network folk ONLY

[Jimi-Wan1587246508]

I think its worth it canoli. Besides, sometimes i get lucky enough and get 5.5 KB/Sec. I dont mind all that much, since ive been a veteran of dial-up. I cant remember how many times i left on my dial up all night just to download huge files.

 

Download Status: Ive been dowloadin this sucker for 5hrs, and im only half way through it. Stuck on 2.8KB/Sec. BLAST!

[matt--]

I got it through fileplanet. Once you're done with that 90 minute wait you get about 40 kb/sec. Anyone wanna multiplayer?

[matt--]

Im not impressed. Of course, I haven't played anyone in MP yet, any takers?

Ahahahahahah!! Playing the sneaky boy, huh?

 

EDIT: Matt, I'm in for a little game. I'll be on the zone.

 

EDIT2: Well, nevermind, I gotta get off the comp.

I shall download it tonight while i rest....

[OnlyOneCanoli]

Ahem... and those sources include Sherack. Hehehe.

 

Anyway, FlashGet works wonders. Tons better than DAP. I'll DL over night and play tomorrow.

 

BTW, I've constructed a taunt pack, if anybody is interested. Only 91 taunts, but interesting nonetheless.

[matt--]

Just played on Gamespy Arcade so I didn't see any replies, sorry Sherack Not much better than single player. Still no music!!! That makes me pissed.

[GonkH8er]

yes yes we know theres bad stuff.. but whats good? hows the gameplay? tell tell tell

[matt--]

It's boring IMHO

[matt--]

Gonna set up the comp next to me to just sit there while I advance, just to see all the tech levels.

[matt--]

My official opinion on the demo...

In the words of Jay Sherman..."It STINKS!"

[Guest Sherack Nhar]

Nah, it's doesn't stink.

 

Gameplay is pretty much like AoK, but there are major differences: Power Cores, Shields, and air units. These change the gameplay quite a bit.

 

The game is not disappointing - the demo is. It's too limited: only one single player mission, only one victory condition in multiplay, and a 75 unit cap. There's no way to play a regular skirmish!
