Awesome vid, Vertigo.

more people should make RA2 vids in their showcase :) also try and upload at least 480 vids to youtube. all you need to do is import your vid to windows movie maker and when you can select to quality it saves the video as, as long as you use Fraps to record.
I take it that Fraps is free. right?

Thanks

The trial of fraps is free, but it only records for 30 seconds, so you have to film a full legnth match in six parts (start -stop, start-stop etc.)

Wegame (what I used), is completely free though

The normal version of FRAPS is something like $30, IIRC. Which I probably don't. If you want it free, Noodle posted a link to a Piratebay download somewhere, and I got it from that, but I had to run an antivirus scan afterwards. Just a precaution, but it did find one or two minor infections.

Showcase originality = fail

Originality attempts = poor

Why is there praise for the expected?

I've been trying to persuade people to be more original, but they just stick to what they know because they know it's effective.

All credit to Reier for the design, but this is better as it has more chassis HP :P

Ian, its a little hard to make something origional, and can insta-kill as well as a typical pop-up.

When has theory ever had anything to do with RA2?

I tried it, but it had no effect, all it did was move the discs closer to each other (thus protecting the chasis less)

The Snapper II that's green is called the Snapper2, just FYI

You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.
