Do you have the Firestorm expansion? Options

[Jpmaarten]

I really like to know how many people actually own Firestorm, because I am going to acquire it and as a mapper would like to know if it is worth it to map for Firestorm.

Also I did not find any poll like this. If there is one, than I overlooked it...

2nd, is Firestorm actually worth buying?

[Creagor]

Firestorm is worth buying. I own it, and would not like to not own it. It adds a lot in terms of mapping, like the faunas and crystal terrain sets. Its also just nice to play.

[Warlord]

i dont own firestorm "cries" but im going to get it

[Blacksilence]

dont the game totally sucks just download it.

[Tore]

dont the game totally sucks just download it.

traitor!!!!!!! err um ok that was a bit to hard to say

on-topic again Firestorm IS worth buying it adds allot of stuff like 2 new campaigns new units like mobile stealth
generators

[Team Black]

aye I own firestorm
aye it is worth buying

aye there is a firestorm-poll, in this subject.
...I know it isn't exactly the subject of the topic title, I put it there just for fun.

[Uufje]

Yeah, it's worth buying, it adds lots of new features and units to the game. And yes, I own Firestorm.

[Blacksilence]

you dont need a registration key so just download it spares money.
And so many new units

Gdi
Juggernaut avaible in game. Best ever apend to gdi :biggrin:
Mobile emp Not avaible ingame, you have to change it in firstrm.ini
Mobile warfactory
Limpet drone where do you need it for only in the missions.
Drop pods Nice you dont need it must well in the missions


Nod
Cyborg reaper vey unbalenced
Limpet drone where do you need it for only in the missions.
Mobile Stealth Generator very nice for nod :biggrin:
Fist of war.Also mobile war factory.
Cabal buildings
New cabal obelisk

And new missions

Whats the piont

[Tore]

err you can build the mobile emp ingame you cant build cabal stuff ingame

[Crash]

Tibweb doesn't support warez and stuff like that.
I recommend buying the game in TFD or finding somebody selling it at ebay as there is not many stores selling it anymore.

Yes, I own firestorm and I am very happy with it.
And I think the true Command and Conquer fan would buy it....

[Ixith]

i own firestorm obviously and i do recommend buying it. simply because it does give you more options when mapping. AKA these things:
-more cliffs. the mouldy green ones that i usually use
-more lats. the blue and green molds plus the swampy stuff in the waters
-the Kodiak Crashsite
and a few other things and seeing as a lot of people now make FS maps then you might want it just so you can play those maps.

but yes it also introduces 2 new campaigns 9 missions each although very similar to each other. and yes there are a decent amount of new units.

@Black Hawk the Mobile EMP is able to be used normally in skirmish without having to edit the inis.
and i must also disagree with you on the Cyborg Reaper being unbalanced. sure its missiles are pretty deadly and it can heal in tiberium and web infantry but think about its low armor and the fact that when used in groups of things it will web your own infantry and shoot your own units with one or 2 of its missiles.

and the purpose of using the Limpet Drone is so you can reveal terrain without them knowing it by simply attaching it to their unit. especially if its on a harvester cause then you find their base easily. It can be quite useful especially if fog of war is on i do believe.

oh and its the Fist of Nod not the Fist of War

anyways i suggest buying it. besides its better to have the CD anyways. and plus you can probably find it on E-bay for like $5 and thats not that big of a waste of money.

[Blacksilence]

I have downloaded it.
And i'm getting crazy of the things that dont work in fs or the other way so i just copy the hole fs in to ts.
Is better, and if you download my mod you have to put your one Firestorm files in a map because lot of the things i have in my mod are from the expansion.

This is an offtopic, sorry for that!
if you think of the sims...
1) you buy orginal game for like 70$
2) you buy expansion 1 for 40$
3) you buy expansion 2 for 40$
4) you buy expansion 3 for 50$
5) you buy expansion 4 for 30$
6) That is a total of 230 $
The reason they do this is because they simply want to make money...

Tiberian sun (orginal price)

Tiberian sun : 60$
Firestorm: 40$
Total of 100$

you still think it's a waste of money ?

