BiA historically accurate? Well maybe if you compare it to Star Wars. Tried the first game and it was a total stinker imo.

If your health is depleted you can always pick up a healthpack. Speaking of packs, can't wait to pick up a quad-damage pack with a faust unit = total imbaness.

*tap* *tap* *tap* Hello?

I almost overslept today and I had the most terrific chicken sandwich for lunch.

What the hell are we making turrets for the Stryker? Think I'm gonna check out that Kongsberg site so I know what evul things the peaceloving kingdom of Norway is up to.

Guess you will post some pics from your vacation when you get back Have fun and thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Heheh I was thinking the same.. usually it is the same in my experience.

Thanks a lot!

What about that fastboat sim you guys were doing, what's the status on that? Edit: Bah sorry.. that was another Russian dev.. Akella i guess *blush*

Hi mum !

Definitely a Brummbar. Shame on Moon. </font>

That was my opinion exactly as well. Edit to add: I can't honestly understand why game designers do that, add lazers, tesla guns and cowbells (well more cowbell is always good). If the game is good the average idiot will play it anyway. If the units and weapons are realistic you'll expand your customer base to people such as ourselves too. Take CM eg. not many would think a game with such realism would seduce the average gamer, but it did. It even made a lot of people interested in WWII. I know because a lot of people joined our community interested to learn more. That's my gripe about Total War too. They're dumbing it more and more down for each sequel. I understand there's something called playability and fun, but please "screeching head hurling morale killing women?" Missile units with more pyrotechnics than the bombing of Dresden? Platoons of Olympic gold medal runners? I think they're doing a huge mistake because they're loosing their original fanbase (which made it to what it is today). I've even heard average players saying "Total War is great and it's how they fought in those days". Historical credibility is a selling point not the opposite. Oh well there's always Total War Realism... [ August 12, 2006, 05:45 AM: Message edited by: howardb ]

That's actually one of the best Mac-bashings I've ever heard. I'm gonna remember it for future reference

Funnay

Good point

I don't hate them RTS games, I just don't play them. Well I seldom do anyway.

OMG can't believe I've missed that one. Thanks for pulling me out of the dark ages

You're not a vodka grog are you

Why do you think the original project got delayed so many times? They're currently tweaking the prosecution-ai for the war-trial module.

Someone might have asked this question but I can't remember reading about it anywhere. Can you order a tank to go hull down against a specific area/vehicle like you can in CM?

Unless they call the game World of Warcraft or something.

It's confirmed that they're pre-rendered into the maps. Who knows what the future brings. Defense isn't the same without foxholes though.
