That guy talks like a Pyscho in that Video.
That GLA Artillery is a nice Idea though.

- E.V.E.

I gotta say, the Steam Artillery and the Mech took the most time out of it - but they both have problems. While I like the Steam Arty, i find that it needs batter particle effects. The mech needs some better walking animations :S, looks like its sliding on the ice there...and that was not intentional I think.

The lockdown didnt get any time contributed into it :( , they didnt even show its animation firing both shells : /, even gave it a still image for crying out loud. I dont think the video did justice to it, but its sufficient I think.

The Artillery peice.. eh, needs some work :S

Congratulations hunter, and personally I would have said the SPA should have won too (no offense). It was just that cool to watch and whatnot.

[Ellipsis]

Congrats Hunter. You deserve it.

[Vengence]

Wow... I made 3rd. For those of you who pounded my Treb mech, SHAME ON YOU!!! I had only a weekend to animate, balance, tweak, and work out. Lets see you try and animate DOZENS of seamless animations with more animation code than even infantry. The animations took forever and the only reason why it is sliding on ice is that I ran out of time to optimize the coding to sinc the walking to the ground. The mech had balance fixes so many times I sent JohnWE the mod 4-5 times because I wasn't satisfied with the content. Also this mech is totally not uber, it has only 350 hitpoints! 7 shots from a battlemaster will kill it. 4 for an Overlord. It is artillery and it is designed for a completely different universe than ZH. Whew, rant off. Nice one Hunter, you beat me! But I still made 3rd! Free CNC3 YEAH!

[Athena]

Congrats you too .

[Vengence]

Whew, thanks. I feel much better now

[Prophet of the Pimps]

hey vengeance i love your mech. especially when its damaged and you see those sparks around the leg region. Pretty good detail.

[Sgt. Nuker]

Kudos to you Vengeance for making a mech. If I may, I'd like to know if you based the design off an existing mech design, or did you just come up with the design yourself? Either way, it's pretty slick.

On a belated note: Congrats to you Hunter. Just goes to show you that if you have the skill and the drive to work, you'll be rewarded. In this case you got a free game .


My best,

Nuker

Hmmmmmmm...... Nope. Some parts may be similar but that was out of necessity and utility. I based this of no other design and is 100% original. If you think it looks similar to Battletech mechs then think this: Utility is beauty. The Vulture's shoulder racks take advantage of that hunched design and fits. Mine did the same to fit the long length. This utility is the same on both designs and were coincidentally similar.

[Comr4de]

Hey Vengance,

Dont get me wrong I was in no way bashing the mech design. It's just those few things that bug me that I would like to state, cant anyone be a critic anymore?

Knowing the time frame you had to crunch into the mech gives it more credibility and what you had to go through. I'm no animator so you must excuse me. The walking animations were odd yes, but the firing stance and the damage animations were class A =). Overall I think your CnC 3 Copy is well deserved.

Sorry for any hostilites on the mech, they were sincerly unintentional.

Oh and welcome to the forums by the way . Hope you stick around because I'd like to see more of the mod your working on!

[Vengence]

Look at the date of when I joined I've been around for a long time. The ironic thing is that I'm the only one of the winners who have NOT received their copy of CNC3. Hunter got it like 4 days ago and he lives in Europe. I'm here in USA and no CNC3 yet... I have a patience threshold of 2 weeks on this matter. If it doesn't come by then... >: :boxe: :chillpill1:

[Slye_Fox]

I thought is was a good mech design except the legs, they were too long and thin, which would make them vary unstable and flimsy.

Thats the idea. It is artillery built for that purpose. It has little to no armor and is terribly weak when under fire. It only has 300 hp in the game and can't take much punishment. That is a balance feature to even out the firepower it causes. Also it costs more than an overlord considering it can kill any basic tank in one barrage and an overlord in 2.
