"That looks cool - wouldn't mind a higher res version (my monitor runs at 1280 x 1024)"

Second that request!

I agree that a new Command HQ would be truly great - it is one of my favorite games of all time. However, I believe it requires an entirely new game from Introversion to do it justice, not just a mod or a patch. If the IV people want a tip regarding their next project (not likely though :P), this wo...

Two points:

- The request is for an option, not for making anything madatory.

I would launch 4 at a single exposed silo. If I want to make really sure, I take out the radar too. (5 total) Taking out the radar might be nice in it's own right too if the player have more units further off.

Indeed, when it comes to issues such as this one, they might even help get the message through sooner. ;) ( With regards to patching priorities). 2: Also desperately needed - the ability to enter password protected games via direct IP connect. 3: Ac...
