Jagged Alliance 2

Ever since, there's been talk of TB vs RT and how TB is actually obsolete and anachronical (in the minds of Bethesda), I started playing Jagged Alliance 2 again.

Before restarting, I looked for mods, thinking to myself, such an old game won't have many mods. I then found a very interesting fact: it seems that the developers of JA2 released the source code to the community. The results have been nothing but positive, with a fan made patch perfecting the game so much that the game is now vastly superior to any tactical game I have ever played (not that many, FoT (I know, I know), Silent Storm, Silent Storm Sentinels and Hammer and Sickle).

To anybody who claims that a turn-based combat system is simplistic and old-fashioned: FUCK YOU, play a few turn-based games and let's see if you can claim that when you get your ass handed to you.

Enter Jagged Alliance 2. You can get it via Steam now, so there's no excuse not to play this game. The graphics are dated yes, but the combat system is so intricate that you'll ask yourself why every tactical game isn't like this.

1.13 patch: Get this, it makes the game, pussylicious and juicy like a fine steak (chopped, live from a water buffalo, spot the reference), http://ja2v113.pbwiki.com/ .

The game has it all, humour, very good combat, good voice acting (Ivan Dolvich, here), intelligent writing and queen Deidranna.
 
Been playing 1.13 for long time and the new inventory system made a nice new twist to game. 8-) Also Renegade Republic inst bad either. But before 1.13 made appearance there were nice things called Diedriana Lives & Urban Chaos. I have high hopes that they might be converted to the new 1.13 format. In 1.13 we can safely call it weapons Overkill and gun nuts wet dream.
Presonaly im enjoying the INSANE difficulty, BR good, SCIFI and Drassen Counter attack now thats what I call battle. :clap:

PS: Oh yeah finally you can set militia and civilian turn to extra fast.
 
It's a bitch to download it from RapidShare. Anyone knows where to get it?
 
There's a 1.13 mod called DBB mod which adds a million more toys....
I made quite a few images for it (look for Buren for author... that's me :D )
I made a few for 1.13 but i haven't played with the latest version so i dunno if the project lead put them in...
 
Agree with Wooz - is there some other place to get it? It says that the file doesn't exist to me. Screw Rapidshare!

"Laughs Maniacally" No you cant ever have enough weapons, not for JA2 anyway. Personally I think the patch has made a great game into fantastic one, since I keep returning to it over and over again. No small role plays the part of the work moder are putting into this project. My hats of to them, Respect man.

No warez advertising, beach.

Also, Woozer's talking about the patch not the game.
 
Bear's Pit. Sounds like a gay IRC channel or forum :wiggle:

Rapidshare is down? Hmm, as other members have suggested, I would give Moddb, Bear's Pit and http://area.xrmb2.net/ a try.

There's even a "supposed" Multiplayer version but I'm not too sure.

Regarding the conversion to Deidranna Lives, I think that the modder that created that one said that he no longer has the time to work on that but that he may, somewhere in the future.


I don't recall reading about UC being converted, try the Bear's Pit forum.

That battle is insane!!! Over, 100+ soldiers. There's been several threads about how to get through the battle. Most involve, climbing rooftops and sniping with FAL rifles.

On a not entirely-unrelated, not entirely-related note, our own Lisac2k posted a very interesting thread where several graphical update propositions were suggested. Such as using the FoT sprites to improve JA2 and even porting JA2 to FIFE.
 
Got to bump this. I used to play JA2 at high school years ago, after seeing this topic and installing 1.13, i am hooked all over again.

It adds so many things to the game including a sick amount of weapons. And there are lots more additions/bug fixes.

Every Fallout fan should give it a try, surely atmosphere is uncomparable to Fallout world but at least it is miles better then Tactics.
 
Isn't Jagged Allience 2 considered abandonware? I've seen links to download it on legitimate websites.
 
I axed the Drassen Battle segment. Sorry, not my piece of cake.

Besides, I fail to see how trying to take back Drassen instead of strengthening the fuck up all other cities, especially Alma.
 
Well, can't see a download for JA2. There's one for JA1, tho'.

Well its a matter of taste really, guess there is some masochist part of me that enjoys that looooooooong battle. Besides its one of the few things that gives me challenge, its just pity it docent happen with other cities. I remember one game where I geared up, mined 2 sides and got mortars on roof. Start was good killed 1-2 waves without scratch, until l suddenly Reaper is shot in the back on top of the roof by 3 greyshirts. From there my brilliant victory went out of window. The 2 sides that weren't covered swarmed with greyshirts, suddenly it turned to last stand Buzz taking the bullet, well at least Lynx died happy knowing she was wasted before him.
