Martian base commander Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 A day would not be a day if it didnt include some more screenshots First one shows my AMTF Incinerator Unit having some fiery fun with a Brainman.https://img274.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s...hedearth9cw.jpgThe creature is quickly engulfed in a blaze of super-heated fire.https://img330.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s...edearth24ei.jpgNext we shift a few 1000 miles away to where my Commando Unit were operating.This was my first mission AGAINST the humans believe it or not,after all this time too!.They were stubbornly hanging onto Egypt which I needed for resources,and I decided enough was enough,and for their own benefit they were to be forced into joining sides with me.Here the men quickly rush forward to secure the building coming up ahead.https://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=comm17su.jpgMy main Assault unit rush forward to capture the entrance.I must say that this team is EXTREMELY fast now due to their light protection and great agility.Speed,stealth and firepower are their keys to winning.https://img309.imageshack.us/my.php?image=comm22lh.jpgThey quickly killed 2 wandering humans on the perimeter,but they themselves came under heavy fire from a well protected individual who moved in on their rear.He mowed my man down as he tried to pull back to the main squad *poor bugger*.Still,its war and casualties are bound to occur,even though they are very rare for me.I have lost no more than about 10 individuals in the entire campaign so far.https://img309.imageshack.us/my.php?image=comm37uo.jpgThe rest of the team swarm around the building and burst in from 2 sides,instantly taking out the surprised occupants.https://img309.imageshack.us/my.php?image=comm47zu.jpgNow this mission took me totally by surprise.I had never operated on this mission design before and I couldnt initially see an exit from the deployment area,and my men also appeared to be trapped in some sort of holding area.I didnt know if this was a bug or not,so instinctively I raised the view a couple of levels and found I was underneath some sort of bunker with an exit ramp towards my right https://img506.imageshack.us/my.php?image=strangelevel2id.jpgAn interesting shot of some sort of comms relay station.https://img506.imageshack.us/my.php?image=s...gelevel21eo.jpgNext is my Cyborgs preparing to engage the WPA (wargot power arnour).I have to say that the Gatling type weapons on its arms did enormous damage to the Cyborgs,but my Engineer patched them up and they were up again to finish the tin can off.https://img506.imageshack.us/my.php?image=c...gassault1by.jpgAnd finally the current standing in my game.My growing territory is secure,with the Cultists effectively reduced to operating out of N.Africa only.I have a slight defecit of alien materials,but as I have excellent relations with the Psionics they supply me with loads of it in exchange for my other stockpiles.As I like to use my resources constantly (factories are NEVER idle) that is why my other resources may seem quite low https://img303.imageshack.us/my.php?image=geo5nd.jpgCome on folks,lets see some more of your encounters!

Martian base commander Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 F##k! this section is becoming like an encyclopedia for screenshots! And more are just around the corner,unless we run out of room that is 3 more to bore you with hehe This was a pleasant change in scenery tonight.This was the first time I had encountered this particular level layout.I reckon anyone that likes using snipers would have a field day on this one,due to the undergrowth cover.I dont really use snipers,but one is probably being planned for my Commando squad,who by operating at night they will have a tactical advantage with a skilled sniper among them I didnt even get chance to fire a single shot on this one,no sooner had I left the pod the humans had wiped the enemy out,and it was time to fly back home again https://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=e...friendly7os.jpgThis next one features my Psionics Containment Squad The Neuro Specialist got into position and fired her deadly Sonic blast at the target.https://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capturehim8xc.jpgSadly,it did too much damage to the target and they couldnt revive it again and bring it back to the pod https://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=o...thecount5sk.jpgOh well,hard luck ladies,better luck next time.NOTE: Matrch stands for Matriarch as I think they are all feminists Oh and er,evening to you too Gringo,I didnt see your last post.Nice shots.

