Seconded/Agreed, even if no story will be implemented right now at least work out the weapons and techs for each faction please :) .

EDIT: for instance imo there isn't a way to be a CQC or a sniper right now, their game-play just doesn't work as well as randomly spraying bullets, I feel like you should at least add a few new features, for instance real melee, and in the words of asklar, "We need guns which causes "status effects" to the target.
Guns that when shot will de-limb targets, make them bloat wildly and gib, set them on fire, make them desintegrate, make it bleed to death, a classic "toxic gas" grenade, biological/chemical warfare, you know, that's what CC is lacking.

We've got plenty of gun-powder, we need advanced weaponry.", also it would be nice to see some kind of actual tech tree type system, where for your faction you could unlock more advanced weapons and maybe even characters.

Whoah whoah whoah, they want to complete the game this year. Also, have you not played the latest cve test? Its pure sex.
But honestly, I agree, I have no use of sniping anymore and the status effects from zombies 09 are amazing. Seriously, why not incorporate it? Its right there.

I feel honored by your comment =D

And after reading about the idea of the metagame, what Data posted, and what weegee posted later, I just can't do anything but agree. At the beginning I didn't like the idea of the metagame, I prefered more a linear campaign, but after reading some bits, I realised that the best part of playing Cortex Command is creating my own backstory.
(Playing in the prison by Gotcha! with Ronin's inside is a perfect scenario for a prison riot =P)

And I can't believe that CC is finally reaching it's final steps. When CVE gives birth to a game in the CC universe, I think I'll miss the classic RTE (if that's the name of the actual engine =P).

Yes the Metagame is sounding more and more like a good idea. I too was thinking I will miss waiting for CC's new builds and miss the RTE engine, but hey maybe Data will make CC open source sometime after he is done.

This is my hope. We've already seen the power of the community when it comes to modding, especially that one online mod which did what most people considered to be impossible - realtime online play, albeit with some issues (like only having one, single, predictable weapon). If the project is opensourced to the community, it's very possible big leaps in development which are not possible right now due to numerous factors could be made.

I don't give a damn about anything else in CC; CC is perfect in my eyes... BUT there is one thing ripping my brain to tiny unidentifiable pieces!
LAG just please please sort out the dayum fps issue (lag) how could I play the meta-game if one-man-army plays at 10fps? :(
One Problem.
One Favour.
Loads and Loads of Victims!



Edit:Oh no wait oops sorry guys it's fine....I don't get 10fps. I GET 3FPS :x

Why would you complain about performance issues when, at the cost of 'coolness', you can play it at 500 frames per second.

Good question; this computer makes the game 100% better it's a UMPC thus smaller thus harder to see the graphical flaws... with this set up the graphics look beautiful, it is 100% portable (imagine CC on an aeroplane) you might say "what about a laptop" I'd say @can you fit your laptop in your pocket, is your laptop the perfect res, does your laptop allow you to use touch screen with CC, does it have the perfect control setup for easy access just using your thumbs." playing CC on my 12gb ram 1tb hard drive i7 ultimate win7 PC feels like im not putting the PC to its full potential why play a 2d game. have I explained myself?

The basis for your argument is that you want to play Cortex Command on your portable PC, because it 'improves the graphics'.
However, your portable PC cannot handle the game at playable frame rates.

Solution: get a magical über powerful pocket PC that can run Cortex Command whilst still fitting in your pocket.

Realistic solution: play it on your other PC. You're complaining about frame rate issues when you have an immediate and accessible solution to the problem. Besides, the game is meant to look like that, and reasoning that 'the PC is not using it's full potential' is not a viable excuse.

Hahahahahahahaha... wait, you're serious?
You do realise that you're trying to run this on something with generally less power than a netbook right? Try running Cave Story, if that lags its DEFINATLY not an optimization problem. If it doesn’t, it still isn't anyway, you need to accept the fact that your freaky tablet\netbook hybrid can't run some games (I hear monkey islands pretty good, try that, it should be able to run lag free on your... thing)

Edit: Dammit, ninja :sad:

Lads trying to act flash isnt proving to well for you is it...considering CC used to play on this UMPC at 140fps full res and 200fps 640x480 because of game booster...but then its stopped and is only running at around 10-20 fps now.

Look, the game was designed with PCs in mind (meaning a tower or an up to date laptop). The fact that it ran on your tablet thing is great, it’s nice to see it can be used effectively on a wide variety of unsupported platforms, but this does not mean the game is in need of any optimization. I would suggest trying to fix the over clocker you mentioned, although to get back to the speeds you mentioned before would probably damage the poor things cpu, maybe tone it down a little.
Anyway, hope this was helpful.
