it is a transparent whirlpool because it "spins" the ground. in other words, it has no color but color of the ground itself and at its center was a blackhole that emits a Tesla-like weapon.

XComet-- I dont think Retaliation came out on PC (could be wrong tho)

I do know it came out for original Playstation and was basically RA Counterstrike and Aftermath packed into a single game..

If youve played both Counterstrike and Aftermath, then you've played Retaliation..

Expect that Retaliation had remixed soundtracks.

I think there were 7 tracks (out of about 16) on Retaliation that never appeared on any PC version, and they werent remixes - I have them somewheres, I ripped all the movies and sounds from the PSX disk to use in a mod but never got round to it.

I planned on doing so, as theres a General Carville briefing on the Ants missions from Retaliation that was never used on the PC version so I ripped that too

BTW the Chronal Vortex wasnt an animation, it was a hardcoded DirectX visual thing that just 'warped' the map as it passed across it, like a whilrpool.

[xcomet]

then, how it can work in RA2? the DirectX visual thing that is hardcoded? is RA2 have the capability to do that?? thanx!!!

That effect is just like YR mission 1 timewarp.
