Will a butter freeze or not? This question came to us from ancient Greece. Philosophists of that time thought that each man had to make conclusions using logic only. It was bad to make an experiment. Many philosophists discussed the question "Will a butter freeze or not?" for many years, but nobody made an experiment. Any experiment was considered as bad and evil, nobody of them even wanted to do it. Some centuries passed and people realized that logic was not an allmighty thing. They changed their point of view then.

The same is about you. You heard about changes, but did not try to play yet. You try to make conclusions about very complex system without experimenting with it. It is not good. And the second bad thing is that you don't read my posts. So, I need to quote myself:

The changes made are not final. Beta version will be released next month. You will be able to download it, play it and test all these innovations. I hope you will like it. If not, I can return some parameters back.

If, what was suggested more early, there would be an aditional stream which is more like other RTSes, that would be great. Sorry creator about me being a bit harsh. At that time i had a bit of a fight with my parents so i was frustrated. My apologies.

Nice example creator,but its not objective,its subjective.Also this could be:maybe we could put squares or hexagons on cars instead wheels??Its obvious it wont be good,maybe it could work,but you have a feeling that it wont.
Well,im here for testing anything you create in contra,i just wanna save us some time and say what i dislike by reading,i dont need to lick electrical things to see that its going to kill me,reading about it its enough for me.

[gundamwen]

We should give a try on the new changes, I played Star Craft, it was not a bad game to play, there is only 1 thing i don't like about SC is unit is limited in 200. Also, build more factories do help making a troop faster. well, that is what i do when i play against computer,( with 9 factories, 9 tanks will be built at the same time)

Just an opinion.

BTW, will contra 008 contain any new unit ??

It is unusual, but it works no matter your feeling.

Testing will show everything.

Yes, I'm modelling some new units. I'll show them when they are done.

didyou names them what are they names?

can you change some 3d view of units bulding?

[dcesarec]

Yes,that was my point,anyway we dont se those wheels on street so often
Anyway,sure ill test it,but promise you will bring it back if people still dislike it.

[Arcadian Daze]

you can also to reduce micro
make squad options so you create a group of 2~4 soldiers that act as one unit just like the angry mob
maybe it will be hard to keep the units dead but maybe you can set the respawn tome to endless or soemthing like that(have no idea how angry mobs work )

[gundamwen]

Sounds like Halo Wars of XBOX360(but i think Angry mob are a little too messy), Has any one of you guys played Halo Wars before?? That game is also a great game to play, but again, the only problem of that game is too little units you can make. (40 or 50)

I hope to see some new units that are base on the reality. Like Make some different fighter jets, different gunships (J-10 is for Tank general , and J-11(Su-27) for Flame general and FC-1(super light weight figther) for infantry general, and leave Mig-1.44 for Nuclear general, and Z-9 gunships and so on. ......)

[Su8perkillr]

Creator, please promise that you will bring back changes when we don't like them.

[gundamwen]

At least , we can expect the Challenge mode and campaign mode are coming back, hahaha, I just can't wait to play it. But again, thanks for hard work, Creator.

[Su8perkillr]

maybe make an account before even thinking about joining the team.

[gundamwen]

Any body can help me?? if i want to play Contra with one of my friends in France, what should i do??? I heard that Contra isn't supported by official EA online playing.

[Casojin]

You both have to use either Hamachi or Garena or other VPN software. Instruction is pinned on this forum.
I usually play on Garena these days because my friend can't connect to Hamachi (I think due to his ISP).
Garena is better for people in Asia though (especially SE Asia since the server is in Singapore which is not far away from Thailand).
However, most Russian players use Garena (but there is always lag when we play them, possibly because of international gateway).

So....Which one is good for playing between US and France and China?? my friend is going back to China in Feb, so one is in US, and one is in China, what VPN software is good?? Hamachi??Garena?? Which parts of the forum show how to use these software??
BTW, thanks for the quick reply.

[Casojin]

Hamachi is easy to use. You can google it to find the Hamachi website and download it. You don't even need to register but registration would help you recover your account in case you format your computer. There is a guide (from the program) when you first turn it on. Find Contra network and join it or you can create your own (and let your friend join). If you're in the same network, it's like you're in the same LAN network (hence the name Virtual Protocal Network).

Thank you for the helpful information, i will try it out.

[dcesarec]

You have pinned posts up about hamachi and garena, and as for hamachi, you dont need to register to save your account, only backup all your files from application data/hamachi somewhere safe, and paste them when you first time use hamachi again. Paste before turning hamachi on, or else backup is useless. If you just wanna play with friend, i recommend hamachi.
