Cortex Command is my favorite PC game. It's so Goshdarned fun and addictive I can't stop playing it (well, almost! ). The point is, I've been trying to share the game with some of my friends, hoping they would enjoy it as much as me, but unfortunately they didn't.

So I was thinking... why not have cc users comment their usage of the game, and their favorite aspect of it? It can be anything. The style, the graphics, the innovative design, the physics, the modding, etc.

Only two rules:

1. You can only state one thing, so make it the best.

2. Try not to repeat the same thing someone's already said.


Mine is: The whacked-out concept. I mean, intergalactic gold-diggers who've freed their brains and put them in bunkers, from where they can remotely control bodies and call aircraft support, in order to destroy each other?

This game Rocks.

This game ROCKS.

Not exactly my favorite PC game, not enough content so far. But my favorite part would have to be multi-player. I love playing the game with my brother, It's so fun when theres an epic moment and much hooting and hollering comes from us.

Now, I don't know everything about this game, but my favorite aspect so far is the persistent gibs, which not only stick around, but actually influence the gameplay.

"It got a lot easier to hold all those enemies off by myself after about a half hour, because their corpses piled up so high there wasn't room to fit through the door anymore!"

That may have actually happened a few times in real life, but I've never seen it in a videogame before.

Moddability. It is why this game is good. If it weren't moddable right now the game would be fun for about two hours.

Moddability also gives the game almost infinite replayability.

Physics.
Without that, you couldn't have DS's rolling, crushing people, or as much fun.

The fact this game is based on scifi universe. (Modding and physics was said already, so this is my 2nd best part)

What. Vanilla CC is probably more fun than with a bunch of gamebreaking mods.

I agree with you on that. Certain mods DO break the game. But all you have to do is eliminate those and keep the non-owerpowered ones.

This Topic as a Whole: Your favorite Random punctuation.

Tbh physics and with that the destructibility. Without that there'd be nothing between this game and, say, Soldat.

Soldat has a better community IMO but that is a different story

Soldat is fun, but there arent any vehicles like in CC. (At least in my experience, I only have the demo because i dont think its worth the money)

My favorite thing about this game is the fact that the "confused" smiley to the right of this textbox is the blue clone. y'know this one:

naawww just kidding. I love the destructive power of all the mods out there. From nukes to lightsabers, they just keep getting better and better.

Soldat is 100% free to play, bro, but this thread is not about SOLDAT

One of my favorite things about CC would have to be the physics. I used to take rockets and dropships and make them fly around the stage at top speed until an enemy dropship or rocket got in the way, causing them both to go flying at high speeds into the ground.

I like how you capitalized aspect
that got my contribution to this topic guaranteed.

I like the campaign.
Or at least what potential there is for a campaign. It's kinda been touched on before (the first post and numgun's) but intergalactic struggle for a single planet and it's moon with some hella tight weapons and robots and GOLD! Also, the rockets are cool. And so are the pixel graphics. And the intro music.

the non-linearity.
