Still disapointed by the fact that the Game hasn't released... It's almost spring. It was advertised for the end of fall... Sooo... Yeah.
Besides that, it looks good. Can't wait for when they (Finally) release the game.
The Rebellion shall crumble and the DAF stands ready for any attack!
Sorry, Double post... I shall follow Paden's old advice...
Don't make the UF (United Forums) put sanctions on you two.
The Rebellion shall crumble and the DAF stands ready for any attack!
Don't worry Raptor, the Rebellion will be ready!
I do miss those days. They were so much fun!
So when this ne'er-do-well does eventually reveal himself, we ignore him and his nonsensical blabberings, correct?
@Something Real- Oh, yeah, might not change it for a while XD
I really like the art style. This is going to be a great game.
Also THE DAF SHALL NEVER PREVAIL, April will come soon, and we are prepared for any threats or surprise attacks, and The Rebellion shall fall!!! :P
Man, I REALLY miss those days, it was SO MUCH FUN.
RAPTOR-401 - Hahaha! Your new avatar is phenominal! :)
Well, as sad as it is to say, most likely. Happens in all fan bases. When something new comes out, whether a movie, book, video game, etc. people go angry all over some stupid trivial matter.
Examples include whether which movie/game is better than the other, which version of this charcter is better than the other, which final boss/ mian villain was cooler, the list goes on.
But I've been there, and done that, some more so than me. And although many have said offensive things to me in a personal way over miscellanous topics, I'll try my best to keep control and help the staff keep things in order.
As a matter of fact after I post this I am going back to Team Spino, I switched to Team Raptor because I thought it would be cool to show my appreciation for Velociraptors.
In the end I will just have been the Spino fan who loved this forum and enjoyed his time here writing spoof posts, a fight series, and some stories.
So I hope nothing bad happens but if, and well, when it does, I'll do my best to help the staff.

GOJIRA2K - I am prepared to defend my community with verbose and esoteric language! Let the malcontents come! ;)
No pathologies were described in Bonaparte 1985 in the cranial region, so i don't see any reason to think such.
what we have of C. sastrei is a reasonaby, an pretty darned well preserved single skeleton. what that does is give us a clear insight onto how it was shaped, how it moved, etc. We have more of carnotaurus then we do for a lot of other taxon, so i do believe what we have, and what has been put through the wringer via multiple scholarly articles, is quite solid.
I remeber that war. It was fun at the beginning, but interest for it dwindled. But back to the actual topic, I severely hope not, but there will always be one guy in the crowd who will stir up trouble. What I suggest, is that we prepare for the worst.
Carnosaur, while I was only pointing out Carnotaurus for my previous statements, I find that the Abelisaurs were not given fair representation. And yes, I realise that Carnotaurus may not have had the skull for such hunting. But with how little the Carnotaurus has examined, and the fact that we only have a single specimen that may have a skull/neck deformity that dosnt represent the whole species. As a fellow scientist that is far more informed than myself, you must realise that there is necessary room for such doubt.
as i have said time and time agin, i cant post links!!! which means i cant post sources. so please stop asking.
maybe different
I kinda hope that they looks and sounds like the one in the old game
hmm, i dunno why we would call R. primus 'weak' when we only have material from a juvenile animal. Seems a bit unbalanced, to me at least.
@Cryo, while i do agree some sources backing the info would be nice, i do believe the way you're going after TK seems a bit harsh.
anyway, let's take a look at your argument.
"As I already stated earlier, Rob Bakker has analyzed the carnotaurus and has concluded that it hunted sauropods. "
Bakker also suggested that C. sastrei was a small game specialist due to its jaw mechanics due to how kinetic its skull was (Mazetta 1998)
I've seen no recent literature regarding C. sastrei as a sauropod hunter. In fact, another member on a different forum said this about the supposed "sledgehammer" feeding mechanisms you seem to be alluding to. Here's what he has to say:
" I’ve got some doubts about the proposed "sledgehammer hypothesis".
When people use it (e.g. Bakker 1998), usually Allosaurus comes up as an analogy, but this is problematic, because they are actually very different in a number of features:
Firstly, Carnotaurus doesn’t have downturned paroccipital processes to enhance the ventroflexive ability of its head and neck as is the case in Allosaurus (Bakker 1998, Antón et al. 2003, Snively et al. 2007, 2013). Rather its paroccipital processes are directed laterally (Bonaparte 1990) as is the case with basal ceratosaurs. Naturally, that alone already implies major differences in muscle arrangement between the two (but there’s far more to it than that).
