  1. Simple. Because startisback is made better and has more capability. I realize that isn't for everyone, and by all means try them all to see what you like. Classic shell is good too, I just prefer startisback. In my line of work, its easier to sell someone (referring to a business that I would do service work for) on a software that has professional options (such as volume licensing) and is more configurable, rather than a free program. Lots of businesses don't see something you don't have to pay for as being worth using and will often times simply write free stuff off without looking into them. They can't see past the "free" stereotype. Speaking from experience. We're not talking about folks that care enough to learn anything about what they're using or could use, tech-wise. They just want to pay someone to make it work as simply as possible, and if you tell them "oh yeah here's this free thing" then they might write you off too lol. But yeah, there are a ton of programs that fall into this category. Classic shell would probably fall in as #2 in my mind.
  2. (From my PC tech standpoint) I suggest at least upgrading with a temporary install so that you get your free upgrade before this coming July when that promotional offer ends. You can just make a temp install to get your PC registered and then go back to using 7 or 8.1 until you're ready to move to 10. Its worth it I promise. And for you folks that must have the windows 7 start menu (myself included), this software is worth every penny! http://startisback.com/ Extremely configurable with cool stuff that far surpasses the standard menu if you like that type thing. If not, then you can just have a plain old win7 menu. Enjoy!
  3. nah mang. You're right the opposite IMO. I think everyone will agree when Hostile Waters gets into the normal rotation
  4. Might need at least a couple flame towers to replace the coil. Its literally the only "gate keeper" for the tunnels and the front entrance.
  5. Am I late for the e-penis contest??? I didn't mean to derail this into a "who's done more impressive impossible sounding stuff with C4" thread. To answer Raap's question (not sure if serious), I don't think they should be nerfed honestly. They take like 5 seconds I believe to do the refill so if you're caught then you're screwed anyway. I like it the way it is.
  6. And I've collected nearly all of them!
  7. Exactly what this guy said ^ Additionally, you can solo it if you get really lucky. I actually managed to take out the allied ref by refilling my engi's C4 in a supply truck the other day. It was 1v1 and other guy was across the map taking down my OT with a medium tank. By the time the first C4 blew, I was already half way back to the ref to place the second one. He got up the stairs just in time for the C4 blast to kill him too
  8. Software Development Kit. Its a package that contains all of the tools used to make the various components of the game, made available so that others can also make things. Modeling and mapping tools, etc. You'd need this if you wanted to make your own map for example.
  9. I've noticed that it seems like there are more allied victories as well but I also think this is a case where it is very useful to learn how to skillfully use your faction. For example, 2 soviet engineers can easily rush the allied refinery around the left border of the map and change the game in the first 5 minutes or so. However long it takes to get 500 creds and get over there. The turret might knock off half of one engi's health in the process but it works out, trust me. This isn't so easy for the allies to pull off because the flame tower is much more likely to roast you as soon as you pop out from behind the little hill. You'd have to get really lucky.
  10. I like how there is an Orca on the Red Alert poster. You sir have an eye for detail.
  11. Many years ago, (in a galaxy far far away) there was a star wars renegade mod. They stopped development for some reason, I don't recall why.
  12. Holy crap a paper mammoth? Oxymoron Also great job making that, it does look very professional. If you could make cardboard pieces that sort of click together then you might be able to sell it as a kit! I just want his clothes
  13. I was hoping you'd see this I knew you had one but I don't think I'd ever seen the pics. Pics required
  14. Nice, thats a very interesting thought.
  15. Apparently there was for a limited time. Probably tastes like tiberium
  16. I'd like to see anyone on planet earth put up their collection against the sheer amount of stuff and rarity of some of the stuff that this guy has. The first one third of the pics isn't C&C so you'll have to scroll through all that. Check it out! http://www.sealedgameheaven.com/index.php?/topic/2154-anderwin-collection-of-games-small-update-230912/ Someone build this guy a museum!
  17. While TSR currently does still have support for XP, this is most likely related to your issue. I would suggest making the move to windows 7 or 10. The next major version of TSR will require windows Vista or higher.
  18. Sample Text. At least "Cold Fusion" and "Nuclear Winter" were creative Totally kidding, nice set of bugfixes
  19. The game is comprised of ripped-straight-from-C&C3 textures. It is literally begging for an EA lawsuit.
  20. So add Cruisers already! Totally kidding. I guess I see your point.
  21. As long as it's not stealing enemy's tech im fine. I agree with this statement. I think that little "outposts" like the ones that Raap made on Hostile Waters are really nice and add a nice dynamic to the gameplay. It gives another objective besides "win by base destruction". And it might just might keep the player count up if the match becomes really one-sided. Because while it may be impossible to destroy the enemy's base, it is far more possible to hold a control point such as a "tech" structure, if I can borrow some RA2 terminology. People will not lose hope as quickly if there is still something that they can do.
