    WEGO now an afterthought.. why?

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Youve gone from something unique to just another RTS, granted, one with a lot of polish on the detail and accuracy front, but still yet another RTS
    Name one RTS you know where you can actually play for an hour plus totally riveted to the game and not overwhelmed in a click fest.

    I find the long duration RT aspect of the game to be very refreshing and not the lest bit hackneyed.

    Some CMx1 things I miss

    --Transparent roofs/walls for occupied buildings!
    Yes. I find navigating the beautifully rendered city scapes very complicated--- especially in real-time, which is most certainly how I play now smile.gif

    Detailed armour pen. would be nice to have back.

    Also, one thing that confuses me- why don't the Stryker squads automatically carry their Javelins? I read in the manual that this is due to the Javelins being a part of the Styker as opposed to the squad in the Stryker-- and of course this gives lots flexibility since you can equip whatever unit you want with the Javelins, but its a pain to go through every unit at deployment and equip them. It's even worse when reserves arrive in real time, and you have to go through and add the missiles to every team (and since I play on elite, you can't do it while the game is paused... or can you? The manual said you can't issue orders on elite when paused...).

    I would propose something like an "equip with javelins" button, or something, which in one click gives the unit under question the Javs and all the Jav missiles. This would be faster then the acquire/Jav, acquire/Jav missiles x3 system as it stands now.

    My main qualm as it stands however remains not having any way to see all the movement/targeting lines. Modifiable way points is a part of that as well-- how many players went to move their waypoints and ended up ordering their guys to fast run into enemy machineguns? smile.gif

    Matt and Steve-- great game for sure. I feel like I'm just scratching the surface and I know they're going to be some amazing stuff to come.

    One last question though--- are they're reload sounds in the game? I couldn't hear them when I as hovering over the Abrams, but I read earlier that they were in.

    They are efficient. This multi-click on buttons somewhere else on the screen is ugly and requires extra work. Poor decision to change that.
    Learn the hotkeys! I agree, I miss the right click/menu, but the hotkeys are a good (and fast) alternative. Does make for a bit of a learning curve though.

    Those look absolutely ****ing amazing!

    Holy ****! This game looks amazing. I was doubtful, but BFC pulled it off again.

    Having said that, it may well be a placeholder, I know that Matt is still working on a number of sound FX
    How many live fires did you guys do? What did you do for the higher caliber artillery and aerial attacks?
