Don't generalise this things! I find Maya veary easeir to use than Max. It mostly depends on what one starts with in my opinion. No, it actually depends on whether or not you actually know either program well enough to form an opinion.

not to mention that you can get Max for free (G-Max) and that Max is easeir to use then Maya and has better mesh tools.

This was a long time ago, and the US doesn't use tanks as heavily as Russia use to. Too bad though, Israel and Russia can both agree that nothing beats the Tank in city combat.

Feature. If you read it says "we can not yet reload this weapon in the field". Same goes for turrets. I think it's because they are so powerful and can be mannufactured that they decided to limmit the things.

Actually the C4 charges re-direct the missiles, not destroy them. It's fun to see, the missile flies at the tank, you hear a "POP" and there's an explosion somewhere ten feet adjacent to the tank. It's not fool proof though, and well trained soldiers can destroy a tank with reactive amour by hitting it on a face that is facing them directly so that the missile does not repel to the side if you hit it at an edge. Back in Afghanistan my uncle had some fun watching this from a fox hole as about five Arabs shot RPGs at it and all the rockets just veered off like flies. Then the tank turned it's turret and ripped them to shred with an SAW.

Funny you should say that, Because those cars ARE packed with C4.

are you nuts? you can throw a hundred grenades on a tank and the best that will do is strip the paint. Contrary to holly wood it requires A LOT of force to penetrate a tank.

I've always wondered how Reactive Armor works... any missiles that hit the armour of a Tank set off small C4 charges. The resulting explosion diverts the missile and saves the Tank from any HARM (heh... pun).

If you're not comparing a real tank to a real LAW then how can you compare anything to something that doesn't exist yet? X-Com tanks were fast, small, well armoured and carried a lot more fire power then a person. Think a guy with that law that doesn't need to re-load, crouch, can take four times as much damage and can move faster then a guy with super heroic speed in his undines. Sure it'll be really powerful but there can be set backs installed such as slow tern around time and lack of mobility in bases. But still with deployable weapons it's not very often that I need to crawl around. Just get to a big room and camp. (and BTW tanks ARE laced with C4. It's called reactive armour.)

and then make all the soldiers wear bandanas and point the guns sideways as they fire while you're at it.

Except for the fact that a tank is about twenty times more powerful, can penetrate armoured vehicles and walls, has a machine gun that can turn any platoon in to red paste, a mounted flame thrower, has insanely longer range and moves at approximately 120kph. If you ignore all those, then yeah a guy with a LAW is pretty good...I guess.

actualy it's a Guyver ripp off. but don't tell anyone.

yes and if you reduce the gamma settings everyone will look black.

Large capacity Ammo would be great http://kalashnikov.guns.ru/models/ka202.html A camo suit isn't so great because armor is more important when you're doing long missions (which is any mission in UFO). A night vision helm would be better to add to perception. It won't reduce the armor by much. As far as higher end suits go a hybrid of Bio and Mecha armor would be great: http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/IMG/characters_masterchief.jpg Fast, strong, heavily armored against physical attacks and energy attacks.

names accents and nationality. the only invisible minority in the game are Canaks. Other then that there are no ***mans.

coolness. keep us in touch, I'll donate an original 3D model if you need the help.

Let that be a lesson: Terrorists never win. Not even in a fantasy

No Polish either. What's your point?

as I said. It would work for transport only. what better to get to a base? seven turtles or seven turtles inside an armoured vehicle capable of mowing down any enemy and moving 90kph. Would make the Russian mission easy. Just go through the wall machine guns blasing. The compact tank (A La Metal Slug) would work marvels. http://www.agetec.com/images/games/metalslug_x/metalslug_tank.gif

lol Kattushas function on a simple principal: Rockets blow stuff up. Problem is rockets are inaccurate, only 1 out of 5 will hit directly. Solution: Fire 50 of them! And no Kattushas are used in ranged combat only. You basically guesstimate the relative position of the enemy and then make it rain hell. (still in use in the Middle East along with other relics of the CCCP) For the kind of close quarter combat in UFO an armored vehicle makes more sense, but that's for transferring troops only. Still no reason why you can't mount a heavy rail gun on top of a Humvy and have two troops dedicated to driving it around and providing serious cover fire.

as far as the sequel I'd like to see a renegade Earth team highjack a ship and go to the alien's home world and do a little bit of Bio Mass gardening. FOR GREATER JUSTICE!!!

actualy I was surprised it was so easy. I got two guys to on rail hun platforms to cover the doors and one guy to run in, take the device and run back. It took a minute.

I don't understand the need for funding. 90% of the earth's population is destroyed and the governments are non existent. Money is good for toilet paper sure but I fail to see who will be calling up a non existent bank to tell them that the payments hasn't arrived. It's Armageddon! Build me my guns or I'll put a bullet in your head, or worse: send you outside and have the Bio Mass eat you.

Yeah I can imagine the mood the aliens were in when they wrote that: How do we tell them 'please don't kill us' without sounding too wimpy? To think that they want all those weapons I got stockpiled to just gather dust! The NERV!

Got further in the game and I don't want to give any spoilers but the alien agenda kicks ass. It's got that whole NGE thing going for it.
