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.

Thanks a lot!Originally posted by Megakill:All guns now have realistic ranges (several kilomiters for tanks, etc). We have tested this and it works ok.

That was my opinion exactly as well.Originally posted by pad152:Silent Storm was ok until the mech and lazer guns showed up, that just killed it for me
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...

That's actually one of the best Mac-bashings I've ever heard. I'm gonna remember it for future referenceOriginally posted by RMC:Search. But since you're a bigweez, I'll just tell you straight. Congress has passed a law the limits the total number of Mac games on the market to 10 at any given time. When one is retired another can take its place. So right now there is no Mac version. Maybe in 2009.

Why do you think the original project got delayed so many times? They're currently tweaking the prosecution-ai for the war-trial module.Originally posted by Steiner14:Without witnesses, a war-trial was the consequence.

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.Originally posted by TuuSaR:No company is going to let unknown person beta test some important game.

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.
