Spring RTS Engine

it is a can no doubt about it

It's been bugging me since the first time I saw it about 8 years ago: isn't it a bad idea to dgun another comm?

what u mean bad idea its a common part of spring *A gameplay (except for in CA coms r dgun immune)

???

Umm, in OTA and almost every other TA mod, dgunning another comm ensures the death of your own because of the massive comm-death-explosion.

Which would be a particularly bad idea if you had the enemy on the run and at the brink of death.

depends on how u do it if u atlas a com and com bomb each other it could resort in dgunning each other

In that case the Gimp (or was that downloaded too?).

Gimp is from the expansion.

CA has absolutely zero relevance to a video about TA from the TA campaign. FFS, the comms only became Dgun immune in CA like 3 months ago.

still a common part of spring gameplay

k ill use another example comes are immune in supreme commander

It's kinda funny that the core campaign ends with a combomb.

1. That video is from OTA, not Spring.
2. Spring is a game engine, not a game. You can't dgun a comm in FF, E&E, Gundam, Eternal Struggle, EvolutionRTS, Spring 1944, you name it.

Spring *A gameplay << read it

i said nothing about spring as a game/engine watever dont need to explain myself ;P

It has absolutely nothing to do with spring! It's a video of the TA Campaign ending. Spring is not TA, no spring mod is TA, supcom is not TA. In TA it's a bad idea to Dgun another comm, it's completely and utterly irrelevant of how good or bad an idea it is in any other game ever, because in TA it's a bad idea, and that video is ONLY relevant to TA.

It's not a fan video or something... that's the actual video that played at the end of the game.

What Swiftspear said. I've been talking about OTA, why would someone mention Spring in the first place?

because he's batshit retarded?

When I dgunned the other com in WC3, there were 10 minutes of shiny but cheap-looking effects and then I won the campaign.

sheesh people here over react im talking about gameplay so what if i mentioned spring seriously u say i troll ?? every post about my post is a troll

Oh, gameplay...when I dgunned the ED player's flash rush in e2160 it gave me a strategic advantage which let me build mexes all over the map.

luls at moderators complaing about trolling and doing it themselves

anywayz staying on topic

that deffo is a can but i think the size proportions are a bit off looks huge (sumo sized) but that could be because its in a bad camera angle

It's the ingame proportions that are a bit adjusted to fit in the footprints while in the cinematics they can just scale it to whatever looks best. Imagine if they would make a cinematic showing a battleship and a tank, the battleship could easily be made much larger in the cinematics then the downscaled version you see ingame for practical reasons.

I noticed there is actually a second The Can in the movie, in the center at a longer distance so it's also hard to be sure especially with the crappy video quality, but the movement is definitely can-like.
