Shaokhan Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi guys,I'm Shaokhan, most old players know me as griffin65. I have played this game since year 2000 with some time on and off. Because the official Westwood server is down, I played some games over Hamachi in last couple of months and recorded some games more or less successfully and I thought I would share what I recorded with others here. Some of you may have seen the games, some not. I plan to update this thread should I decide to post more games. I would love to post some more multiplayer games, but it is hard to get a decent game off, there is lack of players and the few that are available to play most likely won't make it a good game. And this is a challenge for you guys, those who think that can compete with me, come on Hamachi and kick my ass I wished to play through every mission under 15 minutes, as I originally had 15 minutes limit on Youtube videos, however after uploading 10 videos I got notification that I had no limit anymore, but I still pushed myself to do all missions under 15 mins. At first the 9th missions seemed impossible, but after a few attempts I managed to do it Pretty tough sometimes, especially last mission for Harkonnen, it is the only mission I had to use turrets in. Also if there are 2 maps to choose from, I choose the one I did not play in easy campaign for some variety. Some of good games are here: Youtube ChannelIf you want to be notified about my new posted games, feel free to subscribe.UPDATE 03-09-2011: As requested, posted Missions 1-6 all separated: 1 mission - 1 video.UPDATE 12-09-2011: Added hard missions video links.UPDATE 22-09-2011: Added 4 more multiplayer gamesUPDATE 24-10-2011: Learned to use videolists on Youtube, so deleted links here and made groups of videos, added some more multiplayer videosUPDATE 31-03-2012: Added some multiplayer lists to make them more organized and easier to search in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Nice one, thanks for posting the vids, it's nice when modding the game to be able to quickly remind yourself what happens in each missions and I'll find your vids useful for that.Any chance of uploading the split versions of the earlier levels?

The normal one is smoother, HD one more visually appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I prefer the normal one, especially since Dune isn't an HD game anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I prefer the normal one, especially since Dune isn't an HD game anyway16 bits at 640x480 isnt HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 16 bits at 640x480 isnt HD?640x400 you mean xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 640x400 you mean xDof course, wouldn't want to mislead anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaokhan Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well looks like some people seem to think that 640x480 in 16bit is HD I prefer the normal one, especially since Dune isn't an HD game anywayBut for the rest of you, Corel allows to render it at high resolution while giving it a better visual look and it really does look different when you change to 1080 on Youtube, I would say it looks much better, but I guess it is a matter of opinion. MVI, I will post the separated videos soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaokhan Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 So I updated my videos, added hard mode campaign, these are probably my last videos for awhile, as there is really nothing to record anymore, maybe when new players come to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
