RA2's WTC

Volgin · Commander **Joined**: 07 Mar 2009

Question. In the final release of RA2 (BEFORE 9/11) was the objective of the third Soviet mission ever to destroy the World Trade Center towers? I do remember they patched it after 9/11 and if I remember right it was to change the strings to read BUILDING (like every other civ structure ever).

Whats the word on this? With the way Sophia talks in the map briefing it sounds like she wants it destroyed.

No. It's not an objective, before OR after. However, destroying them gives you power crates. XD

But wasn't it much more useful to garrison them, as they would reveal the whole map? Or am I mistaken with the YR Allied Mission in Seattle #Tongue

I think they were SpySat=yes in the rules from that map, but I am not sure. Anyway, people only said the name tag of the WTC has changed after 9/11

Depends on what year your RA2 was produced. Any copies after 911 didnt include the WTC's. Atleast not the whole thing. In my version only a partial shp remains. But I've since recreated them and are currently in my mod. Wink

and yes they were spysats.

The cutoff versions seems to be WW way of making structures that are extremely tall #Tongue

I posted up the maps from the Original Yuri's Revenge disc that are pre 911. was told nothing was really changed. The Sears Tower was the building that gave map reveal...If my memory is correct

I've never seen pre 911 RA2, but this is whats inside of mine as far as WTC goes. If this is what they used in pre 911 RA2, WW is so lame. Laughing

Westwood used chopped SHPs pre-9/11 so it doesn't matter. Nothing about the graphics changed between then and what we have now. In fact, the mission didn't even change! Destroying them still gives you crates...

well, someone said they were different, but after i looked at them again I couldn't find anything different. Don't know where they got their info from.

I find it funny to think they couldn't even work around they're own engine, and so chopped things here and there. For example, the stunted Eiffel Tower.

Deathanim? I've never seen it in any mix...

From what I know, the only thing changed after 9/11 was that names where changed, so you destroy the 'Generic World Famous Museum' instead of the Louvre #Tongue

What do you mean when you say the Eiffel Tower was "stunted"?
