ZPB II Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) But I play CM because it doesn't look and play like an arcade video game. (Eugen games are fun distractions but have very little to do with realism. Felt like playing World In Conflict with more work and less fun.)

Bufo Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) I knew this was coming. Looks and play has nothing to do with each other. I was talking about what it should look like, not what it should play like. Edited December 18, 2021 by Bufo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPB II Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) In my opinion, in an animated visual, the motion and behavior of the objects is as intrinsic part of the whole as the vertices, textures and shaders. Regardless, the lighting and the explosions are too arcade for my personal taste. I want my war to look drab and bleak! IMO this would look so much better if it had slightly less plastic sheen and the explosions were high explosive detonations instead of low explosive deflagrations.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Very pretty.....I'd have no issues with CM looking like that, but only if there was no cost to the gameplay (which I suspect there would be). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hints that it possibly could be 3d. Gameplay of the first Armored Brigade combined with 3d would be a bombshell.

Bufo Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Of course I saw it! Just the trailer of this one was very fancy with that start. The two will be direct competitors, I am looking forward to both. But I have the feeling that BA will be better. @dbsapp Edited December 19, 2021 by Bufo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not so sure in that, in Wargame Red Dragon (predecessor of Warno) I have 3000 multi battles played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, ok. *Flies away* I tried it and it it seemed too fast paced for me and too arkadish, like command and conquer games, which is not necessary a bad thing of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very far away from a Command and Conquer game. If we look at them, I would say it is as far away from it as it is far away from CM. Anyway, the 10v10 tactical battles are very fun. In these low point battles you only control a few units, and it is easy to micromanage them - yet because of having 10 people on each side you have a nice battle going on and the battlespace is not empty. You also feel like you are part of something and your actions matter. Anyway, although it is arcadish, all weapons and weapon systems have the same task as in real life.

Bud Backer Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I have Wargame Air-Land Battle. Visually its a lovely game but I was very disappointed when I discovered that there is no FoW in these games from the AI's perspective. You cannot conduct a real ambush and surprise the enemy, they "know" where all your units are. A few battles and doing some research online to try to see if what I was experiencing was misinterpreted by me but no, I had it confirmed from several sources. What a pity. But to the OP's point - it would be nice to have visuals in CM like there are in the Wargame series. I'm not unhappy with them as they are and I get swept up in the evolution of the battles I play (hence why I make AARs) so immersion for me is not quite as disrupted as it may be for others.
