war2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I read on one of the threads that CMX2 will be at least as good if not better graphically than Wartime Command. Here is an index of pics for WC, they look quite good: WC pics Notice the water in this pic: WC Water Pic Is Battlefront planning to make the water this realistic ?? If so, it will be a nice game graphically !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Wartime Command is vaporware. even if it does hit the stores someday the graphics engine will no longer be cutting edge by what is it they are saying 06 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Rommel Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 If it is ever released I'll buy it anyway.It looks and sound like it should be a good game. And graphics dont have to be cutting edge to have a good game.Just look at the Combat Mission Series.The graphics are way outdated compared to what is out there now but it is still one of the best wargames made.

Redwolf Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 BTW, the water as shown in the second screenshot is not really WC's "work". It is what the hardware of newer graphcs cards has built in and you get for free if you are willing to draw the textures on the river floor and have the card draw a lot of texture passes. To the best of my memory, WC was a games entirely designed about level of detail, that means that the foreground, the thing you currently concentrate on, is draw in the very fine detail, and the rest is not. CM does do that, if the Panther has 25 textures when you stand next to it, it also has 25 textures when you are so far away that you only fill 10 screen pixels with it. While that sounds like an obvious idea, it is very hard to build a level of detail mechanism that still looks good when you move around the map and zoom in. My memory of WC command is that it doesn't allow you to freely roam around the map like CM does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 war2004, it's difficult to compare CMX2 with WC because none of the games is out yet, and there are no screenshots of CMX2 to compare. So I'm locking this. Feel free to open another thread with the same name in, say, 12 months Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