Look at the prices now

Tiberian sun : 13$ in store. About 0-10 $ on ebay
Firestorm : around 5$

you could own both for 15$. is that a waste of money ?
I didnt buy the orginal game but I have the first decade..
And I would have bought it if it got out now...

[Creagor]

Black Hawk says:

I have downloaded it.

As it says in the rules:

Warez and other illegal things
We do not support warez. That includes cracks, cd-key's and posting of source codes or any copyrighted material. Mods, while formally illegal, are 'tolerated' of course (and condoned by Electronic Arts), otherwise half of the fun of this forum would be gone wouldn't it

This means that TibWeb does not support the illegal downloading of things. Although you are not posting links to downloads or anything, you are still promoting it. This is not the first time you have mentioned "downloading" software - do not do it again.

As has been said, its hardly a waste of money. I got hold of Firestorm off ebay in a limited edition big box thing for only £4 (around $7-$8), including postage.

Another benefit of FS, as Black hawk sort of mentioned - some mods need FS to work.

[DoomToHel]

i wish i owned firestorm.. here they don't sell it anymore so i guess i will just have to download it. Does anybody know a link to where i can download the expansion or anything of that sort?

[offtopic] Can you post a picture of what the two new terrians look like? [offtopic]

You're asking somebody to do something against the rules.
Don't do that. If you do it many times, it may result in warnings.
People sell firestorm here: http://www.ebay.com/
And it shouldn't be more than around 5$ + transport of the thing
You may also find it in sold out stores etc. but it's very hard
I found firestorm in a store for a year ago.
I bought The First Decade which includes firestorm and of course, all the games

You can find pictures of Firestorm here : http://media.pc.ign.com/media/013/013294/imgs_1.html

[Blacksilence]

If you use it for your self then its oke.
But i wont get into trouble because i have now the originalgame and expansion.
Getting rid of that illegal stuff

[Crash]

It feels alot better buying the game.
Also the fact that if you're caught....

To be totaly honest...
I used to download

But now I have The First Decade and I am very happy with it

[Jpmaarten]

Great to know alot of people own it and are happy with it. And I will not dowload it, as I just like to have everything original. I became a fan of Alien And/Versus Predator and bought all the DVD's for over € 100,-. Don't have any regrets from that, nor will I have them for Firestorm, as it looks very promising

[Warlord]

where can i get firestorm i really want it

[Nimron]

where can i get firestorm i really want it

You could buy it off the internet:
http://www.amazon.com/
http://www.ebay.com/

Or go to your local shop (although I doubt that they have it )


So I would buy it off the internet!

I got it with the first decade.
Before that I downloaded it **SIIIGHH***
Now I have tfd with all the games legally ^_^
I like the orginal box art of tiberian sun and firestorm

[Corsair]

I got the sucker when it came out, although I wasn't really looking for it

I was strolling through Best Buy or something and I saw it on the shelf (but I didn't know it was even out :shock: )

Just like the expansion to Starcraft, I was just lucky and I happened across them at the store

[Denmon]

Maybe I should just get along on making that Firestorm mod for TS... Basicly adding all the FS features for regular TS. But thats warez right?

[Machine]

AFAIK, it would be warez; since you'll be ripping from firestorm, and adding nothing, so it would be hardly a mod; but still, all mods can be considered warez AFAIK

[ShDwBoRn]

i've had FS for a long time.

My favorite part of FS is the cyborg reapers, their net launcher weapon is awesome if you give it to rocket infantry along with a M1Carbine and call him a "Man Hunter"

I bought FS for five bucks from a EB games bargain bin.

[confactor]

got it somewhere, probably behind a drawer in my closet due to non-usage...

[SeekSomethingNew]

i got it, and ebay seems to have a rise of Firestorm packs on there, i see 23 the other day!...

Or you can just order the C&C Collection in the Orange box for $20 and get RA2+YR, Renegade, TS+FS.. AND a generals Demo! Quite the bargain eh?

[gufu]

And you can still find those in the shops!
