Title: 14 Years of RA2
Post by: Mouldy on February 18, 2017, 09:55:39 AM

I don't think Infogrames or Gabriel Entertainment thought this game would last long. The same as the community, probably.

Thank God it won't last too much longer.

You guys aren't so bad, I suppose. Memes aside, you've kept the game alive by doing whatever it is you like to do with RA2. Whether you're making great tournaments, whether you're making beautiful/destructive bots, whether you're making big expansion packs or creative additional tools for the game. Or finally just even running the community and being active, you are helping the game in your own way. Everyone here has contributed to the game's development in some way.

You should be proud to do these things, even if they are on a small scale to what some people do. It doesn't matter.

Well done, guys.

Cool. Maybe someone can do another one of these for the 15th, we've gotten a lot of new members and may see more if by some miracle RA3 is actually playable next year.

I knew that the game was old (thanks to Wikipedia), but it does prove that how a community can keep abandon alive for anyone enough to play for themselves.
I've only been on the site for a month, but one hell of a thanks to the long running members (Excluding some) in keeping the game alive and the work that was put on the stand-alone mods. These mods may of been kept on the forms, but it still keeps the spirit of RA2 running to this day.

Do I ever, I spent a pretty penny on a top of the line Pentium 4 3.2GHz and a Radeon X800 XT to play smoother back then. I still have that bucket of bolts sitting around somewhere. If I can manage to crack it open I have a couple things I never had a chance to really post. Like a corny cherry shaped hammer object Lu-Tze made for me for my birthday long ago.

I remember getting it as a birthday present alongside Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory. Still enjoy RA2 now and again by playing with AI bots. Gave up on modding it since time and good ideas are completely exhausted.

I also remember how awful my usernames were at the time.

What do you mean? Usernames from over 13 years ago are the best! Amirite?

Of course. Joined the original RA2 forums Dec 19th 2003 myself. Had the name for a year or so before that though, but it was supposed to be for a character. Ended up with this name because my emails for my confirmation emails never showed up for my first two accounts. Very unoriginal names of "Zoid" and "Shield Liger"... I was like 11 or whatever at the time. Got banned for a time because that got found out, but there's a loophole; having parental permission/ supervision got around the under 13 rule. I think the permission part was supposed to be notarized, not that I knew that at the time, and I certainly didn't have my mom watching everything I did online. Meh.

I wonder how many people that i knew back in the day are still around here?  So sad they never made a better Robot game then RA2/mods.  Every couple years I wander back over here and am surprised this place has gotten so big and is still really active.  Still see some old names too...  back then the forum wars were ever raging and none stood too long back in... god i can't even remember the year.   Good to see the final victor and the best one (arc was ok too! n_n) still going strong.
