ChrisHb Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hi folks, I was thinking of buying this game but wanted to try the demo first. None of the links to it that I can find work anymore. Can anyone give me a link that still works? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hi Chris Try this one as it looks like it's still active: http://www.worthdownloading.com/download.php?gid=3568&id=17326 Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisHb Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I bought the game but had a problem running it. The demo worked fine but I had to run the purchased game as administrator in order to add the key - otherwise when I clicked on the icon nothing happened. This took me a while to work out. Fortunately I ticked the Video Acceleration option when playing the demo as the scrolling was poor - this made all the difference. I wouldn't have purchased the game without the improvement that gave. I found the click noise very irritating when clicking on units and especially when scrolling to the right of the screen when you can't avoid the buttons there which click when you move over them. I downloaded an empty .wav file which stopped this happening. With these minor annoyances sorted I'm ready to play what looks like a promising game!

Bert66 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just curious is Pacific theater superseded by the newer Global Conflict and its addons? Or do these games have a more in depth gaming experience in the Pacific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisHb Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I assume now that there is a pacific war scenario in Global Conflict? I didn't realise this - looks like I purchased the wrong game if that's the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy64 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 On it's own Global Conflict is a poor game as is Pacific Theater, but when you get the SC Assault on Democracy & Assault on Communism Bundle you get a very good game. A bit of a rip of really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisHb Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Why is it so much better with the bundle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy64 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 There's loads of improvements like different levels of Zoom & bigger maps, checkout the product page for more details. http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=317&Itemid=545 http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=311&Itemid=544 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisHb Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I assume there is a decent Pacific theatre scenario? Looks like I wasted my money and would have to pay a lot more to get all of these improvements. If I hadn't just bought the Pacific game I would have been happy to have purchased all of these. At the moment myself and Battlefront are both losing out Edited August 26, 2015 by ChrisHb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy64 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 No there isn't that many decent Pacific theater scenarios apart from the 1939 world at war scenario, which comes with Assault on Democracy. You could always ask Battlefront for a refund so you could buy SC-WWII Global Conflict & the Assault on Democracy & Assault on Communism Bundle. You never know until you ask.

ChrisHb Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks Roy. I only want a single scenario that covers the entire pacific war. If there is one that works better than Strategic Command Pacific Theater I would be happy to pay more than I have just done to obtain it - but only if I can get a refund for the game I just bought. At a glance it's quite confusing. The website says:- Strategic Command World War Two Global Conflict GOLD BUNDLE contains both the brand new expansion as well as the original SC WWII Global Conflict game. Is this all I would need to play the the 1939 world at war scenario at its best? I don't want to play a european war - just the pacific war.

roy64 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I agree, the website is very confusing. I brought SC-WWII Global Conflict & the Assault on Democracy & Assault on Communism Bundle which has all the improvements of the game. The 1939 world at war scenario is both the European war & the pacific war. The Pacific part of the scenario is the same as you get in Strategic Command Pacific Theater but better if I remember rightly. You just need to buy SC-WWII Global Conflict & Assault on Democracy, if you don't want to play a European war, but that's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill101 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi Chris The Pacific game you've bought is the only one that covers just the Pacific. It was released at the end of 2008, and the engine improvements referred to apply to games we've released since with enhanced features that weren't available at the time the Pacific game was released. So buying our later games would provide some enhancements, but without that purely Pacific experience. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
