Sequel

This game has been announced for Nintendo Revolution and needs to be updated. I don't want to cock it up, just thought i'd let someone know.

Anyone here in the mood to add information on the actual gameplay to the article? This is a game article after all.

No problem.--Arima 07:20, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

does anyone else think the long list of units is a bit pointless? Jimbob1630 19:44, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone give the Link to the Unit List since it was moved? --Arima 05:10, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about the Reaction section; it's probably POV. -- gakon<sup>5</sup> [[User_talk:gakon5|(talk)]]

Need more info

If one is to place a "Spoiler Alert", the article must have something a person starting a game would not know.

I shall do the honors of adding storyline specific information to the article. Another must take up the task of the actual Gameplay. That is, unless you want this article to remain a dry, barren shell.

-Seurat. (Author of last post.)

More information is fine, but you must pick the information you wish to include carefully. WP:NOT#GUIDE, WP:NOT#INFO, and WP:CVG/GL#Scope_of_information will be useful reads. Ong elvin 13:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images?

Why are the images posted as links? Are they copyrighted or something?

--Sam Green 19:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If I recall correctly those images were added by an anon, who couldn't upload them. If we can clarify the copyright status, we could upload them and have them shown in the article properly. Having said that, we don't want to get carried away adding images of units or we'll have more images then text. -- Steel 19:45, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed them for the time being. -- Steel 19:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speculation

Big chunks of this page are speculation and original research, which is a WP no-no. Espect it to reduce drastically in size shortly. Geoff B 19:13, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right, done, which involved deleting entire sections in some cases. Still not happy with it, even with the listcruft, game advice, speculation and OR reduced, but I'll leave it a while, see if anyone else has anything to say. Geoff B 09:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This game has already been released, how can there be "original reaserch"?

Why don't you find out what original research is before asking how there can be any? Whether the game has been released or not is irrelevant. 09:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Resource management

How is resource management handled in this game? The reason I ask is because I'm having trouble figuring out whether this is an RTS or an RTT (real-time tactics) game. SharkD 18:10, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no resource gathering, it is primarily combat based and some might say it is more offa shoot em up game than a strategy game. Phalanxia 20:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also

The Heavy tank looks like a Mammoth Tank without Missiles, 4 treads and no auto healing system.(Optimus the F22 Raptor (talk) 00:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

RTT's Fact-tag

I don't know anything about this game, but why is the "RTT" denomination fact-tagged, but not the "third-person shooter"? Miqademus (talk) 21:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should the tagging of one necessitate the tagging of the other? Do you believe that the description of "third person shooter" is sufficiently cited? If not you should tag it too. Alastairward (talk) 22:13, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, are you saying that you're actually selectively tagging terms? I mean, letting certain terms "slip" while "cracking down" on specific others? Miqademus (talk) 22:59, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I just don't have time to do everything everywhere. You on the other hand are free to tag the other information there, just because I don't doesn't mean you can't. Alastairward (talk) 23:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Community section

I'm not a confident enough editor to simply make any changes myself, but it seems odd to lead the article's body with a community section advertising a Discord server (complete with a few punctuation errors). These sections seem to more commonly sit at the end of an article, if they are present at all, and is it poor form to direct people to a Discord server from Wikipedia?

208.4.80.130 (talk) 12:51, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty of removing the section, as I believe it violates Wikipedia's rules on self-promotion. Additionally, if the section is re-added in the future, consider placing it according to the style guide for articles about video games. Olchris (talk) 08:44, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
