I think scottie is talking about a non-Visa debit card. I couldn't use my Switch Debit card, so I had to make nice to the wife and use her Visa! Presumably you can create a PayPal account, and transfer your money into that to pay, so not having a Visa card shouldn't mean no game.

Well, you seem to have answered that yourself - someone who isn't hardcore but isn't a casual gamer either. That's quiet a big market I'd guess. Or maybe it can appeal across all sorts of markets. I enjoyed CM (and still do), but I also like ToW an awful lot too. I've also dabbled in RTS games, but they're really not my bag. I think it depends how you approach this game - I find it fun because of what it is, I don't get upset because of what it isn't or what it was never trying to be. But hey, that's just me.

Yeah I had that happen too, on the same mission - although in my case it was just the one gun that did it. It was right at the start of the mission that what you described happened, so I restarted it and it didn't happen again. It might have something to do with the proximity of the gun to the sandbags maybe? Another animation error I had was a lone American solider who 'lost' his animation completely, and was represented as standing for the rest of the battle, regardless of what he was ordered to do - he did move slowly when told to crawl, but remained standing bolt upright as he slid across the terrain. Most unnerving. This was 3 missions into the Allied campaign. Other than those minor issues, I've not had any other graphical weirdness whilst playing this fun game!

Yep. I like it too, for what it's worth. I like it for what it is, rather than hating it for what it isn't. A fine line, to be sure!

Hey, I thought this was the Rating thread, not the Ranting thread! G 17 S 14 U 17 P 17 O 17 Total = 82 For what it's worth, I'm enjoying this game more than I thought I would - it needs some tweaks here and there, and needs some getting used to as well - it's not supposed to be CM and it's not trying to be COH - I think it's cornered a nice niche of its own, and I look forward to exploring more of it. Well done all round I'd say.

If a tree gets knocked down in a wood, and there's no one there to see it, does it sink into the ground? Eh-hem. I'll get my coat...

Well, I had some fun trying to 'secretly' download this at work, realised that waiting there until 8pm and then copying it to DVD before travelling home was a stupid idea, and so came home. Had a small scare with the eLicense thingy telling me my key was invalid, but it turns out I'm just rubbish at copy and paste. Had some more issues with Zone Alarm, but the handy FAQ sorted that out. I've got 2 hours to wait before the download finishes. Just enough time to cook the missus a nice dinner before I disappear off for the rest of the night with my new toy. Yay!

Hello all - long time lurker etc etc etc. Well, I'm impressed with the demo, I am enjoying it immensely and it has whetted my appetite for the main game no end. As for the above 'review' - you just can't please some people, eh? Well done to all involved in this game.
