Homeworld 2 (just read it anyway)

Hello all, I think this is the right forums for this...

Anyway, some of you may know us [RN from Elite and if not...well....www.roughnecks.org . Anyway, we are starting a Homeworld 2 division, just wondering if anyone is interested. Site isn't up yet but come to our forums at http://marik.emperors.net/forum-rn/index.php , or you can just post here (if your interested in joining or expressing your view about HW2.)

Thanks,
Griffon

OO! OO! Pick me! I don't have the game (yet) cause i dunno if my system can handle it but I can't wait to play it. What exactly does this division of yours do?

What do we do?

Er, well, play? Win? Lose? Have fun? Thats about all you can do really We have a few people already interested, from our Freelancer squadron and other divisions, although none of us actually have the game yet! We play the demo though.

The games very different to Freelancer (in that its a RTS) and basically what you do in a clan is well...have matches against other clan players, and then boast about it afterwards =P, or maybe take part in a ladder or competition. Nothing like Freelancer where clans "declare war" on other clans and fight them all the time, in this type of game its a little less aggressive and there is little distinguishment between "friendly" and "hostile" clans as in Freelancer, you play against them just the same whoever they are, when you play a match against another clan its like sport, you don't "declare war" on them and become hostile.

Of course, there are people with bad sportsmanship who view winning or losing as a matter of life or death

ANYWAY, Thanks for the quick reply, check out our site and forums, we should get an actual site for HW2 up soon (I hope)

Bye,
Griffon

PS. What system do you have? Works fine for me with PIII Geforce 3, that sorta thing Minimum specs:
Pentium III 833 MHz, 256 MB RAM, Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, DirectX 9.0, 32 MB DirectX-compatible video card, DirectX-compatible sound card, 16x CD-ROM drive, and 1.6 GB hard-disk space

Umm, that should run it ok, just keep the graphics settings down a bit (turn shadows off, that seems to help alot.)

" So its a clan/armada sort of thing basicly and we get to put /ME/ or watever the clan abrev. is after our name "

I'm not sure what you mean, are you asking what the tag/name format is for the clan? Its [RN (be sure to add the [ at the end, forum takes it out) and then your name, no spaces. So like [RN Griffon_26.
