Er, so the strategy is to trick the other person into quitting the game? Fail.
All games are a little about playing with the nubs, surely?

Press F10 for Rocket Launcher
Alt+F4 for more resources
Press the windows key to win
Press the windows key and L to win more.

That kinda stuff.

It's all in good fun.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I love how the muzzle of the rocket launcher is hexagonal. Low polygon count.

The charactor movment is horable and the art is terrable ,
the mechanic of shooting the tiny dudes is good though

You realise this game, the code and the art, audio assets etc. were all designed and created by a single person in 48 hours, which includes eating and sleeping, right?
The Ludum Dare competition entries are all based on themes. The developer doesn't even know what the theme is until the competition starts. The theme for this one (Ludum Dare 18) was "Enemies as Weapons". Some of the entries get carried forward in to bigger full-sized games but most are just fun proof of concept pieces showing the creativity that a lot of modern commercial games lack, albeit without the same presentation finesse.
I thought this game was great, with the different puzzles to solve with the gunners, the stacking of hats (reminded me of TF2!) and the different launchers.


yes I know it was made in a short peroid of time , IT still stands that charactor movment is bad , as well as the art work (evan for a 2day project) .

thats just a fact , The game dose have some intresting mechanics but the art and charactor movment is bad.

personaly if im setting out to make a game in 2 days i would do something more simple that i could exicute faster and to a higher quality level.

allso charactor movment is not something that takes allot of time to program ( if u know how to alredy do it)

I find it as hilarious as the Somalis did when the Americans are freaking out, ducking, hiding and making a scene when a man points an RPG launcher at them. It's one thing to not want a gun pointed at you, it's another when you are afraid of an empty tube.

You mean you don't have a rocket launcher on your car? >> ^Tymbrwulf:

I thought they already had a "big boy" racing game? I think it was called Gran Turismo or something...
Us big boys enjoy realism you know

I don't see who failed at what here. As if a sex toy is surprising to see in a suitcase of all places.

If it had been a handgun or say.. rocket launcher. That's more up to par.

ZOMG WE'RE LIMITED TO 700 ICBMs, submarine-based nuclear launchers, and nuclear-equipped bombers. Instead of being able to wipe out 99.9% of the world's population, we'll only be able to wipe out 99.8%. Stop the presses!

Ok. So that shooting was justified. How about shooting people coming to their aid. Are you a combatant if you try to pick up wounded? Only the police can help them? I mean couldn't they follow the van?

ALso did you see the hellfire missiles? How many innocent people died because they think they saw someone with a gun enter a bldg. You can count in that video at least six innocent people blown up without any warning.

Also, why can't they shoot some warning rounds, then if they get up or point a gun, you kill them. WHy couldn't they wait for the police to arrive.

>> I'm kinda puzzled that they say the "tone" is all it takes to declare it "junk".
Among the things claimed in the report is that there were indeed people carrying AK-47's and an RPG launcher in that crowd of people around the journalists, and that they found the weapons on the scene afterward.
They also claim that journalists are supposed to be wearing specially marked body armor, and are to have their work cleared through the military first so they at least know you're in a particular area, and these two did neither.
They also admit that what was aimed at the helicopter was a camera and not an RPG, but that the furtive nature of how the photographer was acting (tenatively poking his head around the corner, and then leaning out around it with minimal exposure) made it look like it was a weapon being trained on the helicopter, not a camera (a sense I had myself watching this video).
They also say that camera equipment alone doesn't identify individuals as non combatants because insurgents will sometimes bring camera crews to document their attacks.

I'm not sure I believe all of those 100%, but they do also include still shots with circles around what they believe are AK's and an RPG launcher in the hands of people in that crowd.

I notice, however, that they manage to redact the bulk of the picture that supposedly shows the RPG launcher at the scene afterward, to the point where you don't see even a piece of the supposed RPG launcher. However, they do clearly show an AK on the ground.

Seems to me that the right response from Wikileaks should be to try to enhance the video to see if they can validate the assertion that the other people in the crowd were armed. If they're not, it calls the whole rest of the thing into question.

Reuters can probably also provide documentation on whether their journalists had notified the military where they'd be that day or not.

Here's some acid. Here's a rocket launcher. I'm just going to film this for a while...from over here.

i like how the guy just sits there saying, yea we did this, no biggie.
But they made a friggin hovertank, and a friggin rocket powered one as well.
If they had continued they might have made one that had a "sharks with friggin laserbeams on their heads" launcher for a weapon.

That deserves an upvote.

The LAST thing I would want with me if I were tripping my ballz off would be a rocket launcher, M16, and a full platoon of armed men.

Oh and alcohol...booze dont mix man...

In my own particular idiom, I want to comment on this whole "killing innocent civilians" line of thinking that some of you are using. For example - this guy in the vid. He isn't qualifying what he defines as an 'innocent civilian'. I expect his persective is something along these lines... 1. Iraq war is unjust. 2. Threfore all American actions in it are UNjust. 3. Therefore, aggressive action against anyone in Iraq is 'killing innocent civilians'. We don't know jack-all about this guy's actual situation except what he's telling us, which is obviously filtered, slanted, and biased to the nth degree. I expect the members of his platoon would have a very different interpretation.

People use the phrase to make themselves sound angelic, and to label things they don't like as demonic. So when you trot out the phrase 'killing innocent civilians' it makes it sound like the soldiers are going around, rounding up random citizens, and blowing them away. In reality, that 'innocent civilian' could very well have been a foreign nationalist Taliban jackass with a rocket launcher. Or (more likely) he had to shoot at a Taliban guy and innocent civilians were in the vicinity caught in the crossfire. It is vitually a complete guarantee that no person at ANY level ever told this guy, "Hey - go out and start shooting innocent civilians". That's in his head.

So this guy needs a little more factual evidence before I give any credence to his wild accusations. Especially since he loses 100 points on the 'sanity scale' for being a truther. Plus his language is idiotically generic. I very much doubt there is a scrap of evidence of any kind that American soldiers were ever ordered to 'kill everyone in a crowd once there is a single shot'. It is patently ridiculous to claim that 'EVERY apartment building in Bagdhad' has been blown up by the military. This guy is clearly two cans short of a six-pack.
