Spreadfire got altered drasticly in D2 from D1. Different size, different speed, different damage.

Right Duper the weapon balance and the gameplay. D1 is all about strategy and tactics. Just like Nascar. It is far superior to the other 2. All are a blast to play but only D1 will make you a real killer :). Flip know his stuff, although in some ways Descent2 has superior 1v1 games. I think D1 got ...

I'll let him grab the hostages in one level.
(HAR HAR INB4 \"co-op is for sissies\")

I lost interest in BI3 quickly. It's worse than minerva. And Subway Dancer? Don't get me started on that hackfest.

Thanks guys. Last night I started reconfiguring for KB+Mouse. It was pretty comfortable, but I'm thinking I might have to go KB+Stick or Stick+Mouse to fly like I imagine. It's difficult trying to unlearn 15 years of muscle memory. Once I feel comfortable flying again, I'll start looking into ...

All of this talk about lasers has reminded me of one descenter who, upon seeing my flying, said \"Use the quads, Luke.\"

I think that might have been good advice.

Sure the D2 fusion sux, but if you know how to use it, you can rack up a whole bunch of robots. I have video proof if anyone wants to see. I do enjoy using fusion in D2 SP just for eyecandy, as well as napalm in d3. To a lesser extent, I use quad 3 in D1 a lot too, since I rarely hear it and used ...

Ain't this the truth? Although he did get a teamkill on me by hiding behind the spawnpoint.

Looks like another interesting level from Lobber. I'll give it a whirl sometime.

I'm convinced Vincent has learned how to change his algorithm. I think he's cheating.

The BOZ have become self-aware. We are all doomed if we do not correct this now....

This fact is better than your fact.

Fusion is purple. Your argument is invalid.

I have it as well. Its a lot harder than all of the other Mario games I've had, and the controls are hard.

The napalm rocket in D3 kinda replaced the merc. It can be an instant kill if you hit someone square on. Tru that, Merlin. I've done it before. The napalm is just like the merc missile, just slower. Fires from a similar gunport too. One wierd thing: I nailed this guy smack dab in the face with a ...

wow. I just read through this entire post and not ONCE has ANYONE mentioned the biggest match breaker in the whole trilogy. the weapon that turns distances into nothing. the one weapon that will drop a player in two hits. the only weapon that's loved and hated by novices and veterans alike. Ladies ...

that's funny, warlord uses tons of fusion. Maybe he's changed since the time he played IDL. Anyway, I cant bring myself to learn to use Mass Driver that much. I don't like the cannon, and its a personal issue. D3 plasma is another weapon I can't use, for the reason that its about the same speed as ...

My humble opinion, what better way to learn than to play with the best? Not that ANY amount of lessons will improve my playing much. <sigh> But still, I think you pick up better lessons and learn better habits by playing against really GOOD players. it requires some patience on the good players ...

Alright guys. I have loads and loads of demos here...

Fusion was a giant piece of ***** in every game except D3. Doesn't even qualify. Lasers or plasma only. You never played Warlord in d1, did you? D1 fusion was the best fusion, in my opinion. Harder to aim than d3 fusion. I think the quadlaser is pretty good. It does good damage and lets you use the ...

I've considered getting D2-XL but it really does confuse me.

We still play alot of D1 and D2 on Kali . And since a lifetime membership costs only $10 USD, it's well worth it to buy a serial. I agree wholeheartedly with Lobber on this one. Most of kali is strictly D1 and D2, with a diverse skill set. The only drawback is that cost. Best $10 I ever spent on ...

To be honest, even noobs and bad players have diverse skill sets. Me, I cannot compete in D3 at all, but I dominate in the first two. It'll be hard, but you can probably organize an all lower-tier player game. Theres always Subway Dancer (This is a joke). Just try playing all three games, it'll help ...

Michigan eh? I'm in Detroit. I can't get back up north again this winter (Too much snow) but in the summer I'll gladly LAN with you.
In fact, PM me some time and we can do some Descent.

Thats because the BOZ just bumrush and lag. Its like, they have LAN pings to the server, which gives them a huge advantage.

My configuration is very rare. I use numberpad for all flight operations, and the mouse for fine tune aim. Mouse: Left ubtton, fire primary Right buton, secondary Center button: Drop bomb (In d3 I use it as flare) Numberpad: 7,9 for bank 1,3 for slide left/right 0 and . for slide up/down 5 for ...
