PanzerShark Posted October 10, 1999 Share Posted October 10, 1999 Just wondering what games (besides CM) you people are waiting for. Here are my 5 picks: (in no particular order btw) 1)Team Fortress 2 2)Ultima Online 2 3)Starlancer 4)Force Commander 5)Obi Wan (dark forces part3) Also my top 5 picks i'm playing a lot right now: (and once again no particular order) 1)Everquest 2)Starsiege Tribes 3)NetPanzer 4)Jane's F15 5)Operational Art of War As you can see, most of them are old or still far far away. That's why i can't live much longer without the CM-demo AAAAAAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted October 10, 1999 Share Posted October 10, 1999 One question, what's NetPanzer? Sounds like something I'd like.. Well, just recently I started a Battletech PBEM (used to GM a big PBEM set in the Aliens universe with over 50 players for 2 years (mostly as a lone GM but I had a little help for a while with my platoon) ) and am playing as the Magistracy of Canopus (all the proper IS houses were taken ),, The nice thing about being a periphery cast-off is that I get to design my own mechs.. Say hi to my 3 MLAS Hermes (walk 9, run 14), my 6 MLAS Assasin ( walk 6, run 9).. Those are my recon elements.. My Assault mech is an Atlas with 18 MLAS and enough heatsinks to keep firing forever. My heavy support has 4 LRM 15s with 6 tons of ammo and 6 MLAS and 3 SLAS (infantry etc)... We're playing off a 3025 tech base and I'm roleplaying the MOC's shortage of technicians by outfitting most mechs with ONLY energy weapons and using ONLY LRM 15s as my LRMs.. Top Pick I'm playing right now is Combat Mission (obviously). Second would be Armies of Armaggedon... I've just lost the second battle in the campaign 5 times in a row ... The AI is quite capable of beating a human player (and wins more often than I do) and I'll probably be reviewing it for TGN pretty soon. Third game: Umm the StarFleet Command demo. It looks a good game but I've been so busy I've had no chance to get it. Actually apart from those three I don't think I've played anything else in the past 6 or 7 weeks. What am I waiting for? Well, the full version of Combat Mission . I can't wait to really get the CombatHQ at TGN chugging away churning out information and other stuff for Combat Mission and that can only move into full gear once CM is released. Umm, that's about the extent of my "awaiting release" list actually ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerShark Posted October 10, 1999 Author Share Posted October 10, 1999 Fionn, NetPanzer is a game (can't say what type...it's the banned-from this-site-word ) where you control Panzers (doh). It's still beta, but i think it's actually very funny and refreshing compared to the other "b.f.t.s.-games". It's also a free download check it out here: http://www.pyrosoftgames.com Take Care PanzerShark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lokesa Posted October 10, 1999 Share Posted October 10, 1999 I'm only waiting for Combat Mission. I am however interested to see how CC4 comes out. Basically only playing 2 games right now, Chain of Command and Heroes of Might and Magic 3. BTW does anyone have a line on games similar to the old x-com games? Someone got me soldiers at war which has a decent tactical engine but is lacking in the roleplay area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulieG Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 The games I'm most looking forward to are: 1. Pharoah - It might be too similar to the Caesar series, but it may be different enouhg and have enough updates to warrent a purchase. 2. Reach for the Stars - I long for a really cool space game. I liked the idea of 10th Planet, but after what, 4 years, and now no word of the game on Bethsoft's website, I guess forget it. 3. USAF - I would like to try a flying game, but I don't want to change my lifestyle. Some of these games look too detailed for fun (Falcon 4, Fly! etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerShark Posted October 11, 1999 Author Share Posted October 11, 1999 Lokesa, a game very similar is "Chaos Gate", i even believe it uses the same engine as "Soldiers at War". But i like the way experience is handled in CG better. Ofcourse "Jagged Alliance 2" is a bit x-com-like, but somehow i never really got into that serie. After reading these posts i suddenly realize there are more games i'm looking forward to. Shogun being one of them. So if the demo won't be availible for some weeks i might start a new thread: "The 1000 games i'm waiting for" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 Well I'm waiting for Combat Mission Gran Turismo 2 on the Playstation NBA Live 2000 (pc and playstation) Le Man 24 hour (pc and playstation) Team Fortress 2 and of course -----> Playstation 2 - what a beast! Notice CM is the only wargame I'm waiting for Because every wargame coming out now and the near future is old hat, boring and a been-there-done-that.

Brian Rock Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 Waiting for: 1) CM (this is a surprise to all I'm sure) 2) Armies of Armaggedon:WDK 3) Driver 4) Rising Sun 5) Surprisingly little else Actually, I'll probably add Theme Park II to the "waiting for" list, depending on how it turns out. TPI didn't quite work for me, but RollerCoaster Tycoon was a blast for quite a long time, and TPII is looking good on screenshots. I'd also add Road to Moscow if I thought it would ever get finished. Playing: 1) Starfleet Command 2) Colin McRae's Rally 3) EverQuest 4) East Front II 5) CC2 (esp with the east front hack) I've only been fiddling with the last two as WWII fill-ins until CM comes out. Kind of like methadone for wargamers, only less satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwcanuck Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 Top games I am waiting for are of course number one Combat Mission. Others that I have some interest in, but need to play the demos before even thinking about getting them are: Close Combat 4 Panzer Elite Steel Panthers 4 and the latest one, Sudden Strike! Check out the screenshots of this real-time WW2 strategy war game: http://www.cdv.de/ The only game I am playing now is Close Combat 3 with the Real Red realistic player modification.

dano6 Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 Here are the games that I am anxiously awaiting. 1. CM(of course, pre-ordered months ago) 2. Panzer Elite 3. CC4-have to wait and see if it is crap like CC3 4. Maybe Sudden Strike. Will have to see how the demo plays and the realism involved. 5. Steel Panther 4 if it ever gets going Playing: 1. CC2 Multi-player with damn yanks mod.(only once in a while though, hard to find anyone who just wants to play for fun. Cases ladder bored me years ago when BLACKHOUND and QUANG were #1 and I was #10 never could get into single digits) 2. Nothing Else just biding my time until something comes out. But I am keeping very busy writing. dano6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darstand Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 Games I am waiting for, in no particular order. Reach for the Stars {it has been along time since a decent 4x game has come out} Neverwinter Nights {though I honestly don't think I am going to have time for this game} Warcraft 3 Wish lists are funny things though, at the beginning of this year I was waiting for Homeworld Star Fleet Command However I did not get them and bought Star Wars: Racer a game I though was going to be stupid. What I am playing now 1) Star Wars: Racer {a surprisingly fun and addictive game, the whole family likes this one} 2) Delta Force (occasionally) 3) Chain of Command (rarely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocal Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 Waiting for: Close Combat IV Team Fortress II: Brotherhood of Arms Homeworld Shogun: Total War Playing: Chain of Command Close Combat Series ------------------ "Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver.

Moon Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 The one game I am waiting for, besides CM of course, is actually "Armies of Armageddon: Wargamer Development Kit". It's supposed to ship real soon and since I was a little involved in the beta, I am looking forward to this one a lot. It's a real development kit, hell - you can even make your own WWII game. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted October 11, 1999 Share Posted October 11, 1999 Waiting for: Combat Mission (whatta surprise) Playing: Jagged Alliance (the first one) I bought it Saturday for 3 dollars at Software Etc.
