I have noticed a change in the forums. But let me explain :bigsmile:
I have been away from RA2 for more than a year, and I have seen the progression of the game and the forums since they both came out. I wanted to mention a big thanks to the community for making this so big. :beer:
I just made an account like 5 minutes ago, but I can assure you I have known the forums and the game since they were both created. I have just never had the time for making one :mrgreen:
Now go steal some candy :gunz:

Welcome to the forums, mate :D
-
I got the game at the beginning of 2009, spent 1 year lurking on the forum and joined in April 2010
-
What was your username on the old forums?
-
I just heard about the game and got it from the forum, so i joined the forums before getting the game :rolleyes:
:welcome
Glad you joined :beer:
-
Got the game in February, made an account quickly, disappeared and lurked for 5 months, rejoined and have been active ever since.
-
had ra1 and ra2 since they came out and joined the forum in like 06 asking how to install starcore. Messed up my game and came back like a year later when I had my own computer.
-
Anyway, my origins?
Well, I had both Robot Arena games, and joined the forums in about 2007. I thought I needed it to download stuff, but it turns out I didn't, so I left for two years, focussing primarily on my Youtube Account until then. When Youtube began going to pot, I came here, and gradually worked myself up to a reasonable degree of popularity.
And then this lot beGAN TEARING DOWN MY THREE YEARS OF HAR-
Ahem, I then hit a slight snag, but I've been recovering.

Got Robot Arena 2 in around August of 2009 from some random file sharing site, joined the boards a week after. Forgot about this place for a while (kept playing RA2, though), came back around a year ago, and ended up sticking around. =] Met some great people here, got to throw my opinions out about stuff, and I've had a really good time so far.

found it at a Menard's back in 2008 or 2009

Got RA2 off E-bay in october 2009 after pestering the heck outta my mum to get it for me. I knew about the game since late 2007

HMMMM.... THIS SOUNDS STRANGELY FAMILIAR...
Though, back when the game was out, I had got my copy from a catalog of learning games.
Played it for about a year, then found the 1st RA2 forum in 2006. Hung around there until like early 2008, then "disappeared".
.....
Late 2010, I came back. And apparently I "got better" at RA2.
-
I joined Fall of '06 or Spring of '07. Wanted a game that was better than Robot Wars for PS2. Picked RA2 up on eBay for 10 bucks plus shipping. Joined the forums right after that.
Been mostly active since. Though I do take my breaks away from the game for several months depending on how hectic life is.

hahaha, I remember SpyGuy tried so hard to help me out and ended up getting frustrated. I was so dumb with anything that had to do with a computer. I expected the mods to go right into my game after downloading it and SpyGuy wrote like a page long guide how to install Starcore, but now looking back on it, I still did it wrong and only had the first three bots on each team. :P

The first three bots on each team, eh? I remember doing that with DSL once :P

First off, welcome back to the forums Vivix!
As for me, I'm sure I have posts about my history of RA2 somewhere, but at the moment I'm too lazy to find them so, to summarize:
Bought the game off the official site 2 years ago, found the forums shortly after, started lurking for a few months afterward, signed up in June 2009, and the rest is history.
-
Wanted a game that was better than Robot Wars for PS2.
LOL Exact same for me too..
I youtubed it and found Click's VHS, that got interested in looking it up then eventually Torrenting it :mrgreen:
Played with it a bit for a month or 2 / lurked then joined here January 2009..
Then this Site claimed a significant portion of my life from then on :P
-
I got a cloned copie of RA2 from a guy from my old class (I don`t even know how the CD of RA2 looks like)
I`m playing RA2 since 5 or 6 years withouth a long break. I lurked sometimes. then I joined back in 07 and posted once. 2 years and one day later I returned but I forgott my password so I made a new account and now I`m an active user since 2009.
-
I torrented it way back then (5 years ago or something) but didn't managed to make it work, so I abandoned.
Then two years later I caught interest in it again, discovered the RA2 official forums and Gametechmods, downloaded the game, and made it work.
-
I remember when this place was actually good. Then all you newfags came and ruined it.
-
To put it out, I never had an old account :mrgreen:

Here's my story,
I was into in battlebots back when it was on TV. I had all the toys: biohazard, diesector, ect. Then battlebots went off the air and I forgot about it. Then summer 2009 I saw something on the Travel Channel. It featured robot combat. I was instantly hooked again. I then did some major googleing and found NERC. I attended FI 2009 and decided I was going to build a robot. To research what makes a good robot I turned to my trusty friend known as YouTube. I watched many videos of robot combat and eventually stumbled apon that video of RA2 that everyone finds. (You know the one with that poker with a bunch of iron spikes and pistons.) I then found the RA2 site and decided to click the forum thingy only to find it led me to here. I didn't join at first but I did download RA2 from a certain bearded members sig. I lurked for about a month and then decided to join here using the name of my robot thinking it would get me some "street cred". Sufice to say it only caused some embarrassing google results when looking for my bot so I then asked Mad to change my user name to SKBT and thats pretty much my GTM story.
-
Hmm...
I found out about RA2 When I was watching Robot combat videos in the beginning of december 2008. I downloaded it from some sort of weird website... Then I found GTM At march 2009, and Joined to the forums on May. I've almost been 2 years here. :3

:trollface
I always wanted a GOOD robot combat game (I hate RW:ED on the xbox) and I'd looked before for one, but somehow completely missed this game, which is annoying otherwise i'd have been playing this game for atleast a year longer. Anyway, one time I was in the mood for robot wars again, watching vids though as I already thought that a good game didn't exist, and then I accidently found one of resseti's replica vids. I looked up the game, found this site, got stock an dsl, went away and played (mostly dsl) for about a week, then came back here and registered, and posted my first (crappy) bot not long after.

this is ridiculous am I the only one who bought ra2 for $30?
I got it for $20 if I remember right. I saw an advertisement for it at some robot combat event I went to (don't remember if it was Mechwars or RFL Triangle Series), looked it up when I got home, found out it was already out, and went out and bought it at Best Buy. This was maybe a year or so after it was first released.
I remember watching the little preview video on the main site and being utterly in awe of how realistic the physics looked. After playing RA1 for a while you can't imagine how mind-blowing it is to see bots getting flipped and tossed around.

Saw RA2 on youtube.Got hooked on getting it. 2009 i made some rubbish bots.That same year i found the forum and joined.Got banned,but was given a second chance.And thats it.Still playing.
-
Got RA2 from PR beginning of last year. I joined solely to attract his attention and found ST. I joined it, got ignored, left for a few weeks, came back, started a showcase, spammed ST for seven months, started being active beginning of this year. Now looking for a Stock Tourney to enter and am creating an MW pokerbot this evening
-
I've had RA2 since October... 7 or so days after I joined. I've been actually playing rather then 'getting around to it' for about a month now.Its rather good despite its age.
-
Got the game and joined in 2007.
