All con K-bot start. How silly is that? It�s an insult to your clanmate to try and pull off such a thing on a map like Comet Catcher.
At least that�s what I thought when I saw the beginning of this game. I don�t like all con. It�s boring, it�s the flavor of the week for experts who have done everything else 1000 times and need to make things harder for themselves, just for the challenge. I was expecting a bragdemo-showoff-waste of my precious time. Oh yeah Scotty, the flame vault was standing by!
But, thanks to Eyedoll, this turns out to be a very intense game. Eye plays the map in a traditional way, vehicle, raiding flashes, samsons later on. And his offensive gameplay vs. Scottys defensive and slow expansion, is a great combination. Scotty has to bring out some offensive units later on in the game, and the game is on. The H is O! (about 1% of you, tops, will catch that reference)
There�s no way to tell who�s gonna win. One moment Eye is getting the upper hand, only to get hit by a sneaky flank attack, before counterattacking somewhere else. Creative gameplay on both sides, very good UC all around. Well, expect for when Eye had the chance to kill Scott early on with his Samson army, but didn�t see the opportunity. (See if you can spot it, it�s just below the left/top crater)
More games like this please! No, I don�t mean all con, I mean creative games where the players have to adapt to something they arn�t used to. That makes a good demo.
