Definatley.
It's the only mod I play these days and I think I play it more than the real game.

This looks incredibly smart. Superb images, they're very atmospheric.

One of the best mods out there. I have about 4 for Zero Hour and this is the cream of the crop.
I think it's the most balanced with some lovely additions. Burtons grenade launcher is just genius.

What a superb idea! I could'nt stop playing this game in skirmish mode. I only played as the Gundam general, I just could'nt stop. They are modelled brilliantly and the effects that go with them are superb.
A couple of observations:
For a mod that's had so much work put into it, could you make your own speech? When you select a Gundam and he says "Humvee here" it's a bit dissapointing.
Also, talk about Weapons of Mass Destruction. I almost felt sorry for the other players. It feels very one sided when you reach the higher ranks. A Planet Fall will basically wipe out 1 player unless he's built another base somewhere. Then you have the multiple missile strike, this will kill off or cripple a player, and then you still have a multiple warhead nuke, which again is game over for a player. It felt very one sided at this point.
If I was on the receiving end, I'd feel robbed. I would at least want defences that can take out missiles, or a shield. Could there be defences against these strikes? A weapon as well that basically wipes out a player, though fantastic to look at, seems a bit harsh.
Tough comments, and I dont know what I'd do to fix the balance, but I"m still playing it.

Played for the first time last night with the latest download (in skirmish mode).
First, I have to say that this looks graphically stunning, and playing as the GLA, what you've done with Jarmen is brilliant.
2 glitches I noticed were:
1: I chose the Scud promotion at the start, but every other promotion I was unable to choose an upgrade. The icons were highlighted but I just could'nt choose them.
2: The scuds were wreaking havoc but when I pushed the stop button so they would'nt fire it was'nt recognised....they just kept firing.
I'll post any more I notice, but even with these glitches it is a fantastic mod and worth spending the time on IMO.
Regards
Chris
