I've played TD maps on various games, and ultimately I think Warcraft 3 comes out best from all of them, even from the more modern games. Its low system specs means anyone can play, it has a resource system which is easy to give resources for kills, and has a variety of towers/animations/monsters already included. The armour/weapon system also adds a great deal of depth to TD maps which is currently lacking in SupCom. Personally I can't see SupCom TD maps being able to compete with WC3 TD maps in both quantity and quality. I’m intrigued as to how well Tower Defence will work in SupCom.

Wikipedia has this to say: "The New York Times was aquired by Adolph Ochs, publisher of The Chattanooga Times, in 1896. In 1897, he coined the paper's celebrated slogan, "All The News That's Fit To Print," widely interpreted as a jab at competing papers in New York City (the New York World and the New York Journal American) that were known for lurid yellow journalism."

It is frequently parodied and paid homage to. I don't see how this has anything to do with Bluesnews, who are merely one of many co-opting the NYT's slogan.

They're the only two I use consistently, because they don't really ADD anything to the game so much as IMPROVE two key aspects: the UI and the AI. I look forward to giskard getting back in the game after the big patch is released so his portion of the AIs in the merged pack will finally get updated. At least Sorian has kept things going and his 1.5b (latest) AI is very good. Looking forward to tower defense. :)

That sounds exceedingly awesome--SupCom is perfect for tower defense, what with the physics simulation. Man, that’s the first I’ve heard of a tower defense map/mod for SupCom.

I'd like to hear more about those types of things. I personally am interested in units and any new factions that are in development. I’d like to hear more about those types of things.
