hellfish Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Yes, but not in the campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 If I understood it right: yes, in Quick Battles and single scenarios, but not in the campaign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 From the official announcement: "The campaign is single player only from the US side. Quick Battles and user made Scenarios (using the Editor) can be played from both sides. Additionally there is an option to play "Blue on Blue" where US forces face off against US forces." Someone also asked about Red on Red. I don't see why not, so probably that too. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Red on Red? So I can kit out both sides with 8 suicide bombers? Last one with their intestines on the inside loses? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would like the option to play both sides. 2. Will it be possible for the user to create additional campaigns for the U.S. side? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalgiris 1410 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Chasing the Hare above... 3. I am wondering BFC how you can have Red on Red Quick Battles and the capacity to go the Syrians in user made Scenarios but still not be able to play a Campaigne as the Syrians? I'm thinking of both (Edited) Battles and Operations for Solo play or single Human vrs another single Human on line or head to head and not of multi-player / team play. I can understand that trying to participate in a multi-player game as the Syrians might be a bit impossible since I don't know any Arabic! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be designed to be played as Syrians, but then you couldn't play as US. Think of the campaigns in Steel Panthers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellfish Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Steve mentioned somewhere else that the campaign isn't playable as Syrians because it allows them to focus on the gameplay of the UN forces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I've a feeling MANY people will prefer to play the Syrian side. I know I'd rather play the Syrians. Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 It will depend on the type of player. The people who play CM with King Tigers will probably be playing with Abrams'. Those who like to play with T-26's will probably be playing with T-55's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 BFC must have some confidence in their new AI to go with an human vs AI only campaign. Intriguing. As to playing with Abrams. If this hypothetical 2007 Syria has mostly bridges rated for under 50 tons it might take some doing to get the beast from point A to point B on a map without something unfortunate happening to it. I suspect the game's going to be Stryker heavy simply due to the terrain! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 And how many bridges do you think they need to cross on the way from Iraqi border to Damascus? AFAIK Syria's not exactly some Florida or something, and since I don't recall heavy tanks having had such problems in Iraq... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very intriguing and promising if the BFI are thinking along the lines of developing significant improvements to the abilities of the Strat AI for more than just the multi-CoPlay FPS like side of CMx2. However I really fear that they might just be banking on the complexity of the multi-player team members working together to create by itself enough difficulties gaming wise to compensate for the intelligence or lack there of in the CPU opponent's handling of tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Originally posted by MikeyD: BFC must have some confidence in their new AI to go with an human vs AI only campaign. Intriguing. Actually they don't have confidence in their AI. That's one reason they are not going to do a Syrian campaign. You would need an AI capable of doing attacking for that. Defending is much easier for the AI to do. Making a good AI for this kind of game is hard. You could propably put as much effort in the AI alone than in the rest of the game and still the AI wouldn't be that great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillweed Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Steve has said he wants to do a syrian campaign, but is unsure if the AI can handle it. Perhaps a module? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
