    Are newer game releases dumbed down? Is it now all about graphics and no gameplay

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    I can never tell if these kind of posts are serious. >_>

    I've found myself playing CM more recently, but this is more because my computer has degraded to the point where it can't play good games (whereas when I bought it, not too long ago, it could play them all perfectly). I played The Sims 2 since its release (don't laugh tongue.gif ), and found it more enjoyable than most other games I've played, mostly due to the freeform elements. It's the same with Grand Theft Auto (again, don't laugh) - I'd happily sit playing GTAIII and GTAIII only for about a month's worth of gaming time.

    The most recent release I've played is Half-Life 2, which I enjoyed to a certain extent, but it didn't captivate me in the same way as games like CM or TS2. I still enjoy playing CS with my friends on a LAN, but I am beginning to become bored with straight FPSs. Call of Duty 2 looks good simply because the AI is actually vaguely intelligent (although based on the demo, it is still unbelievably easy).

    I've successfully managed to completely ignore console gaming for a quite a while now, and I'm beginning to do the same to certain genres of PC games. There are still good games being released, however, that have both good graphics and good/innovative gameplay - although I do agree that my favourite games tend to have worst graphics.

    Now that is an excellent idea. Would that be possible?

    Don't joke about that. I feel terrible when my troops are unnecessarily cut down by enemy MG fire, even if they are virtual ones. Regardless of the fact that CM is a game, it is a game that resembles real life, and can still affect us (me?) in the same way. :mad:

    Trenches in wheatfield cheat

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    I noticed that if your opponent places trenches in a wheatfield, you can tell where they are even when you don't have LOS by where there are no grain doodads.

    Useful? Being able to tell where the enemy's trenches are usually means being able to tell where you can find some enemies. >_>

    In this picture...well, in front of the building there's a line with no grain (long Junk2Drive grass, in this case) doodads. I later found trenches following this line.
