Thomm Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I am also curious! I tried all download servers from work, but none of the downloads would finish before I go home, so I shall try again next week. Until then, some info from gamers would be nice! Best regards, Thomm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mort Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Well, I was excited after trying the russian demo, but not so much now. I'm not going into details, but I don't think I'm going to buy for now. I don't quite know why, I just found it very hard work to play, and there are more than a few ai annoyances. I feel like I'm battling the UI, AI, and other stuff, rather than an enemy. There's been a ton of good releases lately most of which I've bought and enjoyed, but so far, this doesn't cut it for me. I'll watch with interest and continue to enjoy CM:SF and ToW.

himmelstoss Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 i like it so far (the demo). the new order screen will need a getting use to though, it seems a bit more cumbersome than tow1. will miss the ability to tell ur tanks to hit top, mid, or track section! also cant i fig out how to change the facing of the units and the retreat order gets the tanks change facing again as well, grrr. love the buildings and the smoke, man! more notes once i can buy it (when ever i will get my two1 key). immer voran, himmelstoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhunter Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 OK, this game have some potential. Like it on first glimp. First time i have also problems wih interface. But, suddenly find it. For facing direction, press D, for changing stance press right button on stance-button and choose another, same way for the ammo. BTW, read the keyboard setting and you will find it . This is game for me. Pre-ordering now. Love the sound of artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Super dummy here. I played the 1st one and could rotate 360 degrees on battlefield. But sweet Moses cannot figure how now. How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going from memory: was it press middle mouse button/mouse wheel? Someone correct me if I'm remembering wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks for the quick response. I've tried the mouse press and that is what I remember from the original but it will not do. I have a tiny laptop mice so maybe thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannwt49 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've enjoyed the demo so far, the sounds coming from the 105mm howitzers is awesome. Just took getting used to the new UI vs. the original UI commands. Keep getting my bloody sniper killed though scouting targets for the artillery, lol.

Arisaka99 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 It's quite impressive and the graphics aren't bad. I think I'll buy it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Retreat order tanks are always move backwards. To change the facing, press Defend order button and right-click at desired direction. If only one unit is selected, you can also just right-click and hold until "rotate" cursor appears, then release the right mouse button. You can also rotate the turret by selecting the turret gun with left-click first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Super dummy here. I played the 1st one and could rotate 360 degrees on battlefield. But sweet Moses cannot figure how now. How? By default, the camera in the game is set to RTS mode and it's movement is somewhat limited. Press and hold mouse wheel to rotate the view. You can change camera mode in camera settings, choose free mode and the camera will function like in TOW1. Press and hold mouse wheel to rotate the view.

crazyman56 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Well a few probs: 1. The UI could do with some refining as there are loads of buttons and in the demo i used less than half of them. 2. I had the graphics on the highest the would go but it still looked like like the original CMs and was a very low FPS so i dont know what the matter is there. 3. The squad selection is so slow and annoying. I want to move people not spend 10 secs trying to select them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handihoc Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I found the UI difficult to use. I was expecting a walk-through with the demo, but there's nothing, just orders which leave you to work out what to do. It certainly looks good but, as with ToW1, it's a bit fiddly and something about it just doesn't feel quite realistic enough. It hasn't made me want to abandon CMSF, and I think I'll probably pass on this one as a purchase and wait for CM2 Normandy for my next WW2 gaming experience.
