For those of you playing B22 I would recomend the DarkStorm Military technologies mod, it adds various actors, weapons, and Naval Railguns. Also I got a mod that puts in an R.P.C. (http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/Logicone/RocketPropelledChainsaw.jpg)

My favorite mods would have to be the A-X series of mods. Giant cannon, mech, flyer, and a couple of other things. Parts of them were great too. You could give a grunt the giant cannon's cannon and fire it away from the enemies base and kill the brain with the recoil. Granted the grunt kinda disintegrated but it was still an effective weapon.

Thanks Sean.

Also, you can technically get Cortex Command for free legally.

Data set up Trialpay, which means if you go through the hassle of signing up for something annoying, like realplayer superpass and then cancel before the free trial ends, you can get CC for free. 

Speaking of which, Darkstorm and KMF are both very good. The KMF needs some balancing and bugfixing, but the mech is great.

For sure this is how we do it.

For crying out loud, couldn't controls be mapped to keys rather than mouse movements?

This is my number one complaint.  I even posted a thread about it.  I think the developer is just way too in love with his cute little radial menu, but I hate the damn thing.  What kind of shooter doesn't let you press 'R' to reload?

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding you, but you do realize you can remap the keys to not use the mouse, right?

If you're just complaining about the radial menu, well, you get used to it. Or at least, it's a lot better than the previous version, which was the radial menu but only the cardinal directions. The menu feels quite freeing, I must say.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Well yes, you can change input to just keys. But unless stuff got changed from b20, all that did was map a button to open the radial menu which you then navigated with the direction keys.

I like the orkz race very much. They are quite reliable when it comes to jumping (they don't crush into pieces like robots), they have a bit lower height which allows them to walk freely in cluttered corridors and also they are just plain cool .

Yes, it's the radial menu.  It's cool but I don't like being forced to use it for simple actions like reloading.  Don't try to defend the inability to do something as basic as remap controls.  Despite being one of the most easily moddable games I've ever seen, CC has glaring inconsistencies, like that and the inability to edit cargo loadouts (yes, the default Rocket/Soldier/SMG/Digger is hardcoded).

You know that if you just click again it'll automatically reload?

[Footkerchief]

Only if it's empty already.

[ToonyMan]

This might help I bit, if you have one use a gamepad, you can reload really fast with a gamepad.  Well, I can.       Sadly, it's not one button, nothing you can do about that.

Only if it's empty already.

There's always something better to do with an almost-empty clip than just reloading.

[Footkerchief]

There's always something better to do with an almost-empty clip than just reloading.

First, no, this is obviously wrong.  If I've got a dummy nailgun at 2/8 and I need to go into that tunnel with a full mag as soon as possible, you think I'm going to take the extra second to shoot at nothing?  Hell no I want to mash 'R' right now.

Secondly, who cares about almost empty?  Most of my manual reloads are on almost full mags.  It pays to be ready.

This'll be even more important when shotguns with tube mags can be reloaded incrementally.

The radial menu has tons of other problems too, like the Buy button scooting around depending on what you're controlling.  Even if you develop a buy reflex for humanoid actors, try to use that same reflex on a rocket and you'll trigger the self-destruct instead.

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, the reload sucks.  It really sucked back in build 18, where instead of ctrl-R to restart, it was just R.  I don't know how many games I prematurely ended with that stupid button.

Unrelated, what game is that gif from, Footkerchief?

[Dari]

Looks like Realspace... or deadspace... whichever one is a space combat sim. I'm pretty sure they both are.
