| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01  | Westood's new RTS game looks pretty awesome! I Think this is what C&C should have been. The graphics are really great, and the gameplay looks good too. Some of the features: Command one of 3 unique sides - Select your best hope the noble Atreides, the evil Harkonnen or the secretive Ordos to seize the Imperial Throne. Prove you can lead. Prove you can reign. Build alliances with 5 distinct subgroups - Ally with any of 5 powerful subgroups, such as the stealthy Fremen, to gain access to amazing new technologies and units. Explore strange distant worlds - Will you do battle on the oceanic paradise of Caladan, the industrial wasteland of Giedi Prime, or the icy planet of Draconis IV? The battle for Dune takes many paths. Make large-scale strategic advances - Plot out your own strategy for victory through over 33 individual territories on the large-scale campaign map. Choose your ground-level tactics - After choosing which territory to invade, employ cunning ground-level tactics to achieve critical mission objectives. Control diverse new units - From the stealthy Dust Scout to the hulking Minotaurus tank, you'll have no shortage of unique units from each side. Many units have dual modes for attack or defense. Choose which mode fits your tactics. Preserve your units for later upgrades - Preservation of units overtime turns newbie forces into battle-hardened veterans packed with extra firepower and abilities. Experience the epic Dune universe in 3D - Plunge into one of the greatest science fiction sagas of all time - now in 3D. Take part in Dune's political intrigue, social upheaval and all-out warfare. Even ride the legendary Sandworms! Wage war online - Take on human opponents head-to-head over the Internet through our free service, Westwood Online. Set up an instant action battle against the computer or team up with a friend to cooperatively annihilate the opposition. http://westwood.ea.com/ DasDoomper  Yes, I know my sig pic is disturbing. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00 | Dune2 was the prototype for C&C and Warcraft. Dune2000 was a great sequel, but lacked the ability to make multiple units of the same type simultaneously. -----  E-mail: JustJon@opieanthony.com AIM: JonNeedsSN Adoptee: whodawhatawhata and MamA CaZ You listen to me! While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is I am a nay-sayer and a hatchet man in the fight against violence! I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King! My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method...is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman. | ||||
