  1. thats a shame then.... 2km square still the largest then
  2. had probs at first. THen got used to holding the middle mouse button down to spin the camera. Was fine once muscles developed
  3. Wolfseven, its a hardcopy magazine and I just checked the link works for me. THe link is just to the issue guide... here is what it says:::::::: Chat Tony Zurovec, the man behind the Crusader series, talks to Alexander Gambotto-Burke about all things Origin. X-Ray Silicon photonics - does that have something to do with cameras? No, not at all silly. Ashton Mills takes a look at the next generation of CPUs. Hardcore reviews MSI P6N SLI Platinum MSI 8500GT, 8600GT/S OC XFX 680i LT SLI ASUS G2P Sapphire X1950 Pro Dual Corsair Dominator 10K OCZ PC2-8500 SLI Edition ASUS 8800 GTX AquaTank ASUS M2A-VM Game reviews Command & Conquer 3 Theatre of War Culture Shock reviews The Science of Sleep The Intruders Exiled Hellsing Ultimate
  4. one thing they say in the review is that like other games the tank rush is the ultimate tactic. I do not agree with that esp if the enemy has at or tanks themselves. A tank charge ends in failure
  5. i also play on vista HP with a 6800 nvidia. I would say its like squad assault, but squad assault had not nearly as much character or features, physics etc. The complexity, animation etc of TOW leaves squad assault in the dust not to mention most other games. THe physics calculations certainly are better than most games I have ever seen. THe damage model is much more complicated than Bang, your dead. And the interface!!! OMG the interface and RPG elements make you care for your soldiers and absorb what is happening as it is shown on your screen. or close combat Close Combat is a favorite of mine, but TOW with patches will ensure I don't pickup CC for a looong time. CC is better in some respects but had years to mature and the engine while pure genius in CC1 did not change much and the non-multiplayer challenge thus went away. Would not say it is like CM at all... BTW... I hated soldiers as it was unrealistic and completely railed.... like being lead around a mouse maze time and time again until you get the cheese and the next mission. Its heart was in the right place though and I wished it was TOW at the time!
  6. There is nothing better than captured weaponry being turned mwahahaha..... I only feel guilty not knowing how often it really did happen
  7. THe latest atomic magazine has a two page review of TOW. 7 out of 10 was awarded. They pretty much sum it up by saying its a good game, feels unfinished and has great potential with some patches http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/issue.asp
  8. i agree, must not be pointless slaughter... however the devs must have assumed that you would try again and again until you won
  9. I also wonder.... However infantry in their current form are almost useless if even one tank is around as their is no suitable cover.
  10. i believe cover is being increased for infantry in the patch by making the shrubs, trees and grass more opaque
  11. he does not own a MAC grimtooth, thats his work computer. He has a DELL
  12. I always did hold a gripe against Adobe .pdf documents for being so inflexable on anything but a full screen computer..... I want to be able to read the manual on my pocketPC without scrolling like a demon just to read one line. Adobe reflow command very rarely works with .pdf on a pda unless the composer of the doco is an expert
  13. excellent news.... I understand: a) 1st patch only fixes technical issues addon I hope incorporates the 2nd patch that fixes LOS and all of the other gameplay issues. Otherwise where does the second patch come in??
  14. molo that is cool, just noticed american tank crews bail with grease guns
  15. Just curious as to whether the AI has the sense to do so after running out of ammo
  16. tank crew certainly don't have thier mp40s
  17. i agree soddball.....with both your replies.
  18. so you were able to do 4km square and move units\deploy in those areas? THats awesome
  19. Russians in ww2 never ever rushed or charged with no regard for the life of their men..... rather they were so methodical and cautious as to scout thoroughly before moving.... lol
  20. I have an I have an AMD athlon 64 3200+ 2ghz (supposed to be close to a 3gig p4) 2gig ram nvidia 6800 512mb windows VISTA home premium I own the full game I own FRAPS (I get 10fps or lower on medium settings without EAX atm) have not had any lockups and am about to try ticking single CPU only EDIT: single CPU selected made no difference, average of 10fps or lower Let me know if I can be of assistance, I won't go into too much detail if this issue is already dealt with [ May 06, 2007, 03:29 AM: Message edited by: Destraex ]
