    Castle Base Vs Stargate Command

    Suggested by Eric Gigliotti
    Admin’s Note: I found this particular request very interesting. Instead of battling each other, the scenario is more of an endurance test. This gets me to thinking that there might be another category that we expand upon in the future…

    Both bases are under siege by the Covenant who are looking for a Forerunner artifact safe-kept by each base.

    Each base has their full complement of soldiers, weapons, vehicles, etc.

    Which base holds out the longest?

    Dark Gundam Vs Knightmare Frame Lancelot

    Suggested by Darkbladex96
    Both mecha are making their debuts on FactPile for this match. While the Dark Gundam arrives from the Mobile Fighter G Gundam series, the Knightmare Frame comes from the same named title.

    While I know a little bit about each, I think I would place my money on the Lancelot – just seems to have more punch in it’s arsenal.

    Roland Deschain Vs Jon Shannow

    Suggested by Jwlynas
    Here we have a very cool battle between two “normal” gunslingers with no superhuman powers facing off against each other. Previously appearing in the Man with No Name & Roland Deschain Vs Max Payne & Niko Bellic battle, this match is the first battle for Roland Deschain of The Dark Tower books up against Jon Shannow of The Jerusalem Man Books.

    Personally, I find this to be an extremely entertaining match due to the simple fact that no super powers are involved. It’s down to who’s quicker on the draw, a battle of skill and wits to determine the winner.

    Reapers Vs Vong

    Suggested by Alex
    Making their debut on FactPile are the Reapers from the Mass Effect franchise up against the Yuuzhan Vong from Star Wars.

    While given the typical powers that any race from the Star Wars universe has, I think for this battle the Reapers would own the upper hand, having this be their battle to lose.

    Who wins?

    Team Avatar Vs Team Green Arrow

    Suggested by Pillar of Autumn
    For this match it’s not a duel to the death, bit more of a race.

    Team Avatar (from the Last Airbender) vs Team Green Arrow!

    Everyone from Team Green Arrow (flash, blah, blah) has their bows and arrows (+trick arrows, etc. arrows) but no armour (to keep it fair).

    Team Avatar has Zuko and Toph added to the original threesome, their standard at the point where Katara and Zuko face off with the Southern Raiders.

    The Battleground is the entire City of Ba Sing Se. All parts of the city are within bounds, including the Earth King’s Palace. The usual residents, such as Long Feng, Dai Lee and the Earth King’s army, will be present.

    Both teams start at the outer wall of Ba Sing Se, the Avatar’s team at the outer wall and the Green Arrow team at the tram.

    The objective is simple. Green Arrow and his team has by some miracle entered the Avatarverse and needs Long Feng’s help to leave. But if the Avatar gets to the Earth King first, Long Feng will be arrested and the Green Arrow and his team will be trapped in Avatarverse for the next two years without a proper toilet!

    Which side wins?

  • Five Ways to Make StarCraft 2 Better 28 CommentsPosted by admin on under FactPilers
    Five Ways to make StarCraft 2 Better

    First off, this is on no way meant as an insult to the developers at Blizzard. Not only have they lived up to the just about impossible hype of delivering a fantastic sequel, but they also added some experiences that we’ve all come to expect since they last released anything from the StarCraft franchise.

    This game is easily the best $60 I’ve spent so far this year and with the exception of a dark horse (which I will name later this year), StarCraft 2 and Halo Reach will be battling it out for bragging rights as the best game of the year for 2010.

    One thing that is most impressive is the FREE battle.net service for logging all matches. Unlike the Star Trek Online clusterf$ck, Blizzard is smart enough to know not to be that greedy. Of course, they are also in the rare position of getting millions of dollars every month from their World of Warcraft subscriptions, so they aren’t as needy as most developers.

    So, now let’s get to the 5 items that Blizzard can improve on by the time they release the next expansion pack, Heart of the Swarm.

    Here goes:

    1.) Bring back LAN play!
    Yes, I know Blizzard won’t be able to track stats or protect from piracy by doing this, but taking away some of the core reasons why people play the game isn’t the best way to get more players.

    2.) Create gameplay matches that I can tailor.
    For example, how about a “No Rush” setting? Very similar to the 5 minute restriction on transferring resources to your allies. Yes, I can already hear some of you laughing and that’s cool. Some of us actually like to “tech up” to the highest levels AND build all of our units. It gets really old having to wall off my base so that some phuktard doesn’t rush me with his zerglings and ends the game.

    3.) Don’t Let People Pause the Game
    The first time it happened I thought it was a glitch. Then after the second time it was un-paused, I had Marines in my base ripping it to shreds. While I know computer gaming offers more than console gaming, as a courtesy to other players, that feature needs to be turned off. If you can’t play for whatever reason, just leave!

    4.) Boot players with poor internet connections/bad video settings
    How many times have you’ve gone to click on something and that effing lag screen pops up because someone’s graphic card can’t process all the pretty images, or their internet provider is slowing everyone else down. Talk to Bungie about how to handle that.

    5.) Make it easier to play Custom maps
    I have seen some crazy-fun maps from the online community that are great and should be found at the top. On the other hand, if I am friends with someone through battle.net, they should easily be able to find any custom map I upload and vice versa.

    Overall, it’s still a fantastic game and if Blizzard doesn’t address any of these, I am still going to play.

    Any other ways to make StarCraft 2 better? List them in the comments!

    Recap - 8.29.2010

    Quick note: as orber mentioned in a comment, I’m growing tired of these flame wars that take place within the comments of others who are actually talking about the match. While I’ve always preferred that FactPile polices itself, for this issue, I’ll simply eliminate any and all who participate on the site this way. This isn’t something I want to do, but if necessary, I will. – The Admin
