General Gaming - The Arcade / Battlefield 3

So, what are your thoughts about it? I don't think there are many FPS players here, but I'm really hyped about it. It might be my first pre-ordered game  :P. Even with no screenies out and just a few promised features.

I'm only worried about prone. I never was able to play BF2 online, and I hated the excessive camping in both MW2 and BO (which I'm happy to say that I don't own), and I've never missed it in BC2, after months of playing it.

What are your thoughts?

I'm sure I'm posting in the wrong section, so PLEASE RELOCATE ME!!!! I'M LOST!!

Well, as I said in the title, I won't be exactly very active in the next 3 weeks, right now I'm in an exchange program to CA (U.S), and I don't thin it's fair to hog up the computer for two hours waiting for the next poster in exilian and spam the forums, so I won't be seen much here (as if I actually were)

Sooooooo, see ya whenever I come again!

This is the main thread for updates and discussion of 0AD.

The latest version of 0 A.D. is Alpha 16, and can be downloaded here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So basically, 0 A.D. is an RTS developed by Wildfire Games, a modding community that got together, starting with their project "Rome at War", a mod for Age of Kings (AoE II anyone?), which added the roman civilization to the game, with new units, building and all that. This mod became quite successful, and soon the team started working out on a total conversion. But the limitations of the engine, together with the abandonment of interest of the original game (with new titles coming out), rang a toll on the project. However, another branch of Wildfire Games, that was developing a fantasy game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Arda, suggested the possibility of creating their own engine, starting work and hope anew.

Now, after over 7 years of development, this project is starting to get to the final phase. Throughout the years, the developers have kept their fan base interested with concept art, historical articles and screenshots (which I must say are beautiful). Much time has passed, and the progress has been great. Today, one can download their "advanced" alpha version (second patch), and see the game oneself, free of charge. The goal for economic gains through their game isn't in their minds, as they only intend to enjoy and learn from this experience.

So I suggest you, fellow members, to check this game out. Even if you're not interested in checking out an incomplete game, just to keep an eye on it's development. The game has had a lot of thought into it, and it's comparable to a game where the developers are paid.


To be completely honest, it has been hard to write this... I got quite into with the page itself. I've actually learned quite a bit from their historical articles, and by god the game is amazing, considering that it's made entirely by part-time modders that won't even ask for you to pay for their product.

So, without further delay, here is their homepage, together with their latest news, download links, screenshots, historical articles, etc. Enjoy, and post your feedback! (And maybe you could include some rep, if you have some leftover ones you haven't spent *whistles*)
