Ive been missing from the RA2 community for about a year or so now, or has it been longer, time flies.

Has there been anything new/big released since I have been gone?

Naryar's just put out a new NAR AI pack.

Haxmode has been discovered. IRL is the new building trend. JoeBlo and Kill have left GTM. Nary still acts as an insane lord.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #3 on:** February 17, 2012, 04:22:43 AM »

Anyone noticed that G.K. has basically left?

Welcome back, goose. =) You're just in time for the latest version of NAR AI. 123 put together an AI pack as well, and Restocked was coming along nicely for a while.

And I've noticed GK still doing his mod stuff in the Tourney section, S_M.

Oh my god, it's Goose. I don't remember you being active since the official forums went down :O

Anyways, probably one of the more significant discoveries in RA2 in your absence was something we like to call "Hax Mode." Read more on it here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,7468.0.html

Other than that, we've just kept pushing in-game limits and all that fun stuff. Apart from some AI packs, there hasn't been a major mod since DSL 2.0 dropped, so you haven't really missed much there (although Naryar did try to "rebalance" DSL on his own). I'm sure you'll get caught up quickly.

I keep nudging him on FB.

But not much has really changed here on GTM.

there's been plenty of new members (such as myself) but not many have stuck.

Sparkey got permabanned.

I barely play RA2 atm, I'm taking a break, except my mod duties.

looks like the last cat is out of the bag.

Its pretty cool that a lot of the people I remember are still around.

is "IRL" trying to follow real life rules, like no crazy stacking and whatnot?

the community is fairly split on their opinions of building style.

Are you saying you knew of Hax Mode's existence before it's release, Goose?

Pretty much. It's trying to build designs you'd see fighting in real-world combat events, instead of exploiting the ever-screwy physics of RA2. Some of people's IRL styles range from sub-standard DSL to almost purely aesthetic builds, such as Cage of Mirrors from the B4ttlebots tournament. There's still a good deal of dispute over what constitutes IRL and what doesn't, but placing aesthetics above efficiency is a good place to start with an IRL build, I feel.

Scrap Daddy, NFX, SKBT and DSC have good IRL showcases

How did you know I was going to say that? Just a shame that the Razor Tips aren't as good in this one than in previous games.
