    very disappointed - RTS yuck

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    the reason why so many ppl are mad (i think) is that we had hope in this game, and we waited for months or years holding on because we had been given Hope, hope for a good game, a game in the style of close combat. and when you give ppl hope, to finally let them down... then that is IMO one of the most cruel things to do [/QB]

    Exactly, that and being told constantly before the demo came out that we should wait and see and when ppl "complained" about eg not being able to enter buildings, they were always told that wait and see and what a great game it will be nonetheless......

    Well I have seen it now and I still don't like it, but at least I have paid 45 bucks for it. Mission accomplished for BF :mad:

    I even liked that "Squad Leader" computer game from years ago better .... :(

    And that was pretty bad by any standard .....

    Sorry for the rant.....

    I've been playing sim and strat games all my life and i must say this game is hard to like. I was hoping this game would beat the likes of COH but thus far this game is how can i put it? outdated, ok the grafix are ok but the game play is lacking in terms of control or any feeling of real command is just not there. The infintry always seem to be out in the open no place to hide and their AI is bad it's like taking lambs to the slauter. The multiplayer option is so dated ie ip only..and how the hell does one logon to MP lobby.

    I've been watching this game for years and i must say my bubbles been burst. Of course I will continue to play it and i hope it will grow on me

    but i doubt it. I guess 1C should stick to what the are best at and thats flight sims which Il2 series are by far the best sims ever. I guess this game came 10 years too late. I know i will be flamed for these comments but this is one mans view point so far, maybe if i can ever play in multiplay then maybe my view will change alittle.

    Exactly my feelings towards this game - it just has no immersion for me, everything feels more artificial and severely limited than the more crude looking CMBB/CMAK.

    Sorry I wasted $45 on this.....

    Walkthrough at Tweaktown Gamer

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    Great Review/walkthrough !

    Few questions though :

    - Talk about a squad, but only 4 men are there - I hope this is only for simplyfication in tutorial and real russian squads are 12 men ?

    - They capture a german MG 34 - but there is also the russian Maxim in the game right ?

    - Snipers against AT gun - could the AT crewmen also ordered to abandon the gun and fire with small arms on sniper instead of rotating gun and trying to fire with it ?

    Sorry for being curious ..

    Why waste the gamers enthusiasm !

    Spare me the “when its ready” or a link to some 1-2 month old post. I have a full time job and family just as all of you and I can find the time to post a few words on forums., and I don’t stand to gain a monetary value to do so.

    How is it that a developer is to busy to post on their own fan forum,

    get serious :rolleyes:

    Its like running a retail store and putting a new product in a display window , but when the consumer comes into the store to inquire about the item, you proceed to either ignore them entirely or just silently point to a poster stating

    “ WHEN ITS READY “

    That is just so true ..... no small wonder the grown up wargamer gives up on this bull**** and rightly so ! What a waste of opportunities ..... :(

    Demo of (direct?) competitor "Officers" out

    I just can't stand it, when the publisher or someone ALWAYS talk about realistic WWII game and realism this and hundreds of vehicles/weapons types that etc - THAT is just plain wrong - these games may be many things, but realistic is not one of them - not even close ......

    Wolf, I totally agree with you! All of the recent WWII games are ****! This is why I have real faith for TOW, or should I say BFC, or WTC. One of the biggest problems these games have is the CAMERA work...they really suck. Every one of these recent games all seem SO ARCADY. I mean...build a supply dump in less than a minute or flags ALL OVER THE PLACE. Just make someting that is as realistic as possible...is that TOO much to ask for? I mean com'on...all this wasted money and time for JUNK! Well, here's hoping.

    Yes, the Camera work in this stinkers is always especially awful and why don't they leave WW II alone with their base building crap - Dune and Command&Conquer with their setting were great games and the science fiction setting is suited for this kind of games, but not WW II.

    After some changes are implemented from BF, TOW could be better, but I believe it, when I played it ....

    Ewwww, I feel icky! It's ****, it's incredibly ****. What is **** about it? Damn near everything!

    Exactly - and worst of all, the voices and what they are saying is soo crappy and dumb ( I also can understand the german voices ), you gotta hear to believe - what were those developers thinking ?

    I cannot imagine that anyone could buy and play such an awful game and not feel betrayed ......

    Unbelievable ...... developing this turds cost money, how could you possible get money out of this ??

    I just can't stop ranting, cause ALL the recent WWII games are so bad ......

    105mm againist t-34s?

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    I have used 105 mm FO´s with good effect against bunched up tanks in CMAK and CMBB. That is, if you acknowledge that the effect is not a kill of the tank, but immobilization, gun damage, TC kills, etc ... much easier to deal with those crippled tanks.

    Especially useful in Operations, causing total loss for the next battle.......
