Played some more CivRev. Won thrrough Technology to complete at least 1 win with all types on diety. I think something was a little messed up because I got a tank in the year 1000. I went into the Industrial age at around 1600 and modern at like 1900 I think.
Congratulations! Which Civ did you use to get the Tech win?
If you get the Knight's Templar artifact, they give you an advanced military unit.
When you have a chance, you may want to DL the new Wonder/Artifact packs for 300 points each. Yesterday, I was playing and came across the artifact "Pharaoh's Needle", which gave me Metallurgy in 50AD. Needless to say, I was building as many Cannon units as I could. I'm still in that game right now (as the Mongols again...finished 2nd in the game I was in previously; damn Roman 1/2 price wonders!) in 1500AD.
I'm hoping this is the Mongol win on Deity that I've been looking forward to...we'll see, though. I'm going to need to switch out of Monarchy soon and into Democracy in order to keep my Tech advantage.
Only 5 more achievements to go in CivRev.
Keep at it. Let me know if you'd like a tip or 2.
I started Halo 2 last night. It's my first experience with the Halo series, and I must say, I can't stand it. The whole time I played it, it felt like a chore and just wasn't fun at all. Someone please explain to me why this series is so popular?
With as much as I enjoy playing the Halo series, I've honestly never played through the full campaign of any of the games. The popularity stems from multiplayer. Halo 1 brought 4player split screen and system link to enable people to have parties with 8 friends killing each other all night. Halo 2 matched that, and took it a step further with playing on Xbox Live, larger battles, more weapons & vehicles, dual wielding, etc. Halo 3 matched that, and took it a step further still with retaining all of the above (and adding more to it), plus the ability to redesign the map objects and weapons & create new game modes with the Forge editor, share said files online through Bungie.net, allowed players to review each of the games they play through the movie replay feature (and take snapshots if they so desired), play up to 4 players co-op online, etc.
Even now, almost a year and a half after Halo 3 was released, no game combines all the features Halo 3 has (both what it introduced itself, as well as retaining all the features set forth in Halo 1 and 2).
Considering the fact that you're only playing the campaign version of a 4 year old game, I'm not surprised that you're a little disappointed. There's a lot more to enjoy in the game/series.
Just my $.02.
