who plays RTS for the story? CoH is the only RTS ive played whose story didnt suck pretty badly. tho WC3 FT was ok i spose. at least the cut scenes were cool.
remember that they'll be adding units to supcom periodically. and also remember that its the only RTS in recent memory thats a simulation- thats a MASSIVE difference. truly huge. i cant get enough of the game, its so cool. i liked the DoW series, but again- like most other RTSs, theres no strategy. just close-combat tactics which has been done to death. anywayz, each to their own ;)
haha, philby romancing the boys in star wars. i always thought you were that way inclined mate :p |

| Company of Heroes is infinitely more entertaining than SupCom, esp in multiplayer. Just my opinion though. |

well i have no girlfriend anymore, and i now live by myself = a lot of time to play games.
STALKER, C&C3 and SupCom look the .
ps. Prey is still cool.
pps. I've got a net connection again. |

are you really sure it makes that much of a difference pkc? the game started to chug in the 2nd demo mission and i only have the demo so i cant really talk about it in a big sense but it hasnt really had a huge impact on me. i mean its cool seeing the shells from some units fly in not the exact same way, but there still seems to be a lot of units that have the "homing" effect on their attacks..can you really notice it? is it really that amazing? you make it sound like when you play the game it makes you jump around screaming for joy, it doesn't seem to have made a big difference, or any difference in the way ive played it.
also for you console fanboys, looks like there is no HD out of the box for the ps3, you will have to pay for something extra later on according to IGN |

dont play the missions! missions are awfully boring. skirmish and multiplay!!
yeah, it does make a difference because a combination of unit X with unit Y against units A & B isnt always going to give you the same result. whereas, all things being equal, the same situation in other games will always give the same result. it also means proper tactics, formations & things like pincer attacks work fluidly and properly, without any arbitrary rules that govern such activities. it means if you want to micro your troops you can get a significant advantage because troops can & will miss if youre coordinating them properly. it means you can take risks because a certain tactic isnt always going to succeed, but can sometimes.
its far more satisfying to be win with a good strategy rather than because you happened to build rock whilst your opponent built scissors.
there hasnt been an RTS made that allows as many and varied strategies (at least not that ive played). |

Nice!
Still doesn't mean the game will be any good, but it's a good step forward in terms of design :D |

haven't got that far in it yet
i reckon the graphics are pretty awesome - ppl have been very 2 sided about this, either saying it's or really good. it's definitely REALLY good and REALLY impressive, the only ones saying otherwise are those that are O_'s. Real time lighting, full weather - day, night, rain, lightning (which lights everything up!). Really good atmosphere.
initial gameplay thoughts. dunno whether the pistol is underpowered, or it's just human enemies (only encountered humans so far, seen some doggies in the distance though - refer to last pic), but takes like 10 hits to kill someone, or you might get lucky with a headshot and that'll kill them, but normally a single headshot isn't enough. yeah, you blow them in the face and they're going. it's like you'd think a few shots to the chest (bar 1), or a shot right in the face would kill someone, here it doesn't. and ammo seems scarce, kept running out and dieing. and just as you get into the first battle, it suddenly becomes night too, can't see , but they can see you fine.
Has a lot of potential though! Can't wait to play more of it. |

| ^^ enemies wear armour so yeah, the only way to go is the headshot. and preferably not with the pistol ;) its pretty inaccurate. |