Slaughter Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Well, I'm waiting for the patch to play on, so no screens from me until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gringo Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 *'The Patch, Boss! The Patch!', a little asian midget runs around Cenegas offices screaming* Until then Slaughter I'll just put a few up of soon so be famous Air Morelman! Air Morelman in Action! Air Morelman becoming Dead Morelman! The titles says it all! I wonder if I can make a picture called Air Wargot....Until later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preda Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I wonder if I can make a picture called Air Wargot....Until later.... Wargots are too bloody heavy. I never maaged to get thgem off the ground, no matter what I tried: bombs, explosives, charges, grenades, EVERYTHING FAILED! I did manage to lift a power armour though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gringo Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Wargots are too bloody heavy. I never maaged to get thgem off the ground, no matter what I tried: bombs, explosives, charges, grenades, EVERYTHING FAILED! I did manage to lift a power armour though Critical hits when burstfiring helped me out, Preda. The first Air Morelman would have flown of the screen if that tree hadn't stopped him. And that when he was hit with TWO critical hits in a row. The present Air Morelman was hit with a laserrifle on burstfire.... I don't use plasma rifle in burstmode yet since it drains my lousy powercells like when your sitting on the toilet with an exploding rearhole. But they might show potential. As might warp rifles if they got burst....Haven't built any yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian base commander Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Guess what I am going to do Dont worry though,I only have 4...for now I just wanted to show the lovely Plasma Shotgun in action.What an absolute killer improvement to the SG!I never REALLY used the SG before,but with the new Plasma Technology its a highly recommended weapon for your leaders (my opinion),so he can have the final say if anything should happen to break through your front line troops It is a great standard backup weapon for just about all your troopers in fact.It does MASSIVE damage to all organisms,and is bloody damn useful against the WGs too.A perfect implementation of plasma technology.https://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p...ashotgun2jr.jpgI just had to do another mugshot of my Anti Mutant Task Force (AMTF) too,and show off some of their new helmet toys.I love gadgets hehe.https://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=amtfmugshot8eq.jpgI manufactured my first Drone for my Heavy Mechanized Division tonight too,and here it is in action Crap ammo capacity,but its only there mainly for the Power Armour https://img467.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dronemissile9pe.jpgAnd its first kills of the evening https://img467.imageshack.us/my.php?image=blast9sz.jpg See ya...for now. Oh I almost forgot.Gringo,I managed to lift a Wargot about 15ft from the ground and sent it back nearly double that! I believe it was from concentrated AP MG fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian base commander Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Right guys,do I have some treats for you! These are probably my most interesting shots yet,and I hope you will like em too.They show the new view modes which I am currently playing around with,and to be honest,I love em.The shots were taken during a night mission.I have been waiting for ages now to go on night missions,and after this one I will be raiding a lot more at night now,it gives you a CLEAR advantage over the enemy,unless he has NV capability too. This first shot shows my drone firing incendiary rockets at the enemy,and it lit the night sky up like a bloody fireworks display! They were seriously at a disadvantage fighting at night,where as I could seem em a mile off.https://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nightfires0wy.jpgThis second one shows the magnificent fireworks display under normal conditions.https://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nightfires29iy.jpgAnd this last one shows my men peering into the inky blackness scanning for movement https://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nightwatch0wi.jpgShame the game has crashed a few times though tonight Hope you like em.

Preda Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I must know: how's your infra-vision working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYR Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Cyborgs with infraredvision are the best imho, i think i did not even research nightvision, what for a cyborg with superhuman observation and infra eyes can spot an enemy over 2/3 of the map,i doubt i can get any better. By the way that late in the game the only troublesome enemy is a psionic cultist with a m82, or worse two of them, exept those i cant even remember to recieved any critical damage, exept in a few hardcore indoor missions, usually when the game placed one of my guys in front of 4 enemys, still they got owned dual mp5 is just the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preda Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 It was clear that I wanted a screenshot of Riley's infra-view. Mine is screwed and I want to know if others' is as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian base commander Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Ill try and do one for tonight Preda. I must ask though,is it the performance or the actual visuals that is screwed in your IV mode?My performance is quite bad (patch may fix this?),and it DOES look a BIT garbled,if thats what you mean.It is quite hard to pick targets out due to the garbled nature of all the colours present.My night mode is fine though.It may be a universal problem Preda.As I say,keep a lookout tonight.

Slaughter Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Okay Riley, I finally managed to play without crashes due to the patch. Here's my team: I used a modified SPAS15 for Betty earlier, but the dual MP5s are a lot of fun! I also have a Psionic Sniper gaining her third level in training. As you can see I mostly use "execution" style setups at the moment, with riflemen to handle close encounters and snipers to handle long range. Then there's Betty checking indoors. She got a chance to test out her new MP5s well enough here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gringo Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 'From now on I shall be known as...Betty!', quote by Betty, formerly known as Master Pain, from Kung Pow. A few shots with the infravision viewmode. For those who were interested.The viewmode ran smoothly on my beast of burden and it was a quite different experience instead of the normal viewmode Mind you that these shots were taken after the patch was applied.... This was my first fieldtest with drones which was extremely succesful 18 aliens taking dirtnaps on the former field of battle. Shortly after the teams arrival they made contact with the enemy and lured the enemy in the trap with some wellplaced plasma grenades which was pretty devastating.Chokepoint Of course some of the buggers were trying to outflank me.A foiled outflanking But that was quickly taken care of.Alien under fire There was some minor resistance left to take care of after the major clash of drones and aliens. Explosion in infrared Things will change a lot with this patch....Indirect fire with grenades for one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian base commander Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Some nice shots there chaps I am SO glad the patch is out,I am just off to install it now *runs around urinating himself due to extreme happiness* haha See you later guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian base commander Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Preda,this is a shot of the IV mode I said I would post.Does this help?I actually expected it being cleaner looking with the patch,but I guess this is what its meant to look like.Performance in this mode is terrible too.https://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ivmode1az.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its wierd, though, that in your screenshot of Infrared that the local humans only have their heads show up. Does their standard jumpsuit have Infrared absorbing/cooling cloth?

Martian base commander Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thats what I thought,humans would show up like a Christmas tree on IV in real life!No,what I was wondering about was the garbled colours on the scenery in general.So,is the mode working as it should then? Cheers. Just a couple more shots. First one showing the bizarre colours in the IV mode.Is this how it should look now the patch is installed?im not sure,I initially thought the IV would have looked more colour co-ordinated in a way.I mean come on,would grass REALLY show up brilliant red?only during a forest fire maybe. https://img464.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ivmode25ay.jpgThis one shows one of my favourite weapons in action,the trusty Plasma Shotgun,the perfect Christmas treat for all those wannabe Commanders out there https://img464.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p...ashotgun4uf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
