Re: B25 first impressions
excellent feedback and points! Especially the crash dump is helpful - can you explain under which circumstance that happened? The last autosave should be shortly before so you might be able to reproduce it. If so, please paste the metagames.rte/autosave.ini and explain exactly what to do to make it crash again pls!

Re: B25 first impressions
unfortunately i didn’t try the campaingn, because i lack friends interested in this. my friends just play FPSs and RTSs. and assassin’s creed.
what i noticed, though, is that it doesn’t give you explanation what to do; i scanned the terrain several times with different budgets, trying to actually get into the fight before i noticed that you have to click the button in the lower right corner yet another time.
the new AI is good, it wasted me once when i didn’t bring ai reinfocements to the surface.

Re: B25 first impressions
Robot 2's jetpack sucks. The homing missile launcher doesn't work now. Menus take up half the screen.

Re: B25 first impressions
I got the game after B25 so I have no idea what it was like before. From what I read, the jetpack got nerfed or something, but it doesn't seem that bad when I played. Game is looking good so far at least.

Re: B25 first impressions
He will never ever add multiplayer to the game, at least not over internet.

That's not what I said. He will never implement multiplayer in the game.

Re: B25 first impressions
Well, first run on B25, and there are two things that instantly caught my eye:
1)The AI is not an idiot. If a soldier has a sniper rifle, it will actually kill guys from a distance instead of waiting for the enemies being on its face.
2)The mine and mine disarmer are awesome.

Unoptimized and broken. Pretty much. Too bad.

Re: B25 first impressions
I'm not sure if this is intentional, but the Linux build from the HIB 2 page doesn't have the metagame (same situation as B24), and the jetpack sound insanity is still there, which in my opinion is also a source of some of the game-breaking lag.
Of course, I understand that it's ported by a third party, but feedback is feedback, right?
