It's true. Chess sucked.

You just found out that Chess isnt back?

Well u never stop complaining so w/e and yes jeditommy chess isnt going to b in armmageddon, apparantely it was a decpetion exclusive

I know Chess isnt back,we've all known this since E3.

Sadly. Motor Kombat is as unoriginal as a reality show. We have tons of similar games...
at least Chess Combat was based on Archon.

wtf is Archon?
i thaught it was based on chess

A computer game published by EA in their heyday.

Archon is a chess-derivate game made in 1991, so far it has the most complex battle system developed for a chess. The idea was that when you strike down an opponents piece, you have to fight it....
essenitally it is still chess and MK Chess Kombat, and alot more since the release of the successor of Archon, Dark Legions...

I thought the powercells messed up the game.
It always ended up being a battle for those, then if someone had both, the other was oftentimes screwed.

I have posted topics on this issue before. I am very upset that chess kombat did not make it into MKA. This would have been a great addition to MKA, because with all of the new characters, plus the new created characters, the possibilities for teams would have been endless. In my opinon chess kombat was one of the best parts of MKD, and it is sad it did not make it into MKA.
