Notes

[edit]

Hello, this is the second Article i created. Again its about a game which wasnt one of the highest selling games ever but i believe every game should get its own Article. This one was released in the USA and Europe, and for 2 Gameconsoles. Its also a part of the lately famous Alien Vs Predator Universe. I have never played this game, i just read reviews and in gamelists i saw that it doesnt have an own article. I hope it will be good when i think the article is okay. I just starded it and want to add sections for the gameplay, references and the reception Greets gbk GBK2010 (talk) 17:43, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some major changes to article

[edit]

I went ahead and added an entire plot section and rewrote the gameplay section to be more inline with how I've seen other articles handle those sections. Lede was missing some detail, but will probably need to be rewritten again once even more detail is added to the article. I added some detail to the infobox and peppered citations through the article so there would be fewer uncited sections, though the plot and setting sections were left uncited since I haven't had a chance to find sources for them. I plan on tackling the Reception section to add more detail from the reviews, since there's actually quite a bit of detail in the referenced reviews that could make for a sizable entry. It is a little difficult to find details like development history, since the company that made the game is very small scale and didn't really have a big marketing push (unsurprisingly). I want to see if I can find anything at all, since I'm pretty sure this game is one of the first console RTS games to utilize the control scheme it had (which a similar one would later be used in Halo Wars). If there does exist any information about this, it would be super interesting to include in this article. seadoubleyoujay [海倍君ジェイ] [t] 21:33, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 01:41, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
