I play both of them , but i see pepole compare 1.13 to god game, and i ask why:

from what i see the big diffrence was:
- more weapons (that is good but its not something so important cause there also a lot of weapon at ja2)
- the gears of putting stuff( this feature i really like)
- and the option to make supress fire so the poor enemy have less time to attack its next turn!

some one can give more things that 1.13 have that i didnt see

thanks for who answer.

It's basically the huge versatility of 1.13. Be it more choice of attachments or ammo allowing for different and more detailed playing styles, be it inventory/LBE or be it the versatility that every tiny bit is adjustable to your liking.
Not to mention new stuff that came with HAM, STOMP, NAS etc.
Multiplayer.

In this order :

1. You play JA2 vanilla and say "Not bad, not bad at all..."

2. You play JA:BiA and go "graphics upgrade, real camera movement, weird handling & bugs, no sector inventory... blah blah blah" (*all criticisms go here*)

3. You play v1.13 and you cry. 14 years after being published, JA2 has risen to a whole new level of intricacy, complexity & richness, all thanks to a MOD community (mostly present here btw), which JA:BiA has managed to completely ignore. Totally mind-boggling & frustrating, to not have the features thought of and developped by this community in what is supposed to be an upgrade of the original game. It's not an upgrade, or a sequel, it's just a port to a 3D engine. Quite disappointing.

4. You can also use v1.13 to play the other Mods this site links to. Try them. Btw, Lafayohades is developping new screen resolutions for JA2 : http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=298698#Post298698 if you want more grfx goodness

That is already done and integrated in the development source trunk. Wait for the next SCI and try out more than 20 different resolutions Smile

From what I can see, the biggest changes from "vanilla" to v1.13 are "under the hood", in the sense that it allows far more flexibility and freedom for all sorts of other mods in the future. The visible in-game improvements are just starting.

The biggest difference between the two is that once you play vanilla, you can play 1.13, but once you play 1.13, you will find it impossible to enjoy vanilla the same way. Wink
