istari Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Just starting to get into the game, and reserving judgment until I've had a few days to overcome my old CMBO/CMBB habits. However, there's one thing I've noticed almost immediately. This game seems designed to play real-time, yet that mode removes one of the aspects that made CMx1 such a dramatic experience: replaying the key moments from different angles. There have been probably thousands of times I've played a turn in CMx1, seen something unexpected happen across the battlefield, then go back and replay the turn with the camera close up to see the action first-hand. With real-time, if I'm not in the right position to see it, I'll never see it. While this might be a more accurate simulator of the confusion and limited situational awareness of a company commander, it seems a significant step backward in the "experience" of the game. Thus, will it be possible to add a TiVo-like rewind option in the future? Play in real-time and see something happen, then pause, rewind, and watch again from a different position before resuming in real-time?
