Jingo Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 We all love war movies, right? Well, I would like to propose an enhancement to CM games. One thing that would totally rock IMO is to allow a movie-type playback of the entire game. Not just a screen recording of what happened when someone played the game. But allow the game to replay the scenario while the user can jump to whatever hotspot he wants to see, zooming in and out as desired on the battlefield (much like what you can do in Rome:Total War games) Think what this would for AAR purposes and just the coolness factor. Aren't we essentially doing this with turn based email games, sending files back and forth, giving orders and then combining the two. Seems like it'd be a relatively simple enhancement (for turn based games anyway). Just mesh the files for the two sides and replay it. Anyway, I love the CM series and would totally love to see something like this in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abneo3sierra Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I use FRAPS to do this already, albeit from the player standpoint. And it is quite good to look back, if your opponent also does this, and see missed chances, etc..a video AAR basically as well. With FRAPS the file sizes are immense though, and for most people it would quickly fill up a hard drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingo Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Arrgg! I remember asking if this functionality was anywhere way back in the very first CM game. If they haven't done it in the last decade, maybe we'll have better luck in this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
