What Are You Playing Now: The New Beginning Thread
Man sort of disappointed in myself as I breezed through the commando mission from memory in the GDI campaign. Mostly as I recall gameplay from 25 years ago yet can't remember tonnes of things from University 😛 Played some MP with a buddy, the AI is a lot more aggressive than I recall, although it seems to just rush my harvester that it somehow has located. Also did notice the bug on one map still exists where the AI sends its army to the NW regardless of who is there.

Well, they think they're not civilians as well. It is pretty funny to compare a soldier and a cop just in terms of bearing, they had a bunch of Ontario cops do military drills in formation way back when we had the G20 here - was a sight. Cops' actions that weekend did a huge amount of damage to police reputation too. Related to that wonder why police departments pay for things like this -https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/02/dave-grossman-training-police-militarization/

Sounds like a microcosm of the DoD.

Think the more reasonable demand is to just adjust the spending on cops versus other areas, with an eye to prevention as it seems they eat up a large amount of budgets in some of these cities. But I guess the cops will scare people and throw a tantrum if they try to cut that.

I recall TD being very lazy in that all the missions need you to kill all units. Mission 14 is annoying for that as they have stealth tanks, so you need to comb the map looking for that one hiding there. On the commando mission where you can skip a mission if you somehow know to blow up the airstrip (never did figure out how you were to know what to blow up...well or why you need to blow up an airstrip only). Still in Arma 3's campaign. I liked the mission where you are alone and have to evade CSAT. In missions where I command a squad, having trouble working with the UI

Indeed the protestors should police themselves.

I am slowly plodding along in Tiberian Dawn. Dreading mission 11, worst beach landing ever. Missions seem harder than I remember (naturally it is the game's fault), I failed Bialystok a lot, trying to fight the tanks with just grenadiers was taxing

Good Old Games still good
The real question for me is, does it still have the hot chick on the cover. I still need to finish the first two games. Deserts if Kharak was the last fun RTS I played, as it is Homeworld in Sand. Nothing really new, but was a good formula anyway

Would say the genre died rather evolved with MOBAs

I didn't vote Liberal, so yes, I can call the two cops being bullied by mere seniority cowards. 😛 And depends on who the Tories put up, if it's another soulless husk like Scheer - then yeah Trudeau'll get re-elected.

More of the War on Drugs theater, I think. So the rookies were too cowardly to do the right thing then.

Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance added. Well so is SupCom 2 but who cares about that.

True, they did not consider what shoving elderly people may result in. And yes, I wasn't expecting a mere cop to be capable of assisting someone medically, looks like some NG medics came to help. Speaking of NG, a somewhat amusing incident - https://old.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/gwqm2n/close_the_gap_exmilitary_protester_in_dc_teaches/

Well, just read cop forums for a laugh most of the time and a lot feel like resigning if that happens and based on past events I can see many stomping their feet about their jobs being harder or something. The other big pushes are to defund them, not quite sure that is the solution - sort of odd how things switch with this, conservatives seem to want more money to a service and liberals don't, hah. Also, Mattis criticized Trump, also rightfully takes Esper to task for the 'battlespace' remark (nothing like corporate speak, hah) - https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/james-mattis-denounces-trump-protests-militarization/612640/

Wonder what tantrum cops and their unions will throw as a result of this.

Huh, didn't even know that existed. Will give that a go. Managing so far, really hate the second mission and the rookie trap of a motorized squad right on the route you need to take, hah.

I may give up on Arma 3's campaign, definitely do not have good eyesight for this game.
