Topic: Strategy games, rushing, StarCraft and Dark Reign.
Anybody have any thoughts about rushing, I've only made
it through the Terran mission of Blizzard's StarCraft
and played once online, but I can see where things are
going...
Online multiplayer games are pretty cool, if you play the
right people--finding the right opponent is always the
trick. Next time I get on battle.net I'll have to say
"Terran newbie with Red4 lag desires slow non-rushing
Zerglings for extended game foreplay", hehe)
Anyway, here is the ATVI part: I found a post on usenet
which refers to Dark Reign--I haven't played it, I'll cut
and past the post...and thoughts would be appreciated.

All's not lost, Alex. You want a really good game that
demands you *think*? Try Dark Reign by Activision. I kid you
not, that game is a Rusher's nightmare. I've had numerous
opponents try rushing on me and I clobber 'em every time.
It seems to me that the designers of the game knew full well
what they were doing when they wrote that baby. Defensive
emplacements are just too good for rushing to even begin to
work. And on the plus side, it's currently on sale for only
$29.95 US!

PS And no, I don't work at Activision. :)
I just really like Dark Reign.

Maybe I am playing the wrong game...do you think?
(I wont post a follow up message I saw, at least
one person out there on usenet does not like
Dark Reign much at all...) |
