I don't think it's mentioned in the book per se, or even the notes. Maybe it appears in the Databook? And while there's no 3' Sulaco that I know of, I think Monsters in Motion used to stock a 2' long version.

Right you are, Ken. I just hope Spike TV renews MXC for next season. There's only so many times I can watch the same episodes over and over again. How much could it possibly cost to produce it?

You're talking about that thing from Book 4? Good question.

Still no word on a Soldner demo, but Joint Ops is available today!

Oh, give us a hint! It'll make you feel better.

Transfans > Robofans

No, but if it's anything like the other Transfan Horror Stories™ you've told me then I'm scared to hear about it.

I suppose so....but was this really an issue that kept Transfans awake at night?

LOL! Everything is funnier with monkeys.

The man has stones, that's for sure. Either that, or he has no shame whatsoever.

Does anybody know who claimed credit for the *ahem* revised RT artwork? Remember: it's only plagarism if you get caught.

LOL! I see where you're going with this, A1. Looks familiar, doesn't it?

Cool. I want to see more.

Heck, there's a version of that picture on the back of one of the early Comico RT comics, so that dates it to 1985-ish.

Yep, Teletoon is already advertising the new season.

You're still having problems with the carrier, JsARC? You can beat the chopper simply by hitting the door gunner. Once he's dead, he'll fall out the door and the chopper will fly away. One time, I actually managed to knock out the chopper itself, but I couldn't tell you how I did it.

Sorry Capt Rico, as others have already pointed out, this "script" is F-A-K-E beyond words.

The guys on the carrier aren't that bad, once you take out the minigun. I too used a couple of flashbangs, and kept moving from box to box. Plus that "lean" function really comes in handy. The vehicles are a little so-so in their control, but they're no worse than those of any older console game. In a game like Far Cry I'll let sloppy vehicle control slide, but the more sim oriented Joint Ops had better improve it. The hang glider is just too cool for words, though. I'm going to have to replay that level just to see where I can go with it, instead of simply going from point A to point B. Those beasties in the intro (which is completely different from what the early trailers had shown) do indeed show up later on. I haven't really fought more than one or two (and that was at medium range) but I forsee them being tough. I do like the soundtrack of the intro and the game, however.

Isn't there an old painting by somebody from Studio Nue that was nearly identical to that?

The 1.1 patch is already out, and available from a gazillion game file sites. There's supposedly talk of a 1.2 patch, but I don't know anything about it. I absolutely love this game. You can defenitely feel the freedom that the game engine allows. No more "rails" guiding you from checkpoint to checkpoint. The enemy AI can actually be fooled, and has to rely on its senses to find you, not some lame 6th sense games like Call of Duty featured. And while it may be a failure in real life, I can tell you that the OICW rocks in Far Cry.

The offical Joint Ops site is up. Check it out HERE. And remember: Charlie don't surf!

Actually, I feel that the opposite would have been a better approach. They should have tightened up the story back in the writing stage, perhaps by cutting as much as an episode's worth of running time. If they had lost some of the pointless distractions (the Alus, for starters) and shortened the Marduk "talking head" scenes I think it would have improved the story drastically.

Other game developers should take note. Ubi Soft has already released their first patch. ON TIME, too. Now that is what I call taking care of your customers.

Weird that it's not performing for you. HERE is the link to the official Ubi Soft forums. Maybe you can troubleshoot your problems there.

Looks good to me. Is there any indication of a scale?
