Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
I've always been an RTS fan (TA is still one of the best games ever IMNSHO
) and love anything that lets me customise and tweak, so when I read the Warzone review I immediately bought it.
I stumbled across this remake when I was looking for modifiable RTS engines so I could test some games ideas I have floating around in my head - I've been "intending" to get into game development for the last decade (been on a few mods, etc.) but I'm just to damn unmotivated![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

Take my advice; if you're not very motivated then don't start your own game from scratch, it'll never finish.cruise wrote: I've been "intending" to get into game development for the last decade (been on a few mods, etc.) but I'm just to damn unmotivated![]()

Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
I've noticed ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
I've had at least two working 3D engines at various points, but never really got much further before another game came out which I had to "research"![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
I've pretty much settled down to modding other people's engines now - made some UT2k4 mods for Lan-parties with friends and stuff - and that is pretty much I have time for anymore anyway :/

Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
I saw warzone2100 for the first time mid-to-late '98 at a friend's house. He was playing various games on the Eidos demo CD and Warzone happened to be one of them. I was impressed with it but didn't think much of it until one day when I was at the mall.
I saw the game on the shelf and picked it up, because I remembered that I had played it, I took a look in the front cover. I bought it, and that was around March of 1999. I kept to myself for a while until I beat the Single Player campaign, which was around April or so. By then, I looked online and found the strategyXtreme message boards, and picked up patch 1.04 which had an upgrade for the AI which made it absolutely heinously evil.
I remember having discussions with Rman Jack and others on the message board about Rail guns![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Anyway, the rest is history and I've told it in another thread in the development forum. I've been with the game ever since, although it's been about 2-3 years since I've played the game.

The best thing to do when your philosophies don't stand up to debate is to lock the thread and claim victory.

I must have first played the playstation demo around '98/'99, enjoyed it but didn't think anymore of it until I was bored a few months back...
Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
I learned about it on April Fools day. Yay me.

Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
I am a fan from the first day I bought the game in early 99. I still have my original disks!
To me and my friends - this is the best RTS ever made.

Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
This, the greatest game ever? It was on a demo disc that came with a Tomb Raider game, way back in '99...or '98...so I asked my father to buy me the full version. He bought another copy for himself. We both still have our original discs (except that he's NEVER played his.)
Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
i too played the psx demo and at first thought it was some cheap micro machines game, but after a few minutes became one of the greatest rts's of all time. right up there with the tiberian series

Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
It was an Eidos demo disk, I forgot how I got it. But it was like in 2000 or 2001 I was addicted to the demo and kept playing it to get the most out of it. Then I asked my mom to get it for me.
And I loved it, but it was a long time before I learned that there were updates to download from the internet. I always wondered why I couldn't get T2 and T3 in Skirmish...I was rather a novice with the computer and the internet at the time.
Nowadays, just the opposite.
I still say this is my favorite RTS game of all time. It wasn't my first; my first would be Star Wars Force Commander. But still my favorite RTS of all time. Better than CNC, even; I find those games boring due to limited building options, and a horridly obnoxious fanbase (Looooong story... e.e).

Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
My friend had it on the PS1 and I played the game.
It was 8 years ago I think, he found the game for a cheap price.
I hated mission 7, we didn't managed to get past that mission until we restarted the game and left mission 1 running till we got max energy (6000 on ps1 if I recall correctly).
Then we would just cram out tanks on mission 7 non stop :X
Never got past the second campaign on the ps1 version btw ...

Re: How did YOU learn about Warzone 2100?
i dont remember too well but im sittin there and my dad says to come see this cool game and he shows me how to play and i fell in love with it...so much he was forced to uninstall it and throw the demo disk away. About a year after that were goin through krogers and we go to their movie rental section (when it was still there) and i saw it so he let me rent it. after that i rented it about...7 times then they auctioned it off and i never saw it again... until less than a year ago
