Is it for the campaigns and scenarios?
Is it for the (semi)realistic physics?
Is it for the ludicrous gibs and explosions?
Is it for the mods?
Is it for mod making?
ect.

I personally play CC since I find it's a fun way to learn the basic structures of programming.
Even though Lua isn't a "real" programming language (I believe it's just a programming language extension right?), the basic programming structure and logic is the same, plus it's just awesome seeing a bunch of lines you've typed out manifest itself as some sort of mysterious power in the game.

So for what reason do you play CC?

Physics, crazy things that can happen while your playing like: (Drop-ship engines raining from the sky and chopping your head off), then mods

1:unlimited modifications that make the game fun
2:all is destructible
3:has an unique gameplay
4:hell fun to play it with friends
I love the idea of the game
a 2d pixel shooter where you have a big catalog of weapons,actors and crafts.
you can play in any gamemode you want,you can make your own bunker,etc,etc

It is the only game in which I can easily make all my perverted fantasies come to life.

Asklar has pretty much voiced how I feel about this game, it has allot of flaws and may always have em, but its one of a kind.

I play for the engine, direction, and mostly what Asklar means. So much can be done, it's brilliant. Being able to inject your designs and add some tangible play is always attractive for the self responsible playstyle and modding.

I play for that moment where you blow up a dropship and it's engine travels twice across the map then lands on the face of the dude infront of you.

This line cannot possibly suit your avatar any better.

at first it was out of interest,
then it was because it fun
Then them mods (around the time i joined up here)
and now it just for lulz.

You can do an entire game in Lua if you want.

I you want to know more about the difference between Lua and a "real" programming language, I encourage you to look at what's been said here.

In CC, I like the physics and all the fun going with it. Well, I was playing back when it worked with Wine. I really hope Linux support comes soon. I know the devs are working on it, but it's kinda long.

I play cortex command because it's funny as ♥♥♥♥. All the time. Every day.

Pretty much this, or when the engine takes out another dropship and the the burning wreckage crushes the dread that had your guys pin.

1) I love CC because it has unique gameplay every time you play even the same map.
2) I love CC because none can know what will happen in every single match.
3) I love CC because of his pretty fun physics.
4) I love CC for its pixel terrains that can be totally modified.
5) I love CC because (imho) it doesn't need mods to be fun.

This game's also great for making awesome animations for my physics class presentations.

F=ma
P(momentum)=mv

Have never looked cooler before.

I love CC for everything it is, and it is the perfect game for me, when I saw it I just clicked.
