Civil War thoughts and impressions!

[Trollwart]

It's got some interesting stuff, I dig the slo-mo fight, much better than a plain countdown and conceptually its kind of cool. Not the greatest, though...a bit dull and just kind of ugly.

[Rafie]

Wow so much hate for this table. I actually dig it. I guess to each his/her own!

[caper_26]

It's weird, as I've only seen the right ramp, right orbit, and left orbit Gain Ally light's lit, I've never seen the other's lit.

I am talking about the "Super combo" method...

Oh lmao gotcha

Find it a very timid table. Nothing stands out to give it that one more go feeling.

I see where they got that Stanford Multiball idea from. On the pinball table Judge Dredd, there are two game modes. One is regular and the other is Super Game. Super Game starts each ball with a 2-ball multiball mission. Once you lose one of the balls, it goes back to regular game mode. It does this for each ball and there are a total of 4 Super Game missions in all.

You can see for yourself. Take notice of the reporter on the DMD explaining the situation of the mission (00:30 mark). Doesn't it look oddly familiar?

Wow! Good find, Shogun. I never noticed that. Well we get our inspiration from a lot of things. To my knowledge, that feature that begins with the 2-ball multiball hasn't been used since the Judge Dredd table. Nice of Zen to bring it back!

Re:

Registered just to post in this thread. Disclaimer: I'm far from a pinball wiz... in fact, I sorta suck. Highest score I've ever gotten was 120mil... yep. But I've been playing MP/ZP2 since they first came out, and love nearly all the tables.

Gotta say, though, this table is HARD. For one thing, the ball going over the bumpers gives it a much faster pace. And I find the ball getting drained on the right side pretty often. I know you can nudge the table, but I still haven't gotten used to ZP2's controls - I still find myself shaking my controller, with nothing happening

Is there a way to change that? I should probably look into it...

Some neat aspects to the table - the multiball prologue (which I kept skipping by accident until I read about it online...), choosing sides, getting heroes, etc. etc. Generally, though, I just find the table to be a little bland. That's mostly due to the subject - Civil War was a story, and didn't have such a cohesive theme like Infinity Gauntlet. So it just looks like a lot of sleek metal and whatnot... again, a little boring, and a little similar to Avengers.

And then there's the colors. I've a problem keeping track of the ball on some tables because of too much artwork, but this one is the worst. TOO MUCH RED!! I lose track of it all the time, and it gets even worse when it goes into 'alert' mode and it gets even MORE red...

Or maybe I just need to try a new camera angle (I generally use angle 2, I like to see the whole table)...

In any case, I think this table was definitely designed for the hardcore fans who have been playing for a long time now.

[s-carnegie]

Yes you can change the controls. I use right stick to nudge, gets the ball back to the inlanes much easier than shaking the controller itself. Great for bangbacks too.

Trillion?

anyone else notice the 1.5 TRILLION on CW ??? wtf? I can't even break 1B....

Grinded the right sinkhole for 48 hours, I presume...

I tried that. It isn't that easy to hit consistently everytime... when you do miss, the ball goes crazy. I am doubting that was the strategy. Just my stinkin opinion

PS: Are there only 3 extra balls on this table ?

Wow that is a skill in itself.. endurance

[hunter328]

I saw that huge score too, congrats. I'm sure it's legit but if this can be duplicated people will be getting crazy scores: On Samford MB I've gotten a ball stuck in the bumpers, just setting one off forever with the points endlessly racking up. I had the other ball held and just watched with my jaw on the floor. It was obvious it was a glitch, especially after a couple minutes, so I quit the game, but I'd bet I could have freed the ball with my capture one after a week or so and broken Zen's server with a number too large to compute.
I'm not saying anyone would do this and keep the score, what's the point in that, I'm just putting out there that it's possible.

cheezy sink hole trick exploit

Since this is the cheezy quick score part of the table -about then 4.5M per shot- this table keeps me away from playing it in the regular way. Why bother topping such kind of players (Don't blame them either since it's a design issue.) Scoring the cheezy way is too boring so for me the table is not interesting at all. Allthough is its a potentional lovely table.

I bet the guy with the top score of 1.5 kazillion made some kind of a LEGO technic system construction to trigger the flippers

Back to Mars, El Dorado, Hulky and the Lair!