Secondly, the proportions of their skull. It is true neither of them has a particularly large head and both are deep-skulled, but the similarities end there. Compared toAllosaurus (Madsen 1976), the skull of Carnotaurus is completely differently proportioned, being almost as tall as it is long, having a much shorter rostrum and being proportionately wider. This is not a design that would be particularly suitable for relying on impact feeding as it reduces the velocity which can be reached at the toothrow.
Thirdly, their necks:
That of Allosaurus has been described as particularly flexible (Snively et al 2007, 2013), that of Carnotaurus was likely rather rigid due to tis very robust osteology (Méndez 2014). The supposed slashing and striking for Allosaurus is a motion that would require a fair degree of flexibility–this was even one of the key points of criticism brought forth against it (Antón et al. 2003).
That’s not everything though. The neck of Carnotaurus is a highly unusual structure with huge, dorsally tall epipophyses but tiny, atrophied neural spines.
So with all these differences I would highly doubt we can really compare them. There is more of course, for example the entire postcranium, but I’m focusing on the head and neck here.
Carnotaurus’ wide, robust neck, proportionately shorter and more brevirostrine skull, differences in basicranial muscle insertions and the large epipophyses suggest it held onto prey with its jaws, not that it slashed at it. It is plausible it did that in a very explosive motion of course, but I don’t think it was suited for dealing considerable damage with a powerful strike alone."
i'd say i have to wholely agree with him.
Given the fact that carnotaurus was probably a rather fast animal (Mazzetta 998) it's entirely plausible that it was a small to mid game specialist, but that's just my own hypothesis.
I believe it was April or May. (Didn't Delta come back for a couple days a few months ago?)
What SR said, plus we just lost interest in it.
It was called the Rebellion, not Delta's army. Without Delta, I'm in charge of the Rebelion.
TYRANT KING - Hahaha! That was an, um, interesting battle! I kept clear of it for the most part, but it actually started (from what I could tell) as bit of a "war game" between the DAF and Delta's battle forces. It became somewhat strained over time, however, much to my sadness for the involved parties. I really wanted them to have a good time at it, but there were a few participants whom chose to behave in an uncivil manner. Eventually, the DAF/Delta conflict simply burned out. I hope this helps to provide you with at least a small amount of insight. :)
the ticking off is going both ways but i will not argue.
Cryo, easy. You're coming off as a bit hostile. I see that TK is ticking you off, but just take it easy. Not everyone is expert. Some people do research and build their own opinions off that research.
The deciphering bit though, not cool.
I will edit this with a response once I decipher what you just said into unbreken english, so say an hour-hour and a half.
I do my research just like everyone else. Now all I said is that some abeliosaurids like ruogops and carnotaurus weren't adapted for fighting. Hunting is a different story.
How do you feel about all the other animals I have put into this thread? Or is that incorrect Too?
We do NOT need another big event where the forum splits into two sides- not really a war, but that's besides the point! I wasn't around for the Rex vs. Spino war, but the DAF vs. Delta's army was terrible. I agree with you Lord Vader, that there'll be that one biased I. rex fan nd the forum will spiral out of control again. We should hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
When were the Forum Wars? I joined a while ago but barley posted here and checked in like maybe...Once every few months? But let hope foir the best of the new stuff that will go down :)
I'm not mean, I'm a scientist who is just about in college for this exact field. I only speak in this manner because it is getting harder and harder to take the accuracy of your debates seriously.
It seems as if you calculate these debates off of your personal opinion more than actual scientific knowledge.
Call me mean for saying this if you will, but as a no-nosense and blunt person. I'm not going to sugar coat the reality of the situation at hand.
SILVER_FALCON - Hahaha! Oh, I love his nose ring! He has so much personality! Thank you for sharing this with us! :)
NOAH ECKECKENRODE - What an interesting question! Hmm...I have a feeling that the Baryonyx and Suchomimus will have some physical aspects that harken back to Spinosaurus! However, I am of the mind that they will have the look and "feel" of unique animals! :)
I actually like this idea and I hope they have REXY face off against the Indominus Rex. That would just make my life.
NOAH ECKECKENRODE - How very neat! I am extremely pleased that Rexy is going to be as strongly built and fearsome as she was in the first film! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! :)
