I bought it because it seemed cool and moddable. I bought it in late late December 2006, and I joined the old forum in January 2007. The first topic I made was something like this:
"Do I have To Use 3d Studio Max to Mod RA2?"
then Ian005 said something
then ACAMS was like "DON'T POST LIKE THAT"
^he closed the topic
I dont blame him, I would have done same
good times, good times...

I had the game paid for and on order before it came out....BUT, I live way down here in Texas, so by the time I got the game there were already 10-12 players online that had the game for about a week before me.
MAD Scientist was one of the first few on line too (https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1941), and some guy I have never seen before named Neomyst (sp) and nobody remembers him.....I think he may have been a game developer, because he had awesome bots and then just disapeared.

found in bargain bin at some store. played, liked, stopped, found forum year later. played some more.
-
Bought at a CompUSA probably in 2003, because I loved Battlebots at the time. Then I took a break for years from the game till I discovered Click's website. Brought back my interest.

I bought the game about a week after it came out and joined the forums in early '05. I left just in time to miss BBEANS 3, but came back sometime in '06 I think.
-
really roboshark? I thought you joined in my time, ohwell nice to know
I remember a long while ago I was convinced that RA1 was robot arena 3, I mean the graphics do look sorta better than ra2. Isnt it that in RA1 your bot couldnt leave the ground?
Im amazed how much the 2 games are different, RA1 Looks some how a bit futuristic to me
-
I bought both Ra1 and Ra2 within weeks of them comming out. I joined the official forums in late 06, messed up my computer and came back in the summer 07.
RS, you joined the official forums as R0B0SH4RK like a day after I joined right after bbeans 3 videos were coming out.
-
I got it for my birthday a long time ago.
-
I remember scrap daddy, you made me want to play this game again, remember when I disappeared over summer? and then you reminded me of this game over youtube.
I once looked at SD as a semi n00b, not anymore, no way, one of the best bot builders now in my opinion
for some reason I have this weird memory of playing RA2 at my friends house, and in his game, when you were choosing the angle for a baseplate anchor, there were so many different angle to choose from, I also remember him having more available controller spots for the bot.
-
I discovered the game by chance, I think in 06. I downloaded off the website, played, loved. Didin't get involved in any forums though, and throughout most of summer 07, my internet conked out, so I couldn't. Stopped playing the game for about a year, then I discovered this forum by chance in March this year. This was now on my laptop which I got for xmas, so I downloaded RA2 off a file sharing site, joined the forum, playing, loving.
-
as I said, I got it off a P2P site looking for robot wars style games.
-
I pirated it in the beginning but eventually brought it to be able to patch and thus get some downloads working.
-
i downloaded the demo from the site and though it was worth buying the full version.
-
I ordered RA2 online before it was released. I got it a few days after the release date. If memory serves right, I had to go to the post office to pick it up for some reason.
I think I joined the old old forums in either 2000 or 2001. I don't really remember.

Chose this over some racing game at my mom's store when I was a kid back in 2005. I messed around with it a little, built some crappy bots. Then looked at the package again sometime in mid-2006 and saw the site link. I lurked for a while, finally making an account in June of 2006. So basically, it was by chance that I joined this community then because I barely chose RA2 over that racing game.
-
Learned about it through Robotcombat.com & got it on amazon/eBay. 2004/05 I think.
-
Like a lot of people, I got it from P2P while looking for some RW games... cos I was bored of RW:ED.
Joined forums a week or two later, lurked a bit.
-
Summer '07 for me as well. I was on a hiatus for a while because my life got insanely complicated for some time. It still is pretty complex, but i can build a bot every now and then.
I'm really glad that psycolone does not have the avatar of the kid eating cereal anymore... Dang... seeing that animated gif was creepy and transfixing in a weird way.
-
I had a thing for searching for anything robotic (I was still hoping for battlebots to come back and wanted something in between).
Found this game in Early 08 and bought it a bit later
Trolled the forums a bunch, mostly on the bot exchange. Left for a LONG time because I was afraid I would get in trouble because I edited the info on a bot on the bot exchange.
The bot was some crapass rammer, and the info was editable. someone had written "I AM A FAGGOT", and stuff like that, so I changed it.
When I came back I searched every corner of the site looking for it.
I was in the Chatterbox as Somebody and asked 3 times to no avail.
I finally PUT IT IN ALL CAPS and got an answer, with some flaming.
I joined the forums very soon after.

Yeah, my first account was "roboshark" with no numbers or caps, but then I got bored for a while when I downloaded Firebeetle's component pack and everything got easy with cheat parts. I re-installed RA2 later on a newer computer and remembered how much I liked it, so I re-joined the forums around the same time as you with a new account because I forgot the password to my old one.
I really don't remember BBEANS 3 at all though...
Well, I just checked the web archive, and my first join date was August 20, 2006, so SD's right. The confusing thing is, the page it was on is from March 2005 :|
-
Got the game right when it came out. Even played some RA1 for a while and I still remember the hilariously bad tech demo with the yellow bot and the nightmare clone.
-
i think we should mod that tech demo. just decompile the .txt so you can see all the parameters then make another bot in 3dsmax5 with those params.

Yellow Buzzard was its name. While the demo was a bit awful, I liked the arena.
Were you around for the RA1 with physics demo? It had a bot with the hidden forklift component and I think the other one was just a simple wedge. I wish I could remember where to find that.
-
I remember playing the demo,I was so horrible at it when it came to driving.I remember using C.R.U.S.H. on the clawtop,right when the fight started I drove off the edge and lost.I bought the game a few minutes later off atari.com.Added some bots on the bot exchange (the only good bot I added was Indefatigable (not a replica)).

Weird, cuz I don't.

I found this game at some site (I forgot what that was) on Feb. 15, 2009 and downloaded it. I searched the game with Google and this site came out. I joined a day later.
