Slowtrain Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 FOr anyone who is interested, the main 1.13 mod page for Jag 2has moved to a new location. The latest release was this past July. I'm upgrading to the current version now and am going to give it a spin. It remains, I think, the best mod ever released for a computer game. My opinion is colored by the fact that I think Jagged Alliance 2 is one of the best pc games ever, however. So. http://ja2v113.pbwiki.com/ Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Slowtrain Posted August 29, 2007 Author Posted August 29, 2007 I should point out that Jag 2 also runs well on an old laptop and since my state of the art gaming pc is in pieces all over the floor, well, I think it is time to revisit some old faves.

Hurlshort Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I can second that the new build is incredibly stable, and if you never played 1.13 (or JA2) it is a great experience. It's really the only game I go back and play every year.
Morgoth Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I bought the game years ago very cheaply, but I never really got into it. Maybe JA3 could change that. Rain makes everything better.

karka Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I have the steam version. I'm still waiting for the patch.
Hurlshort Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 JA3 will, at best, be Silent Storm in a modern day setting. While I'm very excited about that prospect, I'm not expecting it to capture the personality of the originals. The Sir-Tech team put a remarkable amount of wit and charm into their games, and that's just extremely difficult to duplicate.
Slowtrain Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 Jag 2 in 1024*768. It's still so sweet after so many years of 640*480. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

There seems to be a curse in the world of game design... The third game in a franchise sucks :sad: Having very unfond memories of Tombraider III, Lords of Midnight III, Master of Orion III etc. Now off to grab the latest 1.13 downloads. JA2 the awesomest tactical combat game around. More like a tactical combat/rgg hybrid really.

Leferd Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I've been getting CTD's left and right with this mod. It's a shame because I really liked what they did with it.

Hurlshort Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Hmm, do you have the latest update for 1.13? Last year I had quite a few CTD's, but the recent build seemed more stable on my rig.
Tale Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I have the steam version. I'm still waiting for the patch. I feel sorry for you. I keep considering getting JA2, but I'm sure as heck not going to buy that version! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Xard Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) sucks edit: O noes what can we do about teh curse? Edited August 30, 2007 by Xard How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
Hurlshort Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Well, I think any game that comes out 10 years removed from a series is going to be very different than the originals. I don't really see different as necessarilly bad, but plenty of folks do.
Morgoth Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 For all Jagged Alliance geeks: You might want to give the JAZZ: Hired Guns demo a shot. It was once supposed to be JA 3D, but then was renamed for whatever reasons. http://www.3dgamers.com/games/jazzhiredguns/downloads/ I haven't try it yet, but I never really got into JA style games anyway. I'm a sucker for the Commandos games, however. Too bad there won't be a proper sequel. Rain makes everything better.
mkreku Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I've tried it. It wasn't all bad, the combat was still fun, but as a game it just didn't work. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Good Lord, you can't just throw out a heinous comment like that without saying why. OH wait, you're talking about Morgoth's post aren't you. hehe. nevermind Edited August 30, 2007 by CrashGirl Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.
