Commanding Cortices

Do note that often times this is a tactic the AI employs, simply walking back and forth to dig, when it no longer feels that walking through your nicely designed deathtrap entrance is the most intelligent choice, but lacks a digger.

Plus, this isn't necessarily a detraction from the game. With more dynamic terrain, you're forced to take terrain as a liability. You can't just plunk your brain under a mound of earth and watch as your enemies hopelessly try to reach it since they have to stand still at a mound digging away at it for a few minutes (IRL) just to reach your brain.

The ground gets killed WAY too easy. That's what I meant by bad ground interaction. Some times I'll be walking along and I just get stuck in the ground. That doesn't happen in my back yard. I never said AI wasn't functional, it's just bad. I also don't want to go through the stupid trouble of opening up every INI file in a mod and start replacing stuff. I want to download and go. I'm not complaining about perfect physics. Once, I was playing along my my drop ship, and it just got stuck. In mid air. Can't move. So I blew it up, and didn't get my little green clones where I wanted them.

Then raise the structural integrity of the dirt materials. It's a quite easy fix in a clearly labeled file with a clearly labeled variable.

Again, there are conversion programs. Set them to work on an .rte, and bam, it's all upgraded. Also, you should be blaming mod creators for not posting updated versions, not the game creators.

And you have, apparently, one example of poor physics interactions, in this case what is quite clearly a glitch. I fail to see what you're so mad about.

Theres a new version out, recently released last week.
I found it sooo fun when I tried out the new weapons and stuff.
My favorite weapon so far is the RPC M17, where it fires rocket-propelled chainsaws!

The new object based scripting is nice.

You guys have to remember that Cortex Command has basically only one guy behind all the programming and scripting as well as game design. (Plus one more for art)

Besides the bugs, Cortex Command can be really fun if you get into it, and the mods only make it better.

I think CC is very succesful for a 1-man development team.
I wonder what the full version would be like...(hopefully faster)

Faster, full campaign, several fleshed-out, balanced factions..a ton of excellent mod content. Hopefully one day we will see a full version of CC...

Yeah, one day...
The latest build was epic though, loads more features

Cortex Command. It is quite awesome.

No. I hate it. Not only did it take a while to install, but it sucked.
Here's exactly what happened:
*spend all my money on a bunch of super soldiers, guns and bombs* the rocket gets here, drops out everything... then falls over blowing up all my stuff, leaving my with no money or bodies.
And that happens EVERY SINGLE TIME.

On the second level, I die after about 20 seconds, because "My copy is not registered."

Screw this game. DO NOT GET IT.

LOL.
You choose not to enjoy it.
A bit more practice is required.
